Petron is not Petronas. They're the only ones with widespread Euro 5 diesel availability in Malaysia at the moment.

 

Can I know where did you get the information that Petron has Euro 5 diesel in Malaysia? I look at their website and there is no mentioning of  Euro 5 diesel.

say if I clock 300+ km every week in average and pump petrol about S$80 in average per week.

50 % city and 50% expressway .Driving a 2litre petrol car , not really heavy footed

 

... so if I change to a 2 or 2.2litre diesel car  , do I get to save much on fuel to the extend of going only once every 2 weeks ?

For a 2.2 L diesel, you need to clock at least 2000 km. Your road tax and diesel tax will be prohibitively high...

Can check out these youtube videos. I have went to Komoco to see once. But not really explored thoroughly. But the HK version in the youtube seems to be very similar. Same rim and trim. Except for the center console which I believe Komoco has fitted a touch screen with GPS locally.

Having test driven the car. I find the car a bit under powered. Also experience a bit of engine noise at below 60km/hr.

 

What do you guys think ?

 

Will locally fitted display means some buttons will not work ?

Yes. I find engine struggling but it is just by hearing and feel that acceleration is slow. Not sure if it is due to poor insulation as I didn't observe the rpm.

In contrast, no sure feeling on a slower forester NA and CX5.

Don't think it is the insulation. The engine revs but the car struggles a bit to acceleration.

 

For forester. The interior quality is not very good and lack tucson feature level.

Yes. I like Tucson design and equipment. Most complete. The engine is disappointing. And not sure why they didn't bring in the 1.6 turbo. That will make this a winner.

Cost and also turbo engine is made in Europe.

 

Lower Road tax and better HP. Sound good.

 

The double clutch transmission may present maintenance issue...

The dual clutch is a new 7-speed unjti developed in house by Hyundai-KIA. The jury is out as to how good and reliable it is lor...

Almost all Crossover in SGP are under power maybe minus the Forester GT.

Nevertheless, we buy them for their high seating position and space.

Yup. Where to find an SUV with rear aircon vent at such pricing?
