this is where many car manufacturer wins toyota...warranty!
if u scared the reliability of the turbo....and already bought it...theres always warranty there to cover it...long warranty
as long as u service at SC...you'll have warranty
how much warranty did toyota give...a VERY VERY short time only and to maintain that warranty..have to service at SC and u should know service in toyota SC is extremely expensive
so its all not worthed
and plus its not a turbo engine...the engine is normal campro...the turbo it bolted on...both are separate

uz test again exora cfe today..i juz comment here about the power and handling here..based of the video tat i snap,from0-100,i rev maintain 3k to 4k rpm wit SAT on,can hit 0-100 around 13sec wit aircond off..in D drive mode,from 0-100 can hit around 11 to 12sec wit SAT OFF(no record video,based on butt feeling)and aircond off too..from 50-140 onli need around 19sec(with SAT off) wit aircond on..i manage hit 150kmh during test drive..and the SA oso got fetch me to test the abs and handling..he drove to 100kmh and direct full press the brake pedal and abs kick in..the car still damn stable and juz need short distance to stop the car..he oso constant drive 70kmh and do the cornering like snake..i can feel the car body roll still under control and quite stable..after v go test top speed again..tis time can hit 160kmh..but from 120-160 actuali the feel quite same as PE(if v reali press hard too)..i oso test drove the saga flx 1.6 cvt..the power totally same as exora cfe even saga dun have turbo(bcoz of light body)..i manage can hit 160kmh(same distance as i test exora cfe onli can hit 150kmh)..as highlighted,the exora cfe was use GT radial tyre..

aku baru jer test drive tadi bawak bini ngan anak, anak baru satu jer. haha memang best la bawak rilek jer tekan skit tgk2 meter dah 80km/h. aku terus booking tadi kat proton edar baiduri auto ttdi jaya shah alam.

Well done Proton!

Move over Alza?

how can alza fight it?
power - proton has it..CFE..turbo
GB - proton use CVT - smooth, fast pickup, low FC
size - exora bigger than alza
pretty much everything exora > alza...can't fight

That's why i say move over Alza

yours got a "?" at the end...its a question..lol

Yeah, it's was a question where I kindly ask Alza to move over and go transform back in to a car. And let Exora be the main MPV.

dlm bahasa melayunya..
"nyah ketepilah engkau, alza"

English and Malay wordings in some sentence cannot be put into the same sense.

On topic please, so will i guess Perodua will come out something in return to match against the Exora Bold.

No, they dont.

Toyota will never approve a Daihatsu/Perodua which will compete with their own Innova.

I always wondered how P2 got greenlit the Alza since it was in the same price range as Avanza.

alza is way way better car thn avanza..i still dn't know why ppl still buy avanza

Nice review here

Turbocharged Proton Exora Bold tested

i dont think so, since what i know their father was Daihatsu, and daihatsu now are produce affordable and reliable maintenance car, (correct me if i'm wrong).
and yes daihatsu got turbo engine at past.

Because in Japan there's no Avanza but there's Passo Sette/Sirion Luminas so Perodua have the reason to assemble it here as Alza.

Avanza is part of Toyota IMV project which never include Japan as their market preference.

Just because the Alza is copied from Toyota doesn't mean that Perodua will not create a new model from scratch to go head to head with the Exora.

Even though i am much more of a Proton fan / owner but i will not take for granted that Perodua engineers and designers aren't doing something new to catch the consumer from other manufacturers currently. A bit of friendly rivalry is always healthy.

But what about the local market? from Toyota's POV there was no need to bring in those models since there already was Avanza here. Even though it is sold under a different brand name, isn't it pitting their own product against each other?

P2 have no in-house engineering and design capacity to create a car from scratch. All their cars are rebadged Daihatsus. The only way currently for P2 to compete with Exora is to rebadge the Innova from Toyota.

hahahaa... Perodua will NEVER create a new model from scratch. lol
They dont have that capability and even if they can, sushi people will say no.

Take a glace over Perodua and Toyota's vehicle line up and you'll know how Toyota earns money with the Myvi via Daihatsu JV at Perodua and at the same time how they protect their own interest in the Malaysia market.

Even the upcoming Avanza is going more "upmarket" and the price is at least RM10k more expensive than the Alza.
