Well known but not official. Even for the Exora CFE, if you ask any SA (or even your neighbour Proton staff) before the official press release, they won't tell you about it.

Good car, right?

Now, how to convince my mom to ditch her Grand Livina and get this?

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.

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.

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?

not sure exora got armrest or not
but the new proton now i think doesn't come with armrest but dn't worry...aftermarket company sure will quickly made a few for sell

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

The L gear is just to engage short gear ratio, means more brisk acceleration, hence, the delay isn't noticeable.

no. that would cause unnecessary fuel wastage. live with it coz face the fact, the car come with 2 most lagging tech for current vehicle; the drive-by-wire and cvt. anyway its juz the starting of the acceleration though. i believe after that everything is super fine and smooth

ini your own statement or your SA kencing you one? lol

actually thats kinda subjective
IAFM and IAFM+ if not wrong is no difference..IF NOT WRONG
IAFM+ advantage is..it resolved the previous "tak tak" sound made by some rod inside

yes this achieved with reprofiled camshaft..can speculate that, iafm (manifold) has no difference..bit difference in head and programming (maybe)

anyway tested the exora, very smooth and good power, but got light whining sound..cvt sound?

yes, i know...iafm is intake manifold thingy..the mechanism of switching to long runner / short runner

but in paultan, got mentioned reprofiled camshaft is a part of the stuff they called iafm+...

so how you shift the powerband? i believe it is the work the camshaft..plus with the help of iafm

Ordered EBP..... hope can get before CNY

How do you expect a MPV boot to close? My Kangoo also bangs loud when you just let the thing drop, and IIRC a Touran isn't much different either. Just find the right technique to close the thing... for me it's lowering it until maybe 10 cm left, then pull up slightly, immediately letting go/pushing down a bit to close. Then the sound is ok, not too loud, and it's properly locked.

Unless they install a hydraulic system or electric motors to close the boot I doubt there is a lot they can do.

Hey, I have heard some people say 4AT is an advantage... proven tech, won't go wrong, easy to maintain.

how come some got lower interest rate than others? I tot the interest rate is fixed... no?
