vios vs almera?
*
Physicals/characteristics
Almera : spacious, larger leg room, larger boot storage, nice interior built quality, auto climate control (VL), intelligent key (VL), good fuel efficiency, elegant look
Slightly less pickup than vios, odd auto climate control panel design, no usb connectivity for HU, no auto fold side mirrors

Vios : average size, good pickup, good fuel consumption, it's a Toyota, been proven durability
Bad design (IMO), more pricey

Hmm... this thread is active even though TS Cumshot 'joined the dark side'. Congrats to everyone!

If you guys don't mind, I have a few questions.

1. price of VL spec plus Impul BK and rims? Price brochure in website a bit confusing. edit: (car 79813.50 + BK 3000 + rims 4000 + tyres1600=88413.50)

2. have any owners experienced problems with the auto aircond?

Memories of my nissan sunny's reliability really pulls me back to Nissan. Currently driving wira.

1. Yes. You got it right. But Nissan doing 50% off for bodykit if you order along with the car, RM 1500.

Hi. I've been reading this site for a month in silent mode b'cse my Almera not arrived yet.

Got some questions here:
According to SA, tempering with the car wiring will void the warranty. So:
1. Possible to change the Audio set (i.e with Multimedia navigation set from other source) without cutting any wire?
2. Since E Spec don even has light at the boot (outrages!!!), can we add one from the accessories shot without cutting wire ... whatever, just don void warranty?
3. Anyone got good recommendation on leather seat outside which's below RM1800?

Thanks.

Stabilizing bars, Impul/sport suspension, wider tyres, drive slower as arrowhead suggested. Haha

VL here too, plan to add front tower bar n rear anti roll bar first. If improves then won't up tyre size/change suspensions.
Have no confident in local/tw rims anymore, n jap rims r out of my budget.

WKA1116:

I sincerely advice you not to upsize the tyre. HRDE15 is built for fuel saving & thus not excel in pickup. Though on paper, 139kg-m torque come in at 4000 RPM, the pickup is still not good even compared to Myvi (I'm also driving). Upsize tyre will amplify the effect. On flat road, this's not obvious but a little slope will reveal the fact (try Lebuh Raya Bkt Jalil, on the way to TPM).

On other hand, I just found out that in Philipines, our E spec only sold for 58k (760000 ph) yet come with Intermittent variable wiper ... while we got to pay rm69800 ~ sob!
*
No choice for the price Bro, all because of our taxation structure n to maximize local manufactures' profit (I don't believe in the saying that to protect P1 P2 coz of the high production cost, as the same P1/2 selling overseas are cheaper than what v paying in local)
Almera in States running on 1.6L; thai 1.2L but with xtronic & pure drive n also all the colourful colours; india n china with auto folding side mirror & independent controlled aircond blower fan behind handbrake instead of cup holder that v get. Safety-wise 4 airbags or more. Etc etc

They cut all those so that the pricing could b competitive enough in Malaysia. Again, all because of malaysia's taxation structures. Too bad that nothing much v could do. But Almera is still worth the money among the cars & $ available here.

N I don't like the spoiler. Ducktail is fine but Impul version too long n feel like doesn't match.
Waiting for more aftermarket designs them only decide. Haha

6 day after receiving my car, saw this on the right hand side passenger door. At first i thought its sticker or some sort. But after rubbing a bit, realised that its the whole piece of paint that flaked off.

WTF?

Send to sc n make claim.

But according to a pro detailer, Nissan's paints are bit "soft", have to work it carefully. He made that comment when I was there asking for quotation.

Can share wat petrol u all prefer? rclxub.gif

according to my experience,

fuel efficiency
Caltex>Esso/Mobil=Shell>BHP>Petronas

Smoothness/performance (RON95)
Shell Racing 98 (that's for sure d, LOL)>Caltex=Shell(95)>Esso/Mobil>BHP>Petronas


besides engine-fuel matching, i think driver's habits is part of the factor too....

Hey guys. Does your car air cond fan constantly goes on and off?
*
On-off or high - low fan?

If it's VL n you set it to auto, it will adjust the fan speed to maintain in car temp that you set.

E spec. Car not moving. No adjustment to the AC were made. Can hear the tak sound of fan turning on. Then 10 sec or more. Tak again. Sometimes driving also same.

Asked SA about it but he said normal. I disagree...
*
That should b compressor kicks in n off. Normal. Same applies to all car, just whether noticeable or not.

Okay so I collected my car last Wednesday & today out of curiosity I turned my car aircon temperature (note that it's an E spec) to the maximum (red) & turn it back later on. Mana tau it's all hot air now. Suspect something inside snapped. To all Almera owners with manual aircon controls kindly Check if yours have the same problem as it is better to find out now than after warranty period! Sending it to SC tmrw for inspection. Will update you all!

did you try turn to blue?
I'm using VL, but I think red=hot Right?
Tq.

Tak sound apparently is normal :/ but the compressor on and off every 25 sec interval. That one is weird.. I sat in car and counted. Average 20 - 25 sec but fellow forumer here say is normal wor. Your car got such thing?
*
The on off internal depends on the temp you choose.
E.g. Now the avrg in car temp is 23degrees, you set the coldness to 22 degress, so compressor kicks in when it's 24/25 (just an xample) n cut off once reach desire coldness.
If you set to max cold, same things happen, but slightly longer interval maybe? Sumore E/V not temperature control, no temp sensor in cabin, so I think you'll get more frequent on-off.
