I got it from a dealer in Bandar Baru Bangi, GA Trading.
Its a 2-tone EZ.

The only complain I have is that the wheel alignment is out. The car keeps
going to the right slightly. I`ve complained to my dealer and he says I
could ask the P2SC guys to fix it when I go for my first 1k service.

I also experience some slight screeching sound, although faint, its
noticeable. When the screeching sound is heard the car loses power, and
when the sound stops, only the car picks up.

I`ve been browsing for a car, 2nd hand, Wira, Corolla SE, as well as new,
Vios, Getz, Aveo. I did not even thought off the Kembara at first. It was
a last minute thought and I ended up going out to get one. The main reason
was its an affordable 4WD.

I still have yet to bring it out on a field trip, like to a beach, or up
the highlands. Maybe after my first service.

hmm... it sounds like a lot of people complaint about the wheel alignment
of KEmbara Dvvt... haven't they tested everything before pass it to their
customers ??

by the way, if such case really happen when you get your KEmbara DVVT,
could we go to fix the alignment without waiting till first car service ?

p.s: i am thinking to get a KEmabra DVVT after the announcement of the
excise duty... hopefully get to know more about this car before i book
one.. =)

p,s: how do you guys think about the power of this car ??? will it better
than Wira 1.5 (A) ????

Guys, first of all, i like join this forum...can tell and can share.
Thanks also to unker chip. This morning, one sales man bring me onto his
yard for car testing after he fetch me from my office. first he dont ask
me about the car, u know what!. Tidak kerja ka? Biasalah...
I test drive Kembara DVVT 1.3, DOHC, EZ vers, Auto. My wife
still 'nervous' drive manual. current i drive proton satria, modified,
running...erm quite powerfull. cakap pun tidak guna. Back to DVVT. he
bring me to his yard, a bit excited since this the second time i test
drive before plan to buy. Earlier i test Vios, i think the SA will tell
his fren, aiyaa this guy just hangat2 taik ayam only, eversince he never
heard anything from me.

DVVT's...
1. Body- Look macho, and tough enogh on rough roads.

2. Tyre - Aiya, sime tyre alpine..any comment guys? The EX model supply
with Goodyear tyre...any recommended tyre guy!

3. Engine - Fabulous, smooth baby engine, still new maa! same like my
proton on her erlier days. Revs...erm quite smooth.

4. Interior - The seat quite nice, the steering cant adjust one so for
short or long hand one, have to adjust the seats laa. front door only
coming with auto window, the behind one, macam biasa pakai tangan la. The
dash board, nice grey kaler...better than getz.. which like moon.. The
meter, for auto only came with digital spedo. Back seats, boleh adjust a
bit belakang, so mau tidur at back seat, carry on. i dont know the other
4WD. Although the back seat and the area a bit confine. But, mahu besar
spend more money la...beli bas kalau mampu, boleh lintang pukang sana
sini. Nah!!!! the audio, if you play siti nurhaliza song in the radio
sound (speaker) like akademi fantasia contestant sing her song, this
should be 'abang' punya stock clearance level! The cassette player, no
dics. Only kenari have (SA told), since they need to compete with Atos.
BTW, the SA told me the player cant fit with CD changer, but could any
one tell me whether the 'Perodua' brand can fit changer !!!!!!. If not,
have to find brand new one la. All the panel meet my spec, simple. Close
the door...erm a bit loose, you need to play hard with her. we cant hear
engine from inside. revs again, very smooth...belum jalan lagi.

5. Gear shift to 'D', we start to jalan. SA off the button show italic
style H, he said better on rough road. the petrol consumption a bit
higher if switch this button on. Apa that button? for what huh? press the
petrol, we start to move...the power was ther, not to bad, got pick up.
We potong merc, honda and toyota (all parking). I start to ask, why this
steering senget, bukan alignment or balancing lari ka? Ohhhh that one
aah! The factoy they just fit only la!!! seems like takda QC!. on smooth
n strat riding road, the car move pretty well, the suspension working
nicely. Again...i ask...u see this, gegar then i lepas the steering, mahu
langgar divider, this alignment n balancing lari kawan! SA says, he make
sure the car fit nicely before deliver...make sure huh!!! Base on my
experience, they will try to hand over the car to you soonest possible
and made himself busy, so make sure u check the car throughly. Tidak puas
hati, dont sign. Better test drive before accept. Back to DVVT. when
cornering, since i ride low ride satria, and corner maintain above 120
km/h. The DVVT, seems mahu 'tumbang', and i know this is 4WD and the
graviti area are high. But it runs soothly on the charp bend corner. I
think because of low profile tyre. The suspension, erm, i dont know other
4WD while cornering. No other sound can be heard from in side except the
voice of SA ask me to buy this car. On bumper also run better.

After....I can say, if everything run smoothly with my plan, i will get
DVVT. But to improve the ICE. Family car meh. I did ask for adapter for
other phone model, but the SA dont have any idea. BTW, chips!!! can we go
direct to P2 n ask for adapter. Since i using SE. So guys out there, if i
miss somethng, dont hesitate to t myseliGuys, first of all, i like join this forum...can tell and can share.
