2nd hand car dealer will only look at car manufacture year & the Odo meter, regardless the registration year.

All about give & take, but I rather take the 7k discount & worry later for the resales value. Seen not plan to sales in 5-7 years. I believe 10 & 11years cars doesnt make a big different, but 7k discount is quite alot. blink.gif

cancelling previous insurance is easy, but it would take 3 days to settle (im using ambank, maybe other insurance company is faster). so after 3 days can get refund 55%. i can wait for that if i dont want to pay full insurance payment. but i consider the SA side, he want that car to register by this month, i.e. tomorrow so that he can meet the target sale. that's why he is willing to give 9k discount. and he is very friendly, this morning take me to the ambank to settle the insurance, and later bring me to cimb and maybank to draw cash for full downpayment. he helps me a lot, and so far he is sincere with me not like other SA i met before, love to tell lies. i ask him about bodykit, yesterday evening he go to survey around and even took some photo for me to see. and tomorrow when to collect that car, he is willing to fetch me here in kulim from BM. i would recommend this SA to anyone buying toyota in northern region.

Good for you to meet such SA.

Most of us rarely meet, especially those SA in big Showroom... so lansi

I think they got excited when saw us (PC) on the road and want to catch up to have a good look at it. Same time want to compare their car with our PC power. Those who can't over take me must be really piss off. By using the ScanGauge ii display to assist and understanding the way I driving is real fun. As long as I dun hit over 3000 RPM should be good on my FC(I think it should be same like other cars and same time comparing with our ECO Display)...anyway I am still testing it. If I found anything to improve the FC, I'll share it here with you.  icon_rolleyes.gif

Watching the three RPM changing is fun (engine, MG1 & MG2). tongue.gif  Actually I got another gadget...the OBD ii bluetooth & USB. Haven't try those yet. The Android apps gauge look pretty cool too. But I really dun wan to use my SGS2 while driving. Maybe get a cheap china made tab...hahaha....they show nice gauges on screen.....for now ScanGauge ii is good to go.  thumbup.gif

More driving today...will continue my hunting(wishing list) today at Pasar RD, Puchong & Serdang. I saw the Big Brother shop at opposite IOI mall.  Anyone try this shop for our PC accessories there?? It look huge comparing to other accessories shops. But who know, they might have nothing for our PC....

OK taking off now....Breakfast first most important meal of the day!!!! biggrin.gif

Any picture for your ScanGauge ii display?

Really wonder how it look & works.

Bro, I only share my thought here, same as 3.5 years ago I did the same to proton exora at autoworld forum, if I notice a problem I will share with all and same goes with the good stuffs (I am the guys who shouted around in the forum for turbo kit at that time...hahaha and finally they came out. My friend bought it, I tested it so so..better than mine but no comments)......  blush.gif

I wouldn't mind if Toyota take me as their part-time Ambassador.....hahaha... tongue.gif as long as Toyota provide me good pay and free service for my PC including parts for 5 years. biggrin.gif

Don't you agree the PC is a nice car to drive? In fact, today there was 1 Honda insight with me in line at the traffic light stop up hill. So I thought why not let see who can pick up faster. Once it green, as usual step a bit on the pedal and when meter show 45km. I look at my rear mirror, it was 4 car space behind me (working very hard up the hill). brows.gif  I think HCH should be better then HIH, but I still see quite a lots of it on the road recently(maybe the price and the size of the car). Any thought?? hmm.gif
*
HCH should be much better due to 1.5L engine.

Last time I was climbing hill at Karak Highway, HJH sudden appeared behind of me & I just let it pass (not intend to rev so to save fuel). Realise HJH not bad either in climbing hill, guess sometime is whether you intend to floor the pedal.

I test drive HJH before, it have better feel of acceleration compare to PC. All because PC pedal are much less sensitive & the eCVT not design for acceleration, but when you floor the pedal then you will know whats call acceleration.... thumbup.gif

Guys , plan to get a PC , what is the current best offer for Pc year end car ? My Sa offer 7k . For those who own PC , do you having difficulty to overtake Car on highway ? How's the power for range from 80 -120km ? Does it take long time to climb to reach that speed ? Understand it is hybrid , just hope it wont be worst than my current drive myvi 1.3 auto. I've test drive the PC , but only in those residential road. NO chance test it on highway . Appreciate for you guys feedback.

