Managed to test drive Preve @ glenmarie. i felt i am making a right decision to ditch my City. It was a short route probably due to a lot of people waiting for test drive. I enjoy driving in S mode. Managed to come in with high speed at round about and traction control doing his job perfectly. Thumb up for Protonians..

Anyway, the bank call me jst now.. its kindda noisy in ofis.. but if i not mistaken he quote me 2.84% interest.. much better then my expect 2.9-3%

hopefully im not listen wrong... later is 3.84%

shoule be right. getting the same rate from maybank.

Thats what you call real highway cruising

The RPM actually will only max out around 5~5.5k rpm even in manual mode.

Anyway, just test drove the car. heres my review and a few things most of you might miss when checking the car

Rear child door lock have to use key(or screwdriver) to turn instead of the usual slide button. Not that i ever use it, but those that might will have to take note


rear speakers damn cute if compared to my waja's speakers but its made by Blaupunkt


Front interior lights using the same set from the Waja until now


lastly, some were wondering how the hell is the passenger airbag gonna deploy since theres no visible 'square' or airbag deployment cover or anything that resembles that. If you look closely, you can see the airbag hole is actually pre-cut. You'd have to really pay attention to notice it. Nice, very subtle indeed.


and some internal salesman card wondering why they didn't compare the Premium spec though


Finally, my test drive review. SA don't let me go highway but managed to test mixed housing area and main road with some hard corners.

I asked the SA how do i open the door if the remote malfunctioned since the handle have no visible keyhole, he said the keyhole is actually hidden behind the cover with the key logo and you'd have to remove it. Subtle. After entering the car, inserting(prefer to call it plugging in though ) lights up the display and pressing the push-start button once starts up the car. You don't have to hold the button to crank the engine, but the engine will crank itself once you press the button. First time playing with push start button so it may not be new to others but its definitely new to me

Brakes are good. very good in fact. Better than my Waja stock braking system and more bite eventhough i'm using RS brake pads. tested at housing area first with max acceleration and hard braking. even on yellow lines the brakes performed nicely eventhough can hear the tires starting to skid. Went to the long stretch of road between SS14 and SS18 and managed to hit 140 before slowing down due to the traffic light up front and took the left corner around 70~80 hard enough to activate the ESC. Can see the ESC light blinking while i was cornering Overall the car feels very undramatic and controlled eventhough i was cornering hard. Acceleration can't really feel much but once you look at the speedo suddenly it reads 100 S mode also not much feel. dissapointed with the pedal shifters though. not much feel when changing 'gears' and it will automatically change for me before i hit my desired RPM. too used to manual i guess

overall it was a nice test drive session. managed to test hard cornering and braking and was not dissapointed. Can't imagine how it'll handle if the tires were changed to Michelin PS3 instead SA said he was scared when i was driving
