I think you have to sign first else what's to stop you from saying you don't want the car anymore after seeing it?

as this morning was cold. i set my air con temp to right where red indicator and its blowing hot air. it is normal ? im sure that is hot air.

mine is manual air cond leveler.

when set temp at mid at the leveler, very obvious hot air blow at leg room (set to blow toward face n leg ).

yes
when you turn to right (RED), it will blow hot air. haha its weird for me also as normal car dont have this red indicator.
so just use the left (blue) side everything will work just fine

Been driving my almera for almost 2 weeks and i'm going for the 1st service tmr.

FC is not really great though..average 450km/full tank (Rm 75/full tank)

And I found that this car is extremely bad at pick up ... Even a Myvi is far better.

Other than that, all seems perfect. Any comment?

the compressor kick in sound. nothing they can do about this.
u can reduce to knock sound once u warm up your car enough. this is wht i normally do

For some reason, my SA told me VL spec are x so fc savvy. Don't know why though.

I read in the thread that fc will be better after the 1k service? What the logic behind this guys? hmm.gif

not really 1 k. cos engine is new , more friction in engine thus need more fuel produce power. as time goes by with new engine oil, mechanical parts work better with less friction. less fuel to burn is needed. 1 k jus a benchmark.

i own 3 new car before. some after 1 k better while some after 5 k. but gradually will be better. if after 10 k still not better then its not engine problem. like my saga fl from day one till now still bad.

less active in this topic because less problem on this car so no much complain or hot topic to discuss.

Done my 1st service today...SC used mineral oil and advised to use it until 10000km..then used semi synthetic...in addition..they also pour engine treatment...just to help reduce friction and yes..driving is more njoyable...

Highlighted issues has been solved as below:

1. Rattling sound when start engine and during driving. - cause by exhaust that too near to bumper/bodykit. Fixed exhaust...no longer hear irritating sound...
2. Aircond sound loud when AC turn on. - SC said its normal for Almera...hmmm...
3. Rear spoiler not properly installed. - Put more glue..now looking good..if not, the spoiler already gone if i hit 100km/h again...
4. Glovebox not properly fit to close. - same...SC said its normal for Almera...haihhh
5. Alignment & Balancing. - slightly to the left....fixed FOC for the 1st 5000km...
6. Rear wheel bearing. - just repair...if problem persist then they will replace...

additional job i request from them...to remove rear seat plastic cover....

arrived 7.30 am and finished at 11.00am...demmm...luckily i took leave for 1 day...

oh yes...the complimentary car wash sucks...my car was not clean in and out...
