QUOTE(prozac @ May 10 2008, 06:54 PM) Most owners probably won't use the 4x4 anyway and turn it off for better fuel consumption..... Natica's (& Kembara's) AWD system is engaged all the time (where most of the power goes to the 2 front wheels, back wheels only kick in in certain situations)... there is no option to switch to exclusively 2wd.. the only switch you have is to lock the central diff. so that all 4 wheels get the same power. This is only used if you are in a muddy/gravel/sand pits. Definitely not for tar roads even in wet situations. Some sales people and customers don't know this and ending up destroying/damaging their gears/axle/central diff. Very few cars have the option for 4wd and 2wd on tar roads... of all of Toyota's models only Hilux Surf comes to mind.

That is something we would NOT find in a Not-the-car.  It looks startlingly like a car I have seen before....

one thing I know about previous kembara car is you can speed like hell laaa last month , my cute little friend ( she's 160cm only and 21 years old only ) drove 150km/h from ipoh to kl on highway with no worries... last week, i drove my sister's viva 130km/h already takut.. I think that's where we can take advantages of this 4wd on the road This post has been edited by Invader Zim: May 14 2008, 12:42 PM

Just imagine a cbu car from japan with myvi's steering wheel, redesign front and back bumper (with local reverse sensor) and yet it's called cbu from japan.
The toneau (spelling) cover and heat insulator under the front bonnet is missing. The holes is there though. When asked the SA, he replied it is optional accessories = more money = more profit.
Really really really dissapointed for RM90k car.

today if im not see wrong at the Kesas highway, i saw Nautica without front bumper, and without the spare tyre.
Maybe they send the car to Perodua factory to put on the front bumper...
