RM180 for the side, depend on the material used. Expect to be done within an hour or two.

Hi guys...
Not sure here is the right place or not to ask this.  icon_question.gif
I am planning to get a car and considering SAGA FLX exec CVT as my first car.  thumbup.gif

Would like to know what should I expect if becoming a Proton owner.  hmm.gif
For a car with this price range, will it have a reasonable comfort (space, air cond & wind sound)...safety and good maintenance...plan to have the car for 5 years.

Im not a car person and usually drive between 80~120...not really mind the top speed just want good acceleration...and dont like headache dealing with fixing the car for at least the first 2~3 years  rclxub.gif . Will FLX meets my needs?

I used to have a bad mind set of proton and would like to change that and wanna know if its worth to try...because my other option is Vios E spec/Honda City....which IMHO, dont think for a 1st car I should spend a lot ...if possible. Also I only drive on weekends.  whistling.gif

Hope can have some of you guys opinion....  icon_rolleyes.gif

space - plenty

air cond - on hot sunny day, only fan speed 2 is sufficient to cool the entire cabin.

wind sound - a bit high when approaching 80-90kmh, but there's a cheap solution to this problem.

I will not guarantee you getting the same, problematic free (mechanical wise) car like me but I can say is usually proton problems are all related to tiny mini stuff, like my horn switch its burnt for the second time now. sleep.gif

Oh, BTW, I accidentally made a wide corner at KESAS before COSE at 160kmh today. whistling.gif

Magic part is, it doesn't twitch, it doesnt fight back. It just graciously complete the corner and by the time I reached the corner exit, i'm already doing 165kmh.

Thanks for the info..  thumbup.gif
The extra hundred bucks will surely come in handy as long as didnt have major issue.
I suppose I could live with drumbrake sound...  tongue.gif

Yea...buying a car also depends on luck sometimes...but if the odds of getting a problematic car is high...i would rather spend more to have a car with less risk.
Although i would like to believe that plotong car now getting better and have better odds than before.  hmm.gif
Owh yaa...didnt really notice that until you point that out... the aircond is really cool when Im in my friend BLM  nod.gif

If decide to buy FLX, ill sure gonna ask you for the solution on the wind sound smile.gif

Wow...nice info  rclxms.gif

hmm...dont understand no.4?
But about no.8 ...If they give lifetime warranty because the quality very good is better than lifetime warranty because the quality soo poor.....id rather not going back and forth to fix the power window.

Anyway....great list there ...it sure helps a lot  thumbup.gif

Btw...what is the interest rate for local car?
*
wind sound isn't the main concern when you get the car. smile.gif
Its the tyre and tarmac roar that gets on my nerves. But now the problem is 60% eliminated rclxm9.gif

no.4- the FLX doesn't come with an engine cover. Not much of a problem actually, not like you will lose 10hp without t the engine cover. Ignore that.

no.8- if you use common sense, will a business give such long warranty period if the thing is known to be defective? smile.gif Proton is giving lifetime warranty for its power window as a bid to further assure the buyers that the famous power window issue will not happen. BTW< lifetime warranty means only 10 years because 10 years is the lifetime of a car.

that's not even elegant brown to begin with

and I didn't comment anything on that photo when you posted it the first time doesn't mean its funny. Posting that photo twice is downright disrespectful. You don't like it too when I say you're mentally handicapped didn't you? You keep on pointing fingers to person A and B saying them irritating but the fact is you need a mirror for yourself too.

your money your choice wad. I cant decide for you what to buy and what not to buy. I only recommend.

In case you didn;t do proper homework, pipercross is used in lots of motorsport, namely WRC, F1 and HK Touring Car Championship, all three which requires different types of filtration needs and specification.

Recently my FLX gave RPM surge during cold start, when starting up, the RPM goes right up to 2000rpm then drop to idle (near 1000rpm), I'm sensing the engine is starving for air-intake when startup?
*
yes

QUOTE(redshark_999 @ Apr 19 2012, 11:09 PM)
kinda common for a cold start, i think like u let ur engine warm up a bit if the weather previous night is very cold, until like reaches 2nd bar, then it should be ok. of course the surge and stall effect (engine jump) is just very minimal and seldom. rite?
*
yes
