The headlamps are very bright, but foglamp does not help much, and too high, not sure can be adjust/not?
FC very bad, 24cents/km for first 500km, after clocking 1000km ++, average is around 22cents/km. Ron 95 used.
Handling is quite good, I think better than ori Wira with same tire size. Brake is very hard to press and cant stop well smile_tongue.gif .

new car's FC is always bad, run it for a few thousand KM, go for 1st service, then FC will gradually improved.

Personally , i think is due to the engine oil used .
When i first got the car ( like 2 weeks back) , a full tank can run me say 380 km for 30litre.

After the 1st 1k service , the SC change the engine oil to 20-50 spec , now full tank say 350/360 km.

the next service i would request them to use 15-40 .

Yea I agree with the brake comments. But so far brakes responded well for me , the only think i intend to change is the tyres. Currently is the 175/70/13 . Thought of changing it to 185 with 14'' rim, any suggestion where to get reasonable price rims + tyres?

Just tested for Genting road, 3ppl. Power is so-so for 1.3L car. Going up, most of the time kept for 2500-3500rpm, sometimes reached till 4500rpm for 2-3 corners, mostly 2nd and 3rd gear used. Quite slow compare to 1.5 Wira manual. Overtaken by 90% of the cars. Going down, brake is ok for slow driving, sometime used engine braking, 2nd or 3rd gear. The handling is above my expectation, normal braking ok, but for emergency, I dun think it is enough. FC, I think around 20cents/km from Kepong to Genting and back, 100km.
Now using Petronas RM69(Proton price). Wish can get around 16-17cents/km. smile_thumbup.gif

high fc when new is pretty common when new. needs a few thousand km's before it settles down.
