cant sleep, so decide to browse doing some reading b4 sleeping. So many interesting things happened in others' thread which not related to prtn of course.

It seems that others have some nigling problems which namely minor by them, n it keep me smiling on how civilize they r on probs n never ever heard they mentioned it in any open topic on rattling, sluggishness, gluk2 sound etc etc even oil leak. It seems that they really accept it with open heart even some are unresolved. Some even mentioning that some hi tech car n award winning car dont have auto lock function to comply with ncap n it is standard across all modern cars (i wonder why preve n exora has autolock function :-), n does it means preve n exora not comply with ncap? :-), actually unless u have auto unlock function during collision(which embended in bcm in exora n preve) which comply with unece, then u can have auto lock) n even some happily mentioned how stupid prtn put passenger airbags off switch at centre console while his new ride really smart dont have that button (which actually indicator, not button in preve complying with unece regulation).

Many need to diff between ncap n applus+ idiada.
Why prtn send car for testing in idiada, not euroncap@ancap@ncap? Well, ncap dont provide crash testing facility@proving ground, they r only bodies that promote safety awareness n dont do much testing actually. So why idiada? No euroncap, so not good, how to sell product in europe? Euroncap crash test is based on unece rules which created by ece,not euroncap (4 aspects of crash test, but not setting the rules@set design safety standard@what soever)ece is nearly similar with fmvss created by nhtsa.

Why applus idiada then? Not only its a proving ground for hnt n tech services, Idiada issues official cert according to ec directives n ece rules(so,if want to be eligible to sell car in europe,u need this cert).

Idiada not only OFFICIALLY accredited for europe standards@unece, but also for TRIAS standard(japan), ADR standard (australia), GS-SASO standard (gulf countries). So,idiada also issue cert for those who seek to sell their cars in japan, australia n gulf countries besides europe.

For america, nhtsa on fmvss rules its nearly same as other standards mentioned above. All the rules covers crashtest, design, materials, emmision, safety, electronics part n intergration n many more.

So, what is ncap then? Just google :-).

Now u see how easier sales person if want to con consumer, especially by using ncap names.

With so many rules of design, materials, electronics, emmision, crashworthiness(as i mentioned more than 15 crashtest need to be done to comply to all the rules) n etc. Maybe :-), one way to get high marks in ncap, just focus on the 3@4 sets of crash test, n just comply with minimum requirements with others.

Dunno about others, but for prtn, targets for all sets of crash test is atleast 30% more than minimum requirements, some parts are exceed 30% more than standards which starting with savvy onwards. N its really hard to do that with all the rules need to comply and limited cash to spend to crash the prototypes.

By the way, im not saying this to u guys, just my empty rant, just wondering those malaysians who really forgiveful towards other brands, just keep silent n etc.

Same as dct slugishness, only those who own it dare admit that dct is sluggish at low speed, n do complain, but others just accept it with full heart, not only that, never seen that slugishness as weakness, but strength. But when prtn equip clutch cvt behave the same, it become safety issues...herm, but luckily clutch cvt is flexible, so, still can be improve, even within 1 year, but dct already been long enough, but the character still persist.

Sorry n sorry again ranting on unrelated topic in this thread. Gdnite.
