Hahaha.. the black smoke bomb is under controlled, at least under normal acceleration there is no black smoke on mine yet. It is the sudden acceleration before the turbo kicking in that cause unburn diesel to release a thick black smoke bomb.



then we should make a contest during our TT - who smoke the most on acceleration...hahahahahaha ( relax the throttle then floored it usually give the best result smile_tongue.gif )

From the spec, I noticed it do not has the following as compared to 270XDI which is quite important for a SUV. If the price difference is not significant, I would opt for one that comes with them. With 4 speed, I bet it is not going to be fuel saving.

Transmission: 4 speed, automatic
Electronic Stability Program (ESP): No
Traction control: No



I notice also it is almost 300KG lighter!!! and use 235/70 tyre. Met 1 of the owner at gas station, has a faulty gearbox. He bought it in late 2003 just a few month before 270xdi come out..he is searching for 270xdi halfcut.

RM0.18 / km for RX230's petrol engine is very good, hopefully you did confirm the figure is not from 80kmh at highway. Have not driven a RM230 before, so not sure how underpowered it is but if you are not taking Rexton for a rally or hill climbing, I think it won't matter too much. RX270XDI road tax is about RM1,100+ , how much is RX230 cheaper?

as byebye2u reply 2300cc is about RM680-00. yeah i also asked if it's underpowered then how to bypass (I mean potong kereta lain kat jalan) other car, he said just press the pedal, there are force accelerate then the gear will change. I forgot about this feature on rexton...tongue.gif

BTW one more sadly things happen to my Rexton, I've to bring my aunty and two of my cousin to visit other cousin in hospital, one of my cousin is short, so she has to step on the side step before can get on the car, guess what, she said she heard crack sound on the side step, the I check yeah, there are crack on my side step, why they made the side step from plastic maaa.... I've called SC asking the price of the side step, they said sidestep for Rexton 1 is out of stock, but I can install Rexton 2 sidestep, dunno how it can be done but then it's mean I've change both side, I asked the price, each cost about RM1900 each without labour cost. smile_cry.gif smile_cry.gif smile_cry.gif

Can we custom made the side step?
