City driving only.
Never venture into the highway or long distance before.
The consumption is even more terrible than my old Wira. Gee.

Normal bro,sometimes my half tank only gets me around 150 kms during normal,non-jam periods in which I never rev the car ,just drive slowly only.

It will be worst if you always make alot of SHORT trips.Short meaning every trip is less than 5 kms.

Anyway,my fabric on the door armrest and the middle arm rest are rotting away at 10 months old.

I checked with a leather shop and they quoted me RM 500 to change all 4 door armrests + middle armrest to real leather.Can choose colour.

Worth it? Or can get cheaper?

I find that the first gear is very short...
It switches to second gear when it reaches 20km/h..
Then second gear is good to go until 50km/h..
Third gear can go until 80km/h..
If let go of the accelerator we are cruising 80km/h with 4th gear..

That's what can I observe with < 3k rpm.

if u step on throttle very light, u will find around 60kph++ it's already reached 5th gear.
IMO, the CVT gear is much nicer and smoother than this so called new 5AT gear

just now an accident happened when i went to fill up petrol.
after i put in the petrol nozzle, i let it auto filling and i went to wipe my front screen.
the bloody thing was the nozzle didnt stop until all the petrol was over filling and my car paint all kena the petrol.
there was at least 5L of petrol wasted and the floor was full of petrol. damn angry and afraid too. what if explosion happen =.='' shocking.gif
at the end, i need to pay RM90++ for the petrol (RON97). feel like complaining to the boss but...haih.,. guess nothing can do. dun think they will pay back for me....
so now I learn a lesson. altho we put auto filling now, stay around there in case this kind of case happen. bloody angry seeing the wasted petrol, wasted money, and my car paint.... vmad.gif vmad.gif

If step throttle too light, it can't even accelerate well..
Will hesitate when switching between gear..

Something wrong with the sensor at the pump nozzle?
Really dangerous.

I've been driving conventional slush box all these while and moving to the new 5AT just feels the same..
Maybe will shift to DSG in next release.

Remember to close your petrol lid tightly, then, flush plenty of water on those parts that kena petrol....it might damage the paint later.

My SA is pissed me off toady. Tomorrow is the day I'm suppose to go choose my number at JPJ. Just now she called saying that it's better for me to choose next month as the car might delay for another month. vmad.gif vmad.gif vmad.gif mad.gif mad.gif
USJ Service Centre is getting worst and worst. Even aunty who don't know anything can be a SA. And I'm serious when I asked her about CVT GB etc. She couldn't even answer properly.

Can the CITY's 16" rims fit in 195/55/16 rubbers?? I can't seem to find good rubbers like michelin that has 185/55/16 tyre size...
*
i changed my tyre to 195/50/16. Plan to get 195/55/16 but very difficult to get one.
Used stock tyre for 20000km before switched to this new size.
so far traction feels better and FC no different. also looks better on the 6J rim since the size it is wider.
205 is not suitable for 6J rim, have tried to put it at the tyre shop...bulging
