I used to drive a Sunny, had about 10+km/l FC too. It was about 1 over years old. I think the newer sunny looks good, and i believe it was as comfy. My other...

hi peeps!....

finally will be collecting my sunny EX saloon this friday after delaying for one week...

anyone driving this model would like to share any tips/experience with this car? any comments are welcome...

ps: i still dont get it why some say it is 'an old man' car....i find the sunny classy...for those who are not that rich that is...

thanks amigos!!!

Ghee SG

styling is a very personal choice..... the external design is good, but I heard that this car is pretty high petrol drinker.... any1 wat to dispute this....... lack power too..... all because of its heavier weight. Very Happy

Joshua1975 SG

oso heard that after 6 mth or so lost of power even after the service. anyone?

sirlee SG

Agreed with Ghee...pertol consumtion quite high.Power wise still ok lah for a 1.6L car.Though i think the power of the car came after 3000rpm.But if u rev over the 3000rpm so frequently,I think yr best friend will be the uncle in the pertol koisk.

Perhaps u can try to fix the Airmax2 to yr car to bring down the fuel consumtion.Heard frm my friend say quite gd,though he crazy,ao install 2 of them...

Praetorian111 SG

Cos uncle always buy this type of car.... tat's why it is a uncle car... toyota also uncle car..... Laughing

Ghee SG

Nowadays, young gals love "uncles' mah...... drive uncle car... good de...... hee hee hee

Overall, toyota and nissan.....good lah...... honda and mitsubishi for younger generation......

alamak.... forget to mention.... most pple say becoz they are uncle car.... their insurance also lower.... becoz of the overall profile of the pple driving them.... they less likely to chiong!!!

brasilia94 SG

Sirlee,

heard that the FC is 11km/l
is that high or considered ok?

what the heck is Airmax2?

no_speeding SG

juz like honda, mit and subaru are ah beng cars?

Shocked

Joshua1975 SG

Wah..... for new car 11km/l is too high liao, old car still ok noe, new car anything below 14km/l is high.
the above number are those who ramp most or all the time, if crurising will be covering more km/l.

sirlee SG

11km/L is quite high.That's wat i think lah.

Airmax2 is a mirco-compressor that will force more air to yr air intake system,resulting in more power n torque.n also, save fuel..
power/torque increase, i think is abt 10 - 15%.Most of my friend install this or E68(same function) in their car n say quite gd.As for me i didnt install..No $...Ha ha...Cos i m saving $ for bigger 'Project'.. Wink

brasilia94 SG

thanks alot u guys...for the info...
so Sirlee how much is the airmax2? can last for how long?
gee....guess Sunny does have high FC...sigh....

brasilia94 SG

thanks u guys for all the info....appreciate them!
BTW so how much is the airmax2? how long can it last?

Ghee SG

brasilia94: I guess if you can maintain your Sunny to fuel consumption of about 11km/litre. That will be fine..... good

According to my friends who own Sunny 1.5EX Auto Pre-FL, the fuel consumption can sometime be as low as 9+ to 10+ km/litre....

Fuel consumption is also affected by your driving habit, travelling pattern, the load that you are carrying (eg. passengers and those things that you load in your boot)...

But fuel consumption is only one aspect of owning car.... the handling and drive comfort play an even more important play.... so enjoy your ride with your Sunny.....

Not to be too concerned of wat others say..... Cheers!!! Very Happy

Have anyone heard about the new Sunny that will be release soon? It’s already out in the Japan market. Originally known as the C-note. Supposed to be based on the Megane Hatch version. Thinking of getting an extra car for my wife. Thus waiting for the new version.

ceecookie SG

Wah!! the new model is out but Sad the 2001 model is nicer than the newer one leh.
My cousin has a '01 Sunny and when we looked at the nissan cars in the police acedemy,he siad that the older sunny is better compared to the newer model.

brasilia94 SG

Ghee:
Thanks for the wise words mate! i agree with ya.

so anything else anyone wants to share abt the sunny besides the FC? Any new sunny owners out there? Laughing

sirlee SG

No need to thank me lah.we come to this forum to share knowledge right?i,myself still learning too. Very Happy

Autodesigns is selling at $148.No sure if it include installation fee.U can call them @ 65665912.
Dun worry,i not salesman or work for them k?i changed my Spitfire sparkplugs there @ $68.Got $10 discount.Of course,tat time i go down to change in groups.4 of us...I think their service not bad.
Not like Autobac,they very suck up!

johncooper SG

yeah yeah yeah yeah me me me me me!!!!! _V_ Mr. Green

got 2 sunny Vips ... anyways dun worry about the FC, as long as you dun floor your pedal often you dun have to worry about things much ... i can achieve 530km/full tank so i dun see why not you ...

Andrianie SG

I just got myself a sunny ex saloon last week!
exterior - beautiful (partly becos its black! hee hee)
Interior - not bad (its black too! So look more sporty so pplz dont say its ah pek car)
FC - very true I think about the high consumption. I pumped full tank last Sat, clocked only 480km up til today and still going but not last click liao before it goes to E. New car some more, so very the high worrrrrrrr Sad

I will be contradicting myself if i discourage u to buy cos I not happie with the FC too but like wat was mentioned earlier,dont let wat others say affect u..... Razz

johncooper SG

Hey Andrianie, try to ease up on the pedal ... your sunny have CVTC, heard that you need to let the intelligence run in before you can have a proper FC .... *hope my 2 cents helps* Mr. Green
