Hie just wanna ask where can I get that blue keyhole light thingie around KL? And how much and how to fix.THanks alot!

Yes bro,the car is naturally jerky.Have been experiencing this for the past 1 year since i got the car.Now after doing 45k kms,the car is still like that.

Just wanna ask,i was going around 180km/h then suddenly a car moved in front of me.So no choice i had to brake quite hard.

But as i braked,the pedal is vibrating and the whole dashboard is literallly moving from left to right(vibrating also)..

Is this normal or wat? I feel the brakes are not too good..

nopez....not shaky at all at 180km/h..just that when i presss the brake slightly hard ,then its vibrates like mad!!

When i am at 140km/h i feel the car is slow.Mayb i am used to it lah cause i travel alot.

But maybe it could be due to the fact that I have fixed 5 C-tech stablizer bars on the car.So its more steady at higher speeds.

Bro i think outside can get slightly cheaper.Leather seat outside rm2k thn the rest i think total about 2.6k can get..

All those accessories I think your SA will get from outside also...RM 2.8k for leather alone is exp lah.Outside can be done for RM 2k at Gosford leather in Kuchai Lama.Very good quality.

Such a dumb dumb question? "will the gearbox spoil after gng up genting?" you think what, genting is the highest peak in the whole wide world tht onie ferraris, lambos can go? Pls lah, its just genting lah, any pariah proton gearbox oso can go up lah. Do u think our gb will spoil just by going up tht tiny mountain? Use ur otak first lah b4 you ask such dumb questions!

Theres alot of difference.I installed 5 bars in total.All of urs including one more.Not sure which one though.Did you put a bar in the boot?

After fixing the bars,the handling and cornering improve tremendously.After that i realise how teruk the stock handling is..lol..

Anyway,be careful when you are carrying people and go over humps,very likely that you will scratch the bars..i kena few times d..

Imo, petronas ron95 feels smoother and better fc but slightly less power.

Shell ron95 engine feels rough and higher fc but more power.

So depends on what you want.

1st day got my car already drive it at 160km/h on Kesas.

Tyre skidded cuz too new.After that slowed it down.But yea it was fun to drive when it was new...

Added on August 12, 2010, 10:46 pmI think when u say ur driving at 100km/h,your still pressing the gas pedal hard right? Thats y u see the RPM at 3000 ..but if you just let it cruise at 100km/h,RPM shud be about 2100

Yes i would say 60% of the time.But up until now,nothing wrong with my car.So far 1year 3 months alreaddy.Done 54000 mileage...

Just that there is some rattling and squeaking noises here and there lah..

Not bothered.Hahaha..

Engine still working perfectly well after all the hard thrashing and over revving at 190km/h..

Japs still make very reliable cars..

Its ok,planning to sell this car in 2 years time...sien already =p

Yes the city pickup is quite bad frm standstill.feels rough and noisy. But once reach 60 kmh onwards better d lah.

Gearbox can be jerky at times.

Suspension is better thn previous city in terms of stiffness. But due to tht stiffness, ride quality is super duper bumy. Seriously, every single bump can be felt.

But my no1 complain of this nhc willl b the very inconsistent engine.

It can be brilliantly smooth and powerful atoday. Then tommorrow, it will feel sluggish, and rough.

You hv to drive it long enough to exp this.

So no choice, bought the car, hv to try to live with it..

Oberall the nhc is a very average car after 1year with the car. Previous city engine definately nicer n smoother to drive.

Haha,just dont put so much hope on it,then maybe you will find it to be a decent car.If you put high expectations,you will be surely disappointed.

Haha,if given a chance i wont buy the NHC again..haha thats for sure.Somehow after 1 year with the car already,still cannot feel satisfied with it.Not like my previous myvi,i drove it for 1 month onie and i was super satisfied.Still not satisfied with the City though..its a jack of all trades,but master of none..

Besides the NHC looks,i think thats all that is good about the car lor...

Engine- so so ..neither here nor there..I-vtec is WEAK.No torque at low end.Go up hill is a nightmare in D mode.Definately have to use S-mode.
On the good side,its smooth and quiet at high speeds. > 80km/h
Gearbox- Always unsure which gear to engage in d mode.Sometimes change when its not suppose to change,sumtimes never change when its supposed to change.Its like you put a 10 year old kid in a university.
Handling- Stock handling ok ok onie,after i fixed 5 Ctech bars then onie became better
NVH- Ok when new,but after 1 year become teruk,now i close all the windows when motor pass by can hear as though my window open..zzzz
Interior and exterior design- Nicest part of the car
Steering feel- Nice to hold and drive
Suspension-hard like batu!! Go over bumpy road is a nightmare.Even on smooth highway,can feel those minor bumps.Annoying lorr
FC-Lousy in city driving,Ok on highway driving if no hard revving.Rev a lil,and it will be bad
Seats- Ok lah,not too hard,not to soft
Driving Visibility- alot of blind corners so becareful
Turning Radius- Excellent.Can turn tight corners with ease
Boot- Big and spacious
Interior built quality -so so,when new it was very quiet but now after 1 year d,got rattling and squeaking sound when drive over uneven road.

Overall every car has its pro and cons,but this City has too many cons liao.I am not asking for a perfect car,just a decent car.

PLanning to sell this car maybe in a year or two.


But Forte of course is worst than city lah .Forte engine feels no pick up and "Kasar"..and the steering feel is bad in my opinion lah...

If given a choice again,i will get the pug 308 turbo without a doubt!!

About rm230-250 per piece

Yeap, thts one of the reasons. Another reason wud b the heavy chassis. 15 inch wud suit this car better

It depends lah. How well u chg gear in s mode and hw you press the gas, its always better to press hard than to press slowly which will drink up ur gas.

But in d mode, it seriously drink alot wei goin uphill!

That scratch is very minor. Last time my car was just 1 month old, this fella use key scratch my car from front till bck. If u kena tht, u really can cry d. Deep long scratch summore..
