nice short review..
if wih extra picture su can make official topic already..

ps: when Potong wanna put CFE on BLM and Persona..
Vroom..Vrommm
*
saga...not gonna happen
the GB cannot handle it and somemore can the car handle that much torque also dn't know
the 1.6 FLX SE already fast enough with its 1.6L engine + CVT
put in CFE...that car will split apart...lol

persona.....not so sure...if persona got "reset"...thn possible
but proton already said the new model releasing next june isn't persona replacement..its a new model

eps is kinda shit
luckily did not implement on proton car
if wan put EHPS
that the best thumbup.gif

proton will not use EPS if they want the proton handling/lotus handling
becuz EPS reportedly have a delay....myvi, grand livina all reported say have
somemore lotus car itself doesn't even uses EPS....hydraulic ones still best

what proton means by global is that the car mean global safety standards
like 6 air bags...ABS + EBD...ESP...etc etc
if global specs thn its endless
but yeah..many ppl say if sold in germany thn it would be hard to compete cuz many cheaper cars there
but we'll have to see what they priced it when its sold overseas...not the price that we bought in malaysia cuz proton and perodua have to pay tax for the car as well...just not as much as other brand of cars

And that figure come from a 1.5tonne MPV with CVT. What will the figure would be if it's from a 1.2 tonne sedan or hatchback with Manual gearbox  drool.gif

Heard Proton going to make CFE variant with more power  brows.gif

Proton bashers sure cakap 'keep dreaming dude..'  tongue.gif
*
the only way to do that is to change the turbo chargers...the campro is unchanged
they will just change the soft turbo to a REAL turbo....but need time to research for the reliability of those true turbo that increase HP
didn't they last time acquire a few super charger...said for satria neo..wonder where did that go

@kadajawi
until now proton only said that its their 1st global car
they never said anything abt germany or any specific country
only said its a global car
usually global car mean its equipped with safety equipment that meet international standard
everything else are assumed by us...proton never said anything
i think proton is just to there to meet the international standard so that other ppl would be more confident buying them
proton mostly sells in australia and egypt...especially in egypt which saga is a good seller there
everything else have to wait proton to announced or wait till they act

ps: even in malaysian market...avanza cannot stand a chance as well..ppl buy it becuz its a toyota not becuz its a good car
avanza is worst than p1 and p2 car....avanza is actually a cut cost car aiming for low income family(apparently not very low income)

Seems good... I am an innova owner and honesly I see proton did quite well with this car... But I will wait for some ppl bought the car and run it for a year to give comment....
I am just bait affraid their turbo engine will have some reliability issue.
*
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

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

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.
*
they can't...engine and GB are from toyota or daihatsu
those 2 company won't provide those 2 things for perodua to produce a new model
becuz it competes with their own model
this is the bad thing being under other ppl's company

I don't know about Toyota's control of Perodua and how Toyota is making money from  Myvi via Daihatsu joint venture but an improved version of the Alza can be done.
*
how improved can it be?
turbocharged CVVT?...dn't think so...that would beat any toyota MPV already
CVT GB? - dn't think so either...none of toyota model ever comes with CVT..i mean local ones
better handling? - toyota never cares abt handling AT ALL..even if they did...can't beat lotus
low price? - how is toyota going to survive
no matter how...an "improved" alza is not going to happen

Well, since most of you saying that is not going to happen than let it be, so Perodua will not make an improved version of the Alza and they are doom to the same boring model till the end of their lives.

Plus i did mention i am guessing/ only that Perodua may come out with a model to compete with the Exora. So my guess is wrong and do i get a banned from this?
*
they are and they won't
they won't becuz there will still be ppll buying alza for the sack of it's a toyota...typical
they are becuz they're not facelifting it with anything brand new....only the design different only...everything else will always be the same
at least proton have a policy of renewing a model every 5 years and 1-2 times facelifting it within that period(with new equipment and techs)

i sat inside, i must say, this is going to be a seller.

the only only thing that makes/break the deal, will be the badge.

but come on, those mature/old buyer should not be blinded by the badge.

get alphard if they wanna showoff.

but innova at rm100k is a serious contender, only rm10k extra ( but innova interior very plain )
*
innova still far from this exora...power cannot win..even can win, FC will still be high since 2.0L
handling isn't as good
like u said..interior very plain..not worth the price
and innova isn't using CVT as well

With the turbo min has to use semi oil,no more mineral?

i think that one is the CVT cooler
this exora did come with 2 radiator
not rare...my dad's waja also got 2 big fans there
and proton has been using semi syn oil all along

Let's see how the FC will be.. if can get around Waja CPS FC then I don't mind to put this car on my next year to buy list though I only have 1 little baby girl biggrin.gif
*
the FC should be good cuz of the CVT GB they put in there
CPS still use conventional 4AT

Since it's an MPV, no point lightweight + high torque. Later will end up at longkang or terbalik upside down biggrin.gif

this is just to solve the "underpower" problem
next with pairing it with the sedan...it will go very fast...haha
engine already surpass CPS's performance

Test drove this exora bold, also heard the whinning sound too.. SA said wont be whinning sound during highway, just only pickup time. Just worried long journey also having the sound... haven't manage to test drive long way...

Pickup very very strong, just alittle bit lag, as not familiar with cvt maybe, dono when is the kick in...

Also i have a question, anyone fixed a boot cover for their exora before? As don't want the items in boot so obvious to be seen... that SA said just lower down the rear most seat to cover the boot  rclxub.gif

icon_question.gif
*
that whinning sound if not wrong is the turbo kickin in

Just came back from test drive. I cant complain about the delay because honestly i can hardly feel it, in fact at the traffic light i almost hit the car in front because the sudden surge of power.

No arguments about the turbo, fuu power sial...
*
i dn't know but previous saga FLX also have delay
they changed 3 things thn fixed already
1.CVT pump
2.fuel hose
3.extra CVT cooling hose
so u can ask if they fixed this few things

Test driven the Bold Premium today, got armrest.
I've test driven the FLX SE 1.6, the delay is still there. I read in The Star motoring today a review for Exora Bold and FLX SE, the author say use L gear to eliminate the delay, dunno true anot.
*
should ask SA got install replace/install these few parts in stated be4
because those part that i stated are recall parts for saga for the delay
some member changed it and the delay is kinda almost gone already
L gear not so sure.. but L gear is used for hill climbing....CVT's L gear is totally different than 4AT's L gear

the SA didnt say anything.. its purely based on my experience.. as being said earlier, I THINK ITS THE CFE.. it maybe true, it may not.. may i know why are u asking this?


Added on December 26, 2011, 2:50 amdoes anybody here could provide the maintenance cost for EBP? kept asking the SA, unfortunately he didnt hav one.. he didnt aware of whether the service item is the same with the previous exora without the CFE.. overall, he didnt know anything about the maintenance schedule+cost.. tongue.gif
*
the turbo is supposed to be kickin in @ 2000RPM-4000RPM
so its already kickin in when u pickin up....you'll kinda hear a whinning sound
CFE is just a name...its actually campro with turbo bolted on
and the increase next year....its not they cannot bear anything...its government policy....its a tax...every car brand also need to increase or absorb themselves
