Sounds really dangerous

When the secondary fan kicks in after I shut off the engine, usually when i step out of the car, I can feel alot of hot air coming out from the bottom of the car. I assume the air is flowing from the front end to the bottom of the car..
I wonder if the cover will affect that flow of air

It's normal to have burning smell every once in a while. I encounter burning smell too sometimes although rarely when I drive very aggressively or put the pedal to the metal
Not sure about SAT mode though. Never really played with it

L mode COULD be used as sport mode since it does rev more eagerly compared to D mode.
But what I noticed is that once you release the throttle, engine braking will automatically kick in regardless of what speed you are at.

I personally don't see it being a sport mode due to the engine braking characteristic of L mode.
I only use it when I have a full load of passengers and I need the engine to rev easier from a standstill, then when I feel the speed has picked up enough I switch back to D

(by full load I mean 7 adults)

I guess no one here is as daring as you to travel at such speeds with cruise control

Mind if I ask, what is the main purpose of the LED? Is it supposed to act like a side mirror turn indicator?

Looks really cool indeed

it's normal

Hello and welcome!

Indeed the fuel consumption for the EB is high. But MPVs can never be compared with sedans when it comes to driving dynamics and especially fuel consumption.
Try comparing the EB with it's true rival, the Toyota Innova which is also a C-segment MPV. That one does 10km/L at best in real world driving but yet is underpowered and drives like a lorry!

The most important thing to remember, most of the time manufacturer's claims of fuel economy are untrue in real world everyday driving. Their claimed figures usually involve "optimum conditions" for the best fuel economy such as 90km/h constant speed on highway without braking.

For me, I average 8km/L in 100% city driving, but the figures improve to 12km/L with 100% highway drive.
Still quite a high figure but fuel economy was never Proton's forte anyway

I find that the EB has alot of vibrations going on when accelerating compared to other cars.
The sounds are especially obvious since the materials they use for the cabin are all cheap hard plastics. No vibration cushion whatsoever for items placed in storage compartments.
My own DIY method for reducing the vibration sounds is by placing an anti-slip rubber mat in those compartments

Does anyone else's EB overcrank occasionally too when starting the engine? Mine occured twice this week already.
Although my friend who owns a Myvi 1.3SE says that his car too, occasionally overcrank when starting the engine

remap ECU = update ECU version? is it the same thing? If so, I plan to get my EB's ECU updated during next service

So just a simple ECU update will fix it?

Yes it's normal. Lots of new cars have this. Rev limiter

Selamat Hari Raya to all Muslims
Drive safe!

Agreed. Luckily my experience with Proton SCs so far still good

If I'm not mistaken, EB Executive is the one with the CPS engine
EB Standard and EB Premium on the other hand, has the CFE turbo engine

edit : I can see the confusion now. The engine performance stats listed on Proton's website is all wrong LOL

edit2: Here's an old brochure, but definitely more accurate than the website's descriptions.
The EB Executive variant is listed here

Hello and welcome, new owner!

I only have had experience with Glenmarie Temasya SC and Mutiara D'sara SC. Both are good but I personally prefer the Mutiara D'sara SC as the workers there (to me) are much slightly more friendly and professional

Can try pm vincent818 if you are in PJ area. Good discounts and good service.
Got my EB from him

I don't use the DVD player so I can't answer your question. So here's a free bump for you

Need response from the newer owners about this

I think you are referring to the CPS engine model regarding the PRND32 gear configuration. The CPS engine model has the conventional 4 speed gearbox.
Whereas the Exora Bold Standard and Premium has the CFE turbo engine and comes with CVT gearbox, thus only have PRNDL gear configuration

Just like what calmshot said in the post above, the L gear found in the increases responsiveness of the throttle (for uphill drives) and at the same time has more aggresive engine braking characteristic

Here's a glamour shot of my own EB
So far so good
