Welcome!
What color your EB, CFE or CPS?
Hopefully problem free, if CFE version try pump full Ron95 BHP or best Ron97 Shell V-Power. You can feel the power of the Turbocharged. Try maintain speed below 110kmh until 1000km or better 3000km. cool2.gif

I wanted to have cocoa grey, but my SA told me that I have to wait. No way, I cant wait any longer teehee rclxm9.gif
so i chose plum red EB CFE. i just reached 1200++km on odo, but still maintain the 'running-in' driving behavior.
About fuel, I use Primax 95 until now, and will slowly change to BHP Ron95. Thanks for the advice bro notworthy.gif

driving an MPV was quite awkward for me since I only have a Perodua Kancil before. Of course we want a problem-free car, but my EB CFE has few minor problems. First the third brake light; 3 LEDs did not light up, and already told the SC, waiting for replacement part

Secondly, my CD player; it keeps on 'hanging', not responding and then turned off by itself. When I turn it back on, all my radio presets were gone. it was like the CD player is self-resetting. this problem occurs quite a few times, and ONLY HAPPEN if I use the radio. doh.gif It do not happen when I used audio CD. The people at the SC already dissemble, and reassemble the CD player but it still happen. is there any other solution? or am I the only EB owner that have this problem?

About the engine, as usual, as I read on previous threads before, there is engine jerking when i started to drive from stationary, but I'm sure it is a normal behavior for CVT right? hmm.gif overall, I'm very impressed to own this EB CFE. My original plan was to buy a Saga FLX, but my father advised me to buy a bigger car, so I choose Exora Bold, and it worth! No regret at all thumbup.gif

FYI, I live in Kuala Selangor

again, my cd player turned off by itself twice yesterday. is there any option for me to get a new one? since my EB is still under warranty (1500km mileage)

about my third brake light, the SC told me that they need to check if that part is under their warranty. WTFish? doh.gif its a new car, 2 weeks old.

i personally got 1k discount from proton edar + full tank
*
thats very lucky. mine, I booked EB CVT, and I requested for full loan. first the SA applied from Bank Islam but they approved 76k only. as I dont have much cash at that time, I asked him to proceed with other bank. the following week, Bank Rakyat approved 79.9k. so I just pay about 100++ to the SA.


but, I have no chance of choosing my desires color. I wanted to have coca grey, and my second choice was elegant brown. but the SA told me that there are no stock for those 3 colors and I have to wait if I wanted that color. despite of waiting, I chosed plum red (which is the display car). As expected at that time, I'm quite regret as plum red is not my favourite color. but thats ok for me. it took about 1 week from bank approval until I get the car

1 week only? I thought it was long enough, but since I had just joined this forum for a week, I noticed some of abang2 and kakak2 here need to wait for few months to get their EB. should I consider myself lucky? hmm.gif

however, upon receiving my car, I was expecting to get few gifts, but I only get an umbrella. as I said earlier, my car was a display car, the odo only show 16 km (not to bad). I noticed there are few minor scratches on the gear panel, but i just "butakan mata'' for that. some of u might get a full tank, but mine? only 3 bars upon starting the engine, reduced to 2 once I drove off 3 km. such a kedekut SA. no smart tag, no full tank, no steering lock, what to expect? its a full loan car. maybe thats their behavior upon receiving full loan application. no rebate, no doscount, yada yada yada doh.gif 1 thing that still tickle me until now, the SA told me that the boot organiser is a kelambu? where the H he learn that? proton's SA need to know protons car very well doh.gif

my first impression on this car, the engine is superb! quite laggy during early driving is normal for me, cabin space? no doubt, it is very spacious! air cond? no worries, all 3 rows blower. reverse camera work very well, but sometimes my reverse sensor becomes gila, but dimaafkan biggrin.gif

only after 2 weeks, I did my first service on 1007 km, changed to synthium 800 (said to be changed the next 6000km) I aslo complaint about my cd player and third brake light, seems like i need to bring my car to COE for faster respond.

my advice for those who are still thinking about what car to buy, just tawakkal, proceed to EB CVT. at only 80k, (vios 77k+, city 80++k), u'll get a seven-seater car. so u wanted to have a satria neo badly? think back. its a 7 or 9 years loan, at age 31, i've already seetled my EB loan. lulz. and at that time, some of u might consider to have an MPV (family keeps growing, etc etc)

congratulation Proton for such a good car thumbup.gif notworthy.gif

and forgive me for few typos, I'm a bad typer hehehe

Hi guys

Been driving for 1 week (odo around 250km). this is my status report

1) fc about 6.3 km/l, full city drive.  I understand first 100k fc is normally lousy but just want to confirm if mine normal?

2) when I go through some small pot hole, only the back tyre, some time can hear like clanking sound for a short while. I remember someone reported similar case. Any idea what it is?

3) understand that the fan will keep running after stop engine to cool down the turbo. But sometime when I drive for 15 min them shut off engine the fan didn't kick start. I thought 15 min drive should be quite got already.normal?

4) heard some minor sound on the dashboard board area only today but at the moment not serious.anyone had this experience?

5) just now my engine suddenly die off from idle and going into very slow movement. Anyone got this experience?

Other than that, my eb is great (so far)
*
my dashboard also produce some vibrating noice during 2k rmp at 20-40km/h. considered normal. just pekakkan telinga. heheh biggrin.gif

Haiyoo, buy display car meh ? what a pemalas SA serve you, huhuhuhu rclxub.gif

BTW, different shop offer different free gift lor. but not a free gift we after, as long the car that we buy is in goods condition, that a relief to us. Free gift might be a bonus to buyer.  icon_rolleyes.gif

I already fed up with the SA. he said I only have 2 colors to choose, which both of them are the display car. no way I cant wait any longer. brows.gif

about free gift, I didnt expect much from him, just, if he could give me a full tank would be nice.

I have 1 question, how much comission that SA get for each EB CFE sold? just wondering hmm.gif

Just now I went to proton edar near Selayang Mall, going to check out the new Exora Bold standard CFE. priced at only rm69k++, the new EB has CFE engine with CVT! OMG!

I was like, a littlebit of regret as I owned EB CFE (the rm80k) for just 3 weeks! I bought this EB because I wanted to have the CFE engine so badly. No wonder lah my SA at that time really desperate to sell this car to me.

As I reached there, the car still in the car wash, and I had no time to wait. According to the SA there, this EB CFE Standard use CFE and CVT. Exteriorly, it is quite similar with exora CPS standard (no paint on side mirrors and door handle), except for the new front bold bumper. Besides, fabric seat, and I guess no armrest for front seat, MAYBE no overhead DVD player, no reverse camera. "MAYBE" because I haven't seen the car yet. One more thing, it dont comes with sport rim, just normal rim with newly designed wheel cover.

So, with RM69k++, I dont really care abt the accessories as we can slowly customize the car. Its really worth. I'm pretty sure some of the Exora CPS (the RM72k one) might feel regret, yeah sure. biggrin.gif

still experiencing unstable rpm & engine when cold start, i hd the ECU reflashed for the third time on early Jan. it was okay for some time of period,  two days back this unstable issue arise again.
then, back again to SC voicing out this matter and their response was that since the ECU has been reflashed with newly updated setting they suggested to either to add in fuel treatments or swap fuel brand, claiming that this might be the petrol quality matter..what say you guys, any comment..

I also have this problem. until now no complaint made to the sc, trying to adapt with it. it usually happen during cold start and during rapid deceleration (emergency stop at red light)
