200kph @ 5k RPM is actually good
engine noise won't be so high...FC also better since cruising high speed at lower RPM
if u see the RPM..he kinda rev it...if he rev normally...it should be lower

underpower proton....it actually doesn't mean the engine is underpower
its actually the A/C that is making the car underpower because when the compressor kick in, it take away quite an amount of torque
but that only applies to 1.3L at lower RPM
1.6L should be fine and 1.6 CFE should be fine
and another issue is the GB...last time the 4AT cannot change ratio...also contribute to the underpower/slow pickup/high FC
thats why they switched to CVT

newer gen proton(from saga BLM)..should be stable even at 150-160KM/H
reason?...thats the reason they uses HTS on the body
and ppl always complain why lotus ride and handling, the steering so "hard"(if u jump from T,p2)
because its meant to be that way....when you're cruising at high speed, hard steering helps....u can just basically use 1 hand to control like european car
japanese car...since steering so soft, need to grab the steering using 2 hand...and hold it tight like its going to lose control anytime

theres a reason its so coooold
because its never meant to be put into a sedan....thats why its sucking away so much power
the A/C if not wrong are meant to be put in lorry and bus.....thn they put that in a small sedan...thats why its extremely cold

mileage now 850KM?
why soooo high?...so near 1k service already

braking system one of the best in segment...go test
they say its better

that becuz they have T's DNA
and T's steering is extremely soft....u try driving over 100KM/H, u would have to hold tight
i saw T driver...even 60KM/H also hold tight using 2 hand already

agree....just got car yesterday thn 850KM
if he got the car already 850KM...thn can complain why mileage so high

price tag also no.1 among cheap car

i think u can actually...just go to your reliable A/C shop and ask to change to sanden(of course must have $$$)
but of course ...case will be same as proton...underpower
