ok. block you. XD

Today test drive the preve, and i will just cut the chase and straight to the point.

- initial acceleration from standstill is a b!tch. During traffic jam it will be pain in the arse coz one need constant throttle input in order for the car to creep to the front.
- powderful brake. Very powerful, and dusty too. The test drive car i driven has clocked around 80km and I can see the front wheels is slightly brownish now.
- door locks are speed operated. There's even a chime to "irritate" the driver to tell the front passenger to buckle up when speed is above 30kmh.
- paddle shifter is more for fun. "Gearchanges" are "rubbery" and has a noticable delay everytime the peddle is pulled. BTW, the paddle shifters works when the lever is slotted in D, S and also the middle of the +- section. When using the peddle shifter, in D, the shifting is more "relaxed", in S the shifting has a bit of jerkyness due to the shorter drive ratio.
- The gear indicator is a bit small, and not to mention situated at the bottom right of the Multi Info Display. Steering wheel is adequately weighted and gives much required feedback.

i tested too
but oni around rumah kedai la coz they hadnt registered the car yet..
and i felt the acceleration is farking slow, even with paddle shift
i tried to rev to 4000 rpm but the needle is way heavy..

my cps felt faster then the preve.. but maybe the NVH of the preve is too good and the body is too stiff that caused this.. doh.gif

on highway it will just accelerate beautifully. The test drive route I took lead me to a relatively empty main road and I take the opportunity to nail the throttle halfway down. The rpm shoots to 3,500rpm and all the sudden I can see I'm nearing 100kmh after a block of shops (approx 120m). I cant feel the speed until I peeked at the speedometer and in the car there's also an uncle which become the passenger. My SA and I picked him up from the showroom just to impress him. laugh.gif

When I am nailing the throttle, the uncle say "fuh, sekejap saja sudah lajunya".  sweat.gif

when you were accelerating, you felt like the car is very slow and quiet right?
i cant hear any road noise during the test drive which is very good yo brows.gif

It's sad in Malaysia, they treat Manual transmission as a shitty cheap option. Here worship Auto/CVT more. Blurgh...

LOL...for the 73k car people keep on finding the bad things on the car? Until welding also can be a issue for them? Facepalm totally to those...do they realize its actually a rm73k car? Why nobody go and check all the welding,material,door,plastic on vios or city ?

Like this the problem will never finish..keep on coming after welding issue,maybe say exhaust too big,button not nice to press,meter not nice to see,steering not nice to hold..LOL expecting like a rm200k car d.

Proud for proton lo got such a people actually doing all this and putting all the effort for their rm73k car  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif

Actually, this car is a good start for Proton, this is the one model where i can feel impressive and there is a lot of improvement in Proton. Pricing wise is good compared with other Vios J, Forte EX,Honda City.....
