Went to Proton showroom afternoon just now. Here's my impression(please ignore my stupid grammar) tongue.gif

Before I went inside the showroom, I make sure not to put my hopes too high since it's a Proton car. But when I saw the car, suddenly I felt soo excited about it. Checked every side of the car, went in and out, knock2 here, knock2 there. tongue.gif

Proton Suprima S Premium okeh:

Exterior:
Although the design of the car is not my taste, but the design is not that bad, in fact the design is really good for a Proton car(I think it's better than dugong Vios). I really like the front grill, the headlamp. The rear looks good too but the rearlamp looks really odd though. Proton could design it better. And this is the first time I've seen a proton car put "Proton" name at the rear of the car. Following Volvo eh? The 17" Aloy rim is stunning. It looks good with the car I tell ya. I really like the car in Blue. Would like to see the car in other colour next time laugh.gif

8/10

Interior:
Here where things get rough. When I went inside the car, the first thing that impressed me was the leather seat. God, its better that what I expected. Been reading someone feedback here about the leather seat where it is better than Civic Hybrid, so I had to check it out. I think it's better than my mom ol' Honda Accord and my friend's Honda Civic. I couldn't say that it feels good like Merc, but nearly the level of BMW leather seat(well, that's what I think. Tumpang my boss BMW car before laugh.gif ). The DASHBOARD is better than Preve, though the layout seems bored, what I hate is the colour of the dashboard. Would prefer a darker dashboard. On the steering wheel, when you grip, hold it, it feels good. The button control, volume control button(whatever people call it) isn't nice to press, you need to press it hard and there's no 'click' sounds but i think it's still bearable though for daily use. The push to start button is there, I think it's locate the same place like the Preve.

At the passenger seats, I'm 168cm tall and there's enough legroom and headroom for me. The leather seats is nice like on the front seats. Didn't face so much problem when seating on the back. The headrest is adjustable. And you will notice a small icon below shows the seat is also design for infant car seats. There's also a port for car charger. nod.gif

Didn't manage to try the GPS navigation as the salesman says the battery were OFF. Couldn't even open the boot to check out the space...Too bad sad.gif

7.5/10

Your name is blue, why no support for blue?? rclxub.gif

I like the blue color. White color I think similar with white preve.

Still OK la. Last Friday I tried to chase a GTR35 from traffic light while driving a stock standard Kelisa.

Within seconds it completely disappeared....on a straight road.  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

It's like "VROOOOOONNNGGGGGG" eh sudah hilang.
Does it matter? Any of them will smoke the Preve/Suprima without batting an eyelid  whistling.gif

Is this a good idea or what? I read it from wikipedia:

does it means, the passenger cannot watch dvd or browse internet when the car is running?? or only driver ? if so, how the hell it knows u r driver or passenger?  hmm.gif

It means the touch sensitive of the screen is disabled when the handbrake are down(shows that you start driving). You can still watch movie

Preve interior sucks.Exterior is good.Design,the body all good.Meter also not nice..buruk..Exora punye more ok..
Proton is very inpassion..they can't wait so they cepat cepat put preve punye interior and design the behind body.Only the suspension is from Lotus..and they put Design by Lotus..Wait slightly longer and we could atleast get a better interior for a hatchback veh.Same engine as CFE..
Price is same as the exora.Rm 80K premium and I think 70K or 76K for executive.


He meant PREVE interior, meter sux. only design and body je good.

Anyone knows what sort of discount can we expect from SA?

No discount since it just launch in this month.

The SA told me I can pick up my car on friday most probably. woooohoooo. smile.gif

What should I check when I first get the car? Any advice?
*
Congratulation!

I think you need to check all the documents, including the service booklet, warranty books, receipt and etc2. Check the car thoroughly and make sure there isn't any external damage like colour wear off, colour tear off, calar balar.

Google "new car checklist".

Do not sign off if there is something wrong with the car. Insist the SA to fix it before accepting the car.

Or ask for another 1. no need to fix it

I hope your urgency won't make you disappointed. If I were you, I would rather wait else it will make me disappointed later on

Honda Accord for Malaysia will get 4 airbags, price is RM150-RM180k. People are complaining, why 4 airbags? Proton offer 6 airbags for Suprima S laugh.gif
