Have tested drove it, 2nd gear cvan do wheel spinning already, with red bird maybe 3 rd also can. But need to be lowered and brake system upgrade, found it to be a little on the untamed side on hard driving and cornering, Just my 2 cts - Others are great and alots of features. wait for it new redesign model and will consider to get it - maybe 1-2 yrs down the road?


Big bro, just add the UR bar when u get your new ride, then cornering become fun.

Precisely my point, smoke, and the 'blackie' area around exhaust. I have not seen this problem in Spore.... but really, the car will perform better when on Euro4 or Vpower diesel (avail in Europe) or Ultra Low Sulphur diesel (avail in Spore). Try it if you are down in Spore. We tested it on a 530d and the ride from Spore to KL is so good!

Ya, agreed with you 101% that if we have Euro 4 or 5 diesel like Spore and Thailand - Have tried it and It is perfect, but price was too much! It was lucky for us that this hardy Bosch injector in the Captiva still can survive with Euro 2 and so far, smoke to me is not an issue, not that black and smoky to polute the air and I think it is still more envirolmentally friendly that petrol fume. Hope Euro 4 will be in and hopefully at the same priced now Euro 2 @RM1.80 - Dcan still dream, cant expect more.
- Just my 2cts.
my tail pipes shine - blink blink - and not a dot of blackie and it runs on Euro 2 diesel!

yeah...definately with EURO 4 diesel it will be cleaner with the exhaust gas. but, someone have to double confirm. are those captiva or other diesel ride sold in Thailand and Singapore has DPF or not? if yes, for sure it will looks cleaner due to in-line exhaust filter preventing all the carbon emmission. interesting to know!!!

Look C look C - ok lor - still wants to touch it? Good bloody car but parts kills! Never lor - unless GM took control over the 3S.

Next week my 2 cars is going in to for repairs and claims on pending parts now just made available after some parts waiting for more than a year! Thanks to GM's Malaysia country manager help to push the parts in.

Anyone still with claims or pending parts - better make your move fast b4 Cergazam give up very very soon!!!!
Don't be surprised when you send your car for service at PJ Cergazam - you dont see Chevrolet signboard any more and replaced with Ssangyong signboard - Let see if this is going to be true? Hope Not!
