i don't think their white can last for 3 years, i went to one of the showroom with car servicing. There are few units of white inspira queuing for services, the color has turn to yellowish color....

Silver also not bad, but the color too common....

i never trusted white color, can skip all the hassle of repainting work and money, i'm buying car video recorder, any ideas where to get it?

I was once a 1st batch of white mouse on the gen2, back then when the internet start circulate the gen2 leak picture, I was so hook with the design and book it even before the car launch and I did not even see the real car itself. It's was really syok and proud when i drive around town when ppl looking at my car as I'm the early bird who get it. But after second year pass..things start falling apart like premature ageing and i start to regret getting the 1st batch car....sigh~~~~~~~

Currently I'm shortlisted a few car for my purchase and this new proton spec, design and price seems perfect to me... but due to my really bad experience with Gen2.. I'm really in dilemma and afraid to getting another lemon~~~ Should I trust proton once more time?? dilemma dilemma dilemma...... Advise need here!!!

Wait for P3-21A hatchback.

Go ahead, this model is a new strategy for proton, they need to impress others already, they dumped many bucks into the research and marketing, our first batch review very important for them to survive, surely will give us the premium quality, i bet and i assumed.

white is nice
but have to wax often-ly
car DVR...automotive garage section alot
just search "DVR" there

will they call it, proton espire?

thanks bro! one kiss for you first

same view with me as well
certain ppl think 1st batch is white mice...i think 1st batch have better quality
anything wrong...warranty can back up

the gen2 thing...see whos behind only
that one is TM
this one is DSZ era already

I would think the first batch might have better quality, but it might also have design flaws which much more dangerous than quality issue.
Overtime, quality might be reduce but design flaws or common issue also resolve.

design flaw as in those electronic broken is it?
those can be backed up by warranty

Another proof that Proton only give oversea ppl better spec...

Australia spec..

The entry-level GX gets a naturally-aspirated engine and manual transmission, with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) available as option. The high-spec GXR will feature the turbocharged Campro CFE engine and will be CVT-only.

The CarAdvice report adds that the GX will come with six airbags and electronic stability control (ESC). The GXR adds on a leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters, among other features..

Now i know why ANCAP teorily can get 5-star, it got 6 air-bags!!! While we Malaysian only get 4 for highest spec & 2 for low spec + no ESC..

So now i can bloody shoot the Proton Marketing ppl de.. Coz confirm bluffing ppl.. The safety spec for Australian market is even advance compare to local! WTF!

Haiz~~~~ I knew Proton has improve lately( not sure about the after sales service though as the Ipoh main branch really piss me off last time)...but once bitten, there is scar and phobia will remain... My wife will gonna nag me 9 9 if I tell her tonight" darling.. I might consider getting the new proton instead of 2nd hand 407 or elantra "... Arghh...

Nonetheless, I will wait for the car in showroom.. molest it 9 9 and test drive 9 9 before decide..

407 is a good car. the interior

haha..yeah
and take your wife with u
and the SC...different SC...service also different...i know that as well
cuz my place got 2 SC..1 is eon and 1 is PE
the eon service pisses me off....the PE SC serve me well
if u'r in west malaysia...if not wrong, u can jump from 1 to another SC as u like
so if u dn't think this SC, u can always go to another SC next time

+1

Design flaw for example the CVT overheat issue in the early batches of FLX. Some may be harmless annoyances, some could be major inconveniences or even life threatening. Warranty or not, they have caused the owners grief and possibly bodily harm.

This is not limited to Proton, mind you, many carmaker have teething issues with early batches of new cars. It is not a QC issue.

I admire those who have faith in Proton and DSZ. But the truth is their track record is tainted, and that's a fact. If you say that their first batch will be flawless, I will believe it when I see it. I would gladly eat crow if I am proven wrong.

Yeah.. I'm almost 80% sure of getting a 09' 407 until I saw the recent spec and video of the new proton ( I'm fell in love with turbo car torque after i test drive 308T but due to lack of boot space, i have no choice to divert to a bigger 407)

oh no.... you make me worries now
