i dun feel spicy.. only u felt the heat because so many other car is better then vios anytime...

This post just show the level of your intelligent. Car not even launch you already gave too much negativity. Typical Malaysian.
How to maju if this kind of 3rd world mentality mentality keep exist.
And your friend doesn't deserve to work at Proton since he doesn't even have confident with their company product.
I bet your friend just the type who love to listen cakap2 angin.

Vios with GT Wing
Resale value better than Ferrari
So p3 should have GT wing also.
Proton senior staff? My ass.

guys. i am a complete noob about car service cost. this model probably will be my first car i assume i'll be moving around 10000 km per year.

let say i reserve rm 1200/year for service cost of the premium cfe model. do you think it is enough? need your input.

demand oso higher than ferari

btw, i like this car meter
simple n nice

10,000km only? So little?
And RM1,200 should be more than enough. I guess the service cost at least should be same with 2000cc NA car (maybe less).
Not quiet familiar with turbocharge engine but if service cost is expensive, it will surely effect sales figure of this car.
One normal service normally should be around RM150-RM300 only.

I would like your friend to meet mat79's friend.

thanks. maybe more than 10K km. i can't predict now. i only hope the maintenance cost of the turbo is not too expensive. never own any car before, not even a turbo car

I think, best is the 2nd version that will come out (donno when). As proton love to reintroduce their car with extra bodykit and colours. Facelifted does look like their kind of game..

i think i saw GDI engine in malaysia...
and the owner use RON95 jeee...


possible if always rempit to the office 5 days a week...

Well, this car not using turbo engine anyway. Just normal engine attach with turbo support.
This car target market is young executive and middle income people anyway.
If service cost is too expensive, their target market surely will run away

You keep on saying first batch FLX got CVT overheat issue, which is a wrong info in the first place.

CVT warning indicator lights up for numerous reasons, not limited to overheat alone only.

more than enough
proton service not so expensive one like T and H
RM200 can do 1 minor service already...major service needs double that
more details can refer to exora bold's service since same engine and GB
but not sure those new gadget/accessories needed service or not though
but its more than enough

Do tell.

Should be enough. Maintenance of the CFE engine should not differ much from the standard CPS/IAFM. I currently clock over 80K in my Persona IAFM.

the turbo i dn;t think need maintain since its water cooled..but am not sure

it was due to faulty oil pump in certain CVT which causes lower than usual idling rpm which leads to potential engine stalling.

Added on March 17, 2012, 2:12 amFirst batch of FLX already comes with CVT cooler in the first place and therefore the chances of overheating highly unlikely.

ok one last noob question this morning.

normally tires how often do you change? every how much kilometers and what is the cost?

I stand corrected then.

But the fact that a new car would inexplicable go into safe mode due to this, and Proton sheepishly "recalling" these cars, point to a flaw in the design or implementaation. I also vaguely recall a fuel hose placement issue that would cause the car to jerk, which was part of of things rectified in the "recall" exercise.
