Rattling (front) and squeaking (back) sounds, yes. Sent for repair in July and posted in this forum.
Smell, yes, mine is a kind of sour smell, like those silicone glues. Forgot to complain. Normally I wind down the window and turn on the fan before using the air cond.
Currently, I still have some noise, seems to be from the glove box. When I open the glove box, the. noise disappears but the vibration noise of the glove box latch appears
*
I inserted a thick close between the gap of the glove box yesterday. The vibration noise seemed to have gone. You may want to try this......

whoa,,9k discount..Next time if want buy car better buy at the end of the year.. so many discount  hmm.gif

Actually car price drops every year. When we sell the car, the price will be about the same, regardless of buying in Jan or Dec. I have used my car for 7 months now. If the depreciation is 10% for the first year, this translates into 4~5k already. The discount is to compensate for this loss in value. We can't really say it is a gain. By jan 2013, their car's value (bought in Nov/Dec) will be the same as mine (April), if we were to trade in. My personal opinion

I m a bit curious about the Odometer, the meter only runs when the petrol engine runs is it? if not y got ppl say is not accurate compare to trip meter....

Can anyone enlighten me......
*
No, it runs when the car moves, be it powered by petrol engine or electrical motor. Or else, Nissan Leaf, which has no petrol engine would have zero mileage all the time?

I did 80km/h with cruise control, managed to get 23km/l only today with some jam. How do you make it?

I realize at night, there is no way I can reach above 24km/l with headlights on. No matter how slow or how long I pick up in EV. Is my problem or my battery problem?
*
I noticed that when using cruise control, the FC rate will only gradually increase over a long distance, above 70km. For anything below, e.g 30 to 40km, the rate is normally poor. Not too sure why.

Doing my 1st service at CherasToyota , they charge me rm 120 is this price normal?

See 'maintenance' on page 1, the official price published by UMW is RM109.8. Anything more than this you should complain, unless you requested something special

For those who really like and want to buy Honda Jazz but a bit worried about no spare tyre issue, I suggest that you buy a tyre and a rim and store them in the boot. A simple solution

I managed to cancel booking with my current SA and the re-booking with the one from BM that offer 9k discount, but need to register on nov. Silver color ready stock, and loan already approved. I sign the agreement this afternoon and tomoro going to make full downpayment and the car can be registered latest by friday. The only concern now is insurance ncd. I didnt cancel the previous insurance so cant forward that ncd yet. So i have to pay full amount of insurance and later can get refund 55% when the previous insurance is cancelled. Hopefully everything will go smoothly.

Anyone ever heard of crystalline coating? Been quoted rm1399 for that with 3 yrs warranty.
*
Why so difficult to cancel the car insurance? Just write a letter and fax to the company or visit their branch and fill in a form. This is what I did. If you bought from an agent, it is even easier. Just give him a call.

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 for sharing.

Good to know your experience

do u guys wax your PC? hmm i have a offer from my car washing shop, some kind of wax, can last for 3 months, at least. Even you use chemical to wash your car, still can last few times. cost about RM120. polish before this can get better result. product from US. what u guys think, shud i try it? heard this before?
*
If what happen it does not last for 3 months ? Do you think they will refund the money ? From my experience with the services in Malaysia, we normally do not get our money back. We just treat it as another bad experience.

hi guys, any idea when is UMW toyota getting in the prius V? Im now looking for a new 2nd car for my family. Now is driving a Myvi. Was tempted to get the prius V first then replace the myvi with 7 seater........or wait for prius V instead?~
*
Initially, I wanted to wait for the V too. However, judging from the price in US (Prius =24k PV=27k), it will be at least RM 163k (without tax), just based on the price ratio. It could cost more in actual. So, are you aready to pay for such a high price?

Mine was repaired at the Sg Buloh SC. They took 5 hrs to do the job but my car still had noise around glove box and sqeaking sound back seat. I applied some grease on to the latch and insert a cloth in the glove gap. The problems solved

ya, any photo to show us especially the latch? where is the latch?
*
The back seat latch is the place where it locks the seat. You can pull the knob and fold the back seat, see page 78 in the manual. Once the seat is folded, you will see the latch that locks the seat. Apply some grease on it. This is only 1 of the reasons for the noise at the back. Better to ask the SC to rectify since it is under warranty. I DIY only after the SC could not fix it.
I noticed the latch in the glove box also can vibrate and produces noise. Another source is the seat belt tab knocking the side wall, when the unused belt is twisted.

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.
