ESC in exora is possible, in AUS they comes with 4 airbags and ESC. Proton wants to make domestic and export specs the same lately

Got my Exora CFE standard 2.5 months ago and already done 1000km servicing.
Wanna asked the expert here regarding few issues since this is first ever proton car i bought so far:

1. Exora CFE engine rpm always high as compared to camry 2.4. Observed below:
exora: 80kmph ~ 90kmph  --> 2500rpm
camry: 80kmph ~ 90kmph --> 1800rpm

Is this normal for CVT? I suspect this is the cause for high fuel consumption for Exora.

2. Try to drive Exora CFE faster than 110kmph, but everytime when reaches this speed, it seems like not too willing to go faster. Tried stepped harder on the gas pedal and it did went up to 120kmph, but not going much further.
Is this normal for CVT?

3. When in reverse mode, the car didn't seem to reverse. Press harder and the engine sound loud but only reverse a little bit. Normal?

4. Gear stick sound like very loose with "cluck cluck" sound when press the brake pedal (both engine on and off).

Anyone else in this forum have similar experience, please share with me. Thanks.

My dad's eb 2400rpm is at 110km /h
Accelerate 0-150km/h swiftly
Reverse is hard only if its incline reverse due to cvt characteristic
No cluck cluck sound

On another matter on the EB CFE - anyone went to Genting can share. I know the car climbs effortlessly when going up whatever hills, but coming down, does the CVT gearbox hold on  low gears all the way if travelling at slow to medium speed.
*
It did hold max at 3k rpm during downhill, just press your fuel pedal very slightly to disengage engine braking

You guys have any issue with noise when turning ac? Mine last time got this kreeek sound after turn on the ac. Then i spray the dw40 to the belt. It gone for a while. Now after running the engine for a long time eg on the road, i can hear like a greekk sound pulak. Like when you spin a bearing without its oil something like that. I have went to Proton COE several times but they kept saying the bearing has less lubricant. When they add the lubricant the next day it kept coming again. Any advise here?

yeah want to know the problem too, mine also got squeaking noise when turn on AC

I am with you. Suffered the same things. Aircond thermo amp problem. Got to go 3 times before SC agreed to replace. And 3 times need to take annual leave coz they can only accept claim on weekday. Imagine this is the main SC center of excellence so called.
Others defect are headlamp water ingress, back light LED module problem, driver seat making noise. Rattle sound at dash. Aircond belt noisy.

What can I say is welcome to the club.

Yes some people will said all car got problem. Ever H and T also got what.

So hows your car? Did the SC took the responsibility to repair the damage?

Hey double confirm with all EB owners.

My fuel consumption bout RM0.25/km and thats in city drive. Highway bout RM0.20-0.21/km.

That's quite high considering im driving sedately and really never push that hard. Izit normal to all EB owners?
*
At current petrol price (2.10/L) looks normal to me
0.25/km equivalent ro 8.4km/L

Make sure your tyre pressure at optimum

After updating the ECU my dad said the car like less powerful..

Well..today at highway was chasing a Alphard..I thought Alphard v6 very powerful but then my dad speed up and manage to overtake the Alphard at about 160KM/H then continue 180KM/h since no traffic.
Highway clear..I see that the Alphard can't chase exo..

Yeap. When first I got the car march 2012, it feels so powerful and responsive. The fc meter show at 10.8-11.4L/100km

At 20k service, i decide to ask sc to update ecu/tcu...car feel heeavier and fc at meter also increase..now 12.6L/100km...worst decision ever. That time at forum everyone talking about updating ecu at preve and eb topic.
