Until recently, I always thought 10k was the norm .The car shop say you should get at least 20k km. I mentioned to him, I have never obtained more than 10k km. Always botak by then. tongue.gif
I think it is because the CH-simpang pulai and the EWHW road I always use. I think I drive normal. Slow into corner, then accelerate fast (say 5-6k RPM) out of corner. That is what GT5 and F1 drivers tell you to do. Brake wherever necessary.  biggrin.gif  Always slow in, fast out. Also, inclination roads are driven about 110k km.

That was for a Honda Accord. Normal people can get from KB-KL in 3/4 tank. I need 2x full tanks. Even my previous Savvy also cannot get more than 10k km on set of tyres. Best record KB-Penang Island 4 hours flat in Savvy. Doubt I can do any faster regardless of car via EWHW.

I did manage to trigger the hazard lights on my SS under 40 km brows.gif That might be the problem there. Actually I don't drive fast like a lunatic, never more than 130km, only that I appreciate quick acceleration out of corner. You will be amaze how much time saved using the slow in-fast out method rather than attack and sudden brake at corner.

Check your tyres pressure bro.
From my limited experience....slow in fast out will save more tyres than the opposite. Unless u drift or loose traction each time u whack out of corner.. ..quick out of corner will not do as much harm. And this Suprima S has a traction control right? hmm.gif

Hi guys,

My new Suprima number CN 0016xx atlantic blue. kindly add me into owner list.

Some issue i found:

1) gluk gluk sound during braking, i read about this problem from preve forum, sending to SC when 1k service.
2) loose gear button, i not sure is it normal or not, but i gonna bring this up during 1k service.
3) do you guys find the infortainment is very bright during night time? i've tried to adjust brightness through the settings, but it will revert to original setting whenever i restart my engine which i find it annoying. is there a setting based on day and night? (like the display dails goes dimmer with headlights)
4) when i am driving, my infortainment will not switch to the "clock" it remain at radio with 50% brightness at night. (it distracting me alot as im a specti-guy) whenever i press the power button below, it goes to clock but radio stopped...
5) reverse camera blink sometimes during reversing.
6) front parking sensor sensitivity not accurate. it only beep when i am very very close to the curb.

I always check tyre pressure before doing long distance travel. SS has TC, I have managed to activate it at under 40km. That tells you a bit how I drive laugh.gif

All problems will be freely tackled up to 5 years.
1. No. Go to SC
2. No. Go to SC
3. To me standard brighting. Use a black wallpaper if that helps.
4. Did not experience this.
5. Sometimes, but it will go back to the reverse camera.
6. No experience.

Today ia the 2nd day, I found a few issues
1) car hard to move when switched to gear 1, have to press quite hard in order to get it moving.
2) I wish to ask you guys, are we supposed to press down the wiper on auto mode in order to make it auto?

yes, i do note that at night the highlights flickers a bit. i put VS n kinda solve the prob. true, i believe the electric supply is not stable since the car ecu responses to electric signals.

Try read the manual, already stated there in detail that different parts of the car have different warranty period.

Looks like blue is quite popular, which I also like. Kinda reminds me of the Focus ST.

The SA even told me to paint the rims to gold to make it looks like Subaru doh.gif

icic, thank you.

How much do you spent for the VS? is installing it void warranty? or do SC have solution for light flickers?

SC wont have the solution for it. They will just reply it is normal.

It was this flickering thing that causes premature headlamp bulb malfunction in Preve, aka "pirate eye issue". I don't know bout Suprima will share the same fate or not.

well.. its a rare color.. albeit a nice one..
for me, going gold with the rims is cliche..
matt black would do it... or the gunmetal grey of the R3 rims.. drool.gif drool.gif

white cars can go with full white rims..

does that means VS is the only solution?

1-for the front rotor, how long does it takes to replace? do i need to make appointment in order to get it fix? lets say i want to get it fix tomorrow. which SC u recommend? other than COSE (before CNY)
3- actually, i put my meter display brightness to 1 bar only, but its the same. I find the dimming and brighting sensor is "terbalik" as i set the light off - HU go dimmer, when i, on or auto the brightness go fullblast at night... always have to adjust brightness everytime i start my car during night...

btw my car finished the first tank petrol.
50% highway 50% town 409km pump 40.9L @RM86, 1L = 10km, seems like not bad FC before 1k Service. (even parked with engine on for half an hour)
