Noisy tyres. Maybe I'm too used to handling my old Honda civic.
Mine is a 2000 model. It's comparatively cheap to maintain and fuel comsumption is comparatively low. A 40 tank of petrol can clocked 450km driving in Singapore city and 510km in Malaysia's expressway. My car has already travel more than 100,000 km and the engine is still at a healthy state.
It very funny to drive this car, but indeed it's very reliable.
Mine is also a 2000 year model. The only problem I encountered is the bushing and bearing in the air conditioner.
It's over 6 years now and the mileage has passed 180,000km. No problem so far. Still able to drive up to Genting Highlands with full loads and 4 passengers. Fuel consumption is still very good at 480km for a full tank of Octane 92 unleaded (blue label). maintenance lost is very low. Good car.
