first of all you got to admit it its a PROTON, coz of some bad impression in the quality and some on going issues. you got to be very passion with so called 'sikit manja'. you got to faced any possibility. if you are so particular about all this, then forget it.  
me, i just ignored any small issue and so far its served me well. its almost three years now(20/02/12), and never regret it. power, handling, comfortable long journey for big family(6 adult+luggage), sportier looks, features and of cause affordable.
btw, ALZA is not a full MPV. i drove my cousin ALZA, sit at the last row, and i can't understand why some still said its better then BOLD.

I do agreed with you. Livina is about RM20k more expensive than the Exora bold and it is smaller.

What prevent me from buying Exora is the name Proton. All my friends who work as foreman & accessories repairman advise me not to buy Proton car & keep asking me to buy Alza instead. The reason is because Alza engine is from Toyota & they claimed much more realiable & the parts is better quality than Proton. But I know Alza is way underpower & the interior inside (looks cheap & plastic) is worst than Exora(looks better & seems better quality).

Its due to the pre-Proton Mitsubishi era, the days of Proton Wira/Iswara/Saga, where built quality is bad, which haunts people from buying a Proton today. That is why Perodua sells more. Its because of people's perception; I buy a Perodua, I am buying a Toyota indirectly.
Furthermore if you notice Proton's way of designing cars, since the Proton Savvy days, they focus on designing the car to be more towards European/Conti. From engine to the body. Even the Exora's engine is quite conti (being Lotus designed), if you notice carefully.

Unfortunately most Malaysians tend to prefer Japanese, reliable but dull looking. I actually like Proton's new Iriz compared to the so-called new MYVI facelift.

I still have the Proton Wira at home for daily usage, and a few things has fallen off itself as time goes by. Including the power window had failed few times.
But engine is still okay though. In fact its smoother than my friend's Myvi (1st generation).

But if you see today's Proton, built quality has improved substantially. But it will take time for Proton to build back their reputation which was damaged 1 decade ago.

i do agree with you. actually its all depends on us, our own definition to describe certain things. my x-car was a WIRA 1.6XLI, served me well for more then 15 years before upgrading to MPV. very sad to let it go, coz got another car for daily used. i do have a choice, but PROTON 'tetap dihati'.

Yes, wira engine is from Mitsubishi Evo III and is a great car except for the plastic body & poor electronics. (particular the auto windows) but the aircon is great! Proton aircon is not bad actually.

Since the launch of Gen2, the perception of Proton had improved due to the Campro engine (corporation with Lotus) & the handling was awesome but Proton still encounter realibility issue (normally after 5 years the car will encounter a lot of various problems).

So you agreed that I should go for the Exora Bold?

New comer at this forum. hope to get a few tips frm u all. this is my third proton cars. currently own kancil, vios and exora bold.

Im sure I've read this before but cant find it

Sometimes my 8mths old exora brake freezes !
Break peddle solid hard cant press down  , and therefore cant stop the car !
Luckily this happened at very low speed , so quickly pull up the hand brakes to stop
So happen 11km already , so Brought it to Segambut SC and told them about it.
They bleed the brake lines and say problem solved .
But today happen again !
Thinking of going to Mutiara SC, but wanna know from LYN members experience on whats the problem and how it was solved and what to look out for
