I tried this morning the +/- with auto wiper and doesn't feel the speed different effect.

Was surprised that the rear wiper on by itself and remembered that it will on by itself when on reverse gear plus wiper in auto mode.

+ will getting fast wipe speed. the only different u can notice during u are driving. higher speed higher wipe speed with higher + sign.

U need to move down the stick.

-Fog - I can't remember. i ride to office today
-Off
-Auto
-Slow
-Fast

The + - just for Auto mode i think.
If you want manual, use slow or fast  hmm.gif

hm.. +- sign is just for auto mode.. auto mode will only wipe the screen when car is moving or heavy rain.. normal rain or small rain wont wipe it.. unless car moving.. below auto mode, there is normal and fast.. no slow speed. manual one can use above Off, wipe 1 time only. useful when rain is small..

Replaced the battery last week. My beloved Suprima S up and sprinting like nobody business again biggrin.gif

On the second note, may I know which brand of tires you guys upgraded to replace the stock one?

Normally we change the tires approximately around 50k KM right?
*
depend on tyre condition only change.. if want upgrade, i will go for michelin Energy series or bridgestone ecopia.. i prefer fuel economy & quiet tyres..

Hmm..About Suprima S Standard. please bear with me.. english not very good

1. Proton, to keep your current owner keep coming back for proton, which group of owner you better take care? It must be the higher price car, the Suprima's, Preve CFE, inspira owner. Coz, let face it, saga owner don't have other choice at that price range. We, the above car owner's have many choice at dat price range (70k-90k). Many i have met can afford higher price car. but they choose SS, Proton. These are your VIP owners. Take care them well & we will come back.

2.But what did you do Proton with these standard version. U Proton take away the safety features  that u loud of in the first place. doh.gif  I own SS premium, & proud of it. Now i feel ripped off. The privilege has gone. I know many earlier executive and premium owner feels the same.

3. What you Proton must do? Maintain suprima suprimacy. Dont take away the safety if u want standard version. Other thing is upgrade the car. i don't care how. R3 or manual..etc. Don't downgrade it. I love my SS & I love Proton
but, you keep it this way Proton, i may never come back....
*
they doing so sure got their own reason.. btw, we as consumer we just choose our prefered models. not to protect, from comparison its really bad choice.. 70k.. vs 73k Preve.. i would take preve..

me too..i would think this would hurt Suprima sale instead of increasing. stripped down features but price still sub 70k mindfcuk rclxub.gif
what makes suprima more pricier than preve premium? it's just a hatchback preve.

unless they market the car as performance variant (i.e Neo Clubsport for example) and put in manual gb tuned to CFE engine, i do not think they can sell Suprima "standard" with premium price hmm.gif
*
if just compare the pricing in malaysia car pricing, its still do have market.. but depend on consumer perception. i still feel SS premium is quite a best deal..

forget the HU and gearbox whining in high speed, its still a great car. but nothing is perfect.. consumer have to choose and spend their own money by their preference. i think proton have improved compare with previous.. but citizen feel not enough..mainly because of the pricing. EXPENSIVE for a local car. Many people rather go to vios,city, almera below 80k pricing.. ppl dont see the specs.. ppl want reliablity, brand, reputation. Proton give ppl bad perception in previous.. what they can do now is improved themselves and time to prove it.. not a easy tasks. same as KIA previously.. but they stand up very quick..

Well i am the traffic light and the light just turn green,so i lightly press the pedal and then suddenly the rpm is at 5k and the exclamation mark is showing

turbo kicks in around 1.8k above.. u can feel the power if u do press pedal 1/3.. but i think rpm wont suddenly increase very significant.. are u in D mode first?? or S or paddle shift mode..

but sounds your situation abnormal la.. i think 5k rpm, in my memory should be around 160 or above?

rpm2k+ 100km/h

Hello guys,
I really need your advise,expertise and experience here.
Just bought suprima premium and receive the car on 31jan. Unfortunately only 1 week use, my car engine couldnt start suddenly.
Tow to proton service centre n they said probably ecu problem.
Till today, 10days in sc, they still cannot solve the problem. They chk ecu is ok, but detect that fuel pump supply error which cant send signal, thus fuel cant go to engine.
They still try to detect which wiring problem caused this.
As cny near by, i feel there is no hope they can do it any soon. Worst, they even said, have to send the car back to s.alam for further diagnosis if still cant solve. So, my questions, have someone here heard or experience the same problem(fuel pump supply error)?Is it possible to get full refund or at least change to another car coz i hv a feeling, mine is a faulty defect car which probability to happen is 1 in a 1000?Any advise, suggestion on what i should do is appreciated.
*
too bad.. but i think u may try to ask whether there is a temporary car for you as a transport..

