Is your oil life nearing to service interval? A drop in performance can be felt when the oil life is about 2000km left...

Nope. I'm at 7k now. Just did my Service A and 10k 2 months ago.

Any change of Petrol brand, RON?
I noticed certain petrol station/brands gave slightly lesser pull power from standstill... not too sure whether it is a placebo effect.

Hope it's not too late to say this. Congrats for the V7!
It's only been a month something, really enjoy my new ride. My 1st ride actually haha.

My TC, at night usually feel more responsive than hot day time. but not by much. definitely wont feel struggle to reach 100km/h.. still powerful..

I think is normal. my other car crz also feel more responsive at night.. dono why.. lol

my bet you accidently on the eco mode.

When up genting I feel the car very powerful strong pickup even with 2k-2.5k rpm, probably due to cold air.

wanna ask sifus...
u guys purchase the car with tint package or tint outside?

the sales advisor keep telling me tint outside would void warranty....hurmmm

If tint outside power window spoil due to installation for sure void warranty. It is like you screw up the car outside but expected able to claim warranty free from SC. If SA tint they would still sent to internal or outside workshop panel but at least if anything spoil the responsible will still under the SC that the SA belongs to. Personally I tint outside myself for best value money.

Into my 1.5 months driving my 1.5TCP WOP, and here's some observations:

1. Rattling from A pillar and also Right side of driver's door is audible, at low speed (<30km/h).

2. Semi-rattling sound from right side of the driver's air cond vent whenever A/C is at above speed 2.

3. WOP bumper colour is slightly yellowish compared to the body. Hardly noticeable, unless you know that it is different.

4. Current FC is at around 11.6km/l. Total mileage is 2.1K, mainly town use with MINIMAL traffic congestion. Average speed at around 80-90km/h for town use.. ECO mode ON for town use... Is this normal?

I have an appointment tomorrow to check on my rattling sounds....

So far it is still a fun ride... No regrets...

Dear all ...i can't reply earlier due to the thred v6 was closed...i would say 220 kmh cut off just nice...not going to shoot up to 200kmh all the way la...i mean short burst to 220kmh since the civic gets up to 207 very fast ...depends on the road ...clear open road ok....overtaking cars from far ...thats dangerous...volkswagen jetta can hit 240 kmh and it's not as quick as the civic ...so I don't see why 220 kmh can't be the cut off

Drove to Terrenganu and back over the weekend. Refueled art the BHP just after the Karak entry. Managed to last the entire trip and back, which was 713 km. Cost me 39.6 litres of fuel. Could've been better but was stuck in a bit of traffic in Kuantan.

1.5TC.

18km/l great

U r lucky not direct frm jpn cars like fdCTR cut off at 180kmh

Japan still having this rule to cap out at 180 km/h?

I remember friend's FD2R went to 260+ must have been modified then... he said limited by the gearbox cause rev cut at 6th gear only gets you there.

Stock Jetta can hit 240kmh? sure bo? even from their website top speed 220kmh. Current Jetta 148hp only, can reach 240kmh is amazing...

I actually experience the same thing. Though it’s not very sluggish, but I can feel that the car is not as powerful when compared to morning/night time. Initially I thought I was oversensitive. Not sure if this is the characteristic of the car? Lol

After some search online. It seems like it is a general characteristic for cars to have poorer performance under heat. Though it can be more pronounced in turbo cars. Generally, turbo engines (NA too) would perform much better with cold air (cold air have higher density compared to hot air).

yeap. that is why the intercooler is cooling the air before going back to the engine again

i felt the same too.. at time i feel the car like no power, some time the power is there.. just light touch on the pedal gas is enough..
