Got our baby Prius today. Picked it up in the afternoon at PJ S19 but did not have the time to look for Ahmad Asbar for the auto lock. Got the DVD AVN option, at first was wondering why the radio reception is so bad, apparently my SA did not attach the antenna to the car. Luckily it was in the glove box.

I noticed the a/c compressor is loud when the engine is not running. Is this normal? Sounds like a water pump is running under the bonnet.

Congrate..

Wow.. my WWW not even 1 month, now already WXA

KL car plate really flying... rclxub.gif

Yes, you will notice the air con compressor sound during in EV mode. But I don't think you will notice if you are in the car.

It's SEG 1.6 AE101(Auto).Never modified.Guess this yr should be 18th years and performance still Good.PC so far so so,but 1 thing i like is at 110km/hr,engine rpm at 2.2k/rad.Smooth & powerful.
Still considering whether worth to let go old SEG and get new Prius C.Else,guess will overhaul the engine after 410,000km and modify abit,guess the performance will be better.

I guess PC won't fit you. Probably Toyota 86 or GTI will satisfy your power hunger.

PC is main to be fuel economy car so you won't really feel the power & the G-Force when acceleration.

Most of us change our driving style just to save fuel & get more mileage per litter.

i book last month, next week can get car already. red color.
book from a dealer in johor.

no need to wait for so long as other claimed.

and also, if you are not picky about color, some color you can get it immediately.

Also this car is not for those that can't afford battery.

a lot of friends ask me, battery problem la, battery cost la...battery rosak how la...

my standard reply (not to be lansi)- if you gotta ask about how much battery cost, this car is not for you...TQ

few thousand more than vios, you get hell a lot of technology what you expect la...

Same as our laptop, if you think about the battery, upgrade problem, high repair cost & etc. The please use the cheaper desktop, laptop is not for you.

Too bad,guess i cannot stay at this forum anymore bcos i have decided not to buy prius c.rather spend $$$ which going to be the month installment to upgrade & Recon my SEG.Guess more worth it n i believe it'll more fun to drive after overhaul n upgraded.. N most important is keep my wallet plenty $$ to spend. brows.gif currently my SEG FC just RM50 last for 250-280km(aggressive driving style).Guess i can't complaint too much biggrin.gif
*
Your SEG FC not too bad. Even my friend Civil FC is around RM0.18/km which mean about 280km for RM50 petrol.

Just fly with you beloved SEG for another few years. Maybe till it all rusted & the car can't be repair only change another powerful car as your SEG.

Don't go to those big showroom. They have lot of booking & long waiting list before your turn.

Just done my car carpet, cost only RM80. icon_rolleyes.gif

I also ask the OEM DVD set with GPS & Reverse Camera cost about RM2k, compatible with the Steering control (dunno how true). Much much cheaper then Toyota Set sweat.gif

The shop is in Cheras near my house. Yes they take our original carpet & cut it. You can request how you wanna cut it. Normally they will cut larger then the original.

Will snap few photo & upload afterward.

Try check out the most popular imported car in Malaysia.

Seem PC not as good as Jazz Hybrid, probably due to bad supply chain in Toyota. So many people still waiting for their PC compare to Jazz Hybrid.

I also heard SA said this batch was 3000unit. But the statistic show the other way

Wonder the 3000unit is combination of other models or solely PC.

Anyone experience loud engine sound especially when you try to climb hill & rev the engine.

I still haven't done the 1st service, will it really help after it?

Another experiment today to share. Traveled back from Melaka to PJ today using the cruise control set at 95km/hr. However, I had to discontinue using CC for the last 20-30km due to the traffic congestion.
*
I feel the cruise control will be bad for FC. Cause it need to rev the engine in order to maintain the speed you set.

Cause the highway along KL to Melaka have lot of hills. I feel it will be better we juggle the pedal ourselves by the ECO or 5min consumption screen.

Anyway you really have good FC compare my average is 22-24km/l.

As on now, be it Sec 19 or other SC, UMW has refused to activate the autolock for subsequent Prius C owners after receiving numerous complaints. So to cut the story short, get the 'autolock plug-in module' from http://www.lelong.com.my/Auc/List/DetailSa...20&When=2012-08 for less than RM200 to rest the case. Btw, I'm not the seller.
*
I just know from my SA. Toyota priority to customer, they will kena warning letter if customer complain badly. Good for us as customer & getting a nice car.