Not yet. Will try that one. I still need to rewire the tablet so that it functions without the battery. Yesterday I took it out with wifi tethering  on a 6KM route and the tablet remain charged with the 2.1A charger, battery gone down 1% every KM with waze. I use my phone, battery goes up with the 2.1A port. It goes down slowly with the 1.0A charging port. So, I am not sure why the tablet is draining battery even with 2.1A charger. I did put the brightness to max though. Not sure if data can be transferred with BT tethering. Waze on a 7" tablet is still way better than a 5" phone. Also, with a tablet, I don't get that annoying screen changing when someone calls me.
Can help me find a suitable case. I have been using the suction cup at the next to the left AC. It works well for the phone and tablet. However, putting a 7" tablet on the left side is weird. Not nice. Ideally the best place would be above the centre AC vents. I did find another kind of stand like taxi where it is mounted from the seat nut from the floor. Not ideal at all. That type guarantee sturdy.

I noticed that the Yes Huddle holder can be used to hold my note 3 nicely. will try that. Also will try putting the included adhesive smooth round base on the dashboard since the SS dash is pretty textured. I am not sure if it will stick there though. I don't want the tablet hanging from the window and anything too near the window will obstruct view.

If you look at the SS dash and compare it with the Merc A class dash, even though the screen looks out of place in the A class not nicely fitted with the console, there is a thick pillar behind it above the round AC vents. On the SS dash, there is no thick pillar. So it limits where to place a possible mounting base.

I think for now, the best solution to mount is using the adhesive smooth round surface provided with the huddle on top of the AC vents. That way, if I want to remove the tablet, all which is left is that round item. Still looks ugly to me though as there is a puck to content with. That is why I'm open to ideas.

try use the magnetic phone holder.. the holder is not typical suction cup one.. it's slot into cd slot.. maybe you can look into mountek snap 3.. something like that.. if you know taobao, you may look into alternative which is brandless, much more cheaper option than mountek..

average mountek cost around RM120 (free shipping).. while taobao brandless just cost rm30+- (included shipping). and im using one and recommend to most of my colleagues also using.. we found its really useful to take and put the phone on magnetic holder..

I just visited Mr DIY shop. They are selling it for MR 13. I have had a look at it. the flaps are one spreading upwards and downwards. I see the CD slot is quite narrow. I assume this flaps give way easily so it mounts inside the car upwards and downwards. I think if I use this kind of flap the central AC vents will be blocked?
yes.

Mr DIY do sell this magnetic CD slot Mount??? for me, yes, slightly blocked center AC..

i do saw Mr DIY selling CD slot mount for tablet i think, but not magnetic one.. waa if DIY selling it, then its good for some owner.. the best for those driving ford, hyundai while their center AC vents is on side of HU, like Iriz setup.. which is very suitable and didnt block the AC.. for us, HU is under the AC, so our phone might block some of the AC..

but it do have pro and cons.. while using GPS and charging in car, AC blow toward our phone and wont get heat during travel and using GPS.. con is blocking some of the AC.. but during my travel time, no problem for rear passenger..

Are they noticeable improvement
From the Proton Preve to Proton Suprima

Bcoz currently I am considering on getting a Proton Preve used
But I heard Proton Surpima got some improvement for the CVT gearbox and engine 

I got a question
I planing to buy a Proton Preve or Suprima

Proton Preve is cheaper
Becoz I am getting a used

But are there any improvement in Suprima
In the engine and cvt gear ???
If yes then I will consider suprima ?
*
if you going to get a preve, at least get the year of 2014 and above..TURBO emblems instead of CFE.. i noticed some changes in gearbox like from CVT 3 to CVT3+.. the gearbox of 2014 Preve Turbo version same as suprima gearbox already.. but different tuning for both cars..
