Penang got more stop and go, while KL is more like an endurance one.....

Sport mode in our CVT is manual gear mode tongue.gif (for your 2.0 its your flappy paddle gearbox). For us 1.8e its the initial D gear stick  laugh.gif . We don't have traction control anyway.

Mmmm...relatively speaking its a pretty weak air con for proton's standards. I heard that our compressor is bosch and not denso/sanden....

our aircond is from denso, same as per lancer

I dunno either...i think if 0 means best, you don't waste fuel...20 means your leg naughtly, waste fuel...hahaha...am i right?

That is your current FC (L/km) indicator.... when you press the pedal kow kow, the meter will be at 15-20 (L per km), and if you coast, it will read 5-15... finally when you totally dont press the pedal (like when you go downhill) it will read 0...

That is how the car calculates your average L/km... so the lower the meter (closer to 0) means the lesser Litre fuel per km you are using, the better the FC...

Our air cond must put higher...if hot day i will put it until middle point for a few mins then shift back to first notch

Somehow the aircond in 1.8 variants not that cold, as compared to 2.0P... strange... mayb thats another reason to get the 2.0...?? For 2.0P, setting it at 23 - 24 degrees oredi very cold...

Oh ya, the aircond vents are not very effective in delivering cold air... if not set correctly, it will blow the cold air directly to the steering, or way over the seats... thus maybe that's y you dont feel that much cold air too...??

2.0P temperature dial (the right one) have temperature in numbers on it... 20 degrees is at 9pm clock position, 25 degrees is at 12pm and 30 degrees is at 3pm position on the temperature dial... and there are some notches between them... so you can calculate the temp set...

Yet another feature 2.0 have over the 1.8....

Well, it's been 3 weeks today since I got my 'Lady in Red' 
So far done only 665km...haven't done any long distance driving. So far so good...no nyek-nyek sounds. Only a slight thump noise when going over a bump too fast. But I noticed when I've got passengers in the car, the suspension is quite noisy when going over rough patches or bumps.
The engine's not the smoothest around but I guess that's the 4B11 trademark 
Proton could've done better in sound proofing the tyre roar. Especially when it rains, the rain drops are really loud and water dispensed by the tyres are pretty loud too. Other than that, I hear some rattle somewhere...can't really point out where but it only happens when driving over bad roads.
Apart from the 1k service, I plan to do 5k and 10k service...just to give the engine a proper run-in and clean-up  thereafter I'll service at every 10k. I'm a low mileage driver...so I guess I'll service based on no. of months.
Nice car overall...just needs a bit of soundproofing.

Mine is usually set 1-2 notches left of 25 (indicating 23-24degrees lo)...

But the setting may not be the same as per 1.8... as setting the dial to the same position in 2.0 will not result as the same coldness.... i have tried it for 1.8, to get same coldness as mine, u need to put the dial all the way to 9pm position (20 degrees in the pic above)...

Try it and feedback....
