thanks that's pretty good and looks tempting enough to had my old junk replaced

Yeah, i feel the jerking only when i brake to come to a full stop sometimes. But normal driving, slowing down, there is no jerking. Is that what qmeng experienced?

hmmmm..it is in "D" mode .....

i did a detail inspection on my car just now ... (just had my car few days ago), and seriously i m very disaapointed with the workmanship of proton.

i m very sure the front suspension has got some problem, when i drive over a speed bump (at low speed of course) it gives me a "klik klak" sound, thts 1

2nd, the roof... the cushion of the roof was so poorly assembled... it didnt completely seal off into the rubber at the edge near the window... i can easily slid 4 of my fingers in it....

it is bcos of proton or my always bad luck ??

Please elaborate more on what you find. For the front absorbers its because of a tight rubber and occurs after parking it for a while (cooled down), sound goes away when it expand after some driving. After few weeks or months the sound disappears.

For the roof, its the same for all even lancers. I recently tested nissan teena also the same case, fingers can slid easily into those area both front and back. Think it was designed this way for some cars, dun ask me why.

Other than suspension others are quite minor considering other problems you may get from the famous T & H brands... I used to drive a waja, full of issues? Maybe but the driving experience and the superb handling supercedes everything else... same goes to this car, the beauty of the driving experience and power delivery supercedes all the minor issues you will find. After all there is no perfect car. Not to mention value for money... Its the same a black dot on the whiteboard... what do u see? The dot most of the time and miss seeing the whiteboard...

Usually the suspension sound only first time in the morning..or end of the day after your parked the car whole day, after that no more after the first bump. If you get repeated sound EVERYTIME, then somthing is wrong with yours.

As for the roof...i never look at the roof....as long no water leaking, i no give freak about roof. Maybe i check later.

Matrix I think you are right .... braking smoothly right be4 your car completely stops, it will jerk awhile.

The beast protesting why u stop... kekeke...

Hhahahahahax !! Nice one man =D

This happens in my Waja (4G18) also and i believe all Wajas. When almost to a stop, there's a slight jerk as it goes into 1st gear, I presume. As the Waja is using INVECS II, probably the jerk is inherent to the INVECS software. I've been using the Waja for the past 6 years...no problem with the gearbox so far.

I remember reading somewhere that the Honda Civic has the same jerk as the car comes almost to a stop. Maybe Civic owners can verify this ?

no more "nyek nyek" sound for my car..maybe temporary.. Go to service last 2 day, told the mechanic about the sound, he spray something on it.. and the sound is gone for now.. dont know whats the part called..something like "bruis?" If im not wrong...is some where this area he sprayed...

The jerking thing is not really a jerk..its only that you can feel the gears downshifting... it happens especially when ur going fast and brake like immediately... i think it needs time to downshift too... though i've felt it..i think its not that big of a deal...

BUT...

u're the first to agree with me on this... my suspension also have that sound... it's not the sound that worries me..it feels like the suspension is loose... hence the klik klak sound.. like some thing loose lah..u shake and it rattles... it's not just in the morning..but everytime i go up bumpers... by the way..complained twice (1st and second service)... nothing done... Test properly on bumpers...go fast and feel the rear too... i think all 4 of my absorbers have that prob.. when i bring 4 passengers and go up bumpers, i can feel like the absorbers klik klak....

The nyek nyek sound still persists.... dunno what to do... i'll try opera33's method and see how...

Which SC and mechanic? But i doubt it's a permanent solution. Like my Savvy clutch, got annoying sound, spray WD40 and it gets better for a while.

Servis Mesra Kampar... is a small SC that reside in Petronas station.

maximum one week, it will come back. I did the same temp solution also last time at proton sc. btw, its the bush.

Go have it spray again when it return...lol... =D

the sportback is even worse, and it is CBU

well, if you dont mind waiting at the SC la....just to spray it....but i am bearing the sound la..only in the morning.....biasa dah....

Yeah.. used to it, think its not there already. Those minor stuff dun seem to interfere with my enjoyment with the ride now. Lovin it... hehe... If we are too critical over every small darn sound or issue (our senses become more sensitive when it comes to proton but thinks its ok when its brand T or H), then we will be forever dissatisfied person.

I'm not a proton lover but I think this is a darn good car... and paying rm30K less than the cbu version.

Maybe all the suspension bolts and nuts just needs to be tightened. Bushes making noise has been there since the days of the Waja. I had all kinds of sounds in my Waja....ngek-ngek, klik-klok, thaang etc. Sometimes just tightening things up will make it disappear. And i suppose the quality of the bushes is questionable too.

I just hope my soon to arrive Plum Red won't be as bad as the Waja. My third Proton

It's amazing how Proton still has issues with suspension noise.
