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.

they build the engine the SAME way...its not like oh for malaysia..this one made for euro 3, of this one for germany, tis one made for euro 5
"COMPLYING" mean can support up to
meaning if the engine meet the euro 5 standard...it can support 4, 3, 2 and 1
if the engine is euro 3...it cannot support 4 or 5
something like that
if u know software...you'll know what i mean
the reason is simply..proton doesn't sell in MY only
proton sold their car in many other country as well...which have better fuel and the engine needed to meet that in order to be sold there

Bro, u missing my point. The engine might the same, but the catalyze, engine management system will not be the same! Just read my previous statement why a lot of manufacturer bring in their diesel engine take out the Diesel Particulate Filter? Coz our EURO2 fuel standart have higher sulfer content, which will harm / block the Cat in long run! Have you seen the Cat design be4? That why Proton for sure will need to tweak the cat exhaust system & engine management to suit our local EURO 2 market. If not later after few years, i gurantee Proton quality issue will come out and complain : " Si pek no power at all" " Engine cannot rev, want to die when push trottle" then the road side exhaust shop will be happy tons of proton coming in to throw away their Cat.. 

Unless, after Proton launch this model. All the Petrol station also upgrade their fuel standard to EURO4 then it will be good to run! 

pls dont de cat, save our environment pls.

Cat can be de-cat

I dont think it's a big deal. So this car is almost perfect until there's nothing to argue but fuel grade compliancy

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

Yup, that is why no point of telling ppl that this engine can support EURO5 in Malaysia.. While our fuel is just EURO2.. If you de-cat, there is no more environment friendly also.. 

Proton Marketing people really have to learn the long way.. You can tell ppl this engine max can support EURO5, but due to our fuel is EURO2 we have degraded the exhaust system & engine management to suit out local EURO2 fuel which in long run will not damage it.. This answer is what i want to heard from the marketing ppl, but not bombard everything just to WOW! potential buyers... 

If i am there for the opening launch of Q&A, they will be in trouble on answering it.. 

but white is really hard to maintain
i saw some ppl prefer silver colour that is from the leaked pic
