Penang George town show room, black unit..
It's huge inside.. fittings are good..

But i feel the meter panel is a bit small..

The DLR

[attachmentid=2788639]

maybe you have option to on and off it... see this



one should be fog.. another is what?  might be the drl lo...

but question is.... where is the demistifier controller? auto on when on wiper?

Ok, after molesting the car for almost an hour, here's my thought.

The good:
- soft plastic on dashboard n also front doors.
- design looks ok to me
- speedometer looks ok too
- comes with some greenish tint
- front seats are quite comfy, back seats too. Definitely better than persona back seats.
- price n specs, no complain
- nvh is great, engine sound seems minimal
- lots of place to put cups, although I have no need for so many
- boot space is huge, I can crawl in

The bad:
- shiny gear knob n shiny fake wood trim, gonna be full with scratches
- drl, when it's on, red light at back also on. Why like this? Or maybe the sa don't know how to open
- back doors plastic trim is hard plastic, why front soft back hard??
- leg room is good but head room not good, I felt inspira is better on this,
- back bonet, why feel so light n soft? Crumple zone? Felt like my myvi doors, light n soft
- doors, I felt like persona doors are more solid. Maybe it's just me

Gonna test drive again on Tuesday, cheras kaki who wanna get this car pm me, I can give u the sa number, good service. Wait me till 9pm

Leg room is ok head room not ok, talking bout rear. I compare with the inspira beside it, rara had better head room. That's me, maybe other ppl felt diff

I don't have the exact measurement but more or less the same, at least I couldn't notice any significant diff

One more thing, when the window wind down, I can move the plastic trim, is this normal on every car? Wobble

Legroom don't think can compare to Elantra la....

Short , 168 hair touching dy, maybe I'm spiky

in waja i sit got space 3-4 inch.. very high roofline...

Extreme la u, lol. Definitely better than persona

Longer body, perhaps?
Not all humans are proportioned alike ma

Really? I felt persona head room are the worst in proton aside from neo of coz. Like I said maybe it just me, diff ppl diff seating style

Bro, constructive complains brings improvement ma. Brits are lousy car makers, all kena sapu lol

neo "racing" car.. cannot high roof line...

I ask this q in inspira thread before...  Answer is "this is the way it is...  Like it or not...."

Agree if its just the meter cluster.
Thanks for the review.
Looks like the for the cons, Aircond maybe new so hard to move?

4. Will be biggest issue for most people. One way to rectify this is to add telescopic steering wheel so you can seat further away to not hit the centre console.

sorry..what the hell is side light??

its because of the refresh rate is different..any thing be it a tv if u record or even ur florescent lamp pn will blink wile being recorded

Must open small light to use led? heard that if u switch on the rear fog lamp it will turn on.. I rather not switch on the side light to get the led running..

Notmally theres a 'switch' at the side of the light indicator.

I drove a waja. So many of the comparison is base on that car. So here is my review abit:

Exterior:
Nice exterior. Saw 2 color, red n white. Red is similar to Inspira red. White is way better. Boot space is narrower than my waja, but deeper in, so its kindda look smaller. Car door kindda solid from outside. But from the inside the rear door close sound is not really that good. The door is also abit hard to close. Maybe just need to adjust how much force is needed. Abit not fair la coz i comparing to the force needed to close a door of a Camry. Maybe a bit more sound proofing at the door will help...

Interior:
Plastic.. everywhere.. to be expected of newer gen car tho i guess. In comparison a waja door has soft touch plastic n cloth. You feel good putting your arm on the cloth when waiting in traffic jam. No luck to do so in preve. The dashboard design is nice. Plastic on it was so so. The top dash plastic looks nice tho. Steering abit small compare to my waja. Meter cluster is nice. HU looks like an after thought coz the color doesnt match the rest of the dash. Also i so damn hope they have option to change the HU language to english. Its all in BM right now. The aircon at full blast is not as strong as those in BLM but still ok i guess. Thank god they brought back the normal aircon vents looks. I always hated those bulat2 one... Font on steering wheel looks cacat. But should be easy enough to ignore. The steering height adjust is kindda awkward. Its placed on the left side and looks horrible and al cheepo. The waja one is much better and is at the bottom of the steering hidden from other ppl view. To deactivate the passenger airbag you need to use the key and poke inside the  glove compartment. The one on the dash is just an indicator. Speaker is ok ok only compare to waja. Might need a pair of tweeter maybe. Seats feels ok, no complain. Head room ok, no complain. Rear speaker deck is moreeee plastic. And last but not least i find it weird that all 3 of the car i saw has problem opening the rear door from inside. Since the car is new non of the SA know why this is. Child lock already disable. Maybe there is some other central locking control somewhere....

Engine:
The starter motor i think is a high speed version. Sounds good. Still can hear when rev while idle. Maybe on road will be diff. The rev sound feels no diff then an NA car. No turbo heard. Not sure its normal or not. Maybe will be diff on road as well. The engine intake seems abit restrictive but im not an engineer, so what do i know. I trace the piping and saw after the turbo, the intake piping goes to the intercooler that sits right at the bottom left of the engine bay. Its just a tiny one. Not sure how much effect it will have in cooling the incoming charge. The piping itself after the turbo is wrap in some kind of rubber'ish insulator. After the intercooler it goes back up to the engine bay and enter from the rear of the engine. Cant see the exhaust side of the turbo. All shielded. The air going to the intercooler is from an opening on the left bumper. But what worries me is that the exit passage is just a few slit of hole at the "banana leaf" exiting out to the left wheel. I sure hope the thing dont fell off and roll over in the tire well. I've heard scarry story when this happened in waja. The radiator design has only one huge fan for the whole radiator. If this fan kong, you better pray hard coz you going to get stuck by the road. I would prefer if there is 2 small fan instead of one. From the engine bay i could see there is a front arb and a front strut. The exhaust diameter is large.. maybe 2" i think. Exhaust tip ends on the left side pointing downwards but hidden from outside. The finishing of the exhaust looks like an after market one rather then factory fit. As a result the bottom of the car is not really flat. At one point you can see the exhaust sticking out a little bit lower than the rest. I not sure what is it avoiding.

Overall acceptable.

Booked one for myself:
