Cacat Produksi atau Kelemahan pada Toyota Avanza yang fatal

[Sithlord]

About that " beban kejut " as the reason, itu juga ngak make sense. It is reported that the Avanza in question is not even close to her 7 seater capacity ! So beban kejut apa ? Juga belum di jelasin ?

Bung Ruthndul, when I mean luar kota 1:8, itu ke puncak yang tau sendiri, penuh dengan climbing yang perlu tancap gas lebih dalam, dan juga ada macetnya.

But I am very sure, if U take the c24 to a place like Pekalongan, ngak ada gunung yang perlu di manjat, dan smooth sailing all the way, I yakin rationya bisa lebih bagus lagi !

Cuman selama ini saya belum pernah ajak c24 ke jarak jauh yang jalannya smooth, free flowing traffic dan level, no climbing !

In my opinion, its simple. Dalam kota saja bisa hampir 1:8. Luar kota ? All cars will perform better, much better !

Dan anda pasti ketemu a member of the Kijang racing club guys ! But don't worry. I already know, mesin Avanza no matter what still more modern than the kapsul's machine ! U will win 100% of the time !

Mau hukum dia ? Challenge him to a duel in tol. Gue yakin Avanza lebih stabil dari kapsul di atas 100km/jam ! And when he " somersaulted " jungkir balik, U tinggal " Kiss bye " dia !

I don't know much about the Infiniti i 30, tapi seri mesin VQ itu sangar legendaris reliabilitynya dan performanya ! Kalau anda beli yang kondisi bagus, feeling saya anda ngak perlu worry sering rusak. Read this, tentang sejara seri mesin VQ dari Nissan yang sangat terkenal :

Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. 3.5L DOHC V-6

By Bill Visnic

WardsAuto.com, Jan 4 2006

Nissan's V-6 wins an unprecendented 12th Ward's 10 Best Engines award.

An engineer for one of Nissan Motor Co. Ltd.'s rivals recently groused, “You know, you really ought to call it 'Ward's 9 Best Engines,' because Nissan automatically gets a win every year.”

The comment was offered good-naturedly but with a twinge of frustration.

With a record 12th consecutive win for its landmark 3.5L VQ DOHC V-6, Nissan is making a case for the engineer's suggestion.

It has been a 10 Best Engines winner every year for some variant of Nissan's fabulous VQ engine family since the competition began in 1995.

As far as competitors are concerned, it really has become something like “Nissan's VQ and the year's nine other best engines.”

In a dozen years since the launch of the original 3L VQ DOHC V-6, Nissan has wrought numerous improvements and changes.

There has been the addition of electronic throttle control, variable valve timing and two major new variants: the 3.5L that for some years has been the smallest-displacement VQ V-6 for the U.S. market and a more recently added 4L unit employed in the company's light trucks and SUVs.

The matrix of VQ displacement and power and torque ratings is manifold.

Regardless of variant and model, the baseline VQ design remains the foundation for the VQ modular family's iconic status: microfinishing of critical internal surfaces, keen attention to balance and a priority for reduced weight for reciprocating masses.

For its 2006 10 Best Engines win, Ward's tested the 3.5L VQ in the Infiniti G35 sedan with a 6-speed manual transmission.

At 298 hp, the VQ, going into 13 years in the market, still plays in the upper strata of premium V-6s, generating a thunderous 85 hp per liter.

The figure, remarkably, is just a few horses short of the class-leading, direct-injection 3.5L DOHC V-6 from Toyota Motor Corp. (also a 10 Best winner for 2006), which launched this year.

Moreover, the VQ performs as if it were a brand-new engine. Ward's judges remain intoxicated by the 3.5L V-6's riotous midrange urge, which is palpably abetted by a manual transmission.

The power cascade is not confined to a narrow midrange window, either: One often runs out of road space (or nerve) before the VQ runs out of breath.

“Spectacular in-gear acceleration,” says one 10 Best judge. “And this engine has brilliant throttle response in any speed range. Authoritative power and torque,” says another.

It may be the grizzled vet of overhead-cam V-6s, but Nissan's 3.5L VQ V-6 still has got game – and plenty of it.

Judges' Comments

McClellan: This is still a nice package and a terrific engine.

Winter: It still is soooo good.

Visnic: So broad, so even, the torque flows like an opened spigot. Midrange almost any V-8 would envy. Throttle response still should be studied by everyone.

I think waktu itu siapa yang ketemu Murano ngebut lari seperti setan di tol cipularang, I think Murano itu pasti pakai mesin 3.5 ini !

As for Nissan maintenance, untuk unit tua, I tidak tau, tapi untuk c24 saya, gimana mau hitung ? Ngak ada problem, ngak ada rusak ! Just ganti oli and other routine fast moving parts !

I think maintenance akan mahal jika sesuatu sering rusak, no matter which brand. Tapi kalau mesinnya bandel, jarang rewel, seharusnya yr cost should be limited !

Paling penting saat cari i30 itu, make sure mobilnya kondisinya bagus ! Mesinnya ngak ada kerusakan etc.

Dan bung Ruthndul, anda ngak usah pikirin resale value lagi !

Mobil MEREK APAPUN sudah tinggal 100 jutaan, apakah masih bisa tahun depan terjun lagi ke 50 juta ? Even Carnivals don't do that !

Trust me, even Kia Carnivals sudah 100 jutaan, sudah stabil harganya dan peminatnya juga sudah makin banyak. Apalagi Infiniti I30 !

Just get a good used unit, dan enjoy her till U bosan !
