1. what do u think of this car?is it worth buying?
Good, and yes.

2. will it be able to sell off in the future since it is a diesel engine?
Why not? Diesel engine are built to last.

3. how is the fuel consumption rating?is it better than most of the currently available 1.8L and 2.0L cars in the market?
Fuel consumption... Are you comparing a diesel to a gasoline powered? No doubt the TDCi will churn out more mileage compare to any gasoline powered out there in the same cc range. Good daily driving torque with excellent fuel consumption. Even driven in a sprinted style will still churn out better FC than a gasoline engine.

4. will it be good for daily city driving and as family car?
Of course. Diesel engine are perfect for daily driving = good FC. With that amount of torque, you wont be fetching all of your family members in a car that struggle to move.

Come on guys, comparing a TDCi to a VIOS is so

Want better driving experience? Get a 320d. Recently TT with a bunch of diesel head from BMWCM, i was amazed by the power in stock terms.

Ever plan to try tuning chip?
Cheaper compare to remap. Fully plug & play.

Biodiesel is more "clean" in eco terms. They have poorer cleaning power, poorer lubricity properties, give less power hence higher FC. The poor cleaning power cause your engine, injectors and fuel pump to wear out faster.. I see no point going for B5 since they have the same price, unless you are serious on going green lah..

You guys can try the B5 and report back if you don't believe what i've said earlier. Try doing it the same driving style and you'll notice performance & FC difference.

Lower emission i guess.

got cranking sound when you trying to start engine? highly doubt it's the starter problem.

glow plug indicator comes and goes off? when does this occurs? cold start in morning?

are you using any tuning chip? loosen commonrail sensor connector can lead to similar problem like this. "able to crank, but the engine just wont go alive unless you've tighten back the loose connector."

i think high chance are weak battery, since diesel engine require higher amp to crank. Using maintenance battery? How long have you been with your TDCi? When was your last battery change?

everytime. but after warm up, you will notice the glow plug "indicator" disappear faster than cold start.

correct. mine doesn't even require to warm up. one crank terus up n go !

+1 because the alternator has almost fully charge the battery.

ah, he never reply my question. Or worst the immobilizer activated after a certain time frame making the car unable to start until they deactivated the immobilizer?

dont **** care. just buy and drive.. diesel for daily drive ftw.
