QUOTE(Gigabit @ Jul 4 2012, 04:21 PM) Or take peugeot  dont forget to consider A4 or new 3 series.. but my advise don't go for japan brand.. Malaysian taste toward Europe car d.. euro car feature n feeling is very less in japanese brand.. japanese feature n feeling is more for indonesian, thai and especially lower grade car T&H fanboy, which mean "less safety more expensive".. my preve got minor-minor problem, but i don't mind since its proton ma.. 5 year warranty, what to scared.. fucuk them kaw2..

QUOTE(kiapreve @ Jul 5 2012, 02:28 PM) almost every highway got speed trap, just not sure whether is it active or not.  try your luck if you want to play around on the road. Pay 150 definitely not worth. Bad records & image, dangerous to others road user. Why not pay RM300 and try at Sepang F1 Circuit or Batu 3 Circuit. You save others ppl life.  dear admin, if u guys read this, i suggest we do next TT at sepang litar..  speed at public highway is not ethical..  sepang litar is a good choice..

QUOTE(Izzatmi @ Jul 5 2012, 07:49 PM) All,, I just collected my car last night. CFE Black CN91XX Plate No. WXA5XXX. So far some minor issues include sluggishness, high FC, hard absorbers, blinking HU, and a very strange sound coming from the engine bay when I make wide turns..like the sound of a screw loose and rolling around. Like Vick231, I too tried using the Bluetooth pairing to call today and found that the people I was calling could not hear me properly. I will wait and compile all these issues and hope it can be fixed during my 1st service. sluggishness= u'll get use to it.. is just very tiny issue.. high fc= how high u mean? is it like 15ltr per 100km? hard absorber= better check sc, my absorber also problem n going to change it nx tuesday (front leftside) hu blinking= when is occur? when started or when idle or when driving? bluetooth pairing only for speaker phone.. microphone still using ur handphone mic.. make it easy just use normal headset.. this car is superb, but its come with minor issue.. just treat it.. u'll happy..

QUOTE(mat79 @ Jul 8 2012, 08:17 AM) dear dark adam, i dunno whether this help. Since they already change ocv, If u car stall in neutral(N) idling, ask them to monitor the voltage during idling especially when the a/c compressor kick n check idling tuning when a/c is on. If it is idling during drive(D mode n foot on footbrake), ask them to check the oil clutch pump for cvt. Hope this help. N if service the car, ask for 10w 30 oil. Maybe that can reduce the vvt sound during cold startup coz iinm, oil only retain for 24h, then it been drain. Unless the sound is prolong during startup n everytime start, will have the same sound n its longer, then its owv issue. I think prtn already recalling those who own certain engine batch that using old owv to change to new one even the owner doesnt have probs. Maybe can check with i care@ cose on those who are effected n needed to change. Sorry, cant help much. Bye dear Mat79. tks for ur concern.. my appoinment will be tomorrow at mutiara damansara pe.. what weird is, the die off issue has not occur for last 2 week.. the car seem run smoothly.. while hard jerking seem to be so less...the crank sound while starting is only happen 2 times in 1 month.. i dont know.. maybe the engine is too new n i concern too much... after i henjut 180kmj last 2 week, the engine seem become more smooth.. now i'm doubt too send my car for part changing, i scare their not solving my issue but make it more complicated.. hmmm... anyway this preve is soo good, even my toyota friend said is better..

QUOTE(G K Lai @ Jul 9 2012, 12:50 PM) I turned both to Off nowadays. For light, it switch on the light while there still very bright. For wiper, it switch to high speed like crazy while there not so heavy rain even I turn to lowest sensitive. i tested it for few days, i think i'm happy with the result.. the car ecu know when the light need to be on and off.. especially when u entering tunnel or in basement parking, while in evening i notice the auto-light seem to be on to bit early, but it not preve do wrong setting since i saw a vw jetta and a toyota estima ereas which i believe also set auto-light are also turn on the light (entering in smart tunnel same time with me arround 6.30pm).. while for auto wiper, i think it can be set.. my preve setting seem meet my requirement.. sometime i though how smart this car their designed and yet it affordable.. i'm not feeling driving a local car.. but more a decent car with smart features toward what europe manufactured offered.. just my 2cent..

QUOTE(DryCell @ Jul 9 2012, 03:04 PM) No lah bro. I did 210kmh in NSE and quite regularly do 180-190 so far no problem. Just saman only. Nothing too extreme. Theres a photo uploaded by one guy in FB this guy driving Evo or LGT im not sure, he was caught speeding at 248kmh.[SIZE=14] he should pay more extra for using that highway as speed track..
