anyway, i managed to get a Wira 1.6Xli instead, cost me Rm30k in Kuching. Overall, much much better than what the Wira 1.5 had to offer but sadly it is in Auto Tranny form but the great thing is that it has 4 speed tranny as opposed to the stupidly developed 3-speed auto for the 1.5 Wira!! Acceleration is much better, it spotted also electronic adjustable side mirror, but no flip function, over drive button, power and economy button, glass holder, 14" sports rims, rear disc brakes YEEHAAA!!. But the downside, the auto tranny gear box need intense care as I had heard most Wir 1.6 owner had their gearbox blown due to less maintainance. Best is to change the gearbox oil and filter together with engine oil everytime you send for servicing.

But this car has a weird steering feel as compared to Wira 1.5

i own an aerobek 1.6.....change the gearbox to perdana after gearbox kong for the second time....watch out for the gearbox la....dont use the overdrive to often....

 

[tks]

don't use the OD?? why??

one of the weak parts in the 1.6 autobox is the torque converter...damn teeth always hancur...leaving u wondering why u suddenly have no drive when u wanna move off from a traffic light.......urgh...

I used to have a 1996 1.6A at home, and I can say it was hell of a good car. It may only be a humble Wira, but she can run. I have been driving her eversince I got my license in 2001, and the car was passed on to me after my parents got an Iswara 1.5A in 2003.

The car felt very powerful, picks up speed and cruising is effortless. Stopping power is also impressive, thanks to the 4-disc brakes. She didn't feel like an aging car.

However, my parents decided to trade her in last month for a Waja, leaving me with the Iswara.

With that, I not only downgraded to a less powerful car, I also downgraded to one that is falling apart.

Before this, I already knew I had a damn good car in the 1.6A. Now I appreciate her even more.
