2. yung handle nung door sa likod - parang nawala yung shine nya - kahit na bagong linis - very noticeable na hindi sya makintab .. unlike other panels na makintab.

3. andami ng swirl marks! my dad told me na pinalinis daw nya sa boy sa probinsya. am planning to bring it to Big Bert to have a premium carwash and i want to see how it will fair. iniisip ko kasi baka yung mga visible stuff na napapansin ko is because of the way na ni-carwash yung outie.

4. matagal ko na itong naririnig eh - kapag naka break ako - or basta nakatapak sa break and naka "D" yung gear ... i often here a sound .... na parang nag-e-engage yung break ... or something like that ..... is it normal? na parang tunog ala-truck yung break or transmission ba yun?

anyway ... my outie is barely 3months old pa lang.

Pare, my friend does detailing and auto paint protection. Sa kanya ako for 5 years na. Meguiars products gamit nya. Kaya yan ng 3 step, tangal swirl marks mo. Yung ford escape ko nabenta pa ng maganda dahil ayos ang paint job. 3 times ko nga lang napagawa sa kanya instead of 5 (1 per year) but it really made the paint last even after 80,000 km! PM me if interested.

With regards to EB, how about a sunday fun-run/eb in tanay? we can go via cogeo or the ortigas ext.-antipolo road. suggestion lang

According to this the Outie is the 3rd worst in terms of fuel economy...

The ‘midnight econo-run’

The results were surprising since I regularly commute from Makati to Cavite in the early morning and easily hit 13kms/l with traffic and stops. Though I dont put the thermostat on its highest settings.

Hope they publish the results with all the vehicles that participated so I can weed out the diesels.

What's usually your thermostat setting?

With regards to the upcoming EB, how about Tagaytay?, just a thought. Tanay is fine with me though, para malayo layo.

btw, I only have the 2wd model...

My best FC so far is 13km/l from Manila to Batangas and going back. My average is 11.5-12km/l when taking this route. I have the 2.4 4x2 model.

Daily average FC (Bicutan-Makati and back):
6-8km/l (stop and go, slow moving traffic along SLEX)

9-10km/l (if I leave the house early and leave the office late or I use the Skyway)

Same driving habit as redshift. I also shift to neutral when on red light.
