People need to be educated about turbo cars....

Honestly, those uncles who buy the Preve won't care about how a turbo works. The moment they feel the car is slow when moving from standstill, compared to, say, the Civic, they will just tell Proton to eatshitanddie. Furthermore how many who buy such a large sedan is a petrolhead?

It's a damn shame, though.

lol..so the 1.6 turbo = 2.0 power is subjective (and bullshit) yea?

Once te car is up to speed, especially with the paddle shifters, the acceleration is satisfying.

Its getting there thats baffling everyone.

Correct ... like I said, you have to "manually" open the mirrors yourself. Wouldn't it be better if the mirrors just auto unfold when you unlock your car? Scared motor jam after every lock-unlock ar (hehehe, I remember this was one argument among early Peugeot 308 owners. Motor jam, how??)?

how lahhh, blue lagoon, have you seen it, is it nice?

JUNN: black wait 2 months or allocation for next batch which is unknown, blue wait 2 weeks.

I've seen it. It's not bad la, not my cup of tea but not ugly also.

Most importantly, get something you like even if you have to wait a while, because you'll be driving it for many years. Don't compromise if you can wait a couple of weeks.

Admittedly, that alone does not mean the gomen's protectionism policy is no more. Foreign cars CKD and CBU are still subjected to gomen approval on their prices. If the pricing threatens Proton, it will not be approved.

But the Ford Fiesta is nicely equipped and only costs 85k with DSG gearbox samore hmm.gif

Yep. Ford could've imported a strip down version at a lower price, but gomen not gonna approve. So they imported a car with better specs and price it higher.

Unlike Toyota, strip down price gomen no approve, so they hike up the price only but the car still the same.

ADD: jibai, why you remind me of Fiesta wub.gif wub.gif wub.gif

You are right.

But the bottomline is, foreign cars still cannot be sold as cheaply as Proton cars.

Bro, mentioned many times la, D is hopeless if you wanna go fast. Use S or "Protonic" mode (paddle shifters).
