buy persona oso more better than tis lagi best

I agree

Getting?? Wah... ini baru betul Even Better

To answer number 3; You will need to park on either cement or tiles overnight to check for leakage. If you park on tarmac, fluid will most likely evaporate before you could spot them.

for my BLM is the same size i not sure about flx

so i check it after getting the car, and if leeking, go back to dealer or do i go to the SC?

I think better to go to OFFICIAL Proton Service Centre.

hope it is also the same size... thanks yooo

It's okay to have a slightly smaller spare tire. It's a spare after all. Not meant to be used for a long period of time.

but won't it be dangerous if you put it on when one of the 4 tires is flat?

The jerkiness could be contributed by the drive by wire delay as well. I used to suffer from jerkiness caused by the drive by wire delay. During my 10K service, they did something to my car and the delay has almost been eliminated. It feels sooo much better now.

There's still a bit of delay, but nothing I can't handle.

The biggest problem with the fuel indicator is that 1 bar can hold around +-50 liters (auto). It's worse for the manual (1 bar can hold even more). There's no way to know if you are at the beginning or the end of the bar so you can have a variance of +-100km in your fc calculation because of that. This doesn't happen for analogue meters cause you can see where you are in that particular bar.

As always, the best way to calculate is still to use the proper method, which is to pump full tank,reset meter, run around, refill full tank again and then compare.

Actually at that speed, I don't care what car you're driving. It's going to be a life and death scenario.

Precisely. I'd rather get a full spec persona at that kind of price.

Or better still, a 1.6 FLX CVT with full spec. If it were to go for around 50K or less. I can spend an extra 1 - 2K to insulate the car myself. lol.

Even if the rims are smaller, as long as the tire profile compensates (.e.g higher profile), there should be no problems using it. You can use online tire size calculators to verify.

Nope. Altho of diff size but rolling circumference of only very small % diff nia. So ok as temp replacement 2get yu home or to nearest tyre shop.

Juz drive @slower speed to avoid unnecessary worry re safety.

ps. I've personally driven with such diff spare tyre fr Pg to A/Star with no prob!!

NB. Nowadays only HIGHER end cars come with FIVE (5) pcs same type alloy rims.

Edit: eh, wait. Mine are same size but the spare is steel rim.

Before u collect yr car, u can instruct yr sales person to park it at a cement place and leave it there for few hrs. So when u go to collect, just note the floor. For plastic paddings, mine have creaking noise at the left corner. Anyway, just press all over to make sure nothing is loose.


Whoa, this is major QC issue. Luckily no serious accident happened. The belt is rated for 200,000km lifespan (if not mistaken I read somewhere). Sigh, I will be going down to Spore soon so now my heart a bit worried, too. Car mileage now only 100+km.


The idea is to reject the car upon first inspection. If u find faults, still accept meh?

The spare is meant for temporary use until u get the original fixed. My FLX comes with 4 Goodyear tyres and the spare is a cheapo "Continental" I think. Not really bothered.

Exactly...i dunno why people keep comparing 1 bar how much fuel...totally inaacurate FC measurement.

Again very true. Even whatever Euro NCAP 5 stars, 10 stars, they only guarantee the safety at 64 km/h or less for front impact, 50 km/h or less for side impact.

It's funny, some people who thinks their cars are indestructible just because they have 3 stars or 4 stars from NCAP and speed at 180km/h.

Even impact at normal highway cruising speed of 110 km/h.....there's no more guarantee from NCAP....you eat urself...LOL.

Added on September 13, 2011, 12:05 pmHmm...the CVT GB from Punch?? Maybe need to research what other cars use this GB and any such same incidence...but to break off so easily is.........luckily driver didn't get into accident.......i think better stick to old AT GB or manual if buy Saga for time being.....dun wanna be lab rat.....at least for Inspira, Lancer guys have help us test for a few years already....

How to reject?
Our Msian way of delivery of cars is only AFTER the car is registered with JPJ ie the said car is oledi YOURS...in yr name!!

So NO way anyone can reject, correct?

Car company wld juz repair, etc for you depending on the faults detected. True?

Only one thing we can do after placing order for a new car...PRAY HARD that one wld get a reasonably well-assembled car with reasonably reliable parts...Agreed?

kesian your Saga SE
neglected

Speaking of which, yesterday I had the chance to sit in a car which feels like going at 50km/h but actually it is going at 110km/h. But the FC is shit brixx, 15.8L/100km

FUUU... go eated those maivee faster.

some people say shell gives better mileage, but underpower. So, if you want to do things to correct the underpower (ie: throttle mashing), then it just defeats the purpose.

+1.

For me, I know my own car's limit then its sufficient. Dont want to try to be god or else ended up being with god.

THe FLX spare isn't a full size. Its a space saver Continental CC2.

Lemon law. Not all cars manufactured are perfect. My FLX has alignment issues too. I have to steer a bit to the left in order to go straight.

My CVT so far so good, been up and down Genting in SAT mode and 110km/h on highways numerous times. SO far sill strong.

from what i know there are 2 kind of belt used in CVT
not sure which is used in our CVT...but those belt shouldn't just break
somemore come from a reputable company.....manufacture defect?
proton sure claim back kaw2 with that company

eh cepat2 do alignment at workshop.. i never do alignment at sc..

it is registered
but u have to sign another doc when u get the car
if u not happy with the car...got defect...u can not sign...ask them to fix 1st

yeah, that's right... yesterday i send my car for my 1st service, they ask me i want Shell or 'new' Petronas engine oil? the Petronas engine oil is cheaper than Shell for RM4 only...

yesterday on the way driving home, i try SAT mode when climbing up hill, the transmission is much better...
