Anyone know roughly what is the interest rate of the bank lately? My gf's bank just called up giving rm490 per month for Elite AT for 9 years. Thanks.

Please check with the bank around and ask as many car salesman as you can. Nobody here can give you the accurate answer you want.

By the way anyone install NGV on this little Viva...? if install NGV can give me any PRO and CON? is possible to install?

Standard plug can last up to 20k -25k kms.. Reccomended to be change every 2 service intervals.. Mean while for iridiums it can last up to 100k kms.. (based on my understanding)

U can google up for better understanding about these plugs...

Added on December 25, 2011, 8:51 pmFor me what i can see that we install nvg.. We will loose the trunk space..since the trunk is already small..if u wanna install it under the car i guess its impossible...

For me.. Empty tank weights around 45-60kgs (depends on material).. Put more burden on car.. Abs cepat kong.. Tire ware cepat kong.. (i am very particular about weight...) ( ehem.. Camel u know what i mean...) hahaha..

Thats what i see.. Since its a small car i find it not that pratical for me.. Since the fc is already good.. (seems pretty well for me as i can clock 450-500 with a full tank..moderate mixed driving)

But its not wrong to install to your viva.. If u are willing to loose ur trunk space..

sifooo

anyway bro davinyan,

if Fuel Consumption is your top priority, viva manual is the best choice in the market (manual savvy too ).

i would suggest to go for the 850cc. 660cc will be too underpower. 1L on the other hand, will give you the power and consume a LITTLE BIT more fuel than 850cc. this however depends on your right foot, if you're light on your throttle pedal, 1L might be as fuel saving as 850cc or even better due to the engine might need a little less effort to move the car compared to 850cc.

NGV, apart from the space problem as been highlighted by bro Ilyas, there is nothing wrong with it.

But, if you take a long term calculation onto the table, i will say that the cost of buying a 850cc manual viva+installing NGV+daily fuel and NGV refill+car maintenance will not be much cheaper than buying the 850cc manual viva+daily fuel+car maintenance.

it might save you just A LITTLE BIT due to the fact that viva is already a fuel saving car. so, ask yourself, are you willing to lose the boot space just for that a little bit of saving? i can't, as my boot space is always full with my helmet,glove for my racing activities and of course when i go out with GF, we need that space to put stuffs in after shopping

My sparco bag aje dh penuh satu boot belakang..that does not include my helmet bag yet..haha..too bad i am not a shooping person (yet) hahaha..

But for me space that counts..unless if ur a lone range..haha..

If i am not mistaken..installing cost around 3.5-4k..(fiber tank)..

Full tank ngv cost around 6rm...

Thanks You All... All this is information is so important to me to make my decision. i love this forum...Long Live VIVA....

Added on December 26, 2011, 12:35 pmAfter some discussion, the boot space is also important to me...i also think of some alternative car like Avanza(bigger boot space), get rid off the 3rd row, can have a big space for NGV. But that is another price tag compare to VIVA.

So the Fuel Consumption is depends on:

1. how much load is on the car?
2. how deep you press the oil?
3. Also the RPM?
4. Others?

Hope that helps bro .


Personally bro, if you are not looking for any of these :
-bigger space
-a bigger engine
-a better build quality (viva is well built but there are some other choices with higher price tags that have better quality)
-you don't mind the 'soft' chasis of viva (bad for handling and i believe not as safe as other 'tough/hard' chasis car when accident *touchwood*)

Viva is indeed the suitable choice for you since you are very concern about the Fuel Consumption

So the Fuel Consumption is depends on:

1. how much load is on the car?

Normally its just me... No xtra passange... 55kgs... So i can monitor the fc diff with one passange and with extra passanger... Ive ditch some stuff as well (not the tire of course ) Hahaha bugger u kamal... Tau la i am light weight with extra ballast

2. how deep you press the oil?

Depends on your right foot habbit

3. Also the RPM?

I usually maintain gear change at 2.5k - 3k and while cruzeing right foot off the gas..

4. Others?

Just like what camel said... Tire and rims... If ur planning to change.. Change it to the same size as stock.. Or just up size it an inch..is just enough.. Range 14-15inch

Check tire pressure regularly .. Make sure it inflate with the right pressure..

Try to minimise usage aircond..(i find this pointless..we are in malaysia and its bloody hot) hahaha..

Good maintainance... Follow suggested service intervals..

Owh yeah..another thing..dont all in to the market hype..buying all those fuel additive saying that "it can save more fc more km" thats totally BS...




Basicly its about driving habbits...just drive and enjoy...dont need to speed like hell...Our viva cant do much interms of speed..

camel90, ilyas_jamal

Thanks Again...Merry X'Mas and Happy New Year 2012....

My gf owns a Viva and I think the FC is a bit high... 350-380km then it starts blinking.... is it normal? Btw, it's 60% City Drive.

thats good already. mine touch 300 then blink already

that's from full tank?

anyway, mine is 14km/L.

with RM20 worth of RON95, i could go on for 145km (Petronas), 130km(Shell) and 150km(Esso). those with driving according to the legal speed limit of this country . if i did some high speed chase (140kmh), i got 130km(Petronas),110km(Shell),137km(Esso).

Mine is Elite 1.0L Auto

Yea it's full tank bro So it means that Viva FC is actually not as good as Myvi's

u gotta bare in mind that viva full tank is not as expensive as myvi full tank bro!
viva is more fuel efficient if u calculate per liter.. not per full tank

I full tank can run up to 600km+

for my viva i can clock with a full tank around 450-480kms (some times more).. depends on driving type... haha..

town + highway + kampung driving..haha..

the best reading that ive got for now is 45kms/liter..haha.. but that when the car is still new.. not reading vary a bit.. 42-39kms / liter..
