Its worth also if power windows rosak after 5 years with 10 years warranty. After 5 years replace with a new one and then it will take another years. Total up 10 years lifetime.

The most important is the resale value of the car. If you take Korean car, what if problem come  cry.gif  out after 5 years and you are unable to sell they car due to low resales value? correct me if i am not. Currently, i am not sure how is the resales value for Forte?
*
I wont worry much. Coz its made here. If other brand, poor resale, niche model, parts is hardly available. End up rotten.
If its local (minus Waja 1.8, Juara and Tiara- Renault), no matter how doom the sales, the parts should be available, easier to get, and continue to abuse. A good workhorse. Still saw a few 80's saga run around town vs, say, 80 Corolla LE.

Haha, hard to say. Old saga is rebadged lancer as well, they can stand alot of abuse. The same cant be say for post-wira proton cars.

Yes, previously really hate proton, but the P3 spec really impressed me. I have place a booking earlier with color Fire red on 14th March at the showroom before went to Bkt Jalil Power Of 1 event.

Feel disappointed after drop by P3-21a the Built up process for day 5 at the event.

Hopefully when the real car come out with promised.

I used to be very much against proton. Heh. Giving them a chance now. The specs for this P3/Preve is too good to pass up.

A lot of people prebooked liao. I also want!

Contemplation, contemplation laugh.gif

QFT. My A6 is a big fan of my mechanic's workshop. Dunno go in and out how many times dy. Bloody hell but parts for Audis are hard to find. Need to go around find half cut cars for best price/part ratio sweat.gif

On the other hand, my old iswara is still kicking with gusto. May not be the most comfortable of rides, but hell, it gets me from Point A to Point B. Rosak oso much cheaper to fix. Parts easily available too. And not too much of downtime in the workshop while waiting for parts to arrive.

Another QFT moment.


So, regarding re-upholstering the car...would that void Proton's warranty? Anyone care to shed some light?

Hmmmm...Read about the article as well. Don't have time to go and book liao sweat.gif

Still deciding between black or white. I like black. But reading the comments in the prev thread, lots of people say white will look much nicer. Just don't want to have the yellowing effect though. Or the constant need to wax as was mentioned by someone in the prev thread sweat.gif

So more inclined on black atm.
Lol. Want to teach others but...epic fail. Heh. Like the previous troll-wannabe who uses a car to measure success. I pity the fool. Are we that pathetic nowadays? We measure a man's success, prestige and worth by the car he drives??? WTH happened to our generation? Oh lord. I really feel sorry for them  doh.gif

ANYWAYS, worried because I'm afraid that there will be a sudden spike of people ordering and I have to delay getting the car. I'm kinda 80% decided on the car already. Would really love to test drive the car first though. But takut if wait too long delivery will take too long sweat.gif

Plus, I'm of the opinion that the early batch would be better qc-wise. Problems could easily be rectified via warranty.

I think. Feel free to correct me though laugh.gif

I'm putting my money on proton going all out to salvage their reputation. I used to be a hater. Untill I saw the specs of this car. Heh.

White is not metallic paint? I am still considering black, white or fiery red color.

So in the brochure it says the price range is going to be 60k - 70k, i reckon that's going to be the basic model?

Whereas the Premium specs ones, how much do u think they gonna be? around 80k?

Saga is basic model. Targeting to different income group. If they can afford a 75k car, they might also bought a vios or city previously. Not a Saga.
