You can use it for 7 working days as long as you have the CSR and invoice. Afterwhich, you'd have to wait for OR/CR. Yung plate, wait for lightyears.

Hi lexiedog. 7 working days talaga? So abot pa pala ng 15 since saturday un! Once i get my or/cr, i can already use it na without fears of getting caught? Sorry first car. Hehe

I popped up the hood and I didn't see any engine coolant inside the tank. Or am I looking at it incorrectly? I'll be visiting Alabang branch again this Saturday and I'll ask tips from people there. When I got my unit, I hurriedly took it home so I had only a couple of minutes to actually see it. I didn't even inspect it. :p

May mga nakikita naman ako sa kalsada ngayon na walang plaka, you should be safe as long as you still follow the number coding for your conduction sticker

Thanks! Sir Louie, pano pala magconnect ng rear camera sa LCD screen ng M2? ☺

Yes just double check with your SA if the CSR will be released on the same day your car will be released

Ang sabi ni SA meron na daw CSR so I assumed I can already have it when I pick-up the car.

Ok here's my mini-review of the 2. The one we have is the R sedan version so its got the paddles, HUD, HID, DRL, touch screen and leather trims. We broke it in for a trip to Subic last Monday and so far it drove well. Aircon is strong and cold, steering is on the light side, stiffens at speed but doesn't communicate well with the road. Driving dynamics is nice, easy to maneouver, but kind of sluggish in normal mode, up shifting at 2000-3000RPM. But move the switch to Sport and it becomes lively, with a noticeable change in engine note, stays in lower gear a tad longer and upshifting at 4000-5000RPM. Medyo puro straights pa lang natatakbuhan so not sure how it will handle twisties, but so far minimal body roll naman during turns. Suspension is a bit on the stiff maybe even sporty side.

Some niggles: Its a bit small for my old-folks, I guess nasanay sila sa mga compact cars like the Altis and the Civic, well even for me (my other ride is a Sorento). Also not a fan of the carbon fiber accents (every one knows its just stickers). Also no bottle holders/cubby hole for the rear passengers. And the horn, oh its really awful. Parang potpot ng magbobote. Will ask the SA if I can change it w/o affecting warranty. Tires are bit on the thin side too.

Oh average FC based on the trip computer is 9L/100km or about 11.1km/L at a mileage of less than 500km.

^What was your average speed for this trip?

What was your maximum speed?

Was the car fully loaded?

**Yatta** · August 5th, 2015 08:24 PM

For the whole 500km mileage? Average speed was 20-25kph according to the computer. That probably includes the time it was driven in Friday night traffic from Taytay warehouse. Max speed was probably a burst of 130kph for a few seconds, but I kept a constant 100-110kph speedlimit. Passengers were 3 adults.
