is Proton going to come out X70 premium without sunroof?
*
I am hoping for this too, the safety features in the premium are good but that sunroof is quite worrying to me, quite costly to replace if it cracks.

DCT should have higher maintenance cost cos the clutch will wear out faster like how we usually change the clutch of manual transmission last time

general guide that children shud be at least 8 years old to sit directly in car without childseat.

but still depends on the size of the kid.
*
just get those booster car seat will raise the child seat height, cost around rm50+ only and buckle them with the normal seat belt, it's not about the age but the child's height is suitable or not

yes, but need to wait proton maintenance price list once they launch the model with DCT.
hopefully the warranty of the DCT is minimum 5 years and not 5 years but excluded from GB items etc
*
yeah, current proton warranty for 5 years is only on the engine, gearbox is only up to 3 years and suspension is one year, it's not really a 5 year comprehensive warranty like subaru:

My wish list for the ckd:
- make the radar thief proof
- do away the sun roof in the premium
- factory fit tinting
- separate blower for rear a/c vent, better still give tri zone a/c
- bigger and slope adjustable rear seats

just a tip for you guys who wish to experience DCT transmission cars:

never CREEP during traffic jem
with that, hopefully can prolong your DCT life in the long run.

what is CREEP? try google or youtube it.

It can't be worst than the Punch cvt in the current protons right?

Mine was replaced while engine is still running. Either way it's fine actually.

The SA told the setting will go haywire if replace battery without engine running. Not sure if there is a lot of effort needed to reset everything.

Been driving for 2 weeks already. My initial impression and i am comparing to my previous car which is alza and my wife's mazda 2.
- it is quite quiet and comfortable ride
- the whistling sound is quite addictive, sound like a plane taking off
- in normal or eco mode, car tend to upshift to 2nd gear quite early and may be sluggish to move on that gear when re-accelerate, will not downshift to 1st gear unless car fully stopped, reminds me of manual gearbox
- did not tint at all but got sunshade, heat is still bearable
- A pillar can cause some blind spot
- tall vehicle but doesn't roll a lot, maybe damper still new
- car stereo not impressive at all despite 9 speakers, even mazda 2 got more solid bass
- headlight is very bright, i think only x70 got projector LED at this price range, most are reflector LED

May I know how long you waited for your car?

I booked in Nov, got it in March but when i collect, heard that production will be slow due to parts shortage. Foresee more executive variant will be produced.

many owners I know install the DSP to improve the stereo using the stock speaker. For the headlight, agree, only projector LED give best light output. Tried my friend's Civic with reflector LED, the light is kinda short which makes it hard in a darker area.
I spend rm900 for local tint brand Totalgard, for their top-spec tint, IRR99%, TSER >60% verified at 3M meter. So far 2 years still work great.

rm900 is full car or only front windshield?

Want to ask if we should let the engine cool down to prevent heat soak in the turbocharger or you normally just stop the engine.

Hi, anyone is able to enable the seat ventilation function with voice command. I tried few times but not successful and kind of troublesome to always have to press the screen few times to enable it.

Hi, my 2022 1.8 premium (~20k mileage) now got some vibration, it can be felt even at the driver seat and arm rest, is this normal? sent to my regular service center and they say it is normal, even checked my spark plug gap. Vibration only during idling.

if during cold start, for the first 3-4 minutes if vibrate at idling it is same as others. but if already run but the vibrates persist, then send warranty for mounting

The regular SC i went does not seem to think so. Any other SC i should consider in KV that is more capable?

I had good experiences with Kelana Jaya 3S. Able to claim new rotor under warranty when the mileage at 35k km

Another thing is that whenever my car is stationary, turning the steering will have noise, at first i thought it is steering rack so i complained and the SC instantly ordered the part without checking, the thing is this repair needs 3 days, and i checked this problem again, actually the noise comes from the rear, maybe the rear brake, so is this normal?
