Hi all, just received my new silver cfe exora. I'm a musician, a harpist to be exact. My instrument is huge and heavy (185 cm tall, 40+ kg) so needed a large car. I have been watching this forum for some time. Before deciding on exora, i test drove recon audi/merc wagons, toyota wish & the new volvo/mazda wagons. Previous car was toyota innova, which was horrible for me, altho its very reliable, its super bumpy, the boot is too high for me to load my instrument easily (which is why i started searching for wagons), and that ancient 4speeder gb really is not meant for highway driving. The exora's fold flat seats is a huge +++ for me. And the price too of course lol.

Drove it into town today, just tiptoeing on the pedal can get me to a respectable speed already, haven't had chance to take it to the highway for some pedal-to-metal. Love the car's looks. Impressed by the stability and engine at mid-high speeds, beats innova hands down. So many people asking me, "seriously a proton?" I told them, i love everything about the car, especially if you consider the price! I just will let time show the reliability.

The chairs all creak slightly, will tell the sc when i go. And I think waze is the best navi solution for me. Any idea where I can sell the lokatoo gps? Looking forward to having fun with my new ride!

ya man, was v heavy traffic so only use one toe to tekan. scared unleash the power and unleash the airbag too

bro, can give your thoughts about autofoam for exora? Is it worth it? Big difference?

My EB's front passenger seat is creaking, service failed to fix it. Any of you guys have creaking seats too? My dad told me not to be too sad, he said, "if no sound, its not a proton". lol....

the vios ok?

changed my stock tires to michelin primacy today.

420 each. wallet empty now.

car feels more stable now, certainly much quieter. maybe its my mental issue, but now i dare to drive normally in rain conditions...with the original GT, just felt scared that it would skid on water. am going to carry my harp (musical instrument) to penang next year for concert for the first time in this new car, so want max safety.

unrelated to tires...i noticed that the R gear is sort of strange. sometimes it doesnt engage right, i need to shift the stick around, and also it seems underpowered? need to step quite a bit of gas when reversing uphill. i had to park on a steep bukit ytd and was having some difficulty...is this normal?

same size primacy 3 st. I didn't want to experiment with larger tire size, wont that make the car more bouncy on hard surfaces?

yup traded in stock tire for for 120 each

really? i felt proton steering was so much firmer and steadier than toyota...lol

Happy New Year fellow EB owners!

My exora had some problems starting recently, sounds like the engine is cold. This happen to any of you? Once the engine even died after starting.

Hmm I had camry 2.4 and innova 2.0 and it they struggle above 120kmph. Camry doesn't sound as loud as exora certainly, but I need to depress the pedal quite a lot, and the steering shakes like hell at that speed (sigh japanese cars always have over light steerings, good for parking but terrible for speeding). Innova...press pedal to bottom also cant overtake a lorry on the Ipoh part of North-South highway, nearly caused an accident. On exora, at least i feel confident that the power is there when overtaking at 130-140 kmph. Stormy is your exora CFE or CPS?

CPS is 4AT? Sorry.

Does anyone know, has the door visor been removed due to excessive noise? Or just cost-cutting?

oh dear, not good for proton publicity.

My aircon was giving probs a few days ago, kept turning itself off and on. SC checked and said, wire loose. Sigh.

The third time that my Exora went back to SC The aircon problem can't be fixed. This time they said there is air in the aircon gas, so they sucked it all out and refilled again. SA keep saying, don't worry there's warranty but its so damned tedious to keep sending the car to the SC :/ Proton oh proton...why is your QC so terrible...

Yeah, EB. Not even a year old. It's not the problem of cold. It's like 5 minutes very cold, 5 minutes hot, 5 mins warm and on and on in a cycle. On short drives in KL, still can take it, but when I need to go outstation, like next month...oh dear oh dear...

Ok bro, if i need to send it back AGAIN, i'll ask them to check that. thanks!

My family start nagging me now, why did I buy proton. Haha...I love to drive the EB but I can't say much coz everytime EB goes workshop I have to borrow mum or dad's car
