My family members enjoy the car so much. THIS IS NOT A RACE CAR, it weights 1400kg and is kind of compact MPV, acceleration (for 2.0) is acceptable. I service my car in Klang (Kapar tyre shop) using ENEOS lubricant and it never exceeds RM150 for normal service. Parts like suspensions/absorbers and such can be outsourced from Japan or Singapore-1 company in Kepong do cater this. Bodyparts? Windscreen? Windows? Clear windows? Xenon headlight problems? - please e-mail me at hishamjunaidi@mdb.gov.my or SMS me @0126043717 - I have source for bodykits with paintings and window visor too!!! U want English manual? Yes I have it but only for 1.7 model... Stay in group and we are safe, thats all. p/s:- In my life, I never pay extras for something I dont need, I never go for authorized dealers, they just make you poorer, there are lots of good workshop outside...My previous local rides also I serviced outside, a lot more cheaper!! warranty? it is just a marketing tool...hehehehe - JUST my opinion hi, i already clocked 9000km and so far so good.

I was quoted 119k but need to pay extra fro Reg 1800 and road tax/ins. Considering that this car came into Msia in 2004, will the condition still be good or any rust inside even if 0 mileage? Also the warranty is only 3 months. I really like the 3+3 seating. Any thoughts? Hi, I'm also considering the Edix 2.0. I was quoted 119k but need to pay extra fro Reg 1800 and road tax/ins.
