Do some short review here yo

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?

How's your FC so far bro?

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

the fan still running because of the watercool turbo. my guess is tryin to cooldown the turbo?

105l for 1027km... Ada 3 bar lagi... Dunno 1 bar equal to how many liter...

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.

Hahaha... forgot to add RM100 from SA...

I think this is normal behaviour of any campro engine...To cool down the engine or turbo maybe?
How long the radiator fan keep running?

its normal dont worry..my blm also got that function, just leave the car locked, it will stop until ur car cool down...

FYI saga blm also has the same function, it will depend on how hot your radiator is, the hotter the longer it will run. i tried full throttle all the way for 12km, when i reach home and stopped the engine, went inside, take a piss, and come out, the fan is still running.

258km

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

http://www.autoworld.com.my/v2/news/nb_det...=RT.ATC.CAR.BTW

A feature that is unique to Proton's application of CVTs is the Stepped Automatic Transmission (SAT) function that sees the transmission mimic the stepped gear shifting nature of torque converter transmissions. There are six pre-set ratios for the function, but like in the Saga FLX, manual overriding is not available. In situations where more aggressive ratios are called for, the driver is advised to move the selector lever to 'L'.

SAT is to simulate 6/7 virtual gears. the fuel consumption is slightly higher because the engine will rev higher before it 'changes' gear . you can imagine it as limiting the cvt to only 7 fixed ratios instead of the infinite amount of gear ratios that cvt is capable and famous for...
paultan had a video that he did for a saga flx that shows the difference between the two under a 0-100 accelaration

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

im getting mine this week. hopefully no major issues.

:| .
cant wait to get my hands on it...

OOoo kesian

If Exora's SAT is anything like the FLX's, then don't bother. I haven't find any situation where I need to use the SAT on my FLX. Maybe useful when going uphill, but you can always use the L gear instead.

once you use L you will find the SAT serves no purpose and rubbish in all aspect. Slow when going uphill and city drive can make babies throw up.

Oh wait can tipu orang when switch on SAT. You can point to the "S" on the meter cluster and tell people you car got "Sport" mode
