3. Check for scratches on car, paint cond.
4. Check for spots, smear, wear/tear on interior fabric.

Can share wat petrol u all prefer?

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....

Thanks for the heads up brother! Appreciate it . Will do. Will post up a pic of my ride after getting the rims & all done up!

Just arrive home from Melaka. It was my 1st long drive with Almera, and i could say the FC and comfort is GREAT!! No sakit belakang like i drive my brader Myvi SE. FC only 3bar (dun ask me how many liters. i dunno) Melaka - KL and average speed 130kmh. only slowdown at Bangi AES spot SHAIT JPJ bot.

Added to this I also have drive to Genting and my take is Almera was not built for climbing. Even Viva is faster than me. I have to ram the engine 4 to 5k rpm just to get the power to climb. Its only my wife and me inside, nothing in the bonet and the car age was 2 weeks that time.

Drive for 2 weeks. Reach 1k mileage.
FC:
Highway avg 17.8 km/l
City avg 12 km/l
Hill avg 7km/l @80km/h

Since this is new car run < 1k mileage, the FC is a bit high. This applies to all type of cars. FC should improve after 10k. But the FC when running on hilly road / slope is remarkably high.

Detail calculation for your fc.. Obviously, the fc for city and highway drive are standard.. But the fc for hilly road is slight higher

not sure about check list , but check list of must buy stuff , definitely include this

Speed lock , so once car reach a certain speed, it will lock it self

Just plug into OBD

May I know what's the function of the speed lock? sorry ya, abit noob when it come to this...

did you turn off the OD when climbing?

Just sent my car into kilang today to paint the flaked off area, also highlighted the high FC to the SA.

I am getting an average of 9.2k per lit, only drive in city. Pretty sure its not that high right?

it should be not that high in city.
mine got 15km-18km per lit.
driving style = normal familly man style.

Yah full rank only 360km.
SA say they will cucuk the car to find out. My max speed is 80km/h only.Very mild driving style

weird..
when at 80kmh what is your rpm?
