Getting my car tomorrow...... yeah.....

at last got my car...plan for a good trip this weekend...

Just back from penang. Having a nice trip driving there. The car was really nice and fun to drive. But there is something happened to my car. the first night in penang, suddenly my car cannot start. Test here test there, lastly found out that when I touch the negative battery cable, the car able to start. So I thought ok di. The next day it happened again. I then tighten it using spanar. Will as the SC to confirm whether is the lose batt or not.... so scary....

Hmmm.... I am not good in writing essay here. Hope the following is considered review:

First impression when got my car, easy to start, no squeaking sound, everything looks good. The car is fast considering is a 1.6 at rpm 1.5k onwards. I went to penang, the second day, driving at 90 - 110 is pretty boring. the car is stable. Cornering at high speed at 90km/h is gooding. Nobody complain on the aircond as it serve both front and back of the passenger. I thought that side parking will be tough as this is my first time driving mpv. It was simple with the help of reverse video camera. But at night the ISO tend to be too high... I can see alot of noise on the reverse camera screen. The braking system was good. In 1 incident at highway, the car infront suddenly emergency brake as the front here having long jam. I was panic but manage to avoid bumping into him... it was so near. Alignment wise, it tend to steer to left. Maybe the QC of the alignment is not that good in proton, but there is no 100km/h vibration as reported by other people.

That evening itself was a shock to me. The car somehow cannot start. Luckily I did read some forum that they mention someone car also cannot start, lastly found out that the car battery is not tighten. same thing happened here. I touch the negative cable and it work like magic. Then I thought the problem was over, but the next day it occur again. this time I tighten the cable and it didnt happen anymore.

I don't really like the lcd, as it uses FM frequencies. There is alot of noises. The seat is alittle bit hard, but my mum likes it. I prefer soft one.

On the way back from penang, there was little traffic. The journey was smooth, I can simply overtake car without really need to press the pedal hard. Of course, the max I go is 110km/h.

One question though, the radiator fan seems to keep running after I off the engine only on the first day. But it didnt on the second day onwards. Is it normal?

SA give me RM 100 and I refuel RM 50x2. penang trip I clocked 1027km. I dunno how to count. Still left 3 bar.

doesnt seems right...... cannot be that little ..... hmmm..... what went wrong... the SA told me they pump RM 100. I pump another RM 50 in Penang. Go around the island. Then I come back, another RM 50 at Sg. Pulai. Reach Seremban still got left 2 bar. When reach home my ODO written 1027. But I really light footed.

Actually I still dont get the SAT. Like not much difference also.... What is it for?

Thank you to all my sifu..... will try SAT tonight.... the car is with my wife now..... I can only drive at night or weekend ... T-T

lol..... by the way... I am satisfied with the car. It is so fun driving it.... only thing is that it is too big... maybe I am not used to MPV. but confirm 7 ppl seat in still can sprint.... 1 word ... syok...

My wife driving it happily .... I still drive back my old wira... my wira suddenly feel like no power di.......

Same here..... they give me syntium 800 and they explain the same thing. I email I-Care@proton.com last night and awaiting for reply.

Did your dealer gave you additional gift other than the hamper?
Mine they give me RM100 Petrol and a Smart Tag. The smart tag is given personally by the salesgirl.....

nope.... mine ok...

I prefer white.....

Kena..... somemore they straight put 10-40 one then only tell me... I confused with their explaination. later I call my agent . Then assured me if anything goes wrong with the car, they will settle for me. Proton icare lagi teruk.. I email them no reply one.

Mine ok..... not ok is the SC only...

me too..... so hard to control my right foot......

My car so far so good.....

sure or not? I better ask my SA

what sound do you all mention about....? Yesterday my car suddenly engine stop when idle. do you guys got such issue?

hmmm.... the issue is like this... I left last bar of petrol ( not sure if it is relevant) when I stop at shell station, there is a sound "tak" like a switch sound when the aircond need to get power from the engine... then out of sudden, my car like want to die off..... then the engine stop. then I try to start back is ok but while pumping the petrol it stop again. then after finish filling up the petrol it's ok.

The second incident I have is gear slipperage. this happen 2 times but according to my wife she kena few times also especially when she is reducing the speed to near 0.

Other than that I am very happy with the performance.... fan noise is manageable for me. Best part was some myvi want to cucuk me but failed.

RPM 3k on final gear is on 140kmh. Quite saving for highway drive.
