my mum's WAJA

On early October 2008, my mum shocked that her Wira was very thirsty compare with my brother's Neo during our journey to my mum's village at Wakaf Bharu, Kelantan. Journey from Kuantan to Kota Bharu take about 6.5 hours but on that day, take nearly around 8 hours because of traffic jammed at Besut and Kota Bharu itself. Wira is drinking 3rd quarter of fuel tank compare with Neo which only drink about quarter of his fuel tank. hish...byk nye wira pkai minyak beb....

On that day, my mum realized that she must sell her lovely Wira to new car. She really want to buy Toyota Vios J. Its true that the Vios is high taste compare with Waja. Well, how does suddently she bought Waja? haaa....wat reasearch punye pasal...

It is not worthty to buy Vios J compare with new Waja CPS which using new Campro CPS engine. The new Campro CPS engine produces 125 horsepower at 6,500rpm and 150Nm of torque at 4,500rpm as compared to the normal Campros 110 horsepower at 6,000rpm and 148Nm of torque at 4,000rpm. But, Vios J using 109 PS 1.5 liter VVT-i engine mated to a 4-speed Super ECT gearbox. Then the Waja CPS price is cheaper than Vios J. the un-worthty part are at the accesories which include on Waja CPS.

The interior of the new Waja CPS is almost similar albeit new interior trim colour, speedometer and Clarion head unit for entertainment. The most pleasing sight is the easy to read meter panel which has a nice illumination and good clarity.

The steering wheel has a nice feel to it thanks to the leather trim with a touch of aluminium-looking plastic. The seats are leather all around which provide a good level of comfort for the driver and passengers. However, the rear passenger seats were a bit too hard for comfort. The door trims are semi leather matched with the seats. The only thing that irked me was the gaps in some of the interior trim panels which I think should not be there after 8 years of product development of Waja. The interior fitting is possibly one of the worst we’ve ever seen.

traffic jammed at Gombak-Karak (Waja side by side with old City)

But where the test drive is concerned, with all those fuel wasting hard accelerations coupled with highway cruising, the car still managed to deliver almost 540km with still a quarter tank of fuel left in its 60 litre tank. That’s like almost 12km to a litre and we believe that if driven properly, the Waja CPS could deliver more than 600km. And it is true that, my mum's Waja CPS manage using only quarter of fuel tank during journey fom Kuantan to Kota Bharu by speed around 100kmph to 130kmph.
