numerous 2 hour drives to nowhere...
most drives alone.
if drive on byway (B roads) at around 60-80 kmh, km/L can reach 19kmL avg. if no jam la...
school holidays now coming and i'm itching to be on the road again..
when i got this car, we were in the midst of cutting down on expenses, with kids college looming and income dwindling..
we had to make cuts... namely having less cars and focusing on just 1 car each for wife n me...
one car that had to do almost everything and be "cheap".
MPV/SUV were gas guzzlers (diesel is not really a thing in mesia, unlike europe) and pricey for my current state..
i was looking for a car that:
1 economical (cost cutting mah..)
2 long distance cruising (car can do town n have long legs to cruise at lower rpm)
3 carry luggage on the longer cruise
4 reliability (still testing as we go thru life)
anything else is a bonus..
manage our expectations, so that we wont be disappointed all the time...
one thing i really miss for long drives is the auto cruise control...
so, ended up with the bezza after much info searching in forums, asking questions, and base spending capability and still have money to have some fun...
didnt want to drive "LOOK AT ME" cars and the bezza is the next thing to being invisible.. i like that... i am like that...
ostentatious showmanship is not my thing... gone past that stage..
so my bezza DOES NOT HAVE hello kitty stickers or any stickers..
stock standard.
oh.. one thing... bezza seats sucks man... especially long distance, and the driving position (being upright oso sucks)
my legs get cramped during long drives.. especially when i get out of the car and find that my legs have gone to sleep..
and the relation between the seat and the wheel oso sucks.. (for me la)
the steering wheel being non adjustable has made me re-adjust my steering style from 'hand over at the top to hand over at the bottom of the steering wheel..
meaning for long distance, in a more relaxed way, i do the shuffling technique with the hand over of left/right hand at the bottom of the wheel rather than on top of the wheel (cos the wheel sits so high)
doing the cross hand style on top of the wheel means that i have to lean forward from the seat and thats going to be uncomfortable in a long drive..
sekian maklumat yang di ranchangkan untuk sesi ini...
lol
wow, you've chalked down a lot of mileage on your bezza.
Yeah all involved highway run until the nearest exit ot the B road.
on highway, cruising at legal speed limit, the fc is good.
on the B road, surprisingly it hits the sweet spot of this little 1329cc engines car so the fc is equally nice despeite having stop go traffic
overall, the fc is good for bezza, if fc is not good then peodua should terjun sungai, since the car is so light (980kg) with newer technology compare to its closest competitor.
ride and handling not perodua's strong point, so just leave it. no need to comment more either.
the seating position, i agree with what you said.
boot space, huge. can slam in a lot of stuffs. good.
