now that myvi has entered the discussion.

pandu laju: myvi won
autobuzz: iriz won 2x

so once again we are getting conflicting results. haha

yea. put a smile to my face everytime i drive that car. it just feels so good to drive that car in MT.

ops, i didn't realize they were 2 different generations of myvi.. sorry for the mistake, but is good also, at least it points out your point, CVT>4AT in terms of efficiency
sadly, i'm not team CVT either. i understand they have better FC and better acceleration, but the feeling of driving a CVT is so dead. to be fair, even the 4AT feels relative dead to me (i prefer the engagement of the MT) but the CVT takes it up 1 notch higher.
also i can't help but have a feeling behind my head, that says, CVT would not last longer than a 4AT if driving spiritedly, because imo gears always better than belt in terms of handling stress.

should be the iriz's win right? in terms of braking test. i have no idea how myvi won that one either.

2019 still got warranty right? can try to ask SC whether can claim warranty for GB?

my car 4.5 y/o. so far so good. recently checked, still look pristine.

i think those that had rust, is mainly due to tap water. should be common knowledge, yet it's not that common actually.
i tried to buy distilled water from petrol station, they ask me just add normal water can d, they dun sell distilled water.
a lot of workshop also just top up normal water only. how can don't rust if everyone do things like this?

fyi, distilled water is also good for equipments that use water (like clothes steaming machine/steam floor cleaner, because it does not have hard water properties like tap water, which will cause the formation of white residues (limescale)
but it's not that easily available. i wanna buy 5L but not always got. got small bottles le, but expensive if i buy 10x 500ml.

edit: side track a bit, i feel my engine mounting going to gg soon. on neutral, the steering vibration seems to be getting more apparent esp when the compressor kicks in.
you all changed your engine mounts roughly at what age/km?
my car currently 4.5y/o with almost 75k km clocked.

the car you drove last time too good d.

i used to drive saga BLM auto 1.3
that car FC

my persona with spirited drive and jam also better than it.
even camry / accord have better FC than that saga.. hence.. any car is an upgrade for FC to me.

if your model is 2019 and older, there is a knob at the right side of the steering wheel (near the door) that you can set, default setting 0 can be a little too high for some ppl, so you can use +2 or something. in familiar roads, i put +4, only in dark and unfamiliar roads i will set it back to +2/0

if your model is after 2020, then this knob has been removed, you will need to pop open your bonnet, locate a screw at the headlamps, turn the screw to adjust up and down or left and right. park your car facing a wall, then adjust using the wall as reference, the left lamp will always be higher than the right lamp by a bit. it's normal.

I drove from Kota Damansara to sg besar and back for wedding dinner using trunk road. Slight jam but only manage to achieve 11km/L. Manual variant BTW. 256km /RM 47 ~= 23L

I think my best really just slightly below 15km/L. I'm not good enough at cruising I guess.

Difficult to crank from day 1. At first thought battery getting weak, but no. I can struggle to crank for months or even more than a year, after it says low batt. So i just keep driving until i cannot start it anymore or when it reaches 2.5 years and i suddenly dun wish to get stranded at unknown area, so i drove to varta and trade in for a new batt

I mean every battery i used also struggled to crank. But it will still start itself for more than 2 years. I had always thought it was a persona circuitry issue

Use back same specifications unless you have plans to fully mod your headlamps (like changing to osram or diff temperature lighting)

Can get from anywhere, my headlamp was replaced using mr diy bulb. Forgot how much was it, but it was cheap and been using for more than 3 years (my car age is 5 yr +). Most importantly, don't touch the bulb with your bare fingers, the oil from your fingers will cause the bulb to burn. Improper installation will shorten your bulb lifespan more than 3rd party brand would.

Jz dun add pipe water or mineral water into your radiator and make sure your service center don't do that too. My car 5yr+ no sign of rust. Only add premix coolant, or mix your own coolant, or if emergency, add distilled water only.

Do rotation, alignment and balancing outside. No need do at service center. It is good and will ensure your ride always stay balance (since the wear on tires will be even)
