ah yes Vincent, thanks!  thumbup.gif

I heard some can get 8k discount from another dealer, but sound risky to me.

At least with Vincent, I know he have an outstanding track record here in Lowyat.NET. People with this kind of record tend to do the best for their customer to maintain the reputatation wub.gif

Not really, I spend about 3 months surveying before decided to go with Suprima.

Before this I stucked with either City or Vios.

Since this is my first car, better settle down with Suprima first till everthing stable then grab a next level conti car rather than City or Vios.

Hello folks, I just received my Suprima S Premium last week. Genetic Silver 2014. I've been reading this thread a lot for tips and troubleshooting and I hope to share some experience and knowledge here.

Hi there!

Congrats on your Suprima! It would be lovely if you can constantly update us with your personal, quick review.

I am excited too, waiting for the loan to be approved!

yes. im aware of that. but already save for DP. So no need pay to bank too much.

Just ask the SA. Rebate 8k + DP 7K = RM15k

9 years loan = RM753/month

but without dp 7k, RM830 per month.
*
Mine would be xxK DP from the discount + 0 additional DP, so the monthly will be about RM 835 @ 9 years.

My plan would be to save the cash that initially dedicated for DP to settle the loan earlier instead.

I'm still in the running-in period for this car but I can say that so far I am quite satisfied with its handling and on the road performance. The car is responsive and it feels stable when taking sharp turns. FC is not that bad at about 9.x L/100km for 100% city driving. Sound proofing was above expectation. During driving, noise level from the engine and transmission is low and at stops it's quiet enough for me to occassionaly wonder if the engine had died!

I had to manually update the maps on the microsd card myself and change some settings on the radio to get a clear reception/sound. No other major mechanical issue like unresponsive boot unlock or wobbly brakes. But there is a slight hissing/sizzling sound coming from the engine when it's off which I am still trying to pinpoint and figure out whether that's a problem or not. (it's definitely not coolant leaking).
*
Happy to know another owner have no problem with their Suprima!

9.x - 10L/100KM is somehow average and acceptable for Suprima S based on my reading. However some of the owner saying that the FC will be better after some time of the usage.

Kindly update us from time to time if there is any development regarding your Suprima. I am eager to wait the loan to be approved and received the car from Vincent here!

Its relatively easy to find an SA that can offer good price.

But the (almost) impossible is to find a SA that can offer a good price + clear transparency and plain honest.


You won't regret dealing with Vincent. His reputation here really on par with his service.

oh ya. that also a nice way to use the extra money. since lower loan, higher interest rate. are you done with the calculation yet?

RM 835 @ 9 years @ RHB @ 2.8% p.a

My aim is to settle the whole payment within 3-4 years to I can allocate most of the $$$ to real estate etc.

Fortunate to have both cars.

Cerato has better interior fit and finish then Suprima. Cerato is for people who like to travel in comfort and win for rear passengers. FC town driving better than Suprima. Outstation about the same. I believe Cerato now comes with 7" screen. Mine still the 4.3". Also the Cerato I bought comes with 3 year free service/oil thingy. SS only now have. My SS does not have that free 3 year service.

Suprima is for people who want to get there fast. Rear passengers will suffer  laugh.gif The 1.8l Cerato is hopeless between 80km-120 km on B-roads (non-highway roads). Hopeless because the max torque at about 5k RPM. There is no way to overtake quickly in the Cerato. You need a huge distance to overtake cause you need to rev the engine to get to 5k RPM. Then when you do get that 5K RPM, your overtaking chances are gone. To make matters worse, the EPS is dull. No road feel. I wasted 30 mins total driving time unable to overtake which is annoying. Arriving 10 mins late (reported by waze is annoying especially since I claw back 30mins with same route using the SS). The turbo in SS is intoxicating. Even better since it comes at 2k RPM and stays there until 4k RPM before dropping a little. Max torque gives you lots of overtaking opportunities with lots of power to spare.

Which am I more satisfied with:
Daily commute-including jams: Cerato or SS. Makes little difference. Rear passengers will prefer Cerato
Outstation driving: SS

Which one more beautiful: SS>Cerato. Particularly rims. The Cerato front end tries to hard at imitating BMWs.
Rear end Cerato is better.

Interior HU: Cerato better. Actually Cerato has different layer bits, but the bits which you touch are the soft touch bits. SS has a good soft touch dashboard, but no use since my hand is not going to touch all the way to the screen. Cerato has better soft touch management. Though one part I hate about the Cerato is the steering wheel. Too big, too hard and the stitching at the lower left and right corners hurts my hands if I grasp tightly especially during cruising.  SS steering is miles better.

Coldest AC: SS is way cooler than Cerato. Cerato is better at temp management. SS seems to think the entire car needs to be the level you set before slowing down the AC. Cold AC is fine with me.

Aside from that I believe Cerato is better than Suprima. It is worth the price difference. Just don't buy it if you like to drive. If you stay at highway place all the time town driving, then it is a good choice. However, since the SS is RM20k cheaper but has slightly worse FC, I got extra 20k of fuel income to play with compared to the Cerato. I'm reserving part of that 20k to upgrade better HU and converting the rear end to twin exhaust...if R3 will come out a kit about it.

I think I care more about NVH and the interior premium feeling which Suprima lacks of. I think will just proceed with Cerato then.
*
Not to be biased whatsoever, but NVH will be SIGNIFICANTLY reduced by foaming the chasis. It cost less than 1.5k for the whole package & can be done within 1-3 hours without voiding the warranty or anything.

It also will provide a firmer, confidences rides too in term of handling.

May I know if you consider that as well?


NVH is something that bugging to too before decided to opt for Suprima S. But upon reading, I found the solution that I just mentioned. That just somehow seal my decision laugh.gif
