Hi All,

Sorry to bother all the tai ko's and sifu's.
need some advice as i am keen on getting a cefiro.
i know there are loads of models like excimo, brougham, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0

currently i found a few cefiro that is year 02, 03, 04
sorry but can need some advice in this

1) FC for 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0?
2) maintenance?

FC, the 2L and 3L is about the same, in highway only 3L is much better. of course the you get more power in 3L.

2.5L only Japan have it, so anyone with A33 2.5L is also rare, and converted.

major problem, well oil leak after 5 years or around 90 to 100kkm usage, and A33 have the common suspension sound problem like the N16. A33 is sexier compare to A32, but more expensive. Interior i find A32 much better quality compare to A33, but A33 nicer.

Yes weikee... the what part to need to replace to get rid of A33 suspension noise? What is the reference price of that part?

mileage is bad for cefiro.. mine getting about 7~8km/L mine is A33 3.0.
Highway depending on how you run.. me always +/- 140~160kmh.. that's why still got unsettle "Saman":biggrin:

WOW.

That is bad (i'm talking about the summonses). :p

Thanks.

i go outstation every week. So i was thinking of getting an a32 for that purposes coz of safety. If the consumption was about RM 0.18 / km, i think that would be more acceptable to me.

Thanks guys.

Do any of you have the FC for 2.5?

my A32 30GV can get RM 0.17 ~ 0.18/km on 90% highway cruising at 110km/h. Just make sure it's not hurried and a smooth pedal.

I think a bit difficult for those driving 3.0.. a little press down the pedal, already exceed 110kmh.. while your RPM still below 2500.:driver:

i don't use RM/KM calculation is very hard to measure especially fuel price changes. I use KM/Liter, or per fill.

gor 100% highway i can get about 680 to 700km per full tank, about 62 liter before refill.

pretty good mileage, is it 80% highway? if is 50:50 is very good.
It is 90% highway at no more than 110km/h, or keeping the rpm low at around 2500rpm. Anyway, I noticed that as long as keep the rpm below 3000, the fuel consumption will be very good at 10~11km/l, at 90% highway la... That's why tekan til 130~140km/h the fuel consumption still as good.

Town use, It'll be around 9~10km/l , depending on traffic condition and pickup u want lo...

All these was during my car mileage at around 350k km, and it's stock without mod and no overhaul, Just Stock. Now it'll be different cos I converted to 2.5l

By the way, 10~11km/l converts to 650~700km per tank.

if heavy traffic the fatty normally go around 6.5 to 8 km / liter.

the 3L can actually be more fuel economical if drive highway, cayse @ 110km, it only at ~2200 rpm.
