Here are my reasons for choosing the Exora Bold CFE
Pros:
1. CFE engine is superb. Powerful for an MPV and pickup is good.
2. Large boot space and versatile seat folding layout
3. Air-cond on the Exora Bold is great (as with all Protons)
4. Good handling for an MPV
5. Last row seats space is pretty good, and can accommodate me just right (I'm 170cm+)

Cons:
1. Interior build quality is alright, although choice of materials is not that good (hard plastics everywhere)
2. The fan for the turbo engine is super loud and noisy, although this is really just me nitpicking

I have this car for almost a month now. Very very satisfied with it so far.
The practicality and space has been very useful for me, and the engine performance has been superb.

Power is always there whenever I demand for it

I can't comment on service centre experience yet as I only just had my first 1000km service

Indeed the accelerator needs some pressing before the power kicks in. But I assure you, the needle hovering at 2k RPM is all you need.
205Nm of torque right from 2k RPM when the turbo kicks in, is enough power to propel the 1500kg MPV ahead of other vehicles

FC so far for me is between 8-9km/L. My unit is only less than 1 month old so far, so there might be a chance that the FC has yet to stabilise

10-11km/L = 100% highway?

My 8-9km/L = 100% city

hybrid exora?

Tried 170kmh for a short while on the highway just now.
There's definitely some wind noise and tire noise..
But surprisingly very stable

I actually really like the looks of the Preve's steering wheel. Why didn't proton put the emblem on the steering wheel of the Exora

you self turbo-ed your CPS exora?

I was previously considering between avanza, grand livina, and exora.

Ended up going for the Exora after almost a year of consideration, just got my Exora a month ago.

So far so good, overall a very good MPV especially when considering the price

2013 stock?

lol that's my thread, and I actually followed this thread alot https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2556542/all

totally agree with your opinions too

I too got my unit from vincent818, another thumbs up for him. best deal in town

you floor the throttle is it?

I too in the beginning, wasn't open to Proton/Perodua when looking for an MPV.

What changed my perception of the Exora was when I test drove a unit and felt the car for myself (it belonged to a friend of my dad).

Indeed their tagline "You'll be amazed" proved to me to be true

Can I just go to the Proton SC and ask for the ECU update?

Mine also has turbo emblem. But mine is 2013 stock

The year of make is written on the jpj paper when you receive your car

Any idea how long it will take ?

Double post

You done update yours already?

Really that quick? Just 20 minutes? Did you make booking in advance just like when going for regular service?

I think I'm gonna go get my ECU updated soon too
