Just got my car yesterday, but it felt like the idle vibration is more apparent than when I test drive π€
Is there anything on the aftermarket to reduce this?

I want to remove the bezza front fender. Found all the bolts except one that I think is located under the black plastic cover near the side mirror. Anyone knows how to remove this black plastic cover properly ... cause I tried prying it but it didn't work ... and I am afraid that I might break it

Then later sent for the 1k service. Is there anything on the aftermarket to reduce this? Again, test drive car have been driven more mile. |

QUOTE(ed209 @ Oct 30 2022, 02:26 PM) I disagree that an SUV's higher ride height provides a straightforward advantage over a sedan or hatchback. Your continuous complaints about your Ativa, considered selling it?Sure, if you value visibility from a higher ride height. But what also happens is, any obstacles/objects/children, that are short or low, become much more difficult to notice WHEN, you are close to these objects. Been driving the Ativa for almost a year and my ankles and heels still ache from long drives. This post has been edited by dogbert_chew: Oct 30 2022, 11:57 PM |

In my old W203, I never realised this would be an issue until I started driving my Ativa. Now, I cant even tell if there's a safety cone or a curb next to me. The other day, while making a turn at IKEA's parking lot, I didnt realise I was close to the curb and lightly bumped my wheel against the curb. Driving since 2011 and that has never happened to me before. Every time i exit my condo, I have to make a 90 degree left or right turn and there's a plastic pole which I need be extra cautious that I don't scratch my sides against. Its really much harder to notice these things in the Ativa. I can only imagine this to be more difficult if driving a taller vehicle like a Fortuner. Lastly, driving position. Unless its a Merc or a BMW SUV, the driving position is never as good as something like a Vios or City. Been driving the Ativa for almost a year and my ankles and heels still ache from long drives. seat adjust wrongly. bottom section should put flat as possible. back section adjust according to hand length |

Regarding the point about turning, is it possible because sudden switch from RWD to FWD? |

I myself can feel it and wish it is better. |

Worst case scenario, go to shop to ask them remove for a charge. |

Let it warm until blue light gone first. safe to go or better to wait for it to warm up ? too cold? Same with any car, better to let it warm for abit before driving. Alot newer cars donβt have temp gauge so they give this blue light thing instead. |
