i got a Bayside blue for almost 2 years now. it was the 1st batch of CKD. 2 days ago my clock reset itself. so, it is time to replace the battery. when i checked the battery this morning, i realized it is only a 40R non-MF. my friend who got the CBU before me said hers came with 60R MF. now i know where one of the cost-cutting are.
well, i’m going to change to a 60R MF for juicier ride! swooosh…..

I got both a Latio Sport and a Swift. I can say that in terms of Handling wise…the Swift does a totally awesome job….in terms of Space and comfort….the Latio Sport wins.

Overall… Swift is a fun car to drive where it gives you that itch to push a little harder on corners just to feel the G…you’ll love the round-a-bouts on a swift. Consumption is good about 16cents per KM (they way I drive – could be less).
I would recommend this car… it’s really worth the buy. Best part is the spare-parts are now not that hard to find. Oh did I mention the interior finishing on this car…superb to every tiny detail.

In short… Swift is great…same goes to Latio Sports. Btw, I got my Latio Sports first then I got my Swift.

Cheers*

Everyone is concern about how the key works, how about the performance of the car? Is it worth forking out RM$73,788? I am very interested in knowing.

With keyless entry, how do you know the is locked..?

It’s the same as the keyless entry & start system on the 4×4 Grand Vitara. If you leave the key inside, you won’t be able to lock the door.

emm..Paul, u mean ‘like’ Latio’s…

if i remember correctly, Latio’s is to turn an ignition knob as well…[/quote]

actually “not unlike” means “like”[/quote]

then ar why not just type “like” 4 letters only instead of “not unlike” 9 letters plus one more ’space’ in between “not” and “unlike”? so “not not not like” means unlike rite? aiyooo….pening[/quote]

time to bring maths negative positive rules here…hehe…n sorry paul, misunderstood tat particular sentence..

if the remote is out of battery, just slide out the key that is embedded in the remote and unlock using the key.

The Japs even longer Paul now. Then only four years currently they stretch over ten years; look at corolla since 2000-2005; new model [but more toward heavy facelift] 2006-2012. Honda also follow suit; Odyssey. Nissan 370z too.

IF you left the key inside, how you close it ?
this kind of sensor range is very limited , the sensor only work in front of the driver door, front passenger door or the trunk door with limited range , so no worry about you forget the key inside the vehicle . INside the cabin will have another sensor for checking the validity of the key
btw, the nissan i key problem have been solve long time ago

I thought some time back, Nissan introduced this keyless entry for their cars only to recall the remotes back as the remotes sensor are easily destroyed when it comes into contact with TV remote control, face to face. hmmm

so there’s a higher chances of accidently leaving your remote/key/smart card inside the car…

its exactly the same at the nissan latio.

you need to have the remote near and then press the button on the door to unlock it. then when you wanna lock it, press the button again.

its more hassle free as in no need to dig out the remote in the pants anymore.

[quote comment="218543"]
Osh – Could that happen ? I mean the remote would be in the ignition to start the car right? So it won’t be just “left” inside a handbag in the car.

Btw does that mean that the door would automatically lock when you close the door or do you still need to press a button to do that ?[/quote]

not sure what this Swift keyless entry & start system work.. but AFAIK, keyless start mean when he or she sits inside the car, need to press an “engine start” button (or some sort) to get the car going without physically turning a key. As long as they have the smart key somewhere in the vehicle, the engine will start. Right?