QUOTE(wankf @ Dec 6 2012, 10:22 PM)
Dun worry, bro. It can overtake your Myvi any time but normally PC driver will never do so even they can(most but not all). Coz they want good FC, not like me drive crazy (just joking)...still maintain below 100kmh before the 1k service. I can reach 97kmh in NPE short distance and overtake many cars... tongue.gif Actually I just want to watch the MG1 RPM, Engine RPM and MG2 RPM reading when they change over for 0~97kmh ...pretty cool. icon_rolleyes.gif

QUOTE(deeplydeluded @ Dec 6 2012, 10:36 PM)
There is no difficulty in overtaking cars, be it on a highway or normal road. And you do not feel speeding at 120 kmph, except wind noise is obvious (but acceptable) because background engine noise is low relatively compared to petrol cars @ 120 kmph. Hybrid does not mean compromised performance. Acceleration is smooth and good, even when you accelerate from cruising speed of 100 kmph onwards. Myvi 1.3 or even 1.5 no fight, can even hear those myvis engine working very hard to keep the pace at high speed.
*
+1

The only problem when you try to accelerate is you will see your FC decreasing.

Do you guys ever try accelerate in highway from 100 to 170km/h? (Was bored driving, so just for fun try over take other cars & test the performance) It just take less then 10sec to reach 170km/h, & I notice the battery bar from 80% drop to 50%, never see the battery level will drop while using engine(only charging). Seem the motor really assist when we attempt hard acceleration.

On highway it will always on full charge ( at least 6 bar ) unless got traffic jam or driving below 60  . From priuschat n SC advisor not recommend to always drive in ev ( below 60) good for FC but bad for battery bcos keep discharging n charging . Bcos on hybrid car the battery n motor is to assist not moving the car unless it is ev car on Chevy volt

I think that really is arguable. Certainly, Hybrid battery will keep discharge & recharge all the while we driving it, thus most of the time we can't fully control what mode we are using.

But I assure, if we always attempt to use the battery till the last bar, it may shorten the lifespan of Hybrid battery.

Anyway, most of time is inevitable & we can't control the battery usage. As Toyota assure the battery may last at least 8-10 years, so just drive it normal & let the system to maintain the Hybrid battery. Forget about the battery issue tongue.gif

did a crazy thing today with my pc, i drove it until no petrol!

985KM full tank! i think should be able to achive above 1000km, with this tank of petrol, that's few days i stucked in traffic jam for total 5 hours due to smart tunel closure, and some days i did not drive in a econimic ways. so next time i will try 1k.

when pc out of petrol, the battery will still work, until the battery left 2 bars, your car will show "power on" means the car in accessories mode. that moment when i pressed the pedal but the car no longer got power, it only can drive slow with the battery support. lucky the petrol station just 500meter away from my stop  points. i switch on my emergency light, and i notice i cannot lock my car.... it need me to total switch off the car in order to lock it. for safety reason, i have to let the car unlock and walk to the petrol station.

i remember someone said need to fill in at least 4 litre in order for the car to start, but i only fill in less than 1.5 liters, my car back alive.

from my testing, from the car start last petrol bar warning beep until the car stop, i drove 12xkm. so guys, take note ya... i can said im lucky for this crazy work....
*
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience, next time we will know we only can drove another 120km before the fuel totally run out.

Its good that Hybrid battery still can use as back up to drive for some distance. rclxms.gif

hard to explain the way to achive high fc, i did not really drive slow like turtle, when go up hill, i still press harder on the pedal, but go down hill have to full release the pedal and light food. that's many driving attitude i applied during drive. hard to write it here.

my last fc before this time is 901km/l, but the meter show 27.8 which is wrong..
*
Impress of your FC, most I can achieve per tank is 23-24km/L

But need a lot of patient to achieve it, average speed must be 60-70km/h. When I drive long distance at 100-110km/h FC will fall till 20-21km/L.

Anyone know how much cost for paint touch up for 'jumble' scratch around 5cm(some a bit deep...) ? fcuk that motorcycle scratch and run

You mean to get a DIY touch up paint? or send for paint shop to touch up?

Normally repaint one part will cost RM150-200. Repaint always depends on quality of workmanship, so always ask for warranty so that they will paint carefully to last longer.

If I were you, I would just leave it. There is no guarantee that it will not reoccur (sorry to say this but this is a fact). Last time, my proton wira got scratched (with the metal exposed) badly not long after I bought it. I used it for 11 years without repainting it. No rust issue.

Just leave it first & save the money. After 2-3 yrs when more dents & scratches. Then one off repaint the whole car.

Only display car won't have dents & scratches, once on the road anything can happen.

I just finish my first service.. i notice the FC drop and the engine noise louder..

Did anybody got this same issue?

Btw, if we ask theme to change all the fluid for the next service.. is the labor still free?

This is normal, happen to me as well.

After a while, probably 500km, FC & engine will back to normal.

2nd service will much cheaper, around RM70-80

how come i cant huper mile like u guys do ><...

my average trip fc = 22-27 km/L

normal drive, not really bothering the eco score bar, but control my heavy foot well :/
*
22-27 km/L is consider good.

30+ km/L is due to specific traffic and road condition. Very smooth traffic and most are flat road & slope. Eg. I can achieve 30+km/L to work, but back home is around 25-26km/L only. But overall my FC is just 23-24km/L
