the first one (with grey rocker cover) the engine looks senget.
the 2nd one is ok.

performance wise:
very powerful 270ps engine, 2wd makes it more powerful (less power loss as 4wd).
u will feel the g-force pull compared to ur H22A.
people not familiar with fwd turbo must beware as there will be a lot of torque steer.
can get 250kmh no problem.

FC:
can be better than normal auto v6 or maybe auto h22a as it is manual.
but the FC can be high if always boosting.
hiway can save FC as u are cruising, in the vacuum range not boost.

but:
evo manual gb is close ratio.
cruising at 110kmh is around 3.5K rpm. bunyi bising.
sometimes, ppl tend to change the clutch plate to performance one like heavy duty or semi racing or racing clutch. so clutch keras.

if ur father likes smooth engine and always travelling, better get twinturbo.
if dont mind the bising, get evo.
evo more powerful than twinturbo.
twinturbo can maintain top speed much longer.
FC about the same...

dai ko here, what is the different among 2005 , 2007 and 2009 model? They named as enhanced , enhanced 2 and enhanced 3 ge wo

then i think twin turbo suitable for him. twinturbo has no gb prob right? which is better auto or manual?. i

Erm, that depends. Normally Manual ones no prob with the GBox. Only look out for the Auto GBox ya bro bayern24. So if he likes to travel the Twinturbo suites him. If he's heart is still young like you then Evo suites you 2. hahaz

Dear V-Sixer,

bros,
Anyone ever repair the auto cruise function? My perdana the autocruise is not function as i pressed the button. Jz wonder how much it cost to repair or get a new one. 

temp. prob, check radiator fan, radiator cap, thermostat, radiator leaking?, radiator sumbat/blocked, radiator head too old (karat) and hoses.
or maybe engine head bengkok already..

semput at 170kmh?
timing ok? plugs? or maybe its got to do with overheating prob.

shakes and rattles: a lot of things can contribute to that.
balancing, alignment, tyre bengkak, bushing koyak, mounting koyak, suspension prob, etc..

Thanks bro neuro1 on your advice. I will have those things checked out. My mechanic advice me to try and flush the radiator first. That should be ok, right?

Bro, how do I know whether the timing is ok? What is the normal rpm at idle? Hmmm... plugs. Never had changed them before since I got it - secondhand, enhanced II.

Thanks again. Appreciate it.

BTW, I live nearby you - kajang.

Added on November 2, 2010, 9:38 amAiyoo.. all this talk of auto GB giving way after 100k is really scaring me lah My PV6's mileage is about 87k now. I change the ATF and filter once in every two service intervals. That should be fine, right?

And my PV6 is strictly a weekend drive... I put a sanction on myself from driving it on weekdays but everyday feel gatal want to drive one

This weekend driving to Kuantan...

flushing is ok but will not solve it if the radiator is clogged with debris (besi karat, etc)

for v6, rpm at idle should be around 700-800.

maybe just check the plugs, see if the plugs colors are ok.
brownish is good. if black or white or oily or plug tip short/cracked, not good.

aiyo, dont be afraid, change ATF every 2 service intervals and change ATF + filter every 4 service interval. (1 service interval 7000km?)
u should be ok. and dont always trash the gb, play top speed ok, dont always play traffic-light-drag-race.

kajang where?
if u are in the neighbourhood, we can go TT.. 

my milage is 300k alredi and still using the ori GB. install the atf cooler and it should last a bit longer. driving long distance every weekend (1000 km) at speed 120-140, hard driving style (rpm > 4k)

this is one tough horse!
