Hatchbacks
-
Greetings to all .
I just would like to ask 2 question . Are hatchbacks suitable for long distance travel? Such as from SG to M'sia (Genting) ?
Also, which hatchbacks do you guys recommend , a hatchback that have ample engine power , good fuel economy and spacious?

For a good powered hatchback with relatively efficient fuel ratio should be Honda Jazz, followed by Mitsubishi Colt and Suzuki Swift...Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:Greetings to all .

I've sat on a Honda Jazz before , but the car is "zeng" one . Lol ... My cousin go zeng it , then become sporty , altho gearbox is still auto . But overall performance is superb. -
Reason being too light ? Or suspension sucks?Originally posted by dork3d:Me won't even think of driving a hatchback all the way up north to Genting...
So ... What kind of cars are more suitable for driving up to genting? -
Hatchback is not good for long distance endurance driving... And most suspensions for hatchbacks are soft... And been light, it would be hard to handle especially for the incremental 15 degrees to 25 degrees slope driving and sharp turns at Genting just after Awana Hotel...Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:Reason being too light ?

For driving distance up north and able to endure the engine strain along the way, me think a 1.6 sedan or SUV or MPV would be better to suit... -

I've ridden on a MPV to malacca before and i can say its quite a bumpy ride, but the engine performance is superb . Its a Honda Stream (old version) . Not sure about fuel economy . Somemore at that time the car was carrying more than 5 people .

VW Golf is a reliable hatchback... Only turn-off is the price of the car...Originally posted by sir_boris:is not about type of car, is about the make. which 1 are you referring?

LOL..how clever of the thief..no violence needed..Originally posted by lalaTearz:sure tio rob on when on the way to genting..haha... -

Anyway it is not advisable to drive a posh car to malaysia . A simple toyota car will do . -
Don't have to worry, Ford is not on the list, usually Jap cars are more popular as parts are easily avaliable, if they steal a Ford, they can't sell it out.Originally posted by alleggerita:The Ford Focus ST can be a good choice to drive up North too..but again, the problem of looking after your car comes in..such nice car, confirm a lot of poeple wanna steal..
Usually they target Harrier or Rav4 or any SUVs, cos there's a high demand in thailand and east Msia.
Jap cars like Evo are always popular, cos its all PnP in most of the older protons. -
