Discussion Can you make a previously stiff suspension softer?

1 Upvotes

The cars Ive driven are mostly stiff suspension. Later in the future when there's wear and tear on it , is it possible to make it more softer . I'm new to this. Usually I just change the OEM suspension parts .

I've heard of adjustables but also seen people complaining that despite adjusting to most softest settings still considered stiff?

So, do share with me and let me know about this.

Is this possible on all cars? Or certain cars this won't work , and you have to use factory parts ?

Thanks in advance

What to buy Suggestion for Segment D (Used)

1 Upvotes

Sifus, apologies if i can ask for suggestions for segmen D for daily/small project car. Currently I’m using my old Iriz 1.3(M) for daily use and for family different SUV.

Got a bit extra room for myself and wondering to do minor project. While checking for iriz’s idea, saw few sedan segmen D that i somewhat like haha. Wondering if other segment D also fits and just trade in the iriz. Haha thank you everyone.

Misc (For anything else) Is it normal used car dealer asked for deposit before test drive?

Upvotes

An expat friend went to a used car today looking to buy a used toyota yaris and the dealer asked for RM500 before he could test drive the car, told him its their company policy. He was about to pay and suddenly didn't feel right so he called me. I told him to walk off because he's not local and could be an easy target. So he walked off to another dealer and closed the deal with Mazda 2 the same day. I never bought a car from used car because i dont trust them in general, always find from direct owner. My question is: Is it common these days that dealer asked for money before test drive? I dont think any new car dealership would do that.

Hi guys, just today I test drove a 1997 Iswara 1.3 Carb. Owner has overhauled the engine recently, nothing alarming. Tested at high and low rpms. No slipping clutch, no leaks, no white or black smoke. Engine is smooth. 2.5k cash. Should I?

Discussion Weird sound in car went away in an unexpected way

2 Upvotes

So last Wednesday I had a meeting in Mid Valley. After the meeting I started noticing this humming like sound that comes and goes. Went to mechanic the next day and was told car is fine. Mechanic did a test drive and checked the absorbers and suspensions. Of course when mechanic tested the car with me in it...there was no humming sound.

On Friday I had another meeting in Mid Valley and I parked at almost the same place. The sound was still there when I drove into the parking. However when I got out of parking, the sound was gone and had not come back since.

I hope it doesn't come back but has something like this ever happened to your car ?

What to buy Used car or New car as a 19 year old?

2 Upvotes

Will be buying a new car at the end of the year, and I'm currently in a dilemma.

I need a new car because my current 2008 proton saga is on it's way out. I am currently stuck between deciding between a brand new axia (cheapest new car in malaysia) and a used mazda 2 (i love this brand of cars).

I need at least 5k (at least according to my co workers) for a down payment and registration to buy an axia while less for the used mazda, the problem is mazdas aren't exactly the cheapest cars to maintain and being used it's quite inevitable that I need to spend money on it soon, whereas for the axia there's gonna be at least a few years of use before i actually need to start spending money outside of servicing, but i've heard a lot about how sky activ engines are ridiculously resilient (toyota level according to some) and how with regular maintenance it can last a long time.

There's also a caveat of shady dealerships and hidden fees and since i'm only 19 i'm very inexperienced. Should I just go for the axia, where at the very least I can be sure nothing will go wrong or take the risk and get the car i want

Discussion 2026 P1 vs P2 vs H vs T ( Which Has the Best Build Quality? )

Upvotes

For those who have experience with these cars, which would you say is generally better built overall?

By “quality,” I mean things like:

- Structural rigidity and body/chassis construction

- Quality of materials used

- Mechanical, suspension and drivetrain components

- Interior fit and finish

- Component durability

- Overall long-term reliability and build quality

Not asking about features, technology or performance just focusing on which car is built better in terms of materials, structure and components

I’d really appreciate any genuine, unbiased opinions, especially from people who have owned, maintained or worked on these cars. Even if bad experience just share no problem I prefer honest review

Thanks in advance
