today, my dad drove all of us, minus my bro, to ipoh to get our new car, well, my bro's new car. dont ask why we got it from ipoh, dont ask why we didnt get it delivered, im just clueless about that also.
2 hours of drive from sp to ipoh in my x-trail was boring....2 hours drive back in the saga was interesting, and tormenting. interesting because its a new car, and i looked, studied the car in every possible angle.....tormenting cos the results was just as expected.
the seats are too soft, the back seat has not adjustable head rest, so if you got height issues, sit in front. of course, sitting in front would require you to put on even thicker ear muffs to save your ears from that shrieking campro engine. its a 1.3 litre campro high end model, with a driver airbag, no abs, and yet, worth the money, minus some little details, which i cant help but notice.
1. the seatbelts are weird, and cant be adjusted. driving the car in the afternoon taught me not to go near the seatbelts, cos they are hot, really hot!
2. the nuts are coloured for no reason, not coloured, stained. what on earth did this car went through before? rally to the top of the titiwangsa?
3. the speedometer are so freakin dull, and i hate the led display, oh c'mon, the gauges for the fuel level aint helpful.
4. the noise is piercing my skull.....i know its an auto. what i didnt know was that when the car goes uphill, the transmission is so stupid it keep shifting up and down for fun.
5. the radio isnt so bad, its a clarion, it even got a cd player. hmm, not so bad....then i found out it was a real cd player, so forget mp3s. u aint playing those in this car.
6. the doors sounds so horrible when you close them. instead of a solid absorbing sound, it was like "clunk". and the bonnet and trunk was even worst.
7. the door locks are so cheap, and almost impossible to open when you have oily hands.
8. the dashboard was kinda dull, and it had this huge open compartment in front of the front passenger seat, which might break your nose in a head on collision.
9. the glove box slanted open, instead of straight, so that was a waste of space.
10. the door hinges was full of grease....and they came in chunks the size of mother of all asteroids.
11. the clock only comes in 24 hour system
12. the carpets are made to trap cockroaches. they are like my cousin's hair, all curly.
13. the trunk opens with a spring system, which might work 50 trillion years ago. and they are so freakin full of grease too. and the trunk have this tiny little lamp which rendered to be nothing but to kill your battery faster.
14. the tail is kinda high when you stand near it, and it does look weird sideways.
so i guess thats it.......after day one.
14 issues on day one. the car isnt so bad eh? but hey, its not mine, its my bro's.
