Dear Almerian, my VL already clocked 9,000 km. Should be due for 3rd service on next month. So far after 5months, i would like to make some comments and appreciate if everyone can give feedback or advise. Thanks.
1. Exterior- good noise proof. Acceptable design(mine without bodykit). Looks like mini luxury. My brilliant white paint doesnt looks durable. Wondering anyone install any BK apart from Impul? DRL? Pls include price. 2. Interior- acceptable design & quality. Spacious rear legroom. Good headroom. Uncomfortable seat. Its no providing enough support and comfort. Gear knob looks cheapo. Awkward steering positioning. Handrest at door too low and narrow. Not practical. Switches at door too far from reach. Need to buy armrest. No seatpocket at rear. Compartment above glovebox not practical. The two bar holding windscreen is too width and bulky thus blocking view during cornering. Appreciate feedback on this. Since we will be inside most of the time. 3. Handling- smooth drive. Decent gear switching. My top speed is 180km/h. Miserable cornering at above 50km/h. Car will is very floaty and swirl alot at above 100km/h. Steering lack response at speed above 140km/h. Tyre feels uneven and unbalance at speed above 80km/h. Car will sidestep during high speed braking. Any solution? Change tyre? Change rim? Install anti roll bar? Im really stuck at this part. The most important issue that i wanna solve. Kindly give recomendation and price. 4. Bonnet- looks spacious. Looks width. In actual its depth. Due to rear seat cant fold. 5. Engine- lightweight engine. Wet based battery. Everything is just fine at the engine compartment. I was wondering whats the engine oil used on 10k service? Can we choose or bring our own oil? Almerian, come and spill out whatever your thought is. I hope that we can all improve our Almer into flawless drive. |

I forgot to mention two thing.
1. My FC is not that good. Not as what i expected. Im getting 8.9 L/100km - 11 L/100km. Full tank ranging from 250km-400km. 2. My A/C blew out bad smell everytime its started. Especially in morning and afternoon. Doesnt make sense lol. Some issue with rear bearing also. Kindly enlighten. |

QUOTE(Felix123 @ Dec 7 2013, 05:58 PM) In addition, i heard some ppl complaining in the fb grp the fc of almera reached 10 l / km b4 10k service. Really have such issues? Is that VL version more high fc? Those ppl i heard for complaining are VL s' owners @@ I was wondering is it bcoz of the Auto climate A/C ? Btw anyone here changed the Tyre? If yes, mind stating down which brand and profile? For reference purpose. Tx |

Its been some time since i last posted here. My VL already clocked 11k +. Just to share:
1. My arm rest still going strong and shiny 2. Gotten hit again by some xhole this month. Hit n tun case haizz..rm600 down the drain for repair.. Now is strong n sturdy again 3. Previously complained about miserable cornering and stability. Swapped to 4.9kg advanti racing (storm series) 15' rim and conti cc5 195-60-15. Problem solved. 4. After 10k service i dont felt any major difference. Just the FC improve little little bit. Previous 80% city 20% highway is 8.6L/100, now is 8.5L/100. During service i questioned SC why using castrol magnatec? Why semi synthetic oil but oil change every 10k km? They only answer me its fix by tanchong. Almera only authorised to use magnatec. I said its a lousy oil. I tried magnatec last time. The performance drop after 3k trip. Semi oil is meant for 7k km only. The SC went speechless.. He said can bring own oil but will not warranty engine if anything happen.. It makes me think does is almera designed only to cope with castrol magnatec? Cant i feed my car with better nutrition? Is the engine so lousy that it cant accept other engine oil? I realised the engine noise is more noticeable after this service. So much for magnatec!! Im only sharing my thoughts. So no offend yah fella almera. I realised just by changing the rim and tyre, my almera can now whack corner confidently and more grip during high speed. Light rim really makes your car going. My top speed is 180km/h. Abit floaty though. Safest max speed is 130km/h. Anything beyond it will be floaty. Unless 17' wheel though. Last word of advice, for uphill drive (genting |
