Ya, I agreed. It's useless unless replace with a camera or use as auto brake or adaptive cruise control to slow down when there's car in front.
I'm a lousy driver. Once I didn't estimate properly the divider in front then scratch. The car next to me look at me in surprise and said wah so loud the scratch sound. Another time reverse didn't notice the wall hit at the corner of the bumper. Lucky not serious, the plastic hook dislocated and can just manually push back the bumper.

Sometimes it would be useful when we want to squeeze through car blocking partially the road exit at traffic light. It would also help when we want to do side parking and can avoid the side manhole where most of the time the metal grille got stolen.

Now Toyota Vios also got 360 camera already!

U need to drive more often..

Yes the suprima is big by malaysian made car standards.. but it would still fit nicely in a standard parking box..

Last I heard they still have stock for 2014 model. Just to share, I went to two Proton sales center around my neighborhood and both just offering 8k discount with 1 month waiting time whereas this guy offering 14k with ready stock.

Give this guy a call, 0126503863 (Ben). Just tell him you're recommended by the guy came all the way from Ipoh and you will have the best deal.  biggrin.gif

Like derrick mentioned, there should be no different other than the value of the car drop as year goes by. As long there's warranty from the day you register the vehicle, shouldn't be a big deal. I have claimed the spoiler led brake light, reverse sensor, engine mounting with no fuss. 2014 or 2015 is still a great buy. rolleyes.gif

Depending where they store the old stock. Most common problem rust at the brake discs and even the brake calipers. Wiper blades rubber deteriorate. Maybe some problem on the battery left idle could reduce it's lifespan. Spent more time at workshop to get defective parts replaced.

Just make sure they replace everything that has worn out due to exposure to the sun. Roof linings, wiper blades, paint (important), tyres (Proton is giving Continental CSC 3 tyres for free due to quality problems with the Achilles 2233 tyres), and etc.

Found Preve owner had already installed 360 surround parking camera and replacing the infotainment system with Kenwood DNX8160S 7" if I'm not wrong and cost about 3K (infotainment unit only).
Look like it didn't really fit well. I found it at Etoni facebook.

Is Suprima really that powerful? I read from FB that this car can challenge BMW 3 Series and Civic Turbo.

No offence here, just curious. In fact, I am considering of buying one this year or next year.

Preve/suprima power is adequate but it cant compare with both of the car above.

Does anybody know what suspension bushings the suprima uses? Rubber or Polyurethane?

How much does the bushings cost anyway?
I'm wondering if I change it to better rubber ones if available it will reduce road boom/noise over rough surfaces

Thank you

Road noise over rough surface has nothing to do with the bushings.. a better set of tyres would do great.. Michelin Primacy 3ST is great.. and Yokohama Advan dB too.. but it cant do magic.. i presume u still on the achilles? rough surface will always have road noise.. sound dampening would help great...

PROTON SUPRIMA S,merupakan model paling terbaik dan paling tercanggih.Menggunakan enjen CFE turbo 1.6 campro vvt dan sistem gear box yang canggih iaitu cvt 3 yang final drive tinggi sedikit dari preve.Model ini dilengkapi dengan system paddle shift system.Banyak system canggih kereta ni seperti push start button,sensor segala bagai dan macam macam lagi la.Dari segi kelajuan kereta ini walaupun cvt memang sangat hebat,kalau pandu 180kmh boleh pandu sebelah tangan je.kalau honda civic 1.5 turbo test dengan kereta ni rasanya belum tentu lagi ni,sebab kereta ni antara raja di lebuh raya.Ada mengatakan kereta ini bermasalah seperti turbo problem la,oil cooler hose problem la,biasa la VW golf gti pun problem mekatronic dan clutch plate.follow maintenance ok la.Admin tak pernah pakai suprima ni tapi selalu la pandu kereta ni sebab banyak pelanggan buat service,kena la test drive untuk check apa yang problem.
Walau bagaimana pun model ini admin kasi 7 bintang antara kereta yang paling terbaik dalam keluarga proton.


Taken from G Car Care's FB. So what's your opinion as Suprima's owner on this?

I really like the way the admin told the story.

Thank you. I'm already on the primacy 3st, looks like the only other option to apply those good ol bitumen mats like brown bread or dynamat etc. My last satria gti had good sound deadening all over as I was into sound quality lol.

The suprima cabin is already very quiet, but as we can expect low profile tyres with firm suspension its more prone to road boom.

The rear boot cover I added some foam padding & soundproofing strips around it so it's air tight, so far it helps a lot with the noise from the boot area

Yup. Wheelwell insulation would help with road boom..coarse surface, even the best tyre can only help so far..

Be prepared to deal with interior noises from panels or seats. Sc can solve but may take a few visits.

What's with the stop sticker?
Does the unit support Waze?

Challenge, no. Keep up with the cars on normal roads, Yes. Once you get use to the power output, less powered cars feel lethargic. I think I have written a review somewhere on Lyn.

Get the best deal on the car.
