You sure? I asked and was told only 3 yrs and no EWP. So when does 5 yrs start?

I think it is better to change CVT fluid at 30K instead of 60K. That is based on friend who had CVT car who suggested half the interval.

You need to double confirm. I had asked and was told for Exroa EWP is no available. Only 3 yrs.

Pro and cons. Lavina NVH is better. Seats are comfortable like sofa. Exora seat are "German" in character meaning it is hard but not uncomfortable.

But Exora has air cond vent for ALL 3 rows and to some people, air cond is very important. Exora outside look better than the bread-loaf-like Lavina

There are still little nagging quality issues.
1. Dashboard got sound
2. Alignment is slightly off.
3. Once in a blue moon, there seem to be some grrrrrr sound from front suspension over pothole.
And this is from Day 1.

Things that are inherent, just the nature. Nothing you can do.
1. Below 60kph, car noisy full of whimming sound from CVT

Your hands should be placed at the upper part of the steering wheel. So what is your hands doing down under?


I did a little searching and found it interesting.
The traditional position is the 10-2 position.
With airbags, 9-3 is recommended so arm not caught by exploding air bags.
Some goes as far as 8-4. So I presume you are using this?

AFAIK, amount that much only applies to CPS model. No official discount for CFE unless the salesman want to give you his commission out of his own pocket but even then, no way 1.5K.

I had said before, some branch do have ready stock. Just have to check around. I got mine ex-stock that way.

Unless one is severely budget constrained, once you driven the CFE, nobody will want the CPS.

I think majority will pull to the left. Some more than others. Is yours very bad to the left?

Sorry to hear that. Can understand your frustration. Please keep us posted on the final result.

My EB have never once got it's fan running after engine switched off. Never during town driving. Not even after driving for 30 mins at 90kph. No engine funny sound either. Nothing. Should I be worried? LOL

Why not tell them a tall story? Tell them this car very intelligent. It's boiling water and coffee ready when you gets back to car later

I was looking at D segment saloon and ended up with this also

The difference is between having to take a loan or no loan. No loan = no worries.

I have been thinking on one possible reason for engine shuttering or about to 'die fire'.

AFAIK, Exora's CVT does have a clutch but it is the wet type. Even though it is wet, it is still a clutch so I presume it will have similar characteristic of any clutch like the one found in manual transmission, though to a less degree.

For example. With the Exora CVT, if you are on a slope and did not give the engine more petrol, the car will slip back just like a manual transmission would. But a real Automatic Transmission wouldn't.

Now in a manual transmission and if you starting to engage/disengage the clutch and if you do not give the engine enough petrol, engine will shutter or 'die fire'. The same thing may be happening here with the Exora because it happens when you change gear (put into Reverse etc). So why not give the Exora engine more petrol and see if the problem goes away. If it does, then that should be it.

My 2 sen

Already got GPS so what do you people do with the unused Lokatoo that comes with it? Sell? Where? How much?

Wait till Proton void your electrical warranty and only then you will learn your lesson the hard way. Legally, Proton has every right to void your warranty for messing around with your car's electrical system.

There is nothing to see. You can go ask your lawyer friend. You can go to court and the court will still rule in Proton's favor.

Many people do not know that, if SC found out:

When they cut wire, you say goodbye to your electrical warranty

When you use your own oil, you say goodbye to your engine warranty.

When you change to bigger rim/tires, you say goodbye to your drive train warranty.

Engage lawyer to fight your case in court also no use.
