Dear Forumers,

Please advise which car do you prefer to buy if you were me...

a) 2nd Rexton
or
b) New Proton Exora

Help me please..thanksss

Exora underpower.

good luck with rexton..

if u want rexton..i can give u a few contacts
but frankly speaking...it's not a good choice...
no offence..
i have a lot of rexton owners want to sell their rexton at a high price...which is not easy to get lolz

as for exora...many people say it's underpowered..1.6 with big body

thanks for the advise..but how about the rexton spare parts?easy to get or not?hmm..underpowered exora..anyone else?

i always heard exora underpower but never from anyone experience it. Why don't you try test drive?

I'm pelik bcoz i hav 4 frens driving exora, non of them saying about the underpower thing, they only say the 1st few weeks still cant addapt to the engine style, when used to it, it's good n fun to drive...

How to define the power? Do u expect to drive the mpv cilok2 n cucuk2 macam sedan?

exora is gives a smooth sailing drive if u're just cruising...
driving slowly, turning slowly
a number of people says it's underpowered due to 1.6cc
not i say...
my neighbour is using one..so far so good...not much problems
my other neighbour is using alza..also the same..not much problems..
lol...

rexton spare parts got but the price is killing
being a diesel eater...a lot of parts if need to be replaced can cost u a bomb..this is based on what i've heard from customers...

i'm working in an authorized service centre... lolz

if the engine is ur prob. why not wait a lil bit more for the 1.6 CFE as in Exora Turbo. masyuk!!!

Owned a RX290 Rexton.

Parts isn't that EXPENSIVE if you know where to source from. Even authorized SC is trying to cutting off their customer throat, what more for those outside local spare parts shop?? Been went through overhaul the gearbox by authorized SC for 3 fcking times, end up buying a clutch plate worth RM68 (expensive lah) and got it replace by my own worker in my own workshop.. Been serving me so far so good, at least until now.

Fuel consumption wasn't that bad neither, a good full tank could get me at least 550KM, assume that i only drive 20KM away from my living area to my office.

Added on March 3, 2011, 7:49 pmAdd ons: By the way, i do not recommend getting a Rexton. As what howie said, good luck with Rexton.

I have 2 friend own the same car, same model as mine. One of them do not have any transmission problem like me and another friend of mine do.

Good news is, he's clocking almost 350k KM on his Rexton already, he's travel quite a distance weekly (Chemor > KL > Chemor > KL)

Exora for peace of mind and warranty

ermm..how about the handling for rexton?i've already test drive for exora,for me it is good enough..if i want to drive like crazy then should go for sedan and bikin2 itu kereta..

Turning radius is very wide, handling is acceptable, comfort is top notch (at least to me).

It really serves well as a SUV, just the older model of Rexton like mine has transmission problem. The newer RX270 has improve their transmission though The car is very comfort, a very good family car... Tried bringing 6 person on board and drive to Thai for a week holiday.

exora of course
rexton...parts expensive but most importantly fuel guzzler
exora new with warranty..so no need to worry abt problem
plus as far as i heard...exora is problem free...only 1-2 only

if you want save your money...dont buy la rexton due their spare part was very2 difficult to find in malaysia.....my friend had this experience when he's gear box broken down and need a .....k....so now he sells his car and change to hilux....so far so good.. says him..hahha

rexton gearbox problem..masuk kampung skit barai..pls never opt for rexton..diesel end of the day cost more than petrol head

new exora turbo will be available july/august

as Victor said, get the newer version of Rexton if u wan....
is different class though, MPV vs. SUV.....If spare parts is the problem for u, for Rexton, u can ask Victor....he knws alot abt it....

personally, my choice sure is SUV(4WD can go on any terrain)...more future proof, but bare in mind...insurance, tyres and roadtax enuf 2 kill u ald....FC wise, isn't petrol station got diesel subsidy card??

rexton attracted me too due to his low market price now + it is 7 seaters.

underpower because their cant own one.
