FC is good. highway is better. rm 80~85 can get to 480 to 520. depend on traffic condition. high hill or slope or lots of traffic light. highway one full tank manage to reach 670km full tank with remaining 70km before petrol fully deplete.
depend on your right foot. handling great. corner at high speed still safe. after sale service. from start till now i always go COSE. now their technician getting less and less. not sure current status but if normal service 1 hour. if need to rectify some minor issue. each issue they will give their timing to rectify is 1 hour.
So let say you have this list.
dashboard right hand side vibrate when standstill or when going up hill.
C pillar got some wind sound
gear knob plastic spoil
rusty petrol tank holder
If this four minor issue they will give each item 1 hour resolution.
If you have more to change or more complicated one will need to put car there one or two or even three days. to let them rectify.
but if you want go cose.. please make sure you take half day leave or one day leave. unless you got other friend or other transport to go to work. Dont go during friday. nothing much they can do cause friday break time longer 12 till 2.45 so by the time they need to rectify something you will end up going back at 4.30 or 5.00 pm.
Turbocharge 1.6 CFE is good. my last time small car 1.3 of course alot of different. kinda scary too if you press hard with S mode. torque steer towards the left. tyre will spin if you start from standstill if you really press down hard at S mode. the umpphh feel after 2k ~5.k rpm region. the rest will climb fast and easy around 160 kmph~ 180kmph range. reaching 190 is slower to reach 200. never go pass 200 mark yet. but that's the max i go. up hill is great. initial acceleration is great. of course cannot compare sports car but it really does have the ummphh. of course you wont stick to the chair when you accelerate. that is only 205 N-m torque. if got more like 400N-m in Subaru WRX then you can stick at the chair when accelerate. or 700 N-m torque like Lamborghini Aventador then you can get excited.
Try test drive yourself. during i test drive. the sale agent is girl...so when i whack corner at 110 ~120 she shriek a little while holding the handle on the roof. scary for her i think.
Good writing, very much appreciated. As for the fc, I have a Wira and Saga FL with both averaging 10-12km/l. Needless to say, I usually refill full tank around 30l+ at RM 60 and mileage can go as far as 350km for city drive. Of course for long stretch clear highway is further, around 400km. I guess fc wise for Proton cars pretty much the same.
As for turbocharged, my benchmark would be 4G93T as I've driven a Waja with it. On paper specs, it is lower but it is a 1.6L but able whack a corner at 100-120kmph for on the road car is pretty neat. I don't usually drive fast as Wira 1.5 pick up is slower, but when I driven my bro Waja 1.8T, getting to 120kmph at ease gets me excited a bit especially in overtaking at high speed. You just overtake without the need to take the speed momentum.
And yeah, I'll test drive it to believe.

I'm loving this new ECU/TCU. Better pickup and i can maintain rev below 2k for city drive. Highway 120km/h only 2.5k rev. FC also very good. last time my best fc is 8.5L/100km. now can get 7.6L/100km

That is very good fc !
