Was very interested with the big promo. But after reading the TnC, it only applicable to display unit, and without the 5y free maintenaince package.
*
this brand not many ppl will go showroom and really touch or torture it i guess.... should be still in its pristine condition.... as for the 5y maintenance package.... i think pay extra rm3k is cheaper than taking it for service in ala carte way.... its still not a bad deal considering its 2017 car... the last time they sold at this price is when they selling last year stock...

Thanks. What was the lowest price offered in the previous promo? 

Recalled the price was significantly reduced on the older versions when the new facelift were launched.
*
well to be fair... fluence wont be having any new launchings or facelift anytime soon... you cant compare it to that time... haha... but the pricing somehow quite attractive as its the dynamique version but with fabric seat made in 2017 only if not mistaken....

Hey guys, what's the difference between the 3 specs of Renault Fluence? Can't really spot the major differences..

To be honest, you buy a car to drive, not to sell it after x number of years. So to me, resale value is not a concern. However, I am more concern like any other Malaysian drivers - the maintenance, repairing and spare parts cost.

Recently, I just learnt that the spare parts are actually from Nissan? Do correct me if I am wrong.

I would appreciate if anyone could roughly breakdown the maintenance, repairing, and spare parts cost so that I can compare it to those Japanese cars.
*
mostly aesthetic difference... not a major disadvantage for me.... as im driving the lowest spec... nothing on the higher spec worth the 10k difference that i need in my current car....

not really all from nissan... just some of it share with nissan especially the engine and the gearbox... some sensors are the same... some are not.... basically its a french car with japanese heart...

i think some pages before mentioned about the maintenance repairing and spare part cost... for sure it will be higher for the parts which are not shared with nissan.... and also due to the volume of this car on the road... impossible to beat maintenance cost of a japanese car with the sales volume that they have....

How is the day to day fuel consumption for the Fluence eh? The SC say it's around 13 km/l or 7.7l/100km but I always kena fuel consumption always higher than quoted.

Am thinking of grabbing one of the promo cars (they say it's display car, I think it's actually new stock they can't sell) since this car gives me the opportunity to tolak my car & still not lose much.
*
for me... city driving 70% 30% highway driving... 10L/100km usually... generally fuel efficiency not that impressive... but its something i can accept it though...

even its display car... still considered brand new... not really alot of ppl will come visit showroom and touch this car all the time... its not honda or toyota after all laugh.gif laugh.gif

Super good deal, but buy 2nd hand need to paid 6%GST, after that and those insurance also come to 60K, but quite a good deal as this price can get C sec conti car.

But of course is not the latest design, so no those fancy LED day light, btw, is it possible to modified it to those LED day light ? haha .
*
i think u can ask outside workshop do it for you easily if those simple DRL... my fluence is the lowest spec one... no DRL also.... so far i can live without it.... unless i can install one on the headlamp like those BMW/Merc type... only it will appeal to me... the DRL provided by fluence currently... just sucks and pointless... haha

Planning to change car, Renault fluence offer now is tempting. Test drive once, but just a short distance, going back few pages here, still cannot decide. Hahaha
By the way, the salesman told me the offer is not showroom car but new car, is the guy know what he is talking about?
*
well... maybe its a brand new showroom car... not much ppl sit on it yet... if the condition is good... why not just get it... a C-segment at the price of B-segment.... considering the resale value of this car... buy at such a huge discount is the best option... reliability personally for me is fantastic.... laugh.gif laugh.gif

Yeah, got it on promotion.

So far 1 week everything is going well. The car just glides on the road & makes it easy for me to drive economically. But I do note that the TomTom map is old, a lot of roads are not updated.

Would love to have R-link Store access to explore some of the free apps available.
*
i think R-link is the weak point here... TC euro doesnt really give much emphasize on it even for the newer renault cars... should have update the software accordingly as the r-link in fluence is very damn old.. but then... i dont really use it much... so i can live on with it for now... haha

Great value. I think similar to the Kia Cerato.

The Cerato I think is 2 grand cheaper? Specs wise not sure but Cerato has 6 airbags and 8 inch sat nav system as standard.

Not sure what's the spec for the Fluence
*
fluence have 2.0 engine while cerato having only 1.6 engine... the rest all remain quite similar... fluence doesnt have front and back sensor.... fluence have walk-away autolock feature which currently only civic having it....

Dont know that only civic is the other car (on this price range i suppose?) have the wal-away auto lock future. When I use other car I seem to forget to lock the car, especially with my wife Preve.

yeap... when i drove other keyless entry car... they have no such feature... and i always forgot to lock their car... tongue.gif tongue.gif and when civic sell this point to me... i told them i tot its an earlier technology... why use it as selling point....

Guys, hows the FC and RPM like when cruising at 80-100km/h.

How much was the average maintenance cost for every 10k mileage. Thanks.
*
FC depends on usage la bro... city drive more or highway drive more... cruising at 80-100 around 2k....

maintenance cost see the last row of the photo....

Hi guys, hope this thread is still active.

I am an owner of a Fluence, 2016 FL model with 58k on the clock. Was just wondering whether the rest of you are having these, admittedly minor issues with the car:

1) When going through some potholes, the right rear of my car seems to "thump" louder. I do not know whether its due to me changing to 215/55/R17 tires, or my imagination. There would be no noise when going through most potholes..just the deeper ones. Sent the SC, and they reported in the "report card" that there are no issues with my undercarriage and suspension system

2) annoying "tick" sound in the passenger foot area, when brakes are pressed. SC said it's normal.

3) some annoying little rattle sound from, i think, the B pillar. I am a bit OCD in rattling sound so this one is driving me a bit mad, even though for a car with 50k kms and driving everday on our badly-maintained roads, it's normal.

4) when going though bumps at a certain angle, there would be some creak sound coming from the back doors.

Otherwise, more importantly, the mechanical parts of the car are good.

Hope there are still Fluence sifus around to advise on the above.

Thanks!

mine 2015... clocking 110k km already... no noises mentioned above... or maybe im less sensitive to sound... sometime these kind of noises abit subjective which alot ppl ... i also changed my tires profile same as yours... so far so good...

so only look at camera ?

just like normal way.... look at camera plus your own side mirror judgement... i dont think its alot different whether u are having a sensor or not... considering if u already have substantial experience in driving and parking...
