Jibsifly, have you got your car? Welcome aboard. Would you like to share your Eastar with us?
Gogogo Eastar!

hi everyone..i kinda interested in this chery eastar..looks good too..

just wanna know, cruising at 110km/h, how high is the RPM??

Hi Jimmy, if I can remember correctly, RPM stay below 2000rpm at 110km/h. At such speed, fuel consumtion is around 17~18cents at current petrol price for distance driving. I am very happy with the performance for this MPV.
I will take a close look at the RPM when I drive to KL mid March.

RPM saya menunjukkan antara 2300 - 2400 semasa 110km/j dan sedikit bawah 3000 rpm pada 120km/h. Untuk makluman anda, untuk penggunaan rpm bawah 3000 rpm adalah di dapati bahawa penggunaan minyak adalah pada tahap optimum. Ini benar untuk semua jenis enjin tak kira saiznya dan mesti di gear tertinggi.

got my car yesterday evening,drove around for a while,so far no prob yet n hope it stay that way,the only prob was that they wrongly pick the wrong colour of my leather seat,order a light n dark brown instead they gv me a bright brown,luckilly i can change back the seat,will upload the photo.

what do u guys think of the colour??

Color is a very subjective topic. Important thing is the owner like it. Very nice two tone color!
Me too! I am ordering the spare remote key from HQ and they are trying to duplicate one set for me. Have to send the car to SC to program the key code. When we think back, we don't really use the spare key at all(for me); just need to spare incase.
Alternatively, we can duplicate the remote control at the outside store and attached it to the spare key. If this way is possible, save all the trouble and save money too. This idea only came out after I have made my order; I did not try b4, ya!

Added on March 1, 2009, 1:15 pmFor your information, I've checked experts. Small hardware store not able to duplicate this remote comtrol. Whereas, some key smith chain stores can do that; maybe they have the better equipment/facilities.
Anyone has this area of information, can share your experience.

Just to share, I got the spare remote control key exactly the same with the original key without having to pay extra cost.

U beli eastar kat dealer mana? And mcm mana u dpt? Salesman i ckp kalau nak buat dlm RM200. Tak perlu la... kalau hilang kunci remote(nauzubillah) still boleh buka keta pakai spare key, kalau alarm menjerit then u start the engine, berentilah jeritannya (tu kata my salesman, i tak pernah cuba lg).

Added on March 1, 2009, 9:29 pmJust to share. I bubuh petrol full tank, use 4 pegi balik ke tempat kerja dan one trip dari Parit Buntar ke Alor Setar, mileage dapat dlm 500 km (masih ada sikit maybe dpt lagi dlm 15-20 km tp tak berani nak try). Bila calculate dapat dlm RM0.24 per km. Tp bagi long distance 1 bar (lebih kurang RM30) dapat 200km (RM0.15 per km) dgn purata kelajuan 120 kmj. So, memang berbaloi beli eastar bagi sesiapa yg suka berjalan jauh... I juga try brp km dapat jln bila lampu amaran petrol dah menyala, berdasarkan testimoni Mr Enigma yg dapat 50 km, i tawakkal dari Gurun ke Alor Setar, alhamdulillah selamat (takut gak, coz kami memang pernah ada pengalaman mati keta sebab habis minyak) rasanya dapat lebih dari 50 km, tp memang i jaga kaki tak lebih dari 100 km/j. Kalau ikut i nak cuba sampai E tp my hubby bising, sayang enjin katanya...

Then, masa berenti kat Pasar Malam, one chinese guy datang kat my hubby tanya keta apa ni? (i dah letak nama V5 crossover dan buang perkataan eastar dan 2.4), mcm biasa hubby jawab, keta china... The guy dan ayah dia i think siap try buka tutup pintu keta lagi, jenguk-jenguk kot tingkap, tanya kami lari stabil ke tak... i kata kat dia try pi showroom and test drive...

I ambil kat PJ HQ. I thought semua orang dapat 2 set of remote key. Maybe my dealer tolak rebate road tax RM200 untuk spare remote key tersebut because i tak dapat rebate tersebut.

