QUOTE(brotan @ Jun 13 2012, 11:34 PM) 2nd tires is one thing i will NEVER do, unless you know it's history.1. Tires are rubber and rubber cracks with age. Tire have a shelf life and anything more than 4 or 5 yrs is pass it's shelf life. Once pass and driving at high speed, you better go write your wills first. 2. Some tires shop will use sharp knife to cut the rubber groves to make it looks 'new'. That means thinner tires so again, go write your wills first. |

QUOTE(klate @ Jun 15 2012, 09:04 PM) Hi ..... Yap. Same here. My budget was RM160K but this Bold fits all my criteria at half the price so why not? Got it without bank loan but none of my friend could understand why I picked a Proton I'm new Exora bold user from Penang.... Book the car on ~May 15th and got to drive the car on 2nd June. The Exora is an addition to my current ride - Toyota Unser and Volvo 850 T5 ... still haven't decide if will let go Unser or not My first impression of the Exora was .... Woww .... what a good deal for RM80k. Not bad for something coming from Proton, to be honost it is above my expectation for power, space, comfort and accessories ...could it be because I have low expectation for Proton in the first place? BTW, that 850T5 is a great car. I was shocked how come something that looks so big and bulky could be so nibble in handling. |

QUOTE(klate @ Jun 16 2012, 06:24 PM) Agree that 850T5 Wagon is a great car even even after 16 yrs elapse. It has been serving me well...what I like most it can carry 5 bicycle (MTB) 4 on the roof and 1 inside, if necessary it can still cruise the h/way @ 150 easily with all that loads. I did considered the Estima and Grandis. I didn't like used Estima for fear of bad luck. I didn't like the Grandis interior plus no test car to drive. Ended up with CFE because it drives great. And like you, don't know how's the engine and CVT going to hold up but I suppose Proton will take care of that for the initial 3 years.I prefer 850T5 driving alone, but cannot beat the comfort of Exora when travel with family. I was tossing between 2nd hand Cireon C8, Estima, Odyssey, Grandis, Rexton for quit a long time..... eventually end up with Exora after few test drive All above statement is true for now, yet to see/experience the Proton EB Quality and Reliability over time. Right now, things I didn't quite like but for that price, how to complain? 1. Below 60 kph, CVT makes too much noise 2. Paint work seems pretty thin 3. Still new but I am getting 12 liter/100-km. Not great. Not bad either. This post has been edited by Optiplex330: Jun 16 2012, 07:22 PM |

QUOTE(richsense @ Jun 17 2012, 02:24 PM) Can anyone share what is your tyre air pressure for front and rear? I was following the measurement on the side of the driver seat but the front tyres look like not enough air. I put front 31 and back 37. Now I change front tyres to 37 and rear 37. The feel is much more different. Not sure whether it is the correct air pressure for EB or not. Tire pressure is a compromise. Just randomly quoting figures to illustrate what I meant, not actual.For example: Front for comfort: 28psi Front for performance: 30 Front for fuel economy: 33 So Proton compromises at 31psi. |

Moving from standstill. There is a time lag of about 1 second after pressing accelerator before power comes in. You people have same issue?

QUOTE(amd2105 @ Jun 19 2012, 09:28 AM) The last part, the rear dvd player really testing my patience as i've read everything in the manual (no dvd was tested yet). Plugged in the usb, the display shows the mp3 was on play mode but no sound, stucked at this point until today. Is there any cable or is there any other point that was missed during the process? |

QUOTE(karlbum @ Jun 19 2012, 12:47 PM) i base it on ambient temperature... malaysia once reached 40 in 1998... and the trend is going up... so i chose 15w50... and no i dare not say the best... merely good enough .... That is an exception and I wouldn't worry about that.during 1k and 5k i used 10w30 But if you insist on worrying, I reckon you should go for 10W40 (have to be Semi or Synthetic, no Mineral). 15w50 is too thick and the range far too wide so increase risk of oil breaking down. |

QUOTE(karlbum @ Jun 19 2012, 01:58 PM) if we focus on SAE 30 (10w30) as being the best fit for exora bold wouldn't that make the best that petronas has to offer at syntium 5000 0w30? The car manual said you CAN NOT use 0W30. Not enough protection. Have to stick with oil starting with at least 10W**because the difference between 10w30 and 0w30 is cold start viscosity? just saying because i believe this is what is offered at most proton sc and some dont let ppl use their own oil. |

I thought the Lavina is a perfectly fine MPV.Now am considering Exora Bold Premium CVT .... initially was thinking of Altis 1.6E or 1.8E. Current drive is Livina 1.6A .... need advise |

QUOTE(karlbum @ Jun 19 2012, 02:47 PM) Optiplex: i thought *W is cold start rating... and so the lower it is the better because provide better cold start protection... the number behind is for protection after engine running? Your understanding of oil viscosity is also my understanding and I am as confused as you are. Have a look at Page 127 whereby it says you can't use 0W or 5W. so i understand that after engine runs.. if they say 10w30 is good any 30 is good. but your point seems to point that 0w wont offer enough protection... cold start protection? or what is ur understanding of the SAE Rating? |
