lols too bad lah then Various Fiesta threads already mentioned this.

I wonder why since Proton went for the electronic boot release, they didn't also put a button on the hatch itself like Contis and certain Japanese cars.

Even the Myvi have a (cable operated) latch on the hatch so that users can open the boot without having to use the remote or open the driver side door.

Just a personal preference. Probably if Proton did that they will be bashed as well when ppl complain the boot will then be able to be opened from the outside....

What defensive stance? what are you implying?

I was not defending Proton for not implementing the boot release latch on the hatch itself, if that's what you're thinking.

I was wondering why they didn't, that's all.

Myvi also

Wow I didn't know it has this feature, very nice. All we need next is remote wind down windows

Oh I didn't know Exora and Preve already have this feature, I wonder if owners are aware

At least during my visit to Ford and VW showrooms they will tell me about these features, no such luck in Proton showrooms. Heck, I think even the SA's are not aware.

It could be quite convenient for me actually

Another factor is the cruising RPM, which depends on the gearbox ratios.

I like that you have surveyed 100 people and found only 1 person satisfied

Suprima/Preve is force induction C-seg, still acceptable. Inspira also using 17" IINM.

Tell that to Naza Kia with their 1.4l SX Rio

Skip to 5:45 to see

Yes. On the Suprima the rear seat belt rests on top of the rear seat backrest. When you pull the backrest down the seatbelt will be pulled down as well.

As you see on the video, the Golf's rear seatbelt rests on a plastic groove beside the backrests instead of the backrest itself, so when you pull the backrest down the seatbelt stays put.

Yea I saw

Proton Preef

Because the clutch closes slowly.

If you really wanna try, use handbrake instead of using footbrake, but may damage your gearbox or burn your clutch if overdone it.

Suprima poliskar, highway chase maybe will give those 1.8l NA or smaller engine cars a run for their money la. Against larger engine cars and/or in urban environments, it's a different game liao....unless their Suprima is MT and their engine is tuned up to take advantage of the MT gearbox.

Otherwise, it is just a replacement for their aging Wira/Waja/Saga fleet.

But a word of advice for those ahbeng Vios/Saga/Myvi/Fiesta/Swift/City/Jazz/Wira etc. etc. don't be so confident about outrunning poliskars in urban roads because you think your car got better pickup and more nimble than the gorilla Suprima, because

a) They are trained drivers. Ahbengs....probably are not.
b) Your car kenot outrun bullets.
