The installation is also easy as Plug n Play (PNP) and PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) is also the same. Another plus is the OEM wheels are certainly proven durability than buying aftermarket wheels. Also the price is also affordable range of 3 million depending on the condition as well. The drawback is that we have to buy new tires in size with its wheels and also warranty on the legs also forfeited because it uses a different part of the original.

But behind all the advantages that this LCGC MPV car also has some problems. It is delivered by the user from the community Calya Sigra Community (CALSIG) which also recently formed.

Want to know what the complaint and also the solution, let's look at his review below:

1. The windshield fogged often at night or when it rains, it will certainly lead visibility and concentration while driving becomes impaired. This incident caused due to the difference in temperature in the cabin cooler. And also blowing air conditioning ducts that blasted much of the windshield.


+ To overcome this is to regulate the room temperature is not too cold.

2. Turn the machine less stable or limping, this happens because when done pengecekannya known that coil number 2 is not functioning or die.

+ The solution is taken directly to the authorized repair shop to be checked if this is the case, the sign is seen rocking when the engine is idle.

3. Tek-tek Sound of the wheel at the time of turn either left or right. This is most likely due to not using a hydraulic steering system.

+ We recommend that at the turn do not get too stuck or broken to avoid the sound of friction on the fender in.

4. The back seat is rather difficult to be locked and need extra energy to do so. This occurs because of the additional basic carpet so that the distance lock and clasp so tenuous.

+ The solution is to remove the rubber stopper that is located at the bottom of the seat frame for easy locking.

- Gearshift loud enough manual transmission both when going up or down. This is due because the distance around the pedal coping too close.

+ The solution is menstel distance around the clutch cable and adapted to the wishes of its owner. Part of this clutch pedal arrangement is behind the radiator bottom. Quite easy to rotate the section by hand to the left to shorten or to the right to extend

5. Waste Water Hose AC pointing towards the front of the arm so that it can cause corrosion if allowed to continue.
+ To fix can be done to avoid direct addition of drip hose towards the arm. Even though this is not a problem because the front arm also been coated with paint.

6. The gas tank leak-prone because it is made from plastic materials, leakage could occur when passing a speed bump with the car fully charged condition of seven passengers.
+ We recommend adding a protective plate on the tank, especially for those who frequently pass through damaged or used to carry a full load of seven passengers. Calya and Sigra should be limited to the contents ie weighing 500 kg to make it more secure and does not happen the above problems.

- Machine overheated because there are fake wind in the radiator. This occurs because of procedural mistakes at the time of filling water in the radiator so that the engine temperature to rise.

 
+ To fix this, recharge water radiator without having to drain the existing ones. Before filling recommend first checking the radiator fan is functioning properly. Recharge simultaneously with the opening of the air bleed cap (butterfly) and make sure the water radiator out.

7. Toyota Calya or Sigra explosive tire, it is submitted by a community of Calsig (Calya Sigra Community). Tires used on the twin duo are Bridgestone Ecopia and have occurred in five units Sigra and Calya. According to one of its members, the tire burst occurs when walking slowly and crashed into the sidewalk, at the time of his tires mebabrak slowly tersebutlah directly tear tuh.
