And it should be km/h, not km only..

Staffs are not supposed to talk about company secret, even if they know about it.

Wish I have the time to test drive it today..  sweat.gif

Not secret since they announce themselves of these models. Even if it is for prototype only at least they should know about it.

Well known but not official. Even for the Exora CFE, if you ask any SA (or even your neighbour Proton staff) before the official press release, they won't tell you about it.

Not necessarily true. My sa gave me the brochure for flx se a week before official launch and even let me test drive the display unit 2 days before the official launch / public press release.


It is true though most sa know very little info about the new cars simplybecause proton have not pass down much information to the dealers. Even i knew that proton was shipping out the showroom units before my sa found out.

Those SA who knows nothing doesn't have the initiative to korek info themselves. Keep on rely from Proton punya Sales Training slides only. sleep.gif

Yerp. I don't think the detail about future product is secret. Especially, if Proton already announce about this product to media press. In fact, it always good if SA can take extra mile and explain about the future product. But of course, with right information.

0-100 in 13s doesn't sound terribly impressive, but the review does. Reads a bit like my experience with the VW Touran or the Ford Galaxy... just without the huge price tag. (Mh... the Touran did 180 with ease though, the Galaxy at least 160 with ease).

Base on Proton Edar specs, Exora Bold did 0-100 in 11.3 sec.
Don't know which one is true rclxub.gif

Mh, I'm a bit disappointed by the lack of ESP and more airbags (ESP in a car this hight would make a lot of sense, and more airbags for a family car too), but then again there is the price, guess you can't expect too much.

And yeah, Proton needs to get the brochures sorted out before releasing them to the public. It's a bit embarrassing.

The matter of the fact is

In that class and that price, the engine and gearbox is unbeatable by any other make in Malaysia

I have test-driven one this morning at Glenmarie 3S center. I managed to drive on a windy road with slight uphill and downhill (it somehow like a 'jalan belakang' road). To my surprise the handling is superb! at least superior than my dad's Chevy Nabira. I don't think EPS is really needed. The setup for the steering is already good. Not heavy nor light, just right. You can really feel the torque. There's sudden urge of power when reached 2000rpm. The NVH, is the best among other Proton I believe. Very quite even at 100kmh. I didn't even notice that I already reached that speed. Braking is very responsive. I just step a little a bit on the pedal and already feel the braking power to stop this MPV. The only thing that I dislike is CVT since I am a petrol head tongue.gif. I can almost have no feel that the car is moving. Thought this car is slow but actually it's the good NVH and no gear shifting feel. At the price tag of RM80k, Exora Bold is the most worth for money MPV in our market currently. If I have 3 children I'm sure go for Exora rather than Inspira. The only downside is the logo. If this car has T or H or N or M sure will be a big hit biggrin.gif Well I think Proton already gained their market back since the the launch of Saga and Persona. Exora besides the underpowered engine, the quality seems ok. Never heard any complaint. And now Proton has came up with CFE which solved the underpowered problem. Hope they will keep up the momentum. Way to go Proton!

I don't think ESP is really needed. The setup is already good. Well I am not a fan of ESP because I think it's dangerous (at least for me). Without ESP you can train your hand to be more firm. And yes, Proton should add more airbags to the MPV. Minimum 4 with optional 6 airbags. Is the brochure really an official one? I asked the SA they said the brochure will be distributed in a week time.

I have driven Livina 1.8 before. Somehow I feel that 1.6C CFE is more responsive. I think because of the characteristic of car with turbo is different from NA. The 'sudden urge' feeling is addicting tongue.gif

Not to forget that Exora is 'man' enough compare to Livina soft looking haha..

Another thing I wanna add is the third row seat. It's surprising me that I feel comfort sitting at the 3rd row. I am quite big though.

Ah sorry, I meant ESP (how Merc calls it) = ESC. That is the thing that stopped the A class from going turtle during an evasive maneuver and from cars losing control in general when going too fast through a corner.

1. Drive her Grand Livina into a ditch (you friend V12k may be able to help)

2. Claim total loss, insurance.

3. Buy Exora Bold.

4. Profit.
