Went to Proton showroom afternoon just now. Here's my impression(please ignore my stupid grammar)
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.
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
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
). 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.
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
7.5/10

Dunno why can't upload some pictures
That Honda Accord part. Correct. Driving 2.0. Suprima steering wheel, seats better than the fabric standard seats.
When I saw the car, the key was not there, but I could open the boot. Maybe they disconnected the battery? If the boot opening is not mechanical, then this may be the case. I can see why it is done - to cut cost. Cheaper put electronic remote anyway. Same like it is cheaper to put electronic power steering anyway.
Also, if the boot remote is electronic, proton should change the button from standard mechanical "pull" button to just push button. That way you don't get people trying to yank it open forcefully. A shallow button, like the dash will do. People will understand that.
