Today drove a client's FLX exec nearly accident! Its my fault I was rushing through Jln Istana doing like 120kmh, didn't really pay attention to the meters. It was a curve & suddenly saw a car broke down at fast lane! Instant reflect look for escape on the middle lane but got traffic, the next thing I can remember to do is hard brake! The brake force from soft to turn hard can be felt instantaneously. I remember my right foot was feeling the brake pedal rejecting/vibrating like a warp disc rotor. I release my thumb from the inner diameter of the steering wheel to avoid injury, and was anticipating a full frontal collision.

In split second, the right foot vibrating sensation stopped. The car was fully stopped. By visual judgement I saw the distance between the FLX ayam driving was about a feet close to the broke down vehicle infront. Now only I realized the car infront is a Carens. I engage R shift, release my right foot but the car aint move. Only I realized my left foot also on the brake pedal

Phew!

one question, how to do emergency braking? just press brake once really hard, or pump frequently?

dugong baru



nampak macam gaga+almera

tapi way better than the previous dugong design imo..

I feel that lately my engine roar very loud but the car pickup decreased. I've FS installed but this is weird. Seem like something not right.

I think the new defect for Proton's car now is LED brake lamp easily spoil. I dun know la, Perodua LED, u Proton also LED, but i saw a lot of Persona and Exora LED brake lamp either unlit or dim...i really no idea why LED also can spoil. almost no different to those China made LED bulb...

If a Proton car does not make any weird sound, it is not a Proton car.

Other than the usual rattling in the cabin that were solved DIY (Most of it are from the doors and the aircon vents), My FLX SE also had drumbrake sound and exhaust buzzing sound, all of which were resolved under warranty.

Handling-wise, Persona is better. Saga comes a close second in that price bracket, especially after installing the front and rear strut bars.

So far that defect is quite rare and AFAIK is limited to FLX SE only.

how was the saga FLX ?
Hear my friend front seat very straight. not very comfortable..
kancil seat better than saga FLX seat.

still dilemma whether wann buy saga FLX SE o not

previously just turn up the music volume to 'ignore' the sound..
but now more n more annoying dy..
cannot tahan..

wah too much different 
thanks bro, didnt see that 

dunno about that, just hearsay right? 

how big the flx oil tank? every time i pump rm 4+.++ it will full jo

rmb one time i try that and the bill show rm57.50..

Day running light is a cosmetic item. Nothing much to do with safety. Want your car to be seen clearly at night, go put reflectors. Cheaper i reckon.

how dare you say reapers show-off punya olang.  he want to blind the satellites only... the main reason we have problem have receptions with asterok.

Was using Jalan Dengkil heading Banting direction, a grey dugong J at the back, swaying in/out wanted to overtake a poor red Shawie. Dugong didn't managed to overtake bcoz opposite traffic quite heavy. Until both car reached a traffic light. Poor red Shawie go to the left lane, grey dugong stop on the right.

As light turn green, red Shawie flicker the clutch at 4krpm, launched out 1st gear hitting 6krpm. Dugong was side by side, as Shawie engaged 2nd gear with short wheelspun, hitting 6krpm at about 80kph, dugong got slightly left behind. 3rd gear declutched hitting 100kph in split second. The moment Shawie look at the side mirror, dugong already eating smoke despite can hear the dugong engine sounded like falling off. Shawie took a step back and let the angry dugong go. Shawie continue its journey with happy mood and enjoying the bliss.

As Shawie reaching another traffic light, stopped right behind the grey dugong earlier. As light turned green, the dugong sprint like a mad cow. Shawie got no intention to catch up, but watching the crazy dugong overtaking road vehicles like racing time to get home wanna take a shit break. Within few KM distance, dugong already disappeared from Shawie skyline. Shawie continue its journey staying away from the dugong as Shawie think the dugong is driving dangerously.

As Shawie reaching Banting town, infront traffic start building up & crawl slowly. Not far from Jabatan Pertanian Kuala Langat, there's the grey dugong resting at the opposite road, lying down peacefully. As Shawie driven by, can see the cute little dugong looked absofukinlutely no harm but lying on the ground very low, only notice not far from dugong got a complete set of front right wheel + disc brake set + lower arm joint. Looks like the grey dugong doesn't know opposite road got a very deep pot hole, ran over & broke its lower arm during over taking.

On the way back to Sepang after settle some document in Banting, Shawie got caught in a few kilometer standstill traffic. So Shawie decided to take some high cholestrol cockle fried noodle. After another half an hour, Shawie continue its journey, when passing by the scene dugong already gone home/dugospital. Left very deep scratch trail on the road. Suggested that the dugong has its lower arm broken, impaled its cross member & oil pan on the ground.

RIP dugong.

From Shawie & family

Ps: Morale of the story, don't assume no on going traffic means very safe to overtake. Sometimes accident can caused by road condition. Ayam glad that dugong didn't cause other casualty. Be safe, drive safe.

Pps: Luke commented, how come everyone get near to YAB also ended up in an accident? I personally pledged that I have done nothing to cause this particular unfortunate incident.
