Guys, i just went for my 7th test drive. This time in a totally new car (silver). Pushed the car for about 15 mins and the burnt smell was there. Quite strong. This is really worrying me. Seems like a common issue.
*
initially I have this problem also, now my mileage 1500km hardly smell that anymore, I suspect the burnt smell is from the new anti-rust coating on the exhaust system.

Bro u sleep in the car or brows.gif ..i find that very hard to spy ppl in the car with engine on, with the drl on, every passerby will keep looking at the car sweat.gif , saw one white at OUG yesterday, driving with DRL OFF, faulty hmm.gif
QUOTE(irangan @ Apr 5 2012, 02:15 AM)
RON95 or 97? Why so low? Stuck in jam very often? Alot of braking?
mostly city drive, so u can imagine la...anyway, i think is my driving style, here are my previous ride FC for comparison (with normal city drive),
Honda City IDSI - 10-11km per liter (my wife can get 13-14km)
Nissan Latio Sport - 9-10km per liter
Optima K5 - 8-9km per liter with eco mode on all the time

QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Apr 5 2012, 07:53 AM)
Guys,
The Optima is a heavy car. Its heavier than most of the d segment Japs out there. So higher fc is to be expected in city driving.

DJSoo, can u describe hows ur car rear door sound like? ...mine one I m not very sure from B pillar or rear door, like some metal part knocking, very soft...other passenger didnt notice but kind of annoying coz its right into my ear. Anyone know which SC good in fixing this type of problem icon_question.gif ?

Just to share some information about freebies that i've got, there were 2 diff offer, Sunway Kia dealer offer free tinting (VKool Elite + Armorcoat), Smart tag & Full tank, another dealer offer cash rebate RM2000 + Smart tag + full tank, finally i choose Sunway Kia coz they offer better trade in price for my H.City

They had freebies but no discounts offered as this SA is directly under Kia and he told me that they knew of dealers giving unauthorized discounts and taking action.

Ya, this is what Kia Sunway told me when I booked my K5 from them, thats y they offered me tinting worth RM2k instead of giving cash rebate.

QUOTE(Felice821 @ Apr 15 2012, 10:28 PM)
I got it from Sunway with RM2500 rebate + Full tank.

They found that many of the original Proton parts had been changed. The shock absorbers, fuel tank, etc were all non original Proton parts.

Scary sweat.gif, but one thing for sure dealer will use customer's car for test drive

dont be too sure abt this...i have seen KL plate change alphabet within a week...and since u are going to buy the plate off the counter, and being a KL (popular) plate, u have to be there as early bird to queue up and buy it.. or if runner doing it, they will know the time since they go they everyday
