Actually the price for Proton in UK is bit higher than Malaysia except when they do promotion (quite a lot). During saga and wira time, yes the price in UK is cheaper than Malaysia and this is call market penetration strategy. The same strategy is used by japs and koreans to penetrate the western market. In US for example, Korean cars are sold lower than market price.
During waja (Impian) time, the price different between Malaysia and UK is about RM 10K. But of course in UK, the car comes with airbags and ESC due to the regulations.... but other than these two, UK and Malaysian model are the same.
Regarding quality, it is still the same. They are using the same part except for some components that must be sourced out from UK/EU due to the regulations (if I'm not mistaken).
I've seen proton cars in UK with fish tank feature (water get inside the boot) and some other problems faced by Malaysian.
I think we should be sceptical with words coming out from the dealer especially regarding the delivery time. Some dealer just need orders, maybe they want to fill the chart in their office for the `booking numbers' and registered numbers'.
I think I've seen a memo from proton to the dealers to not to over promise...but I feel some dealers don't care and will give empty promise just for you to book the car.
A bit higher? You sure bro? As in 1:1 comparison between the price and the specs. Well, the only comparison I have is the Satria GTI.
And the quality, I'm not referring to the components. Just simply, the body of the car. Notice how people call the car Tin Milo here? Not the same case with what I tested. Solid.
But this is personal opinion and observation - not vetted by any research whatsoever. So I guess hardcore proton supporters will say nay, while bashers will say aye.
I'm still in between. For now. I still stand my ground though - they used to have better quality for exports, at a more competitive price.

I know everyone will advise me to get the blue one, but haiz...i really can't find any interested in that colour...
I saw a blue in action last night. Was tailing the car. First I thought - hey, new car! Then I looked again. No wayyyyyy - it's the Preve!
The blue does indeed look nice out of the showroom.
But hey, it's your personal choice. If you don't like the blue, go with the colour you want!

I'm there, no breakfast served, perut empty from morning till noon, friend told me go over to P2 makan next time, got nasi lemak and beehoon goreng.
No big deal bout food but no shift rotation is a lil weird, finally everything done, already 3 plus. I advise to those who wanna do normal service, avoid there at all cost.
Heh. Proton service haven't imporved eh? Whitelighter, think you can add places to avoid? Or actually, just link it to the thread that's already pinned.

Guys..
Got a nice story to share here.. Damn seeing beloved car also can reach 210Km/J, the following story really makes me think twice before pedal to metal this thing... Shiit, I'm too old for this NFS thingy...

