Saga can easily hit 160km/h XD
High end most of the power is there

Sane and smooth driving plus good low end torque, its achievable

wow, this is really good.....

you guys using mineral engine oil or semi synthetic engine oil? I used both before and currently using semi.. really can feel the different in smoothness when cruising and pick up.. worth every cents even a bit expensive

babylck
i tot we are recommended to use semi syn?

Before petrol hike, RM50 = 350-380 is normal but after petrol hike....you are the man!

fuel hike or no fuel hike, 350-380 on a full tank is really good (for this car la) for most modern cars, even 380 is considered bad, so proton really need to buck up la. sigh* this is a really nice car.
i've only done 105km and i'm already on the 2nd bar. and i really control the right foot.
but this is Penang city driving la. not much highway here. average speed is 60kph.
and, also my car hasn't broken in yet.
after break in does the fc improve by a lot? i mean, is there a really big difference?

yeah,pls rev ur car pls,and yeah,penang driver drive slow also,

yes, i agree with u. and as if our drivers already not slow enough, our Council still wanna put speedbumps all over some more. Pulau Pinang Darul Speedbump. and during rain right, i dunno why la, Penang drivers suddenly lose the ability to drive one. rain only sure jam.
I'm starting anti-speedbump campaign. Anybody wanna support me? Just say TAK-NAK, LOL

Full tank can easily goes more than 400km for me. Anyway, I'm not talking about full tank, we are talking about RM50 = 350km

if i remember correctly, u do a lot of highway driving also right?

No wax will protect from stone chips its stone hitting the bonet at high speed and one even dented my hood a bit.

that one cannot be helped i guess. any car will face this problem at high speed.

Each day I traveled at least 100km, highway around 25km, city around 50km, old road around 25km, how bout that?

Even a Honda Civic will get stone chip on bonet, is that consider Civic's paint lousy or its having same quality as BLM paint?

I thought recommended engine oil is the Petronas Mach 5 20W-50 which is a mineral base engine oil

aiya....u think the FC is bad because the fuel tank of this car is small comparing to other car
our car only can hold 30 litres........
like persona can hold 40 litres if not wrong

it helps mine....each time i drive also heard rocks hit my car....side,front or windscreen....no scratch

Added on September 10, 2008, 8:27 pmdepends on the SC...some uses 15w-40...some use 20w-40
some personally use 10w-50 which give better pick up

You all dont understand what is Stone chips izit? It will affect any car regardless of got wax or not.The thicker and better the quality of the paint the better it resist the impact of stones. Usually more expensive cars will have few layer of paint then top up with at least two layer or more of clear coat, but blm only has one thin layer, thats why when stone hits it straight away expose the metal beneath, mine is a black car so its more visible than any color. Who still say wax will help let me throw stones at your bonet better still use bb gun to shoot the stone see if it helps, and this is only a fraction of the strength of stones hitting your car at high speed. Now my metal is expose will rust in the long run

I wax and wash my car twice a week myself and i get to see where got scratch and where got stone chips, you guys who travels highways often should check your bonet for any small expose metal.

put stone guard infront ur car lor..macam those hilux and ford ranger have it infront their bonnet.haha.

babylck
im not sure.im away from my blm for quite a long time liaw..haha.

=.= thats so ugly wei...i might think of respraying the bonet or maybe spray another thin layer of clear coat.

As I said, my friend Civic has a lot of stone chip as well. You complained about BLM paint sucks but how bout Civic? So conclusion is, not all expensive car having few layer of paint. And also no matter how many layer, if you drive fast, once hit it will straight goes till the deep of the metal there, with few more layer won't help if you always drive fast.
