Anyone else here feel that their Suprima headlights are not bright enough?

Everything is standard. I noticed that the Myvi has brighter lights when I drove a friend's car the other day.

Yeah i agree. Need to adjust it to see if I can get some range without annoying drivers on the opposite side of the road. Otherwise I've read where some Preve owners have changed to the Osram nightbreaker. Any Suprima owners tried any new bulbs yet?

I believe that only applies if you switch to HID. Not sure what the regulation is on changing to a brighter halogen bulb, but if i am not wrong, i think it is allowed.

If you want a well balanced tyre, go for Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2. If you want all out dry grip, go for Yokohama AD08R. Have a few friends using that and absolutely love it except for when it rains.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe try again in a few months time.

Not sure if I'm the only one experiencing this but please feel free to share.

My brakes seem to squeal. usually happens when slow braking. The brakes also feel a little soft and today had to do an emergency brake at 80km/h and felt that the car should have braked faster.

I've taken up this issue with the people at the COE at least twice but never has my problem been ratified.

My question is. Could it be the brake pads and if so, besides that standard ones, what would be recommended based on personal experience.

Thanks.

So I'm not the only one facing this. Good to know. Currently at 19k millage waiting for 20k. I've spoken to my mechanic (Not proton) and he said the likely list of problems could be rust, dirt on disc, pads maybe wore out, and as for the soft feeling, we might just need to bleed out the brakes. If anyone got theirs fixed please do share. Thanks.

Agreed. Before I purchased my Suprima, I tried the Vios, Polo Sedan and City. Didn't find the Vios and Polo Sedan interesting but the City is a very nice car with good specs. At the end of everthing, I decided to go with the Suprima as it made me the happiest.

I have complained to COE about the same problem and have told me that they will replace my mountings. This was a month ago. Still have not heard back from them on stock availability.

Has your top end suffered or is it still the same?

Just tell them there is excessive vibration. Ask them for a solution. They most likely will change your mounting.

Nothing major for 20k. The same as 10k as I remember. The only extra I did was tire rotation and balancing which I shouldn't have ask Proton to do because they did a horrible job.

The Suprima has its fair share of issues. To me the issues seem manageable, which is why there might be less complaints.

Not exactly similar.

Example of issues I faced :

1. Remote boot release issues
2.Black and White video on reverse cam during hot days
3. Light vibrations during morning start ups (SC will change mounting)
4.My brakes make noise during low speed braking ( Annoying during jams)

There are a few more minor issues that I can't seem to remember. But I would have to say that the biggest issue is dealing with the staff at the SC. The ones I have encountered make life hard and I have to constantly remind them and follow up regarding my parts that have been ordered.

As for the car itself. I am really satisfied with what I drive and would still buy a Suprima if given a second choice for the same price range.

The stock tires are horrible. I just changed mine after a year of use. While I do enjoy the occasional corner, the stock achiles doesn't seem to last. Mine had holes in it. Decided to try out ATR sport 2. So far I have less noise and my grip is better. But not too sure about wear yet.

I think you might be more suited towards Japanese cars if you're that passionate about wiper/signal stick placement.

Any signs of before it failed?

My Gen 2 would show signs before it failed. Alarm lock/unlock slow response, CD player forgets last played track, starting engine takes longer.

This would normally happen 1 or 2 days before it actually fail thus giving enough time to get it replaced.

Just wondering if the Suprima has similiar signs.

What size bulbs does the Suprima use?

Same boat as you. They always tell me they solved it, but after collecting the car the noise remains.
