correct me if I"m wrong....but this look very similar to the oem visor on my kenari leh.....

Yoo guys, does most of you here changed from RON97 to RON95? Any performance drop? Lesser mileage ? Louder engine noise? Pls share your experiences with the new fuel..thanks.

Mine, I realized the mileage dropped around 5% and my birdy's engine noise much louder than before...sigh...thanks to our G....

rayzhai_yap, you pinkzuzu ?

Pls post the EZi kenari pic too

With RON95(Shell) my last filled up, cost me RM49.84 with the trip counter clocked at 554km....not bad lah....On average, I can reach 110KM for RM10.

lol, I was driving it to work and back. So, would say around 60% City, 40% highway. Air con is on like 40% of the time only. During highway driving, I was told that if I leave the window down w/o aircon, it actually resulted in more drag. So usually I on the aircon during highway drive.
But I think the part that contribute to my good FC is my "golden right foot" Coz my speed average at 60km/h only during city drive.




p/s: My kenari is 100% stock. Oh, Manual Transmission by the way.

REALLY No air con 100%....woh.....and yet you can't reach 500km per RM50...your kenari manual which year of made? Mine is 2009.

Yeah, I always monitor my speedometer and usually don't exceed 70km. The small town in East Malaysia I'm living in dont have so many traffic lights and jams like you guys have in KL mah....that's why can maintain 60km/h. If I wanna be mad, then I can reach 80~100 no problemo. Just that everytime I exceed 70km my conscience will tell me "Hey man, you're wasting your petrol " then my golden right foot will be lightened

Hardly hear any engine problem, gearbox wise....when I first got the car, it was a bit hard for me to engage into 1st gear, but after awhile it's ok. I supposed there was rough edges since I got a brand new one. Since you're planing on getting a second hand one, I believe that wont be a issue at all. Regarding other common problems, I think the forum on motor trader is a good guide. One of the infamous problem of kenari would be the wing noise. I think that problem can be countered by installing the oem visor (or any other relevant visor). I hardly troubled by the wing noise even when I reached 100km/h as it has been troubled some other kenari drivers.

Here's the link on motor trader forum :http://www.motortrader.com.my/asp/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9570

Kelisa and Kenari engine are the same. Since Kenari curb weight is heavier than kelisa, by theory it's fuel consumption should be slightly higher. But then again, you'll get a lot more head room compared to kelisa. As regards my birdy, the FC is as good (if not better than) as any kelisa out there. Best result so far is RM10 - 115++KM. Even on average, I can reach 105-108 km with RM10. (RM1.8/L)

I'd recommend you to go for the aerosport manual. The price is reasonable I think, but that has to depend on the mileage as well as other factors. Anyway, all the best for choosing your car. Hope you'll join our rank as a kenarianz soon.

Ahsam1212, thanks for the compliment. Actually, I was quite amazed myself. By the way, I just filled up the petrol again last night with the trip counter clocked at 549.1KM and the fill up cost me RM52.50. So approximately 105KM for every RM10. I supposed the good FC due to the smooth traffic condition in this small town of East Malaysia I'm living in. I seriously doubt that I can achieve this kind of FC if I'm living in KL or any part of West Malaysia with heavy traffic Jam daily.

So, Rayzhai Yap, how's your Kenari's FC ?

Woh, no wonder I can reach 530km on average with my kenari since I always cruise around 50-60km/h. Never realized the difference in speed could affect the FC so much. Thanks for the info.

Rayzhai_yap, I'm living in Miri a small town in Sarawak, East Malaysia.

Hey Maple, welcome to the club of kenarianz . Your red birdy is Auto or manual tranny? Let us know your birdy's FC ok? As regard the real parcel shelf, we have been sourcing it at K20C.com but to no avail till now .....let us know if you manage to custom made one, ok ?

Yeah loh, I'd love to meet up with you guys and learn from all you sifu about our birdy.....but that can only be done if our birdy can really fly across South China sea...lol




Well, I think the technique most people employ would be fill up your car till full, reset the trip counter by pressing the button (where the green circle is). You run your car till the tank is almost empty, then go fill up your tank again. Write down the KM you've covered (shown at the indicator which the green arrow is pointing) and divide that by the amount you paid of the second fill up. Understood ?

I know there's an existing thread discussing about different brand of ROn95 Fuel....but I"m still curious as to which Brand all you sifu using for our birdy? I've been loyally supporting SHELL since the day 1 I got my car till now...but seems like petronas is doing better than SHELL in term of RON95, is that the case ?

p/s: Here in East Malaysia, we only have the option of SHELL or PETRONAS, Esso, BHP, caltex are not available..

Oh cool, thanks for the info .....in Sarawak here though only SHELL or PETRONAS. By the way, which brand you're using then ?

Zack, you're driving a kenari too ?

My friend's wife told me their kenari stock rim cap always flew away too. They replaced it a few times around the price you quoted. But after a few times, they didn't bother but removed the rim cap from the rest of the wheel. As a matter of fact, I saw many older kenari owner did the same thing. So, if I were you, I'd do the same thing to save myself trouble and money for replacing the cap. But then, that's just me
