Although this thread hasn't been updated in six years, I wanted to share my thoughts after two years of ownership. I purchased a used Attrage GS for approximately RM 20k.

Engine & Performance
The cabin is very quiet—at idle, I sometimes forget the car is running. NVH levels are decent, though largely dependent on road surface and tire choice. Acceleration is surprisingly good; the 0-100 km/h time is around 12 seconds, comparable to the more powerful Proton Saga MC3.

Handling & Ride
Handling is better than the general consensus suggests. I previously owned an Iriz and a Mazda with adjustable suspension and multilink setups, yet I still enjoy driving the Attrage at highway speeds. While the stock suspension is soft (and worn in my case), resulting in noticeable body roll, the car maintains good grip through corners.

Fuel Economy
The fuel consumption is outstanding. The CVT feels tuned for highway cruising; I achieve great mileage even at 110 km/h+ with a full load. The engine sits comfortably between 2k and 3k RPM at 110 km/h, automatically adjusting RPM on uphills to maintain speed.


Key Features
Audio: Speakers perform very well when paired with an aftermarket Android head unit.
Maneuverability: The turning circle is incredibly tight.
Climate Control: The digital air conditioning works perfectly.
CVT: Almost no whine compared to latest MYVI, only engine/road noise.

Verdict
For the price, I give this car a 10/10. It is a value-for-money vehicle that I genuinely enjoy owning.


FYI : this car almost 50/50 weight distribution, if I am not mistaken, it should be near 53% front / 47% rear. Based on weighing scale
