Haha my 2.0 got smoked by GTI last night. Went parellel with the GTI at highway exit. I pecut a bit oni that GTI macam gila overtook me.

Sigh 190Nm torque cannot fight with 280Nm, but then my car is RM104200 cheaper than GTI so i have no complaints tongue.gif

Back to VPower97 review.

After 3rd tank of usage FC came all the way down to 450km as opposed to 500km for 1st tank. Dunno why. I m driving like usual no pecut no nothing but FC keeps dropping.

Yesterday pumped full tank RON95, straigtaway felt car low power and engine noise louder. Always thought RON97 is a gimmick but now really proven it's not hehe.

Too bad RON97 no more subsidy, dunno what the fuel price will be like. Would really like to stick with RON97 sad.gif

personally, i would go for 2.0SX....juz too bad, is out of my budget
and also if i would, i would take the 1st batch of 2.0SX(Fully CBU), coz the cushion for 2.0SX 2nd batch sucks hard....prefer 1.6SX fabric anyway..

Hmm, which car you all drove previously?

How come you find the steering heavy?

During the car is stopped can you easily turn the steering wheel with 2 fingers? or 1 hand?

Steering wheel is supposed to get heavier with higher speed. It's very dangerous for the steering to be light during high speed.

On another note, looked at my car just now, the front driver and passenger seat window button all got light. Only rear is without lights biggrin.gif

Bros, i scratched one of my rim last week. Luckily no bengkok.

Would like to know if i need to get it repaired? Will it get rusty over time? The scratch around 20cm along the edge of the rim. sad.gif

The gear ratio design has comfort ride in mind, so the acceleration is slow. For more torque have to use manual mode. you'll fell more power after certain higher rpm.

for 2.0, please try vpower 97, it's a different world altogether from ron95.

i've tried so many different brand/type of fuels.

Even VP97, different petrol station different power. The one at NKVE subang exit is not bad.
