Hi guys!

New owner here. Just got it today. Silver, M line, Manual.
So far so good. Just got a scratch on the tint at the back door and small scratch on the left fender. Left back door can't close properly. Need to slam harder. =.=''
Overall quality wise...u get what u pay for...

Kinda weird driving this manual than others...don't now how to explain but feels odd.

Got a couple of questions:
1) It is kind of hard to get into second gear. Anyone got this problem before?

2) What psi/kpa should i pump the tire? I went to pump just now, the original pressure was 250kpa for front and back..then i check the car back seat, it states front 210kpa, back 190kpa.
Tried following the stated car pressure...saw the tire started to flatten...then pump back 245....haha

Hope u guys can help me on these. thanks.

245 is too high, 220 for front is OK, even max don over 230, else the tyre center thread will worn very fast.

The front will always look flatten due to engine weight (damn heavy), high profile tyre and small rim(185/60/R14), so don pump based on what u saw, for rear 200~210 should be ok.

noisy as in the insulation for noise is lousy.no firewall insulation, so direct engine noise pollution into the cabin, also the fenders too, too lil proofing there..basically its a basic ride with basic price. however, compare to an old iswara, it is somewhat better in terms of comfort through the interior and nice looking exterior.

1) duno how to answer

2) follow instruction. previously 245 coz the SA dun have those time to pump for u if ur car is going to be left at the parking slot for weeks and months.if u wanna have a better grip, follow the instruction.

Noted that. thanks coolkwc and SiuYi.

@weisern, what free gifts did you get from your dealer?

I see. So you guys DIY soundproof? How much is it? Im planning to change my lights to white soon.

I request for cash rebate instead of free gifts. Requested RM300 from SA. Just one question, full tank also include under free gifts? I got my car empty..lol...but the SA gave me 30bucks..maybe kesian me cannot drive back... laugh.gif

if ur door hard to close/open, look at the black 'n' metal latch on the car body that holds the door lock...u will see 2 vertical '|' and 2 horizontal '-' lines...
use a '+' screw driver and adjust that latch until it is aligned with the car body's '|' and '-'....

Thanks Smokey on the tip. Will give it a try on the weekends. Thanks bro.

that function is a must cuz due to the key design. You might accidentally press the disarm button without knowing it when its in your pocket. I hate the key design. I'll walk a few meters away before putting the key in the pocket...

An unknown insect has been leaving a trail of scratch-like marks on my car which is difficult to remove. Anyone encountered this before?

Had to use Soft 99 a few times to remove the trail.

Usually occurs at the bottom part, under the door there? Could be road tar...

No. It's on my hood or windshield.

I suspect it may be a tree sap instead of an insect dropping.

Those two could be the source. Better remove it quickly. U might want to try polishing.

So far 1.5 week into using my new BLM M Line silver Manual. Milleage is 700km
My observations:

- 80% highway 20% city gives me about 0.156 cents/km or 11.5km/l
- Pretty comfortable, but body roll is ALOT. cant corner too fast
- very loud engine noise when cruising from 100-110kph
- driver side got wind noise at 90kph
- my indicator stalk got squeeking sound when using signal
- radio drove me nuts until i realised it goes away when i disable AF function
- hate the drive by wire lag! feels like im not in total control of the car. still cant get used to it. can no longer fast shift like in a kancil
- might have more power than a kancil 850M, but because of the drive by wire lag, feels less lively and acceleration feels slower
- air cond compressor takes alot of power away
- air cond is cold though, but temp increase fast when the compressor off, and temp  drops fast when compressor on. feels cold, less cold, cold, less cold =.=.
- for its price, i guess its ok smile.gif FOR NOW.

Previous car : Mitsubishi Galant V6 2.0 / Kancil 850M

I have same problem with the wind noise on the driver side..70 -80km got noise already. Very irritating when its next to your ear. Air cond sometimes damn cold...sometimes i wonder whether working or not...but what amaze me it the power of the blower...really blows my mind...hahaha