Cerita daripada seorang kawan c99limited.com
Lebih kurang pukul 6 petang 6-may-12, aku masuk hiway Plus dari kuantan nak ke KL. Aku maintain crusing 180km/j tetiba aku perasan ada kereta belakang lagi laju. Aku tengok Inspira makin dekat dgn keta aku then aku masuk lane kiri bagi laluan dia memotong. Pastu aku terus follow inspira tu, meter dah jadi 200km/j. Wow hati kering driver inspira tu! Keta standard, absober standard, rim dan tayar pun standard kilang.
Memandangkan speed dah 200km/j then aku follow je dalam jarak lebih dari 5 biji kereta demi keselamatan. Enjoy pasal inspira tu rajin hi beam halau kereta ke tepi so aku kat belakang dia just follow je la. Time coner jalan tak rata aku nampak inspira tu body dah goyang tapi dia tetap maintain speed. Ada jugak terdetik nak potong dia tapi memandangkan aku plan nak crusing je so aku maintain je la speed 200km/j kat belakang dia.
Tetiba kat depan ada sebijik Mitsubishi Lenser 2.0 kat lane kanan dalam kelajuan 140km/j. Lancer tu taknak ketepi tapi terus tekan minyak dan inspira tu terus cucuk. Hmmm kereta yg sama cuma pengilang yg berlainan. Proton Inspira vs Mitsubishi Lenser
aku pun ikut je la dari belakang untuk melihat aksi mereka. Meter naik balik ke 200km/j. Kalau ikut darah pahlawan time ni sedap potong kedua-dua tu tapi angin tengah baik lagipun lately tak tau la aku macam gerun sikit nak rembat kaw-kaw, hmmmm mungkin ada hikmah tu. so aku ikut je dari belakang.
Dalam 5 minit aku follow melihat aksi mereka ada pulak sebuah bas di belakang antara beberapa buah kereta yg bawak pada kelajuan biasa kat lane kiri. Inpira masih mencucuk lenser dgn rapat dan aku makin menjarakkan sikit demi keselamatan.
Tetiba aku nampak inspira, lenser, bas dan beberapa kereta kat depan macam ada kacau bilau. Terus aku nampak lenser tu melanggar pagar kiri hiway dan melintas depan keta aku lalu langgar pagar kanan pulak dan melompat sambil berpusing ke udara lalu jatuh ke laluan sebelah yg menghala ke terengganu.
Sewaktu Lancer tu diudara sebuah kereta di laluan sebelah betul2 berada dibawah lenser tu. Nasib kereta tu memang baik tapi bila lenser tu dah terempas ke laluan sebelah ada sebuah kereta lain terlanggar serpihan lenser tu lalu terbabas dan langgar pagar.
Kereta Inspira tu aku perasan slow sekejap pastu terus menghilangkan diri. Masa aku pelahankan kereta untuk berenti aku perasan penumpang lenser yg duduk di depan dah kaku.
Sebaik je aku berenti aku terus berlari ke lenser tu untuk membantu. Aku antara org terawal sampai dan masa aku tengah melintas pagar kat tengah hiway untuk ke laluan sebelah ada sorang brother yg berlari lebih awal bagi tau ada baby kat tengah jalan.
Ya Allah!!!!! menggigil kepala lutut aku dan rasa sebak cam nak nangis nampak baby yg aku rasa baru beberapa bulan dah tercampak keluar dan ada kat tengah-tengah jalan. Aku terus jerit kat brother tu suruh angkat je baby yg tengah menangis tu. Brother tu pun macam panik tapi aku jerit je suruh dia angkat baby tu.
Syukur kereta di laluan tu suma terus berenti. Aku terus pergi kat ke lenser tu dan ada orang suruh mangsa mengucap. Bila aku tengok kedua-dua penumpang dah diam.
Aku nampak penumpang depan perempuan, masih dalam ber'seatbelt' dan air bag dah kempis. Kepala penumpang tu dah tunduk kedepan tapi aku yakin tengkok patah pasal nampak tulang tengkok macam nak terkeluar. Dia dah tak bernyawa.
Aku periksa pemandu, lelaki, masih memakai seatbelt dan airbag dah kempis. Pemandu tu pun terlentok kaku. Ada kesan lebam di leher. Aku yakin dia pun dah tak bernyawa.
Aku terus pesan pada dua tiga orang yg ada kat situ supaya jgn sentuh mangsa yg dah tak bernyawa. Apa-apa hal tunggu polis. Pastu ada brother terus jaga lalu lintas dan aku pun bersihkan serpihan lenser tu untuk bukak jalan. Aku ternampak beberapa document peribadi mangsa atas jalan terus aku kutip dan kumpulkan satu tempat.
Aku periksa baby tu pulak, dahi dia luka kena jalan. Nampak isi warna putih dan berdarah. Aku terus kumpulkan beg-beg yg tercampak keluar dan untuk carik beg baby lalu aku kumpulkan setempat. Alhamdulilah ada sorang pakcik dan anak perempuan dia datang bantu tolong pegangkan baby tu. Aku keluarkan tuala dari beg baby tu untuk tutup kepala dia. Aku carik susu tapi dah takde dalam beg.
Aku selongkar beg mangsa untuk cek document yg mungkin boleh membantu aku menghubungi ahli keluarga mangsa tapi semuanya cuma document peribadi mangsa je dan takde no ahli keluarga mangsa.
Dalam masa 20 minit lepas kejadian tetiba ada pakcik tu ambih phone mangsa dan call ahli keluarga mangsa. Rupa-rupanya ada ahli keluarga mangsa ada convoi bersama mangsa hampir sampai ke tempat kejadian. Bila hali keluarga mangsa sampai terus kitorang suruh ambik baby tu dulu dan hantar ke hospital.
Aku rasa macam nak ambik gambar mangsa tapi tak sampai hati. So aku ambik gambar kereta mangsa je dari depan.
Pastu dalam beberapa minit polis, bomba, ambulan pun sampai.
Aku kat tempat kejadian ada la dalam sejam dan berulang2 kali aku terpaksa bercerita dari awal hingga habis. Sempat jugak aku bercerita pada ahli keluarga mangsa yg datang ambik baby tu.
Aku tinggalkan tempat tu dgn kaki yg mengigil. Live depan mata excident 200km/j. Dalam masa beberapa saat je 2 nyawa melayang, baby terpelanting keluar kereta dan baby yg tak tau apa-apa kehilangan ibubapa selamanya.
Aku teruskan perjalanan ke KL dgn kelajuan yg tak sampai 160km/j. isteri aku kat sebelah troma dan ketakutan. Dalam kereta sunyi sepi tak berborak, radio pun tak on. Sampai tol gombak baru aku bukak radio dan cuba bercakap dgn wife aku untuk tenangkan dia.
Lancer crash at 200km/j. Dari laluan kuantan ke KL terpelanting ke laluan sebelah (KL ke Kuantan)
minyak engine + coolen mengalir keluar
dua pictures ni je aku ambik. Aku tak sampai hati nak ambik gambar mangsa.
Maybe some of you already know, maybe some of u don't. But believing with the slogan "sharing is caring", this story really is a good reminder to all of speed junkie out there including me.

OMG. People with passengers in the car really shouldn't drive like the devil himself is chasing them. Sheesh. Really makes you think twice when wanting to be a speed demon.
QUOTE(redflame @ May 17 2012, 11:18 AM)
I just cant comprehend why these people with babies in the car would drive at such speed...
Of course, I'm not referring to your colleague though...
I mean in general...
No offense...but don't they have common sense or something?
You're responsible for the well-being of other that is in the car too, for God's sake...
And to think they have a little baby in there, too...
I even saw some guys with their kids on their lap at the driver seat...doing at least 60 on the road...
How stupid are these people?
This is what happens when one lacks education and common sense. Haih. If they suffer alone nvm la. This one drag others with them. This idiocy really annoys me.
QUOTE(dares @ May 17 2012, 11:20 AM)
That's why, if carrying other people in your car, don't speed.
You speed and die that's your problem, but don't endanger your passengers.
Or other people on the road. Doesn't mean you paid the road tax, you can act like it's your private property.
