Thank you so much for this Hybrid Fan Club ! Appreciate your effort.

My best FC so far : 3.9L / 100km or 25.6KM / L (from Cheras Pandan Indah to Petaling Street)
My average FC : 5.5L / 100km or 18.1KM / L
** 95% city drive **

I'm switching from Persona and quite satisfied with this car. It is quite, comfort, and very fuel saving (compare with my previous Persona). Car surround sound system is great, car infotainment is good.. Got my car for about 2 weeks now, reaching 1000km, only pump my petrol once (Ron97) for RM115. today is my second refuel (RM110).

Currently I'm connecting my iPhone via bluetooth. Haven't try out the MirrorLink, guess it is too complicated to set up. Appreciate if any SIFU here can teach us a short tutorial. I don't even know what app to download to use MirrorLink.

=)

2. ur driving traffic condition are alway butterly smooth?
3. why u do RON97 instead?

do provide TIPS for this insane fc for everyone here pleasE?
*can please capture ur lock picture? i had no idea what was that ? i thought is sort of steering lock

Hi Lexanoir,

No la, I used to cruise my ride along the way. Avoid any unnecessary acceleration, then it should be good. Yes, smooth and easy is the key to fuel saving. I always keep my meter below [power, white zone] keep it around [eco, green zone]. When the traffic condition is below 50km/h, use full EV to utilize the battery instead of engine. If you notice, [Eco] got two zones, green and yellow. Keep your meter (left) in Green zone.. then it will be fully using electric(provided you have battery).

Why RON 97?
Basically it is recommended to use RON 97 as long as your engine is > 2.4cc
RON = Research Octane Number [standard measure of a motor or aviation fuel] The higher the octane number, the more the fuel can withstand compression before it detonates.

RON95 is good for car with lower CC, for i.e when I'm driving Persona, it is not advisable to pump RON97 because Persona 1.6cc is not suitable to use RON97, it won't give me more power.

In return, filling a vehicle(>2.5cc) with a lower octane rating than the one specified by the car manufacturer may lead to pre-ignition, a scenario that would ruin the car engine in the long-run or even result in an explosion. Generally, higher octane fuels are used for vehicles with higher compression ratios. So if you're driving Ferrari and filling RON95, your engine will be ruined in long run.

For the pedal lock, let me capture it tonight for you.

I'm 25 as well. Actually I didn't plan on buying any car until Tesla coming into Malaysia(which I hope for 2 years back). Getting this car is a sudden plan because my younger brother need a car and I gave him my Persona. So I'm researching some option for my next car and lucky enough Camry Hybrid is launching that time. So without much hesitation I just made my booking.

Not a fan of super car / luxury car, what I appreciate is the technology together with the car. Tesla will always be my first choice, but since it's not coming into Msia anytime soon. I just got myself a Camry Hybrid.

Yea, many 90s nowadays won't put too much money on property. My friend rather get a Audi TT instead of getting a house... My advice: house first, car later. Totally agreed with what Coolken saying.

Wow! I feel old in this group... hehehehe...I'm 38

By the way, can I check with those who have already used the mirror link.
Is it true that when your phone is connected, this impacts your audio from other sources?
As in you cannot play any music from your USB drive or radio, if your phone is connected via mirror link?
I was told of this by a friend who drives the Honda City.

Also, I am having a problem charging my phone via the car's USB slot, as in it doesn't charge.
I read an american article on the Camry that which states:
"You may be annoyed when you find out the Camry’s USB jack cannot charge a tablet or other device drawing more than 5 watts"

Is this true? Do the rest of you guys have the same issues on charging via USB?
*
What phone are you using? I haven't try to connect thru mirror link. Waiting for other SIFU to share some tips here. As for USB port, I can charge thru this port with my iPhone. Haven't try to charge a tablet before though. One thing is when I charge my iPhone via the USB port, i will be able to connect my phone using IPOD mode (basically quite the same comparing connecting via bluetooth). Just that it will display your songs info when you connect via USB.

Bro, does it sounds like vibrating sounds, or sounds like something loosen inside the dashboard or they didn't clip something properly inside the dashboard?

I notice it today, it is between the digital clock and air vent there...

How your sc advise you on this?

Hi ecos;

how much for install ceramic pro http://www.ceramicpro.com.my/packages-2/ From RM1800 (Bronze)  -RM4600 (Gold) , Platinum -RM6600

how the quality It is only company certified by SGS as they claimed with 9H hardness. I believe Ceramic coating is better than Glass coating.

can see really different ? Of course... you can touch the smoothness and the Hydrophobic Effect

long lasting ? It provide 5 years warranty for silver package.

easy to clean ? Superb easy... after applied the coating due to the hydrophobic effect..
Hope above helps.....

Remark: You may refer attached photos of my car during the coating process.....

Hi,does it really make much difference ? When you wash your car? Do you need to use shampoo to wash off the dirt? Especially lower part of the car? Try to give us a review;) I'm sure many of us wanted to do but still 50/50 because didn't have convincing user review.. Appreciate if you can share us your experience so far:)
