Hmm not sure how he compared the testing using what benchmark.

Today I just came back from testing cx 5 high specs, x70 proton premium and subaru XV. Out of the 3, x70 kenwood actually gave the best sound. Subaru worst. In fact subaru sound is so bad and not much adjustment can be done that the SA also said subaru sound and player not their strength lol. But ultimate joke is still x70, seems got engine oil issue and car cannot move to d drive and move. Also aircon is not cold. Ended up didn't manage to test.

Is it unlucky or really proton x70 ckd premium quality control not there considering this car only a few months old... Tomorrow I will go another dealer to test. Anyone know how much discount can be given please pm me. Thanks.

Hmm, I never test the bass as the sound is from radio. But certainly more crisp and clear than cx5/XV. If the bass is nearly non-existent, could it be the connection is not there? ie subwoofer cable loose or spoilt...

Any feedback with the 19 inch wheel for Premium? Seems will incur more fuel and noise but yet we can't downgrade due to warranty etc. One 19 inch wheel around 800 to 900?

Not sure why premium goes with 19 inch, seems overkill.

When I reviewed 3 different brand, never expect myself to lean towards x70 to be honest. Especially with the test drive experience where the vehicle couldn't even start and the SA doesn't know why!

The interior rock solid, only slight complain is the steering wheel seems to drift left or right without staying right at the middle. Seems like alignment problem or some other feature of the mazda or subaru brand. Their steering wheel remains right center lockedin when driving in the same straight road.

Your SA should be able to tell you. I just booked premium, 2 weeks to 1 month. I told my SA if one month might as well delay to the merdeka promotion lol.

I think what proton SA tried to mean is the sst rebate amount is not fixed. Meaning after June 30th they might change the amount based on their internal calculation. This sounds bs to me but technically they could do it, like Honda price hike earlier for ckd model. Since x70 selling like hot cakes now, proton might feel they can increase the pricing. Then again I think this is just bs excuse to pressure you to buy and proton not so efficient to adjust the price so often.

Anyway if price do increase, I might just cancel my booking.

Bro just curious, why you fully paid the car when it is not here yet? 100% payment? And 2 weeks already? Potential scam?

Indeed, seems like Proton CKD QC still a long way to go. I will be getting my car month end, hope the batch I get doesn't have all these problems...

Thanks. I was deciding between Civic and X70, in the end went for X70 because of the SUV factor and the fact most CKDs got some small problems here and there. Also quite a fair share of folks complaining about the build quality of civic. Hopefully the batch after MCO is better.

Let me share with you my experience. I test drove Mazda cx30 (brake like no brake), cx5 2.0 (can consider), Subaru XV (good all around for test drive but the info unit plus speakers too crap) and X70.

Initially my no1 pick is cx30 and X70 is last choice. But the Cx30 brake and high price really made it to last option after test drive. You can try Subaru XV, for their 2019 stocks discount plus tax rebate 10k and you can request for more rebates. 5 years free labour with 3 years totally free (not sure if still available). Price is similar if not less than X70 Premium.

So what made me decide on X70 eventually?

1. SA among all best attitude
2. I really dig the thunder cat logo, since I am old school
3. The X70 n95 air filter, though need to change like 2 components every year. Not sure if can opt out of changing without affecting warranty. I don't drive much so not sure if filter needs to change so regularly. Anyone here can comment on this?
4. Nappa leather plus Kenwood sound system. Even though people in this thread said the sound system is not good, but compared to Mazda, Civic and Subaru out of the box, I find it way better than those. Also the info unit more high tech. But warning, no android auto and car play. Mirroring possible for Android phones. Not sure about iphone.
5. Good value for money.

Actually the interior is what made me choose X70 in the end. Just buy and drive, no fuzz. No need to do messing wiring even for dash cam (usb available on mirror). Go test drive and decide. Now is good time to buy car. Trust me, despite the crap economy, the car price will only go up. In fact Subaru XV for 2020 originally higher price, just that this covid situation means they stop the plan.

How come your early booking free gift got side step? I thought in that 3k package no side step?

Anyone knows what's the merdeka offer this month? Seems nothing...

My understanding from SA is 3 years. Then again policies keep changing all the time. Really depends eventually on how it is spoiled and whether the SC willing to close one eye.

Sorry I am getting a bit confused on this 3 steps. Exactly how should I start the car? Isn't it step on the brake, release the P hold button then press start?

Thanks for your prompt reply. So follow 1 step no problem right? Getting my new x70 soon...

Hi all, I just got my x70 premium a week ago. Lately when driving, especially over hump or bumpy roads, I can hear rattling sound which seems to either come from rear suspension or the area around the back seat belts (within the plastic). Is this normal? Not sure if something not fitted right or absorber issue which I thought only front got.

I thought absorber only the front? Back also got issue? Also normal driving no sound. Only when going over bump or uneven road that causes car jerking.

I will try. But SA said making a claim not easy, SC needs to verify with video and pic as proof.

Thanks I will try. Paiseh what is tonneau cover?

Hi guys, today I used USB cable to connect to the screen using easy con. But the screen keeps showing app no license to run etc when I ran waze or Google map.

How can I get around this? If not I will have to buy a phone holder thanks.

Not sure what your genuine cam from Proton is. Also what you mean by port? All you need I think is a usb port which can be found behind the mirror which is available also for CKD model.

Then your question too deep for me lol
