Phew, waiting 5 months for delivery from Japan while checking out forum everyday is mentally challenge.

Here it is finally. Absolutely gorgeous damn

Btw, the radio really sucks like most of you said, totally bad reception and can't hear jackshit.. (maybe the car is too low, should buy one of those 7-seaters beside lol)

Jyn · 04-30-2014, 12:29 PM

Congrats! Reception for me hasn't been terrible - it goes from HD radio to normal a little more than I think it should, but it's really just the speakers that suck in my opinion.

Speakers are fine. Just stop using the ducking radio people. Take your mp3 player(or cell) and a M/M 3.5mm cable and plug the shit in. They are not base machines obviously with the largest speaker being a tiny ass 6". The tweeters are like 1" and 3".

Speakers with deep bass weigh a lot. They are giant magnets after all.

This is totally subjective. You think they're fine because you are not used to quality audio.

Others have been listening to higher end stuff and in comparison the speakers are not good.

Huge difference in audio but I know many people who couldn't tell the difference because they have no comparison.

vividracing · 04-30-2014, 01:46 PM

Purty...White is always the best color IMO.

To be fair, our car is nowhere close to the ideal car for sound quality. The speaker layout is poor at best and the noise floor is very high. I feel like the best you could ever get in one of these cars is "good enough".

congrats

reni · 04-30-2014, 11:13 PM

Isn't it ridiculously expensive to own a car in Hong Kong??

Anyway you should get some pics with cool cityscapes in the background....

Matter of money. Since my windows are open most of the time, good enough is more than good enough. Whiteout is the best color. Why the different color and shape plates?
