Those are actually either QC marking or tamper-proof markings. Nothing to worry. All new cars should have this.

dont have to recommend, wash your car by yourself when you can do it besides polish. the key to keep your car in its best condition is by whether the owner willing to sacrifice some time to protect it. i'll be meeting a person there end of august, come drop by if you are interested.

what's OPC?

OPC as known as Optimum Power Clean its a multi-purpose cleaner that can dilute to suit your needs.

for engine dilute 1:3 interior 1:5 for exterior 1:8

OPC is safe for clear coat too unlike acid degreaser that will leave whitish stain on it. power clean also can use to remove tar, bird poop, dirt, grime, grease and etc. just remember after brush with OPC must rinse quickly with a microfiber cloth. to see know more about OPC please read this link below.

So when using ONR, i just apply it and wipe it directly like using a glass cleaner? No need to rinse? Can I use that as my "weekly"/"bi-weekly" wash?

ONR means Optimum NO Rinse. doesnt require rinsing since its not soapy. no worries, meet up if possible. i slowly explain it to you.

Hi all, I was lurking for Inspira last week at proton Autocity Penang. SA offer me 1.8CVT RM 4k discount winthout 5 year waranty and free service with 2.95% interest for 9 years.If without RM4k discount I will get 5 year waranty and free service with 2.8% interest for 9 years. From what I read seem that some of you got better offer. Please advise where is the best place that I can get better offer and anyone know any promotion for other variants 2.0 and 1.8MT?Need help coz this is the first time I'm buying a car.

Am i bad luck?

I just took my car 2.0p chasis 6xxx series yesterday morning.

Then happily test drive... about 70km....

Bad things happen to me... the ABS fault shown in my screen... It require service....

then another 20-30 mins driving... the engine light also shown in my screen. I quickly send back the car to the SC near by Jalan Ipoh.

Walao... they dont know what happening after 30 mins... they have no idea with those error light.. (That time i havent read the manual book yet because i just took the car in the morning!)

After that they asked me to Center of Execellence main branch to check! ok!... I must go lor.. no choice what...

What happen is when i am on the way to this USJ there, the hand brake light show on the screen! this is third light liao.... I starting to worry and the celcius showing at the bottom of "D" mode is 46..

Damn hot wor... is that normal?

Finally i reached to main branch at 4 pm. They said must let my car overnight there coz they close at 5pm.... I need to take cab back to my house... WTF >.<"

However i checked the manual book at night and found i m lucky while the car safely send to that Center of Execellent! It is quite dangerous while i quite speedy around 100-130kmh because the car look fine.

This is consider my first car because i bought it my self! I really panas hati and very disappointed with "P". I thought giving another chance to them as ppl complaining their QC problems, but my self kena gao gao...

This happen in day 1... how they can ensure it wont happen again such errors.....

However, i asked my SA installed the auto lock and gear lock only which is not affect those ABS, engine things...

I'll be BLUNT also. (learned from Poadster...hehe). Please don't do such stupid test. Not only it doesn't means anything ( how far can go depends where you're going....anywhere from less than 400km in city drive to 900km in highway fuel challenge. It all depends on the route you take. No two person's mileage are the same. Some crazy people even drive until their fuel tank empty just to test 'how far it can go', (and probably killing their catalytic converter or something). The fuel tank is 59litre. If you always pump in say 48 litre when the lights up, means there is still about 11 litre in the tank. What is there to know??

What you should analyze is the fuel consumption in city drive and highway drive in km/l. You don't have to drive till empty tank to know your car's fuel consumption. Just do the normal fill tank up, reset meter, drive x km, fill tank up and calculate...x km/litre pump in will be your FC.

If you know your fc= 9km/l in city drive, then you can drive another 99km with 11l, if your highway drive is 14 km/l, means you still can go 154km on the highway.

Anyway, there's a reason for the fuel empty lights. It tells you to fill in before it is empty. Just fill it in...why wait! In fact, it's a bad pratice to let your fuel gets low. Streess your pump or catalytic converter or something. So just pump in before the lights up!!

Sorry to hear that. This is by far, the biggest Inspira lemon i heard....my chassis also 6xxx. No problem at all. What you should do now, i recommend:
1) Make official complain, WRITE IN, get a signed received acknowledgement copy.
2) If they can't fix it within a reasonable date, write in again.
3) If after third time still can't fix (or problem re-occurs after fixing), write in again to demand change to new car. Also write to newspaper like the star or Malay mail.
4) If they don't do anything even after that, complain to consumer tribunal court.

Document all your write in properly to shows that the problems since day 1 and attach also the service done by Proton SC for the rectification as proof. All these can be use to show your problem persist and since day 1. If you don't document and write in, YOU DON'T HAVE A CASE.

I hope you don't ends up like that guy at kiafortesucks.com

Good Luck. And pls update us.
