just test drove cfe-ed campro exora bold..out of curiosity to feel what is soft turbo and driving mpv felt..

not bad..i might say,i just dont like the delay of the cvt and to me the unresponsive brakes..other than that..its quite ok..

a apple to orange comparison with my car..(240hp, 195nm tq,1350kg,manual tranny lsd gb NA)..compared to exora(138hp,205nm tq,1400-ish kg,cvt FI)

but the torque and curb weight is quite similar..

gua tak pandai guna flat toerque lagii .i like high revvings machine

other than that..its a good and solid build mpv..and good handling as well..and the nvh is awesome..

yang i tak suka.

1.kalau jalan jauh ,takda tempat letak tangan kiri.
2.tempat duduk keras.
3.cvt punya delay dan sudden surge turbo tu buat jadi tak smooth untuk city driving(congested).
4.takda feel..(fun factor).
5.badge proton

I quite satisfied with this new exora improvement with the interior..but as you concern..im also cant understand why they did not change that 80s style dial knob...really spoiled the looks and feel....yes,you are right..atleast persona dial knob design look more premium...why dont they just use it for exora...its will enhance the dashboard design...

Maby proton think its just small thing that people dont bother...but some people including me really particullar about that...but overall package proton have done the good job...this mpv is one of my list to consider...
