New Harrier Japan

[Ct3833]

Just came back from kl after business trip, you will not believe how stable harrier on high speed, especially once you cruise on NS highway. Comfortable and peaceful, it is the best SUV, bro,!!! Btw, the TOP speed is yet to discover, for now I only hit 155km/h.

Hi what car did you drive to KL prviously ? Like to know the relative comparison.

Travel to KL last month, at 170km the car still very stable and believe it can go to 180km without any issue.

ahh... finally.... after few months of thinking..... succumbed to the lure and temptation of the harrier....

 

i'm in the family...

hopefully can collect the ride by end of this month!

 

will need advise on how to maintain the pearl black paint work... any recommended car wash?

heard that black is one of the terror colors... easily scratched and have water stains.... but i believe i will be putting in some slight effort to send it to the car wash at least for the first year?     

 

any recommended car wash?

 

i saw some shopping centre having those cash wash, claying, polish,etc, services.

usually how often do you guys send it for claying and polish?

 

thank you!

Congrats! I can feel your excitement. If you cherish the paint of you new car enough, you may consider doing a protective coat. But that's if you believe in it. Thereafter, your car wash will be much easier.

 

You may start by checking out some of the companies here.

 

Good luck:)

Haven't used any paint protection coatings before.

 

Just wondering, will the car still get swirl marks after paint protection coatings?

 

First time owning a pearl black car... hope it is more forgiving than a black Harrier...

 

Previous cars are all silver...

Any car wash to recommend for weekly washes that won't cause too much swirl marks?

 

Thanks bros

The paint is less prone to swirl marks if you coat it properly. It'll be a bit of a challenge for you to maintain a black coloured car since your previous ones were silver. Be prepared!

 

I'm not too sure about good car wash services. But one thing for sure, I wash the car myself to prevent such swirls. Simple light soap with water. Wiped clean, splash and wipe dry:)

Harrier I understand will be stable at high speed. Currently driving the 2.4 older version & honestly its really underpower due to heavy weight. So I am not too sure on the new harrier with a smaller 2.0 engine performance on high speed. 

 

Btw, hows the sound system for Harrier Premium? Is it something basic 4 speakers or is there any amps & multiple speakers type?

Experts here, I made the second payment to the PI last week and money already credit into their account for my harrier. How long does the PI take to go LTA and register my harrier for new car plate? I thought very fast (go LTA, queue up and key in my vehicle information and the system will assign the car plate number immediately?, idk the actual registration process) Still haven't got my harrier! I login to one motoring site still show TCOE mean haven't register yet. Zzz

Dear Harrier Owner,

 

I would like to seek advised on following;

 

1. what is the waiting period to take delivery of vehicle after we signed the sale purchase?

2. How long the period does VITAS take to do vehicle inspection?

 

thanks

James.

It actually depends on the harrier stock (existing stock which is already in SG or brand new shipment of Japan), depends on the indent option you opt for will varies for delivery.

 

My case for some unknown reason take very long, way too long. I book in Mid August 2015, got my COE in first bidding in Dec 2015, my harrier only arrive in early December as mine is no moonroof with spare tyres option, reach PI showroom only in early January 2016, mid-Jan got approval to mount all the necessary accessories and change the two rear windows and went for VITAS/STA inspection and clear it.

 

BUT till today as of 11 March 2016, my harrier is still parked inside the showroom cannot deliver to me. Firstly it took 2 months to get the LTA inspection approval letter which mine got in early March then I make second payment on last Saturday, till now my harrier still haven't register for new car plate. My wait is 7 months and counting! Really **** up! Zzzz

So sorry to hear that... :(

 

Now just hope I won't need to wait too long... hope the PI can deliver in one month as agreed... really looking forward to it...
