First, have to know that i have 2 ppl in the car.
Secondly, my car that time already 8000km on 800 oil. Damn black wei engine oil. I think ur fully synthetic oil does give difference in terms of fc. 6.8km/l. Back home managed to get 14.7km/l
U r right. Need to use better oil. Proton give lousy oil.
Third, high cc car and cvt gear. 90kmh take sharp corner. Haha... Until my tyres burned out fast and alignment and camber run. Staring from 130kmh at karak highway my tyre starting to have wheel spin and lost of grip.
Fourth, i dont have experience in going up genting. Therefore, experience does makes a difference. I highway basher. Genting i have to salute you. Manual still more powerful than cvt when going up genting.
Btw, does anyone knows how to solve camber problem.

You can try if u want. That time plenty of cars went up. Traffic a bit jam. If not 15 mins also can reach genting. Tell u something inspira really underster a lot. Becareful when take sharp corner.

Suck oil. 5000km need to service. Heavy and useless. Puchong sc doesnt have stock for 1000. Damn....

Bro. join the 1.8mt bandwagon. its the only B segment with more than 1.6cc car that have manual gear.
the only 1 in Malaysia that is...was it?

What car are you tokking?? Inspira C segment lar...some people even says it can be categorized as lower D segment....but it's definitely one of the more spacious C-Segment car....compared say, to Altis...Altis very cramp....dun rike.

I think your other fren (2.0) not very adept in using paddle.... i have gone up and down losing only to taxi, he over took me and all i can do is tiong him within 2 car length (just follow his line, easy peasy).... hahahaaha

Something is wrong with my car then.
Your car = my car = stock. But I got different readings than yours.

If u look at proton brochure, 1.8MT and 2.0CVT have the same FC, only 1.8CVT have suck FC.
So any talk about FC can stop here.

buying a car at 1.8 or 2.0 and talk about FC seems like pointless, no?

1.8MT cruising 110km/h at highway with around 3000rpm. Will the NVH be really bad?

Still ok at 3k rpm.
4k rpm u will start to hear engine shouting a bit. Do some sound proof hit 150 still very nice.

Agree with rune.. C Segment.. But worry FC.. Its fun to drive.. hee

Added on October 30, 2011, 1:31 pmVoucher actually show cvt 1.8 best FC la. 6.2l/100km .. Compare to 1.8 Mt and a2.0 cvt at 6.3l,/100km

But these figure measure at 90km/h constant speed..no stop n go

Agree +1

haha...weight issue....oh yea..i gotta agree im alone and his car has 2 ppl..bt im quite heavy also lor and ICE is installed..i use toyota fully syn oil la...but sleed pakai ron97 vpower...

all can juz boil down to experience i can say..hehe...im used to go genting quite frequent..

guys,I reaching my first service/1000km soon...and following service will be 10k km right? Wonder what engine oil sc will use for my car? Fully syn? Or semi? And how about the oil filter? Have to change at 5k km right even next service is 10k km?

ya..10k km

SC will give syn800, 10W-40 for 10k km

oil filter mostly now will be proton 1, some bros here say mitsu 1 no more already.

up to u to change at 10k or 5k. i prefer to bring my own engine oil(mobil) and take the syn800 for my honda city.

change at 5k then the price would be as much as the fully syn engine oil, but the petronas syn800 is terrible during morning starts and makes the engine feel very rough.

it is not as simple as 2 X semi syn = fully syn, cuz fully syn is better for cold starts, and much better in terms of cleaning.

this is my experience, ive been changing semi syn oil every 5k km, cold engine starts has been harsh and takes a long time to stablise. once i change to mobil 1 fully syn, it is much smoother and faster to stabilise. not to mention the amount of carbon that it took out(can even see on the dipstick for the 1st few days)

simple. please refer to your service booklet or free service voucher... u will understand further there. thank you.

Moreover, i did post about my SC experience at previous post. please read for further understanding.

Today i went locksmith to duplicate the key n casing which we got last friday!!!

Guess what, the key is too thin.... Yet to grind the key already patah.......

So, got to modify... RM32 burned

to those who wan to balancing and alignment. go to old klang road, from mid valley its on ur left. not far after u turn from mid valley.

find kee hin tyre. all michelin logo. balancing n alignment top notch!

Bro, mine too, also split into 2. First I thought the "key man" too rough with the key. Now confirmed key too thin as claimed by the "key man".
Now stuck with the remote without key.

SA called..getting my car end next week... can't wait.

so what normally you do when you get ur car? go test the max speed? I was thinking to ask the SA don't pump full tank on the car exchange with cash. Personally go pump 97 or V-Power so the car can have a good 1st meal. After that, slowly pump back 95... is there any different 95 or 97?

check ur car properly. make sure got torch light inside the emergency box.

test top speed after 1k km. after u break in then only use 97 la.... ur new car still new... no point to pump 97.... unless u wanna race with friends... hehe...

the difference between ron 95 and 97 not much different. please note u pay 90 sen to rm1.10 extra on premium petrol depending with type u pump in. cannot pump everytime... BMw = Burn my Wallet. for NA cars not much difference. turbo car like my volvo 850 does give big difference.

ron 95: pump at BHP petrol (millage so much better than shell ron 95). city drive 590-650km. highway 750km+++.
ron 97: pump at shell petrol. V-power 97 or racing *ron98/99 (whenever possible, located one in TTDI there) better mileage compared with other ron97. city drive 630-700km. highway dint test as i rev a lot.

tested with all kind of petrol. caltex, petronas, shell, bhp, esso/mobil (same). esso not that bad...

worst ron 95 is caltex: city:450-490km. highway: 550km. caltex suck both city and highway.
ron95 petronas: city:460-530km. highway: 600km.
ron95 esso/mobile: city= 500-580km. higway: 680km.
ron95 shell: city= 490-580km. highway: 700km.
ron95 BHP: city= 500-600km. highway: 750km.
ron95 bhp at ss13@ persiaran kewajipan(in front summit usj) is the best bhp. superb service and free mineral water every rm30 of petrol pumped in.
