Not only bad nvh.. but also the harsh ride.. Huhuhu.. but what u get is good handling in exchange for that..hehe

I presume you are referring to Mazda 3 when you felt that the tyre noise is not good. A change in more silent tyres on the Mazda 3 don't help much? Personally I am not an advocate of soundproofing the car although it will help in making the car quieter.

Yes, can check with them again. Or you can check with other Sylphy owners and see if they have the same sound in their cars. If other Sylphy owners do not experience the noises, then you will know that your car only shows this sound, and it can be rectified at the SC ie. some part is faulty that is causing the sound.

Test drive both and see. NVH and comfort are subjective experiences depending on driver's expectation, sensitivity and what car he is comparing with. It will be a pity if you dismiss Mazda 3 based on someone else's perception of NVH. I personally dion't feel that its NVH and comfort are bad and my previous car was a Kia Optima which is known for comfort.

i have not experience kluk" noise.. or grinde"

G11 Sylphy look outdated..

RM75 RON95 full tank i travel weekday work, 2 week cost me RM75 Ron 95 or RM85-90 on Ron 97

x

i cannot compare Mazda 3 i not own or drive the car. but outside look nice sporty.. but not my taste xxx oh i live area service center for Mazda is not.. accessible.. i need to travel for service.

OK good to hear that you do not experience any "kluk" or grinding noises in your car. That would suggest that the noises that the other owner experienced in his car are something that is not normal.

Yes, the previous generation Sylphy 2.0 looks outdated. The current Sylphy model looks better.

Really tempted to get this car due to the huge discount and the comfortness of the car. Suitable for small family with sedan. The only thing thats holding me back is the cvt. Still sceptical about the durability and also not much feedbacks from owners beside this tread..

hm last i hear big discount, 3 year free maintenance service and bodykit also 6.5 inch for RM1..

only issues is car manufacture May 2014 NOT CVT... they actually one of the best.. and reliability.. but remember treat with care..

ad-on: if you do chose sylphy.. get the 1.8VL not 1.8E i was told they giv more care to 1.8VL than 1.8E xx+ all extra thing.. like LED ascent light, Headlight(projector xenon) washer, Auto light/ rear mirror.

** UPDATE**

add soundproofing Material (silver padded with rubber Glu material)

4 door with silver pad 2 layer 1.5MM thick.

Price RM560 for 10 piece.

Is the NVH better after installing sound proofing?

is already good cause outside door Sylphy got Foam sound damp... i add Deading pad to improve sound and outside noise also reduce is a extra.

Haha...mine also have this kluk sound...when the meter hit 55km/hr, this kluk sound will appear...already sent to sc, they said brake pump issue (not release). And told me try not to pull my handbrake when parking...try already for a few days, but the kluk sound still there. They said if still happen, i need to leave my car during 10k service.

you go sell your Sylphy... and get Aston Martin dB no kluk or klak... no poop just woosh~ Arggh!~! haha 0 to 100kmh in less 4 second or 240 in 5 sec... all ppl call you poser... x

The sylphy factory soundproof is not bad, only noticeable tyre noise when cruising at >100kmph during test drive. Please share if you manage to further reduce the tyre rolling noise.

will do... but Rear Tyre arch, i can only do little to improve, as i check.. got no arch hold or something(i dunno what it call) plastic where usually space can add Foam/soundproof material to reduce water noise flow.. BUT IT will not stop me.. i tear open Rear boot.. and look got space to improve with 2-4 layer silver soundproofing on TOP rear arch...

4 door/Fender is solid now... i think it can stop Bullet. LOL

I've done with my my Nissan Sylphy, though the previous 2.0-litre model. Exactly the same thing to all 4 doors. It cost me RM300 at that time. Claimed USA product and all. No difference in sound as the Sylphy is inherently already a very quiet car. There might be minimal difference, but to my ears close to zero. The only difference is the doors feel heavier to open and close, and when the doors close there is a more solid thud sound rather than a hollow sound without the soundproofing material.

Not sure how quiet is the current 1.8 model, whether it is as quiet as the previous generation 2.0. If it has the same quietness, in my opinion there is no need to spend money on soundproofing the Nissan Sylphy.

WHat are the factory tyres on the Nissan Sylphy 1.8? The previous generation Sylphy 2.0 came with Yokohama Aspec dB tyres. Quiet tyres.

measure the noise with hp after done

if i remembered correctly, it is continental cc5 for that test drive unit.
