yeah agreed, mention before even my jap cars can swap battery when engine running.. but he keep insist it's battery connector.. maybe it's a proton thing? 

i dont believe it..maybe only proton cars are like that...if this is true, everyone have to check their car battery 1st before driving on a highway..haha..

last night driving back to home at average 80kmh. suddenly 'pong' front left tyre puncture. i think i'm the 1st EBP owner tyre puncture, lol.

after i change the spare tyre (its really hard to jet up the car and the spare tyre is heavy to get out), i go petrol station check the others tyre air pressure, theres still have 32-34 psi left.

i check the door side stated there jz only need 31 psi. isit 31 psi really enough for a heavy car? then i jz pump all my tyre to 37 psi.

i will send my punctured tyre to trye shop later today. ask them to check for it and will update back here.

Last week, me encounter the same problem, my engine suddenly off. at that time my exora in parking mode, firstly the wiper suddenly on and after that check engine light up and engine died. after few second, my wife re-start and everything working good. me also wonder what happen at that time? waiting for 5k servis, current milage 3.3k and need to complaint sc. will update later..

wow, im getting my bold next week. the comments here makes me feels uneasy. so check batt connector first before driving out

I asked because a few pages back in this thread, this was the rumour.

Why would I want the mitsu engine? Because I like it.

ig u go to exora club forum, u will know other problems of exora.. mine got stuck in SC for 1 week now.. the cannot detect what problem.. and need time rectifiy it.. huhuhu

if they can't fix minor problem on exora bold then how they gonna fix the "Proton Preve" in the future?

ya...EB noise a lot higher. trying to work on something to reduce and insulate the noise from engine bay. Anyone has any good pointer for me to kick start? my main focus is the noises from engine bay.

was told Campro engine cannot tahan high temp. If i soundproof the hood, it might increase the heat trapped inside. do you think so?

for that price tag, i am very happy for now. Nobody knows the reliability and durability of this new car engine. you just have to balance out what you get and what you have paid. The next nearest competitor is Innova which has 30k extra to pay. Innova is obviously better NVH than EB in terms of NV. Handling part, i would say both are equal.

Space?..Innova slightly better, when needed, u can fit in extra person legally.

Power? you can get it from the spec. From the test drive, pickup from EB turbo is addicting. We dun have lots of long stretches of highway on Penang island, so i can't comment in details. For short range pickups, i would say it is better than Innova.

For me, i am trying to handle the NV parts. Noise part i am trying to do soundproofing, which might spend RM2-3k. Vibration part, maybe a basic chassis foam ranging from 500-1k. If i add up all these, it is still <5k. if i choose to go premium solution, that might shoot up to 10k (or more?).  So, it is still a sub 90k monster.

you guys are lucky 'cos KL has a lot of good soundproofing solution providers. We hard to get here. less providers, means less price competitiveness.

Handling not much different if you drive at Ah Pek speed and taking corner. But once you drive fast, I would say there are lots of different in handling. The Exora is much better.

i dunno yet. my guess would be mostly from the engine bay. I can't get anyone in Penang does this job so for now, my focus is mainly on the hood and firewall.

Any reasons why you oppose chassis foaming? wanna collect more details...

ya...i was thinking roof also, but we dun have heavy rain everyday here. so, i am targeting the parts where i have to face everyday. Doors will be my next focus. Anyhow, the place i stay, we are facing aeroplanes flying above us everyday, and we can feel the external vibration from inside..hahahaha:D

I was in my friend's Avanza when it was heavily rain. Surprisingly, i feel that Exora is slightly better in terms of roof insulation.

For vibration, how to detect which parts are vibrating? From your experience, which parts are mostly the culprits?

Anyhow this is the offer from PG SAs. The best i could get is RM1k discount + full tank petrol. If u in KL, was told in other forums that u can get 1.5k-2k discount with no free gift.
i remember read from some articles mentioning that Exora next new full release will be ~5 yrs later. Not sure on facelift though.

Have you guys test the DVD player?
I test yesterday, and found out it flicker so badly when car is shaking like drive on rough road or bump.
It flickr like tv when cannot get signal

Wiring problem, DVD player lemon or normal like that?

Things I noticed with EBP
I feel the slight rocking of the driver seat when you brake.
The engine RPM stays at 1 even when you stop at traffic lights.
The horn sounds like a ship
Remote control lock and unlock sounds are very soft. Sometimes you are not sure if you have locked the car or not.
High engine sound outside was expected. But it gets more louder when you switch your aircon on.
Anything I mention to my inexperienced SA . He says " the car comes like that "

I like
The space inside the car
Pick up in the low gears.
Sound system ( Good for the car price )
Stability of the car. Handling and braking has been good
Air con is good and i like the flow outlets for the 2 back row seats

I have not checked on DVD player. No complaint from my kids.

So far I am satisfied with the buy. What happens in next few months and how the SC service my car?..Wait and see.

Manage to test drive both EB and preve today ;p
EB not bad, i push up to ~160km/h on 'kampung' road and it didn't shake much (still stabil, even the road is not as even as the highway plus ;p) but it can't beat the rear suspension system offered by preve (multilink)...
But one thing i noticed...both EB and preve kinda sluggish at the beginning...it start to have full pickup when the RPM near to 1.8-2K....is this the behaviour of the CFE engine??? Anyhow, i found out that preve more sluggish than preve...hmmm...any comment guys...
