I drove 3 new Proton from 2009 onwards.
Proton Savvy
The bad :
1. Got the car, paint scratch came from the showroom..
2. Heavy downpour rain water leaks to the cabin light and drops like waterfall to the gearshift stick.
3. Paint so thin that its easily scratched.
4. Service Center SUX since not entertain the 2nd complaint.. (asking me to leave the car for 1 week in SC)
5. After 30k the Clutch feels heavier than Lorry 3 tan.
6. Have to go to Renault Specialist after the free service finished, since most SC don't know how to handle Conti based engine (read: D4F)
The good :
1. Fast and nimble Gokart like handling car.
2. Can tapau a Camry on East coast highway.
3. Top Speed 190 km/h on Gps after De cat and using Open Pod air filter and modified the TDC sensor.
(now use by my niece to go study in UM).
Exora CPS (Malaysia)
The Bad :
1. Out of the box LOUSY pick up due to the ultra stupid calculation CPS engine vs 1.4 Ton exora body.
2. Fuel Pump make sound, goes to COE Service Center in Kesas for claim, they just "Repair it" not even change it, the sound re ocurring after a while. (Changed with help of EOCM help in a normal SC)
3. Power Steering Rubber hose leaks .. (changed with own money as SC mentioned Rubber part not part of WARRANTY)
4. Dashboard rattled just only after 2nd year of ownership.. (but this is expected as Proton without funny2 sound means I am in heaven already).
The good :
1. After pouring in 3k Rm ++ inside the engine. it convert the Sluggish CPS become mivec like behavior. Can toe to toe with Exora Bold in Highway and tailgating Audi Q3/5 (not sure but its Q series) up to genting.
2. Dan syok lotus handling.. (always rembat on kerinchi link corner otw to Office)
3. During my Family gathering, all fam member goes into Exora to go for outing.. (they drove mostly 5 seater car).
4. Aircond Damn sejuk (proton best feature).
5. Good car club community (the biggest in Malaysia) .
6. Always passed Roadblock without much hassle since its a MPV for sake...
7. did i mention lots of space inside the cabin?
Exora CPS (Indonesia)
Got this car when I did the project for a local bank back in 2010/2011 in Jakarta.
The bad :
1. I can't bring it back to Malaysia
2. Less SC in Indon
The Good :
1. MUCH Better build quality compare the exo that I bought in Malaysia and its cheaper.(See above).
2. No complaint so far on the features.
3. Proton Indon apparently have modified their exora with different exhaust system and installed CAI before leaving Showroom and this gives much better response on the CPS especially on the pick-up.
4. Much Better Service Experience, as they listened to your complaint and attend to details and such (which I NEVER experience it in proton after sales service in MY).
There you go.. my experiences related to Proton..
