to those who just got the car.. don't over use the brake as it is still new.. let the disc and brake pad "mesra", then you will feel the grip.. let it mesra around 300-500km.. of course our brake won't feel syiok like wira / waja.. coz ours with abs.. it eliminate tyre lock..

those with woo woo woo sound, that is the cvt / engine breaking sound, need not worry.. but if brake got duk duk duk, then better set appointment with SC to have the disc replaced or skimmed.. make sure don't drive fast also, with warped disc takut brake pad can easily sliped, and cause brake tak makan..

another thing, i don't rely on the car default brake setting when the car come out of manufacturing, when i took my car and had my disc replaced, brake still feel tak makan, then send again later in the evening to do brake bleeding (not covered under warranty, so pandai2 kowtim with them).. the brake feel totally different.. do cekidout...

anyway, just sharing my experience here..

Any of you know how much it costs to replace this cracked part? Happened while installing my reverse camera.
Looked thru the spare part price list but im unsure what is the name of this part.
Might be kind of hard to see in the pictures, but it looks worse in real life, and can be felt with fingertips

Well Proton did charged as they please any of the car parts. Like the rear reflector that situated just at the bottom of rear bumper, it's RM38 per piece for that 6-7" plastic. icon_idea.gif

the car feels more responsive i guess they already updated the 2013 models with newer ECU software..but gps map is still not updated..besides the braking sound (duk..duk..duk) is still present. I arrange for an appointment wit SC next week hopefully they will rectify the brakes..other than tat FC is kinda high (normal for new engine)...But overall no major complaints everything is working fine and im very happy with the car! btw ive done 400km on the clock..

did you immediately notice the braking sound during your 1st time drive leaving the showroom? if yes, later when i take my car, should be part of the check list.

According to my SA, if the engine noise inside cabin is too loud, at SC we can request to cover any holes behind dashboard to reduce the noise. Not sure whether anyone ever try this & chargeable?

Mine was used by my wife who travel 60km back & forth everyday. So in my case I follow 5k interval, didn't wait for the 6 months as they suggested. I don't know what about others. To each is their own situation i guess
