Hi all,

Just to my preve ifam auto exec solid white.

Today's the 5th day driving mileage just reach 112km, pump a full tank, notice when braking, doesn't matter fast speed or at 60km/hr there's this duk duk sound! What's wrong?? Then the engine feels really sluggish, unresponsive like not moving, have to press the pedal deep to get response and the engine will whine and roar then the car will jerk a little then move.

Engine noise pretty loud n harsh. Izzit supposed to be like that??

Then the 3rd thing I realized is the fuel indicated, showing 13.8L/100km!! WTF?? I pumped full petrol when left 1 bar costs RM72 n then I changed the indicator to show the mileage. At first it shows 591km then when start moving, stop by few traffic lights, look at the indicator again and it kept on decreasing until almost 510km left! Is this normal?? Someone help!!

Yah, I test drive on highway the FC reduced by big margin, the brakes gentle braking ok, only if drive fast n brake got helicopter sound. Called up the sale guy he said its new brake so duk duk is normal? Bu doesn't happen on my myvi thou, car already latest map according to him so no need to update.

I'll continue to monitor but so far it's good, as compared to my myvi 1.5 se the myvi has an edge on acceleration 0-40 cos car lighter, the Toyota engine also more responsive . But preve handling, cornering n ride stability n comfort is way ahead. On bad road myvi very noisy over bumps n potholes but preve handles it brilliantly, same road i took everyday preve no sound! Only downside is properly the campro engine, maybe after 1k service better? Lets find out.
