agree. the noise not a big problem to me, even my wife and children having a good sleep for every long distance journey.

finally did my 40k service today after 34 months of age at RM348.50. acceleration feels smoother. ABS sensor and radiator nipple yet to order. left 2 months before warranty expired.

if you choose the BOLD@turbo, bare in mind to managed your right foot how to behave. the power itself will spoil everything. i always speck to myself to calm down, but ended 'cocok' almost everybody. getting 10-11KM/L(highway}, is good enough for me. the worse part, always 'kene' speed trap.

yeah. if we too concern about the FC, then BOLD is not a good choice. yes its a family car, but not so call friendly family car that you go for 'santai-santai'. what under the hoot, is more than that.
different people comes with different words. honestly, i owned this mammoth mainly coz of it's power, comfortable for the whole family, especially for a long journey, and of cause affordable.
actually its my second car. just for weekend 'jalan-jalan makan angin' only. for almost three years(02/12), its just clock 39+++KM on the odo. that's why i really don't care much about the FC. once hands behind the wheel, just shoot out 'secukop rasa'.
throughout my experience, at any condition, if we play up to 3000RPM only, we still can manage a good FC.

i remembered my SC told me, actually its not a good practice to refuel until the indicator start blinking. if the car is moving, at certain situation, it may effect the fuel pump if the air is allowed to flow into the fuel line. just to play safe, i refuel soon after the sign 'km to go' shows <100KM. mana tau jalan lagi tak jumpa petrol station, nanya.

i've done twice at >195. just to say 'cocok' some bigger CC.

too bad somebody out there don't want to admit it, just because its PROTON.

changed my radiator nipple today. what a shock, the foreman told me that the plastic nipple already got a crack line and may break at any time. so friends out there, better replace yours before its to late. i'm just very very lucky.

if you can detect any lick at the nipple before start your journey, then its good enough so that you can shoot straight to the nearest SC. but its not a ready stock. a normal SC will ordered on demand. i had to wait mine's for a week.
jut imagined if you are on a long journey, in a middle of a night, at high speed and its happened. no sign at all when its going to burst due to high pressure, and when its happened, the temp will raised to the maximum, and its already too late.
when this issue brought out, i dare not to do any long distance journey until its already replaced.

what to do. just wait and hoping it won't burst until you get it replaced. i do have another car for daily used. so the BOLD just parked or only drive short distance around my area until the SC called for the replacement. now it all over and i really 'lenjan' the car to 'lepas gian'.

i think its not the petrol brand caused our friend's problem. i do used shell once awhile and i don't have such a problem. yes, i do feel a bit differ when i pumped caltex/bhp, smoother and better pick-up when floored the throttle.

welcome to the 'kepizzz kepizzz' club.
the noise, just to tell everybody that you are on turbo now. so don't play play aaa.
i once whacked at 3000RPM as the odo passed 500KM. really cannot 'tahan'.

its already known issue. the SC will ordered it as soon as you report in. its a priority. i claims two items, the nipple and ABS sensor. so the SC chased for the nipple first as the ABS sensor still can wait coz its out of stock. the SC at Bukit Serdang took about ten working days to get the nipple. now only the ABS sensor yet to wait and they said maybe i can get it by next week.

the GRRRR sound are normal, but mines, the ABS indicator light up and once checked up, one of the sensor not functional. at high speed, its like break 'tak makan'. it did stop, but if emergency might be very dangerous. so got to be extra alert.
my odo was 38+++KM when it happened.

biasa laaa PROTON. what to do. take it or leave it.

Today checked on my SC about the ABS sensor i claimed last month. So upset, they said PROTON out of stock coz of too many complained regarding this thing. Don't know how true is it or another big issue beside the radiator nipple. any idea about this puzzle.

on my way back home just now saw a facelift BOLD on a treller at jalan KLANG-BANTING. black strip on the door and the thing made me jealous, the bumper 3rd brake light.
managed to snap a photo, but can't download. may try again later.
