Just did my test drive on it. 112k OTR for an executive 2WD spec is pretty good. Almost all existing feature wise and tech wise is in there already. In fact, it has more than what CX-5 has.

Handling, stability, suspension, body rolling and cornering is below CX-5. Rear passengers felt uncomfortable on bumpy road and cornering. Handling is so so when doing cornering at mid to high speed. Despite being heavier at 1.7 tonne and bigger rim at 19", when doing cornering at 60-80, the rear passengers felt "terbang-ing" sweat.gif

NVH is good. Pretty much on par with CX-5.

Pick up speed is good as well but the gear shift is a bit like Honda's CVT. Not sure if they are the same but it feels like that.

Driver seating position is weird. It's positioned like a sport's car seating. Kinda uncomfortable for big size guy. The steering wheel is set to highest and seating is set to lowest - yet the steering wheel still hits my knee.

Instrumental cluster is awesome. I always like digital stuffs. Very informative.

Entertainment hub.....is mixed feeling. Sometimes when I touched the button but no response - ended up have to press few times. Also the screen is very fingerprint magnet which triggers the OCD-ness in me. The "Hi Proton" thing is very canggih and nice to have but I doubt will use it a lot in real life cause sometimes it's a hit and miss.
