same here. sa said sometime in january... :|

im asking for the brown one. reason being. at least the seats and the door cards wont look so out out place...

any news on when we getting delivery for the car ?
i've paid booking fee, i've got a loan, but apparently cant proceed until the car is at the dealer , because the loan agreement needs the vehicle chassis number.
did your SA update you on delivery of the car? i asked proton on fb and they said its 2 months.

the manual and normal auto has a different engine, the much less powerful engine.
the cvt has the more powerful engine. and its the version that all the advertisments are harping about.

how many seconds do u think your engine will remain below 2k ?

wah, congrats

exactly. if they want , they can just tune the cfe engine for different flavors maa.. like how merc tunes its 1.8 litre turbocharged engine to offer c180,c200 .
of course, if proton tunes the cfe to produce more torque than what it is now. then the gb has to change as well. punch cvt3 can only handle up to 215 Nm of torque...

refer to :http://www.punchpowertrain.com/en/products/cvt/vt3

well?

Elegant brown,
SA offered me white.....but ,,we want brown...

timing belt can usually last for 100k, but you should change it once it hits 70-80k. if im not wrong,, timing belt plus labor comes to between 350 to 400.

i've been using the gen2 for years and my mileage is now more than 200k. never had a problem. as long as i service and change what needs to be changed when the time comes.

hard to say i guess. i do agree that in the past, their qc was non existent. but i've also noticed , since dsz took over. there has been marked improvement in all aspects...
so..

but i do have an issue with their sc's . hard to find a decent one. so, for my current gen2. i send to my friend to service. and to take care off.

you realize, the issues you raised on your review,, its not qc problem right ? qc would be, if after a week, the remote doesnt work. or the button on the remote is missing. not different color /size button just because you are used to the old one.

yeah, do share with us

agreed

byk sc operate on weekends right ? or, if you cant send it to prtn service centers. you can still send it to authorized service centers. the waiting time is shorter and i find the one i used to send to was a tad more reliable and faster compared to the prtn sc.

im still waiting for my car too. bugging my salesman on a daily basis... need the frigging car come february. looks like have to re-plan my daily logistics come february.. :|

optiplex, bukak thread baru daaa... or argue about this kat technical talk, under oil reviews.. debate kat sana... shoo-shooo
