High viscosity, expensive ATF fluids (designed for bigger engines and trucks) may not be suitable and will lead to overheat and rapid wear and tear. In other words, follow the service booklet and timed services and you should be fine. I've seen a couple of savvys around Melbourne CBD lately. IMO, with a bit more trimmings (eg. chrome linings) it can look as classy as a similarly sized mini cooper. i concur… family’s perdana has been going for about 220,000km without any major problems. regarding the gearbox rumour, it must be noted of the type of ATF fluid used.