Saya menghadapi sesuatu yang agak luar biasa. Karpet berdekatan dengan aircon vent di bawah kerusi depan sebelah kiri untuk penumpang kiri baris kedua, iaitu di "lantai" bawah, telah basah dengan air. Adakah sesiapa pernah mengalami masalah ini? Sila berkongsi kepada yang berpengalaman. "Lantai" di bahagian lain tidak bermasalah.

thanks fr the info about the keys,i will check wt my puchong dealer how much is the cost fr the spare key,will update u guys,this eve drove fr puchong to sg buluh via plus hiway,tekan utl 140 and the car really can go man n its very stable,mau tekan lagi but wife sudah bising laaa,best laju beb

Spare key ...issue...ada yang dapat satu je ke??? aku dapat 2....

tentang air kat karpet....so far tak de masalah tu...try gi SC....mungkin anak hang tumpahkan air kot??? kalau tak dapat punca masalah ..the best wat ...cek ja kat SC....

Hello Guys,

Mine as well. I also has an extra spare key same as original one. I get my MPV from PJ HQ. From what em remember, when i ask my sales girl, she and her manager said that my road tax is only 530. ( i'm having my car on 28 Nov 2008 ) There is no such thing that i'm paying extra money for the spare key. AA44, you should argue and clarify, whats happen to your extra road tax money, if you pay rm730 for the road tax. Get your money back.

Salam Drom,

Saya pernah menghadapi masalah yang sama...tapi pada P Kenari ( sebelum memiliki Easter ) . Masalah ne berpunca dari sambungan saluran getah dari aircon ( cam normal aircon, kan ada saluran yang keluar air ) malalui paip plastik di bahagian hadapan kaki penumpang hadapan tercabut. Cuba pasang aircon..tengok ada air menitis tak ke lantai penumpang hadapan...kalau ya...anda telah mengetahui puncanya....cari dan sambungkan kembali saluran getah dan paip plastik tu...Selamat mencuba..

Terima kasih kepada Enigma dan Azazza kerana sudi membalas.

Saya sudah pasti ianya masalah dari aircon sebab saya telah mengeringkannya dengan pengering rambut dan ia kembali basah setelah saya balik dari ronda-ronda di hujung minggu.

Akan saya rujuk balik ke SC minggu in juga. Cuma harap penyelesaiannya adalah mudah dan bukan terpaksa buka kerusi and karpet lantai untuk mencari punca masalah ini.

Kepada pemilik sekalian, periksalah MPV anda juga untuk mengelak masalah di masa hadapan kerana masalah ini terpencil di bawah alas karpet dan tidak begitu menonjol.

Good morning all.
About the remote key issue. I did made inquiry from Chery HQ when I got my car. According to them, there is a cut off date for 2 keys and 1 key associate with the car in end 2008. During the cut off production, some got 2 remote keys and some got 1 remote key. For 2009 model production, definitely will get one remote key and one spare key. For those 2009 model onwards, no choice. I hope this issue would not be confusing to car owners.

I agree with Drom, owners should check the aircon situation because the location is not noticeable. Thanks Drom for such info.

Thanks smliu kerana telah penjelasan u telah melegakan i. Cuma satu lah, pasal roadtax tu, ada yg RM550, ada yg RM730. I ada tanya kat delaer kata diorang yg CBU from China roadtaxnya RM550, dan yg CKD di Malaysia RM730. Betul ke mcm tu? Dan nak tahu gak, adakah yg roadtaxnya RM550 tu utk thn pertama je... atau sampai bila-bila. Kalau sampai bila-bila memang tak fair la... Member siap kata kami kena tipu coz katanya semua harga roadtax sudah turun... kami diam je la, malas nak layan. Any information?

No worry Busyra, road tax memang show RM730 tetapi u dapat rebate bila u bayar total kos kereta. Semua ni jelas dalam kos detail. For further detail, check back with Mr Lee sama ada rebate itu sudah di tolak. Road tax bukan turn, cuma utk buat sementara sampai March ini(semua kerata dpt rebate kan?). Lepas tu, ada turun tak, depend on JPJ decision on April; tak tahu lagi.

Salam and good afternoon everyone,

I had a new problem with my MPV. During this raining season, i just notice that there is a water leaking into bonet area. It is between back door and end of MPV roof.
Did anyone had a same problem as what i had ? Chery ALADO... is there is any explaination... ?

Last 2 week, masa i pergi service kat SC PJ, ada one chery owner faced the same problem. After several checking, they found out that air masuk melalui cermin back door. So kena buka balik cermin back door and kena seal again dengan gam. Tapi SC PJ tak buat sendiri, engage workshop luar untuk buatkan.
