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.

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.

Can't wait for Suprima refinement. BTW, is Akiyoshi Jensei dude still around? lol

Kinda disappointed with proton...no refined Preve or Suprima were shown on MAEPS's Malaysia Autoshow

Waahh sudah lama not coming to Suprima topic...

Is legendary poster Akiyoshi Jensei still around?

So how fast is stock Suprima? Always heard that this model is one of the best Proton model in term of performance so I'm wondering how fast:

1. 0-100 km/h without using paddle shift
2. 0-100 km/h using paddle shift
3. Top speed

X70 is different story


210 to 240? Seriously? That's a outstanding figure for 1.6 Campro engine

So how fast is your car from 170 to reach 200 mark?

The statistics was from the official sheet right?

Not that I don't believe it, but sometime the sheet is unreliable. Like my 2.0 stock Inspira, the official sheet was 10.5 secs but mine can reach within 9+ secs.

Guys, IIRC, the 2015 and above Suprima model got some minor improvement? What was the improvement again?

I see. No wonder I saw Suprima with Preve's new rim. But I don't think they give refinement like Preve MC..If not there would be a Suprima MC already

So I'm thinking of getting 2nd hand Suprima (2015 or above) to replace my Satria Neo after the MCO.

Been a fan of this car for quite a while already.

Advise please, which option is better once I bought the car

1. Send to Proton SC for major service + change whatever necessary
2. Send to outside workshop (Zordaq, G Car, other expert in Proton cars)

Ok noted

So I have listed parts / things that need to be changed / serviced based from Owner's comments here.


1. Replace Oil Cooler Hose (OCH)
2. Replace engine and transmission mounting
3. Throttle body, turbo, intercooler service / cleaning
4. Install Oil Catch Tank
5. Replace CVT Damper
6. Software updates / remap (ECU, TCU, HU firmware)

Do I missed anything else?

Thank you for your advise

Yes I finally decided to buy Suprima and will collect it this wednesday. I had test drive it before buying and I was impressed with the throttle response. It respond much better than my 2.0 Inspira

I bought a 2015 model @ RM33K (Car price alone is RM29K)

2013-2014 model use CFE on engine cover. 2015 and above, the engine cover use TURBO instead. Other than that, I think there are some minor improvement from 2015 model onward. Sifu2 Suprima please correct me if I'm wrong.

Other than Premium > Executive > Standard variants, I don't think Suprima actually came out with any facelift / refinement / upgrade model. There was a very minor upgrade on 2019 model where it got a new 17 rim design (like Preve refinement) and new logo, but thats it.

In my case, I always search for 2nd hand car with 5 years or less. And I prefers the TURBO cover over CFE
