I was in Johor Bahru from Thursday to Friday on business and while driving from PJ, I decided to utilize the cruise control to the max, along the North-South Expressway.

One thing I can say is that Proton has definitely done a good job for the Exora's cruise control, which is very responsive and I also like that little boost that kicks in when the car climbs an uphill slope. Best of all, even on cruise control set at 120kph, I have managed to overtake many other cars, including Teanas, Alphards, Estimas, CX-5, and even some sports coupés!

Hi .

I owned EB since end September 2014 (mileage 19k). So far no major issue encounter, only small things like knock sound after bumper and slow paddle response (rectified already). But last month i did tire alignment& balancing. I swapped rear tire with front tire (both sides) due to "botak" condition. Then after 1 week, my steering vibrates at speed 110-120kmh. It will goes off and no vibrate at all at 120kmh++ onward.  It this tire issue? Need your expert advise on this. Thanks in advance

The stock tyres, BAX2, is tested to be one of the best wet grip 205/55 R16 tyres, just below PS3.

Uneven wear usually happens to the front. The way I see it, I've driven it hard, plus the weight of this vehicle and that somehow mine needs frequent alignment.

Fact is, tyre noise will increase over the lifespan, but more importantly this tyre does not degrade in performance towards its end.
I've driven it as front tyres with the tyre tread already at safety mark in the rain. In the end, I've replaced them with another pair of BAX2.

For Exora Bold, the best tyre size is the stock one for balanced treadwear, wet/dry grip.
Ideally, can go up by one rim size which is R17, but this will increase FC and costs more per tyre change.
R18 may start to cause poor grip and handling. I've managed to find a website that tried same car (not Exora of course), same tyre model with different rim sizes to find the sweet spot.

My consideration is based on the following, in order of importance:
- Wet Grip, Treadwear Rating, Dry Grip, Price, Warranty

I compared the BAX2 with the following:
- Hankook Ventus V2 - My 2nd option. Treadwear 400.
- Falken ZE912/ZE914 - 3rd option, need to order.
- Toyo Nanoenergy 3 - next option.

Some comments about other tyres I've looked into and findings after visited several tyre shops:
- Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE002 - more expensive, very short treadwear rating. Traction reduces significantly over lifespan.
- Bridgestone Ecopia EP200 - more expensive, eco tyres. Indonesia made with no UTGQ labels. Questionable tyres...
- ContiMaxContact - super expensive, poor grip over lifespan
- Good Year NCT5 - same price. Average Joe tyres. so-so review.
- Good Year Assurance AG2 (Armor Guard) - more expensive, less grip, poor reviews.
- Good Year Assurace TripleMax - more expensive, so-so review.
- Michelin XM2 - About same price, eco tyre.
- Michelin PS3 - RM400 tyres... the best. KIV option.
- Silverstone Atlantis V7 - more expensive. Poor reviews. Supposedly using Toyo technology.
- Yokohama BluEarth AE02 - more expensive. Good review. KIV option.
- Pirelli Cinturato P1 - slightly more expensive. good reviews. Stock available are China made...
- Toyo DRB
- Viking brand - Continental brand tyres. more expensive.

I got the BAX2 for RM270 including valve, balancing, alignment, and GST.

Hi

My exora bold has some issue..When driving, its making a tak tak tak noise and feels underpowered. I brought it to proton coe, and they said the turbo charger is tersumbat..thats why there is that noise and underpowered. They said have to replace the turbocharger unit which will cost around 7k.

Anyone faced similar problem before? Is the turbocharger repairable instead of replacing it?

Just said this 2 days ago, and today the ABS light decided to light up on me

Restarting the engine made the light go away though

Adding a oil catch can will help slow down sludge buildup in engine?
Does exora have oil catch can?

Sent my car to the SC to diagnose the wiper issue. Apparently it's not the motor problem but it's the switch damaged. Since I working at small town now so they no stock for the parts and have to order.

Hopefully it comes soon.

Just changed 2x Michelin tyre. Rm 480 all in

Guys wanna ask about exora dvd player (roof mounted)

any idea if I can fit a bluetooth wireless transmitter to the roof mounted unit and transmit sound to the head unit via bluetooth?

if yes any place I can buy that bluetooth transmitter and approx price? TQ

(I went to accessory shop, asked to help sort out the sound system for the roof unit, guy at shop say can't do and some sarcastic remarks about proton dvd player.... asked him to fit DIY USB speaker for me also not willing to do.... problem is playing DVD roof unit through FM channel gets alot of interference)

Hmm..
So today I was changing all my tyres. (at regular tyre shop,not proton)
Upon checking, the mechanic guy said, the steering rack bush need to change cos the steering rack moves when we turn the steering.
But they don want change it cos its already late afternoon and everyone CNY mood liao.

but question is, is this thing under warranty or its consider wear n tear already?
I bought my car June 2014, now mileage is just over 40,000.
Just done 40k servicing last month.

Imma try to record a video when i can find someone to turn the steering while im at the boot capturing video.

Had my first service at bangi. Asked them to check the issue with the brake. They said that this happened to some exora owners in which the linkages that holds the parking lock at the cvt gearbox kind of loose sometimes. Need to send to coe due to the no sparepart.

Has anyone encountered the same issue?

On the other hand. Drove my eb to terengganu and back. Milleage 1330km. 550km for RM70. No other issues. Really spacious and roomy. Auto-cruise really improved my long straight driving experience. Reverse camera does help but it only focuses at the centre of the mpv. Pick-up is really good. Really satisfied. (Though this anoyying tak sound should be adressed ASAP by proton).

Hi EB owners,
Checking with you guys....any of you experienced, when reversing the EB, there's kinda scratching sound coming from the tires...is it something to do with brake pads? brake caliper???

huhhu mine one not only in the morning or after car wash..everytime bro....

u already know got so many many many problems. management also got problem. Somemore asked advice. go for japs la. sure 100% no problem one. Can use until dead.

Want problem free, pls get Japanese makes.
No dilemma.

bro, go for Honda or Toyota...more reliable i guess

bro, u maintain service at every 10K or 5K? Semi syn oil? All the while at Proton SC?

GM all,

Would like to check if anyone have any information or idea on how disable the passenger seat air bag ?
