Guys, any ideas how much FC would it cost from KL to Penang? How's the long distance journey with Viva? 120km maintain okay? I'm thinking of getting a Vivaaaaaaaaaaaa

I am driving 1.0 Manual. Every 27 litre (pump full tank after blinking) can give me between 420km to 500km (around 17km/litre) for city and highway. U do the math.

WOW! That's kinda impressive, I guess?

How's your driving experience for long distance on a highway in a Viva? Mind sharing it with me please? How's the speed?

Is it true that Viva will tend to 'shake/vibrate' when you reach certain speed?

I am seriously interested in getting myself a Viva!

1. For me, driving for long distance is quite ok la.. just need to adjust to the correct seat angle and position
2. It doesn't shake or vibrate la.. just float like a boat only. i manage to reach 170km/h (4th gear) in MEX while going downhill =p

How much was ur RPM during 180km/h @ 4th gear? The car actually doesn't shake / vibrate when high-speed, but why are still people saying that it would? hmm.gif

this afternoon, the car security company TKS (takashimaya) rep came to my house....wanna sell their car security system that uses card.

the rep told me that it's easy to break into viva with just a fork. he wanna do demo on my car. i quickly shoo him away. WTF...my car is not for demo.

I just wanna gain some knowledge on standard car security system of a viva. Is it really easy to break into?

i don't know about our viva, but my gramps wira could be break easily. that kind of seller came to our house and did a demo and boy that was very impressive!

QUOTE(nandayryu @ Apr 27 2011, 04:37 AM)
i thought i am the only one who faces the viva on vibration while slowing down my car or just starting it early in the morning,i didnt know it has something with the fuel.is there any other solution besides this that i can use to kick off the vibration ?maybe external hardware that i might need to add on ?
*
if your viva came with ABS system, then it's normal.

solution? use better rotors from aftermarket brand or use myvi rotors which i reckon will still vibrate hmm.gif

Has any viva owner here encountered this bfr;

1) whole car shakes d most at 70 kmh whn braking frm 110 kmh with 2/3 brake pedal pressed down or juz pull ur handbrake at 60 kmh thn can feel d whole car vibrate dy (pull slowly so u wont lock d wheels)

2) knocking noise in 5th door / trunk door whn going over small bumps/ potholes?

3) ac sounds like its stuck at 2-4 fan speed.

3 years means still under warranty right. Ask them to check the brake rotor. You might have a warped front disc.

1. Same as mine. High speed + hard braking = whole cabin vibrate (steering doesn't). Normal issue for small cars? Previously my steering vibrate when braking is due to t he disc not even, but the problem was solved.

2. It might be the tools (OEM tool bag) that hit something (for my case)

3. No idea.
