During end of the year 2011, I allocated RM80-90k to buy a new car, but in the end I bought a FLX SE. During the 11 months of ownership never once had I wish I had bought a dugong even when I can afford it.

End of 2012, I allocated same amount for a new car again, and again I never even considered a dugong.

Don't butthurt with your RM50k car. At least you didn't pay RM25k extra for a sh!t car.

Try compare a dugong and Saga ride feel, observe Dugong behavior over bumps, and release Saga tyre pressure until you get the same feeling as Dugong when go over bumps, i can ensure you will get the NVH same as Dugong NVH.

Due to softer sidewall, my last CC5 tyre during cold i pump 220kpa front and back 200kpa also fine.
Now XM2 come with harder sidewall, hot i pump 210kpa front 190kpa back. If pump like CC5 the ride will bumpy like hell.

BTW, cold and hot pressure difference can up to 20kpa or 2psi.

Not to found fault with you but I have to disagree that Dugong quality is better maybe a bit tad better only. I used to work for Toyota Service Center and KIA also.

Quality of the Toyota cars to me has decrease a lot it's really so so only. I have owners complaining to me windscreen rattling noise from a 1 week old Vios, Power steering hose came loose before even 1st service (whole PS fluid leak dry), rear absorber not properly tighten Avanza lucky owner came in early when he complain got large sound from rear when going over uneven roads. Rear brake jam on a new car...etc...I've even open up a 2 weeks old Camry whole dashboard assembly because the AC system got sound inside the blower. That's why I've move away from Toyota ever since my neighbour before he change to a Vios I told him you better think again. But he still went for the Vios Dugong....he got the car then less than 1 month I saw him checking and move in and out of his Vios he told me the rear got sound send to service center also cannot rectify. Then another time he complain again front got sound.

Also the way the SC staff rectify problem is also sometimes not very professional. I won't spill out the details here because after kena sue then I die loh....what I see I see...up to personal choice to buy any brand of car.

To me I see that Proton has improved although it might still be under our expectation. Perodua on the other hand I also owned a MyVi before. Quality also have problems, I changed my steering rack twice in 1 year. Front headlights started to have crack line after 1 year. Head Unit rosak 3 times.

I've also seen a lady complains so furiously to the SA about her CT200h QC when I was in the service center when I send my Lexus there for service.

So any car also have QC problems not just the cheap cars...even expensive cars also have one. Even R35 have problems, MFD sot sot when the mileage was only 25k. Need to fork out a hefty sump to change it.

chew it. 

Actually, the principle for testing hardness is quite similar like that except they dun use the human teeth to make the markings. 

eventually u can use a big nail and try to nail ur tyres. if can go in easily then it is soft..vice versa.

BRAVO bro....BRAVO
