I intend to drive this car to LRT station for work. Park P3-21A at station, then take LRT to work.

I take LRT and KTM to KL. When the electrified double tracking project reaches Penang, I take ETS to Penang instead of driving. Mid Valley, take KTM better because I do not need to care about car park.

However, there are times that I need a car, especially in suburban area and bringing someone to go out for food hunt.

My life will be same as the German concept of "Auto haben, Bahn fahren"

Get the CFE version. Only with this engine, you can see the true different color of Proton performance/tech.

haha, just kidding lolz.

In fact, if the mass transit is at least as good as those at Guangzhou, I will consider Park and Ride too.

Personally, if you are not going to get the premium variant with CFE, then better get a Persona H line instead. The car is almost as heavy as the exora, which had underpower issues with its CPS variant. I dont imagine the IAFM+ powerplant will do any better, especially with full load.

Just sayin'.

Yerp. 1.6 IAFM+ is just normal 1600cc engine. Add little and people can get a car with 2000cc car performance.

100 pages for a car which has not launched yet:P

I petition that the V2 thread is started by mat79 (don't forget to put all info in 1st post)

Epic thread should start by someone who's 'epic'. You achieved the Nirvana of FnF mr. mat79

If only I didn't buy waja cps last year, I would be driving CFE this year

aiyoh, so many ignorance people bashing this car at fb...

is like chatting with monkey

better come back to civilized place

and they will end up buying it at the end after testing it

day 2 at proton event sees they assemble more parts to the car. i hope they continue do so until the whole car is reveal at the end

More people booking P3-21A now

Dude, I could kiss you.

Thanks. Seriously.

I second the motion. Seriously a lot of informative post from him :salute:

On a side note, any news if there really are leather seats for the highest spec?

Oh, question: Anyone knows when the booking will close? Need to book asap

ha..ha..littlefire, prtn already supply u with euro4 engine compliance since gen2 onwards even still during that time n now malaysian is on euro step 2 regulations. Thats why many decats their campros to get extra power, but at a cost of emmision coz of the engine design using cat as main catalyst besides other things.

Yup, u still can extract more with decat iafm+ n cfe, but not suggesting that coz cvt still has its limits, unless u r ordering the manual one.

For iafm+ manual, maybe can used cps extractor without cat(aftermarket@r3) coz it used the same size n diameter exhaust system. This been mentioned by one of the engineer, but still not encourage it coz u r polluting the air too much. So,better stay as standard it is, n prtn are really taken things seriously especially on warranty. So, to be safe, standard is a better bet, as he said. Dunno true or not :-).

Taken from mudah.my. I still hope it can be slighly cheaper.

ah, forget to mention, on engine side, a common notes is that power to weight ratio is about 80hp++ pertonne, the higher,the better of course. So, if u calculate, almost all common cars have around that figure. But nowadays, the trend is focusing more on torque,rather than hp, unless for a sporty variant coz more hp means higher speed, but sometimes also higher fc.

Just sharing info that i learn n get from sources.

Erm, yup,have the money, go for premium coz u get many things with small fraction of price. If not, just go for manual executive unless u dont like manual. Just personal view coz still loving driving manual, coz power in ur own hand, easy to maintain(of course, in any car, manual is cheaper to maintain), but most importantly,its getrag, smooth n slick. Unless opt for premium,coz have tip n paddle shifter.

But sometimes, when cought in heavy traffic, then always thinking it is better having auto than manual, but u can have both in premium version.

So,it matters of preferance, but in manual, really needs to rev to extract the torque, but in cvt, just step the thottle, engine is almost at it best whichever rpm u choose. Hurm, tough choice is it for executive. But if using dated 4at, then i urge to buy the mt coz u know how big is the diff of performance when driving mitsu mt vs at. Try urself driving manual cps n auto cps exora,then u know what i mean.

Added on March 16, 2012, 3:35 amone more to add, according to one of important man in design team, p3 look best in white coz all curve n slope will be visible. But still subjective. No wonder they put the white one in the box :-)
