Hi folks,

New forum user here, but owning a red Suprima S since 11 December 2013.

I chose the Suprima S purely because it's the most affordable car with 6 airbags and top ISOFIX tethers for all 3 back seats. Handling, brakes and other stuff are all important, but many other cars have those, while few cars provide 6 airbags and space for 3 kid carseats within my price range. As far as I know, it's only this one.

I just want to add my feedback from the angle of a child passenger safety-conscious parent.

1. I feel the bottom ISOFIX attachment points are a little too high. To me, the points should ideally be exactly where the seat and the seatback join, but that's just a small preference.

2. When I install my son's carseat in the center (using seatbelt; manual says not to use ISOFIX bottom tethers in center seat), the carseat tilts, because the edge of the Suprima's seat cushion gives way without support on one side of the carseat. I haven't been able to get the carseat installed tightly enough in the center seat that it doesn't tilt, because the seat cushion is strong on one side (middle of the 2-seat cushion), but soft at the edge. For now, I can put my son's carseat on the outer seats, but I'm aiming for three children (I have one now) and so I'm going to have a headache trying to get a carseat or booster that doesn't tilt in the middle of the car eventually...

If anyone has any suggestion to fix this middle seat tilting issue, do let me know. Not an urgent problem, since I can install on the outer seats, but it bugs me greatly because safest position in the car SHOULD be the middle, but due to the softness of the suprima's cushion edge, the safest position in the car is compromised.

Hope my feedback helps other parents out there and I hope Proton takes note for future versions!

I hated the tint because it was too dark for me while driving in the rain or at night. Most likely, my eyes are the problem, but it still meant that I had to get the tint replaced to silver colour, just so I could see more clearly while driving. I like the silver against my red SS better too. The tint that came with it sometimes looked green, which is too garish with a red car, IMO. I wouldn't have replaced it if it wasn't for the fact that my visibility was bad in rain and at night, though.

Yah, will ask doctor to check at next check-up. But since I changed the tint I've never encountered any further visibility problem and I don't have this problem with any previous cars.