So tips, if you don't like their service, please complain thru their manager or customer service. They will kena badly.

I guess the autolock stuff is impossible to activate by SC, since they make it clearly. All due to safety regulation that in case emergency or accident, the door is lock & unable to escape. Even Ford Fiesta make the door can just open from inside even they had locked it. All these are just safety measurement.

TQ,... i ll try to post picture on the Updateing the map GPS

-The GPS i dddnt notice any speed indicator..
- Not using it much at the moement just only 3 day with the car LOL
Can I SPEED UP the car moe than 100Km/h
- Do i need to wait til my odometer turn to 1000Km(First Service)
how long?km ? i need too wait till i can speed up the car too max...( i know it sound nonsense)
But as far as i know the 1.5 come from same vios engine rite

*
I rev my PC till 150km/h after 1 week received it. Some said you must break in your engine by keep reeving your car till 4-6rpm. I did tat for my Saga BLM.

Don't worry too much, heard SA said PC engine is same as previous Prius 1.5 model, mean it is a continental engine. Build for lasting & durable.

Not really the exact model as Vios.

Now I'm at SC, 1st 1000km service.

do anyone ever charge the battery to full bar? the most i get is 1 bar below the full

I believe only Beck Ken did it.

Our PC always maintain between 20-80% of battery charge. This is to protect the battery & allow it have longer life span, that is why it can last 8-10 years & few hundred thousand of KMs.

Will get my white PC this week or next week, will send it to sierraglow for paint coating. My brother know ppl doing bodykits, once the trd bodykits available with affortable price, i will share again.


Added on July 11, 2012, 11:01 pmFor those plan to wax their car, can consider sierraglow. No need to wax or polish for the next 5 yrs.

How much is sierraglow coating?

Anyway I believe is doesn't prevent scratches & stone scratches. If cost few hundred, then I rather save the money for future paint touch up. Driving in city & highway sure will have some wear & tear.

So sad my PC already have a deep scratches due to hit by stone in highway. cry.gif

I thought that I'm the first one who got hit by a stone on highway. Planning to get the rear door repainted soon coz I afraid that it will get rusted.

UMW qouted RM550 for the job, quite high but I'm afraid that there will be colour unmatch if painting is done esle where.

I went up to Genting, well the power & handling is there. The battery going max when going down hill.
Try B, slow down the car without having you to depress the break hardly; the rev sound u can heard as normal
car.

PC is good car, for those love enviroment, lower carbon, save oil, u might need to pay for the battery, and i prefer to save now rather than in future; that's why I choose this car smile.gif


Added on July 12, 2012, 8:18 am

the colour will not 100% same, although is same code of colour; because the older paint already expose the the sun, tear & wear.
*
+1, sometime people rather pay for the premier price for piece of mind & worry.

Once our car out from the showroom, it will expose to dents, scratches & etc. Sure no more 100% for the exterior.

BTW the purpose of paint is to protect the car from rusting, rain & sun expose.

After few years sure will have dent, scratches & not so shining anymore. Rather just have regular maintain & save the money for repaint in future. (Of cause find those with good quality paint work shop)

They just passion about sporty acceleration, speed & power. FC & technology is second. The reason they bought CRZ because they really passion about sport car & driving. But Prius C is main to in superb FC, technology & safety. Which is abit boring compare to CRZ & Jazz.

Don't create page. Create group pls. Page has limitation for member and also it is prone to spam by dealers

I dunno when to use ev mode. Till now found no suitable timing for ev. Feels like it is useless.
Eco and ev mode both are unused to me  shakehead.gif

And lemon. I use salamander 5mm tint with 90% irr. Cost me 1300. Good enough. Even 36 degree also don't feel hot. So I don't think need very branded one. Maybe cos of original glass already got uv protection thus the coolness is good if compare to my civic. Faint rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif damn hot

EV is very useful when u drive in car park or housing area. No engine sound & no carbon emission. Of coz ensure you don't over accelerate & your battery is full.

You can observe the different by using the ECO screen which good in showing how much you press on the pedal.

Enjoy the car thumbup.gif
