I owned two new cars before.

MyVi for 3 years plus. The 3rd month i sent to tint. 50% comfort gold all round. Road block, kenak on the 3rd week. Stupid move by me. Sides and rear should have just maintained 50% and front at 30%. Had it fixed the following week and replaced to 25% front windscreen tint. And ever since, it passes block even though sides and rear still 50% gold.

Now i barely own the Persona for 24 hours. Just had the car out from the tint shop like barely 2 hours or so. Kenak flagged down by police. Say cannot see me. My tint (black) was 60% dark sides and rear. Front is clear but a bit reflect and it was 40% dark.

I went for such tint level cuz i saw my friend's Mitsubishi Triton with 50% all around is still very clear.

I know standard rules is max 50% sides and rear. And Max 30% front. But i have seen many cars with 60% sides and rear and still not that dark and passes the roadblock everytime like my mum's Kelisa.

What i didn't realised is that, Persona's interior is all black. Windows are smaller thus, "view" of the person sitting inside is more limited. So these adds up and made the tint looked even much more darker.....

Man... i never learn..... shit man... How now?! Sigh... someone please slap me. hahaha....

pumped in caltex ron95 just now (half tank)....engine sound different on high rpm/ @ 3500-4500 rpm when speeding @ 140-160km......sounded like smoother and quieter not so harsh

and previous BHP ron95 full tank can go up to 350km with 60% (city,stop and go,jam traffic,find parking rounding) and 40%federal highway around 80km/h to 120km/h and gear change 2.5-3000rpm.....

btw...must control my right foot,so that dont rev/floor down and speed so often...must take care of the gearbox since mine is automatic...

hmmm... i just bought a persona for a month ago.
1/4 tank only go with 60-80km...
i dont think this is a save fuel vehicle compare with myvi...
wat about the other owners?? just wanna know is it normal?
mine one is m-line 1.6(a)

i am still evaluating my FC. so far i can get above 380 with 60 bucks @1.8 (R97).. so far 8.6L/100km. this is bfr my first service.. now evaluating after first service.
the dashboard meter shows 7.2l per 100km. translate tat i should get 458km per 60 bucks.. lets see if its accurate.

i dunnow the meter accurate or not..but still i'm trying to get below 7..lowest i can get is 7.1l per 100km

the meter is never accurate de,my meter shows 6.1L/100km, but my FC is 8.3L/100km....

er.. has anybody gone to SC to repair the fuel indicador meter? wanna know if it can be fixed, and does it work better or not..

my fuel meter from 56km suddenly change to 0 (blinking) and yellow light appears..

u cannot compare a big 1.6 car with a smaller 1.3 car for FC..

meter is just estimation, dun rely on it too much..

dun forget u have time that yr car stops for traffic light etc, tat means burning fuel without travelling..

lowest i get before is after reset and drive on highway.. 5.5L/100km

it is normal when the fuel light indicator lights up.. it wont show remaining milage anymore..

btw, where's Ultima? this thread has reach its limit..

time for V6 yo..

who say?my persona SE RM65 can go 440km, my gf Myvi SE RM60 can go 400km....so your math...

your persona is just 1 month old only, havent run in yet also wanna complain bout the fc d, dunno why alot of people have the habit of comparing a 1.6 fc to 1.3 ,

mine also RM65 can go 450km++
m-line manual

my dad always tell me.. buy car di, still wanna compare FC. what you wanna do? either you sell your car away, get a better FC car or dont drive..

i was speechless =.=", now i hardly complain about fc di. lol. jus pump whn it reach empty.

hey...just curios, why over time the brake fluid will decrease???....the brake system suppose is vacuum system...and also my brake pedal is not consistent where night time the brake is hard/more makan where press a bit will able to feel the braking BUT during the daytime hot afternoon, i need to press more (almost near to the max level) in order to brake the car better.....and i notice around the brake reservoir (the container that hold brake fluid), there are some brake fluid coming out around the area.....i clean it, but after few weeks, the fluid stains is back.....and i even topup more fluid, but it will decrease few months later...

loong2020, i guess must have crack or leak somewhere. mine no topup lorr

Eh...common problem, mine also the same..
brader,

I went to SC for at least 3times to get the problem rectified..

I notice car porch has oil stain on the floor, thought it was engine oil leaking...Okay, went to SC for half day, then tighten the bolt..Come back, still the same, car porch still have oil leaking stain.

Went 2 SC 2nd time, thought it was gearbox oil leaking..check check no problem..check brake hose, takde problem jugak.. Found out it was near the brake reservoir there leaking, mechanic top up the brake fluid and ask me to come other day, need 1 full day for checking, suspect pump underneath leaking...

I knew it is brake fluid leaking(red colour, mix with dot3 brake fluid)
3rd time, i told them root cause is brake reservoir cap ...they claim one new cap for me..i haven't open up the bonnet so far, not sure the brake fluid level..

Still have few minor problem..no time to check it at the moment..
