there is also weight sensor under passenger front seat to prevent airbags activation if u forget to off front passenger airbag incase u put stuff, a baby on baby seat infront,todler(which isnt recomended),small kid. cant rember exactly, whether weight below 20kg or 15kg it will deactivated. for safety reason n for save a bit of pockdt money replacing pass airbag if nobody sitting there.

i know this maybe out of context,since u mentioned its ur 1st car,n u mentioned to use 4 15 years which i cnsider quite hard to the market trend n its ur 1st,one day u may want to change car sooner than expected,why not cnsider saga sv. cheaper can save up a bit of cash for petrol,maintenance n future upgrade. u can opt 4 myvi also but maybe u need a boot space in future that cause u to upgrade earlier. so,saga sv may can serve u longer b4 upgrade to a bigger car or mpv when ur family grow bigger.
just my 2 cents

herm,pwrwindow isnt a problem actually. fuel,old saga,4at cnsume more than new cvt. unless u rev@drive punch cvt like auto,then it will suffer same faith.
ill already posted on punch cvt at saga thread. u can look it up.

on average, rm 50@1.90 city driving,300 to 350km. highway,350 to 450km,depend on speed,legal speed,average 400km.mix driving, 320 to 370km.

but drive like auto gearbox, it will only last 250km for rm50@1.90.

not the most fuel efficient in town,just average. hways,on par with many,but u already save up some cash early by buying saga. 15k ++ is a lot of money for fuel and maintenance compare to preve iafm,n even much more saving cmpare to cfe preve.

and pwr windows components are under warranty for 10years. so if broken,replaced it foc.

just go directly to saga thread n ask them. they r quite active. u can ask problem start from saga blm until saga flx se. most of them just suffering face/water face problem :-),just kidding on last part.

im talking about saga flx by the way

wait until 10k service,then its optimum then. for preve iafm,the weight did hampered its city drive. and rm50 is old price,now around rm55. and its on average.

but i can give u a tip on how to juice up ur fc n understand how punch cvt work. apply to all,same as cfe.

in city traffic, when u stop at traffic n want to start moving,never press ur throttle 1st,wait until the car start moving or rolling bx itself n the rpm raise by 1krpm++,then u start to press the fuel pedal.

2nd, for punch cvt, there are 3 diff strategies applied.

no 1, 1k rpm to 1.6 krpm,torque being reduce a bit for ease of parking,crawling in traffic jam and driving around housing area when speed is only up to 40kmh max.

when u r crawling in traffic jam,stop n go movement when speed isnt exceeding 40kmh,just rev around that region.

no 2, 1.7krpm to 1.9krpm,or exactly below 2krpm,for city driving n slow hway cruising,the engine wil labour for optimum fuel efficiency,same as cvt ratio. yup its feel slow,but adequate enough in city driving where speed is not more than 80 kmh. so,if ur driving in town n traffic is smooth,only stop at traffic light,n after that smooth,then rev around this region.

no 3,2k rpm and beyond,this is when the character of cvt change,for cfe,of course feel like a massive torque,for iafm+,u will feel its power start to come.
the cvt ratio is more on agressive ratio,where low ratio is being given utmost priority,to ease overtaking,sudden acceleration,fully loaded, hill climbing etc. slam the pedal a bit beyond 2k rpm,even at 2.1krpm,u will feel diff feeling compare to below 2krpm, u can hear the cvt n engine roar a bit. this is where normally people will drive,but being cvt,that is not the most fuel efficient.

and since cvt, u will feel below 2krpm is really slow,but actually its not that slow. the speed still climb as conventional at at around 2k to 2.5krpm,due to smoothness,u feel it slow. thats why many kaki's dont like cvt,it doesnt give manly feeling same as manual or conventional auto or dsg.

and dont use sat function for iafm unless u know how to manipulate it. it may give better acceleration feeling,but just the feeling,not the speed.

try out urself,using sat,rev not exceeding 2krpm each gear,driving in full cvt mode,slam to 2krpm. cmpare the feeling and the speed.

and in teribble traffic cndition, only 3 cylinders n hybrid n turbo diesel can survive better.

average is only at normal traffic cndition. not withstanding how long is ur car been idling in traffic also wasting of fuel.

try to practice what i mentioned earlier.

:-) u can actually predict the traffic,when it start to move.its not really taking time to wait like 5 seconds,it just merely a second,and it will accelerate better when clutch fully release without need to press more.

but then,its up to you. just sharing it. many have tried it without a problem or any big lorry leave u 50 meters behind.

same as manual car,i dont see manual car lunch toward as fast as conv at coz they need time to realease the clutch n at the same time pressing the accelerator pedal,unless u rev it high earlier for

even if u press the pedal without let the clutch release 1st,n u r daydreaming, u aint going fast either n ended up being honk by others :-).

its up to you, never force or mentioned its compulsory to do.dont bother it if dont like it.:-), i just sharing info how to get more juice which isnt something which being told everyday.

im not being complicated. revving more the speed that u needed is a waste. even revving 1.9k rpm which below 2k rpm at parking lot not needed.

as i said,just sharing info n trying to help,not forcing. then i shud left u guys alone then.

im sorry coz make it too complicated n maybe offended some of u.

please report ur case by calling or emailing wecare asap,especially on compulsory buying magnettrap. its recommended,not compulsory though. cant force the customer. but the good thing is he asked u 1st b4 installing.

for engine oil,some use barrel,some use bottle in branch sc. normally stated in the slip.

gbox shiftlock. normal.

cif cost from thailand doesnt include distributor profit.. so the balance is tax plus distributor profit. in thailand also u dnt get thailand focus at 36k.

prtn is subjected to same exice tax as focus albeit lower coz lower engine capacity which is the same as others at same engine cc tax bracket and same 10% sales tax.

if focus is qualified under afta rules, 30% of import tax shud be waived. the only excise n sales tax is applicable.

excise tax for prtn is 75% plus 10% sales tax. in thailand, tax bracket around 30% to 60%. tax treatment need to be fair under afta across asian. the only thing can reduce the tax is by introducing some program like hybrid car tax waving in malaysia n low cost green car program as in thailand n indonesia,but it must be apply to all car makers,not only for local car.

if not,u r breaching the cntract under afta n fta, which the country can be banned from selling own prduct n can be fined.

hi all, just sharing a bit,just realise last year, proton bandung jawa had uploaded a few of crashtest done for exora,n which some of them not even being tested by any ancap. its only a part of crashtests being done showed in the video,n that is how prtn done their testing. its actually internal video,but since uploaded by the dealer,its ok i guest. just hope u guys can learn a bit on part of making cars,not as simple one might think. sorry for offtopic,the video is in youtube. sorry in advance on earlier comments on tax,just answering the question. sory also 4 being offtopic in this comment.
