heh, viviant is a bit too round for me. My fetish is with wagons Must tok bad about the car a bit, then nobody will buy, then the car will be a rare sight on the road but I really have this fuel guage thing, this one hopefully can solve quickly, it make the car like not very efficent since i pump full, its mostly at 1/4 mark. The wheel can pump when go pump petrol, the creaking sound is intermittent, sometime have sometime dun have, cd player wind a bit louder then cannot notice already. air con not cold, I think this is more generic, I sort expected it right from start, so no surprise.

oMG, how long did it take since new for that to come about ? but its false alarm or really boiling ? but IMportantly is you must love the car, then all defect is like acceptable

[Jacque]

I think within 2 months or less than that... Overheated in Malaysia cos Jam. Had to turn off the aircon. Everytime we ran into a traffic build up the temp meter rises like crazy .

 

Found out the Vivant 1.6M has only one fan whereas the Vivant 2.0A has originally two!!!

 

Was so furious! Starsauto has sinced installed the second one and so far seems ok. Has fuel gauge fluctuating problem too! One minute it's full, 3 minutes later it's 1/4 tank! Had that fixed as well....

they should seriously either review their fuel guage and probe parts supplier, or look into the assembly line on the people tat does this fuel guage assembling. I wasn't really angry, just feel that the qc could have been better. so your car has stable down already I presume. Then its time to fully enjoy driving

For my car, I only notice that some difference when drive and after drive.

 

When drive, it changes very minor, even I drive 150km in one short, I didn't see much drop on indicator.

 

But after you start engine next time, it drop nearly 1/4.

[Chevro]

I hear Vivant engine is ETECH I, is that so? How about FC?

[Nerd_on_wheels]

I dun know, drive time can be constant as well, but at 170km mileage, it show somtime 1/2 tank, sometime 1/4 tank or less, not healthy. start engine also inconsistent. sometime more than 1/2, sometime 1/4. but one thing is for sure, my needle hate the full tank mark. I think too date, i only see it full for like less than 5 min after I pump full tank.

[Chevro]

For sure it got problem. Mine is not like that.

16" 5ZIegen

 

.http://www.5zigenusa.com/w_fn01rc.html.

 

+ Falcon Fk451 tyre

1.3k. Reasonable ? or can be better priced ?

[Roboto]

Nice rims and tyres.

Dono price of these.

But make sure you get correct offset.

Should be about 40.

PCD 114.3

 

Tyres should be 205/45-16, if i'm not wrong.

[Nerd_on_wheels]

I got a feeling the rim won't look nice on a wagon, its more for the sporty looking cars. but Its highly desirable as its only about 7kg, which is in line with some 15" rims. so far i been checking out only 15", but was quoted 1.3k for 16" with tyre, so dun know if its reasonable, thru never commit into installing. Wagon base car are mose suited with more heavy duty looking rims. But if I know the price is alright, its well worth the consideration.

[Roboto]

But I think we got a sporty looking wagon, so should be with sporty looking rims.

[Nerd_on_wheels]

izzzit. I feel this car is more towards sturdy look rather than sporty. The 5zigen rim is light because of the thin spoke it uses, exposing a lot of the inside. But lucky its all round disc brake, look nicer but this few days as I travel around rim shop, car mat, this car got a lot of approval and good comment from shop uncles just by looking at it so happy. Even audio shop people is like, ohhhh, never see this car before, all come browse browse. But almost everyone gets a shock when they hear the price now waiting to see anyone can advise if the price for the rim and tyre combo is good, then I will go ahead.
