my extra - crystal no plate, full tank, tinted, and car carpet. thats about it. U?i hope u get better than me. 

Anyone encountered any issues with the auto idling system? 3 days ago I was driving down to jb from kl.. Suddenly the auto idling light on dash board started blinking non stop. After stopping to check for a few times, the auto idling indicator stopped completely.. No more lite up.. Even after turning the auto idling off to on or off.. The S-hybrid does not work anymore.. But after 3 days.. It sometimes turns on by itself.. But off later on.. Now at service center checking..

I want ask all the owner here, when do you do your first service? 1st 1000km or 1 month? I ask the salesmen, he ask me to reach till 1000km only do first service, but now my car only 700km nia but already pass 1 st month.
should i do it now or later?

Another thing is, I can smell smoke coming into my car once a while and every time I go through bump, my rear seat have sound, yeck yeck sound. Anyone has the same problems?

Hi.. just buy a new serena.. received it today. Take a black colour ..

still waiting the news from SA for my serena. 

booking placed since mid of Aug through a dealer rather than TC.

Anybody know why this car road tax cost RM458, my innova with the same capacity also cost RM379. Hybrid car not suppose to be cheaper ?
anybody know the resaon ?

Here the mods

No point arguing.
This thread is for already owners of the Serena to discuss about the car.
We owners know what this car is all about. No need for non owners to tell us which and which is more worth it.
If Biante is Great....open a new thread and discuss about that. Period.

Hehe... i am also one of the happy owners too.

yet to test drive Biante but so far really happy with the Serena. Personal point of view, from the spec sheet, Serena lose in term of no control knob for music volumn and channel control, slightly wider tyre size(205 vs 195), no front sensor,

On the other hand, Serena win in terms of versatility of 2nd and 3rd row seats (biggest advantage, for me lah), electronic control rear air-cond, cruise control, real push-start button,

Look is subjective but I prefer the tall boxy Serena look and overall package.

Hi, all serena bro....

i had tried it at highway with speed 140km/hr. average fc is about 11km/l using eco mode.
fc,engine sound and rpm is better than innova. rpm just 2500 versus4000 rpm for innova.
The best fc is driving at 90km/l. The higher the speed we go on, the less of fc we can get.

Would like to hear more about other bro driving in highway experiance.

I wonder what will Serena's price be once hybrid incentive ends.

Had a long test drive with the Serena, with a 3 adults, it seems struggle to go up hill. Can owners confirm ?

I drove with ECO off. It struggles for torque.

Bro got any uphill experience such as Genting or Cameron?
Quite concerned about the power and also body roll on curvy road.

Would changing to wider tyres help? Stock is running on 195 rite?

i am considering of getting a serena due to the uncertainty of the next year tax excemption and the RM 8000 accessories offered. is it a good choice to buy now? i believe the newer facelifted serena will be here next year.

(switching accord to serena because of the serena space and accord waiting period is too long)

For that price range not such thing like 4AT speed gear to happen lah.
Did you see any sylphy comes with 4AT? or TEANA getting 4AT ?

Uanble to deny that some parts will be locally supplied such as seats, shock asorber  and air cond compressor. But as core technology of S-Hybrid, engine and gearbox are not able/ready to manufacture locally yet.

I own a grand livina, mostly locally manufacture , but i dont see much problem with the car except the low resale value.

The latest Jatco CVT 8 which so much optimised for high fuel efficiency does have plenty of premature failure in US for Altima  end Pathfinder. The same technology was used in the SERENA too.
Worried about the reliabilty. Check here and u will see both cars using the same CVT8 gb http://www.jatco.co.jp/ENGLISH/products/cvt/cvt8.html
The issue is now burning hot in US untill the Jatco vice President, Tomoyoshi Sato was removed from his post immediately...

last minute research... I am glad I found this site... anyway, I've placed a RM1k booking (refundable, according to TC salesman)... test drive the car and I like the driving experience... but now I am just having second thoughts.... 1. next year we will be at 2014, and I've read in the previous post that the facelift model is coming with better technology? but then will the price be the same?...  2. The special interest rate of 2.41 (5 years) and 2.48 (7 years), is this the lowest in the market now? The rate is from CIMB and recommended by the Salesman...anyone has information on other banks?

I don't know guys... maybe I just need somemore information to make a decision that I don't regret later... it's just something about wanting to make sure $$$ is well spent. Btw, I saw the Almera with nismo package in the showroom, quite a nice looking car (after modified).

and p/s merry christmas and happy new year to all...
