QUOTE(kmhork87 @ Nov 22 2012, 01:23 PM) just a quick one, whats the top speed have you tried before updating? I think it is hard to get more than 210. I used to get up to 225, but it is at a little steep highway (MEX).i think the CFE can go faster than 210km/h I also desire the new ECU/TCU remap can maintain or upgrade the performance between 120 to 200km/h. |

tak ada pop corn time pun..
come to think of it, we need to :- -put paper to stop dashboard vibration -tie fuel line hose to reduce mounting vibration -put 3m tube to reduce sound noise -put play doh to reduce wind sound -cut carpet to pedal down more -what else... woit ! Proton designer tido kah? Please read this thread to improve la.. some more got issue like. -gluk gluk sound when travelling at 90kmph and above -windows klek klek sound going up and down -over cranking sound when starting -asap smell in cabin -air cond noisy sound when blowing -tank holder rusty -seat berbulu -seat noisy goyang goyang like want to cabut already -wiper hitting frame when high speed -windows panel bulging when roll up -door welding spot rusty -car jerking when slow down -head light not balance -steering shake when do hard braking -boot auto open -engine mati when reverse -engine cannot start -engine cannot mati -etc etc I sincerely hope we don't hear any more complaints as above for new batch..or else how to go global..Almera also claimed to be global car..

Latest batch do updated with the redesigned power window regulator, which only lessen the issue of door trimboard bulging issue. Completely eliminate it? Not yet. SA will not able to give you any guarantee, even Proton themselves could not YET. |

Go check out Myvi and share with us. -put play doh to reduce wind sound - This isn't high end car, that should come with top notch noise insulation. Go check out Myvi and share with us. -cut carpet to pedal down more - One of the 7-points free inspection and rectification by Proton, you can perform at any service centre -what else... woit ! Proton designer tido kah? Please read this thread to improve la.. some more got issue like. -gluk gluk sound when travelling at 90kmph and above - Check with SC, I dun experience it -windows klek klek sound going up and down - Already solved with new redesigned power window regulator, do change it at service centre. -over cranking sound when starting - Most members mentioned new ECU mapping solve this issue. -asap smell in cabin - The car doesn't come any A/C filter, only hexagonal grille filter, purchase one if you need it. -air cond noisy sound when blowing - Check with SC, I dun experience it. -tank holder rusty - Known issue, already given solution by Proton -seat berbulu - Only certain owners with this issue, can be replaced FOC -seat noisy goyang goyang like want to cabut already - Certain owners have this issue, just send the complain, Proton will work this. All manufacturers need feedback from owner, else they won't know the problem that happens on their cars -wiper hitting frame when high speed - Readjust the wiper arm position, any SC can do this -windows panel bulging when roll up - Unresolved matter -door welding spot rusty - Perhaps only first batch owner have this issue, can be rectified -car jerking when slow down - Characteristics of CVT, its the same with DSG gearbox too -head light not balance - Isn't that light on the left should go further than right? -steering shake when do hard braking - Please perform tyre/wheel balancing and share with us again on this issue -boot auto open - Redesigned boot lid has solved the issue, latest batch has no such issue anymore. Do visit nearest SC for rectification -engine mati when reverse - Known issue with CVT gearbox, do not switch from D to R too fast -engine cannot start - More like lemon units to me -engine cannot mati - More like lemon units to me -etc etc I sincerely hope we don't hear any more complaints as above for new batch..or else how to go global..Almera also claimed to be global car..

For the price it ask for, I can live with a few bugs.
Despite the above, I have no regret over my purchase. Do you? |
