I just sent mine for the 1st service and mine qualified for the change. Do you need to wait for the parts? mine they told me to wait for 2 weeks.

Lucky for me the got stock ready. Just left the car and collect it later

At B-pillar at driver side. Check ur 4 last digit number

Is it official? Got service bulletin?

Looks like all 2013 and earlier chassis no. should be below 45**. When I sent mine for warranty claim last month they did safety checked on cooling fan but didn't change it. Mine is below 45**.

Hi guys I've been following this thread and I'm really really interested in the Suprima S right now. I have never own a Proton before, but the general perception of Proton being Proton is hitting me hard. All thanks to the Proton bashers and the general public. Though my father had a few Protons God knows how long ago, but I was too young to be bothered. I currently drive a Myvi 1.5 and contrary to the general perception, Perodua ain't that great either. It has a few quirky mechanical problems here and there. They still persist until today despite sending it in a few times to the SC for ratification. I finally gave up after almost 3 years.

I test drove my friend's Saga BLM and Persona before and I just love how a Proton rides and handle. The Lotus inspired handling as marketed is no empty promise I would say. I even dare say that the Persona just performs so well at the corners, that it's comparable or perhaps even better than my father's F30 3 Series. So I believe all in all that the Suprima S will not fail in this department.

So I really need to know about the QC, reliability and performance as according to your real world ownership experience out there. I checked out the car and yes the plastic is "cheap" as many would say. But bear in mind that most cars today are plastic anyways. The current gen BMWs have lots of plastic and with that suffers from rattling noise as well.

Forget about the all the other cars in the same price range, all except for the new Honda Jazz and Ford Fiesta. But the Suprima S is on top of my list right now. I just want a car which is fun to drive and yet reliable. I don't really care about brand perception, so what if I drive a Proton. But the truth is we always have to compromise one thing for another. So it's up to you guys to help me seal the deal! I'm going to be stuck with either of these cars for at least 5 years before I can even consider changing car, so I need to make a wise choice here.

I would recommend you test drive it. A test drive is worth a million words.
Prior to my purchase of SS, I test drive Polo Sedan, the new Honda City and SS. My choice is SS. After few months driving it, I can conclude:-
Good points to note:
1.Superb handling - good suspension system - class leading.
2.Good pickup.
3. Segment C car - so it is significantly bigger in space compared to B segment cars.
4. Touch wood - engine no problem, smooth pickup till now.
5. Full specs - paddle shifter, forward sensor, 7" HU, reserve camera, auto cruise, 6 airbags, auto wiper, auto headlamp, full leather seats...the list goes on.
6. ANCAP and ASEAN CAP 5 stars rating - not many cars with such rating in Malaysia.
7. Smooth gear changes - CVT but you are still in control because of paddle shifter, for spirited drive.
8. 3 years free service, 5 years warranty - so this will take care of your worries.

Down points.
1. Engine sound slightly louder than competitor.
2. Petrol consumption - a bit higher - mine is at 12L/100km for urban driving.
(Driving at highway - very economical - can go down to 5 to 6 L/100km at around 90 to 110 km/h.)
3. Boot - cannot open by one press using remote control. I think this is a design problem - hard to fix.
(though you can open it via the driver door panel)

Tips to note:-
Shop around and wait for discount, you may get few thousands ringgit off the official selling price.

If you really love fun ride,then u should go for ss..every week i always try to find a chance to layan corner at high speed with my ss,if u have a chance,go to test and u will know what i mean..other than that it have a few issue but i'm not really care about it,others car also have their own problems

Some of us here have trouble free cars (like me), some have problems (like boot lid). However, since Proton provides 5 year/150k km warranty (provided you don't modify which voids the warranty), I guess it is well taken care of.

If you think Persona is great at driving, wait till you drive the SS Just did a KB-Kuantan return trip in 2 days. The road was fun. I may need new tyres if I keep accelerating like that At least my tyres have past 10k km, which is rare for me. Another thing about having those DRL is that, some people think you are some big conti car and give way, only to see some Proton overtake them. Had fun vs a Civic Type R (or was it a wannabe Type R). I think the person must be doing excess of 140km when he overtook me. It is not easy to pull away from a SS.

When you have people in this forum complaining about the touchscreen, you know the car itself is fine. It also shows that something like the ICE is the "biggest" problem or the 1st thing on people want to change, but no unit can replace all the functions.

KB - Kuantan in 2days? I did kl-cherating with my wife just to have a dinner....seriously i enjoyed driving a suprima....

Return trip laa. KB-Kuantan, next day, Kuantan-KB.

I start my car at 4pm, reach cherating at 8, enjoying my seafood. 10pm return to kl....hehehehhe

How was the development of the manual suprima s? Last heard from here is that they are tweaking the ESP to avoid interfering the system. Any news about it? Was hopping forward they nail it.

Dear all suprima s users, I have a terrible bad experienced to take my car for the 1k service in Apple Auto Service in Serdang Raya. Its an authorised protor dear service dealer. When the mechanic was checking on my disc brake, he didnt lock my front wheel well before lifting the car up the whole car almost drop and the steel which used to lock my car wheel heat the passenger door side bumper and the paint was gone. And now I was waiting for the warranty claim for my radiotor belt and also disc break. But how come he said that they won't replace a new disc break immediately? But to cease it first? I am not sure what is it about. What is the advice? Should i go back to the same shop for the warranty claim or?

Hardcore bro....should try go cameron next,...cup of tea then go down hahah.

Wow.. That suck. I am deeply sorry to hear that.

I think you can write a formal comment letter to Proton as for this matter.

Regarding the brake, is it possible if they lack of part on their storage? Or what's the reason to refuse to replace the brake? Its pretty common problem and should be no lack of part.
