QUOTE(Kanasai79 @ Feb 20 2013, 10:46 PM) Silicone for RM230? If it can last more than 3 years and more efficient then still acceptable. I'm too used to silicone wiper (those RM 38 per pair) in my Toyota and when using rubber on 408 especially at night + glaring... really difficult to drive. Let me check with Puchong SC this Saturday on the price  Yeap our viper are silicon as I been told. And my cousin 308 got her changed last few week ago cost like 180 one side! But ori. Salesman told me there are some compatible silicon outside already half the price, just need to find where. Anyone change before? Pls share

Hi since 408t is an updated version of the prince engine, is it more fuel efficient as compared to 308t 6 speed?

Just curious. I remember quite a while ago owners were saying that gear changes constantly at 2600rpm. Is it still the same now after months of ownership, or has the gearbox adapted to your driving style ie gear change dynamically

it is supposed to be adaptive
if you're heavy footed it will delay gear changes
otherwise it will change faster if you're light footed
