Well if dat d case, I've to accept it dgn sepenuh hati la......
But I luv the 2000 rpm

erm, not saying the louder sound is good, but maybe they can do a little better engine bay sound insulation. Just something to ponder, have u ever drive pug 308 vti,pug 308thp or 407? When u r inside the car,it is really serene, quiet n comfortable, but when u open the door, go to the front, the sound coming from under the hood become an attraction,but never mind coz its pug with psa bmw prince engine. People around u also dont bother coz its pug by the way. But if in prtn car, sometimes we scared that people around will say, itulah kete prtn, bunyi cam kapal g ke laut,bunyi cam lori kind of a word.

For me,its ok coz hear many contis having loud engine sound, as long as inside is not loud, but still insist they make it quietier.

Anyone here booked Exora Prime?

Hahaha...yeah, just want to know why not many people book the prime 

is it because it just 6 seater? while the bold is 7

May be i remember wrong but I thought I have once sat in another Bold but don't recall hearing those CVT hum. Anyone having sat in multiple Bold to confirm that?

Has anyone here already got Exora Bold Premium?. It is almost 3 months and I am still waiting. It is more frustrating when the dealer is not able to give an estimated date of delivery. All they say is " wait, wait ".
Please Proton buck up on your service to the customers.

V12 Kompressor and others thanks for your comments. I booked my car at proton 3s center. I think I cannot change my booking to the other dealer. Not sure what will happen to my booking fee ?.
Karlbum, luckily I insisted on getting an official receipt for my booking.
I wanted to find out where this problem could be?.

Not sure, but according to exora club, SC say it will void warranty 
Congrats for your new EB 

hi,
  I new owner of the CFE EB. only clock 700kms so far. Compared with Alza, i feel that the engine and CVT noises are much significantly higher than Alza, but Alza road noises penetrated into the cabin more. During pickup or slow-down (decelerating), the engine and CVT noises are disturbing.

  Curious if anyone know any DIY methods to kill off these noises?

Hi Kristof,

This is pertaining to the CVT system on the Proton Saga FLX.

Is it safe to coast in N gear? Or allow the front wheels to spin at high speed in N gear?

I have been told that it might damage the CVT. Is that true?



No problem, as long as the engine is running!


So, I conclude that:

1.) It is OK to coast in N, still generally not recommended in any car because you lose engine braking and no engine power during emergencies. And IF you engage D mode while the car is coasting, it may damage your CVT.
2.) Do not tow your car with the front wheels on the road, unless your engine is running.
3.) It is OK to do on wheel balancing, as long as your engine is running.

FYI, the CVT oil pump runs on engine power, which is why you need a running engine.


Thanks for your quick reply. Here is another one:

When I Jack up the whole car, meaning the wheels are not touching the ground, and put the gear in D, the front wheels spins relatively slowly when I press the throttle pedal. This is different than my other 4AT car, which will spin at normal speed as if it is on the ground. Why is that?


Because there is a recognition on this, the back wheels are standing still, causing the transmission not to shift up, unless you press it harder.


No idea we had this feature in the CVT. Not sure what purpose it serves, though 

hmm.. y not we gather all the complaints and send to COSE.. whole bunch of 100 exora to cose and complain.. haha.. mcm mogok la pulak..see whether they aware or not regarding customer complain.. or else they never improve n do nothing.. masuk angin keluar asap..

sorry for looking like a noob

i saw a mudah ad says "NEW Proton Exora BOLD CVT 2012"

this CVT is it another name for CPS / CFE or a different category?

sorry again for noob question 

u made the rite decision bro. prior i was having difficulties of satisfying everybody in the family, choosing between mazda5, stream & rondo. thanked god eb came around. my kids love the space & dvd, wifey loves the leather (easy to clean) & extra aircond, me of course - the power, handling & extra features. now everybody's happy. eb truly is a family car.
