Me orang kampung when i first tested drive car signal on the left I keep mix up wiper with signal ler

i messed up.

I noticed that too. Wonder why got "hahaha", then realized that he probably never driven or seen cars with signal on the left.

most probably he didn't use signal before while driving...

1 tyre almost RM600. It is not for budget people.

hankook so expensive??

If you only have ngam2 money to buy this car, then think again. Just look at the price of the tyre.

Hankook is no longer cheap tyre liao. Even 1 up to local Silverstone.

Ya lo part nowadays very mahal.

The other day my bumper kena high then when I collect my car I look at the amount they claim from insurance, fuuuuuu RM 8k.

Theres always linglong king kong tyres lel

Those ngam2 type can settle for Standard variant with 17s, and never ever take it anywhere near off road.

Belum depan mata lagi

Whatever is said

Only.one thing matters PRiCE

Price it as per market now and see whether kena diao few generations back or not

Price is one that many can afford by taking extended years for loan. However, maintenance is another because here you have turbo, large tyres, many electronic features, etc.

If something breaks down after car warranty period or because it is a normal wear and tear item and you didn't save enough for it, you're in huge trouble. Let the first buyers (guinea pigs) test it first to prove its quality and reliability.

hankook good quality????

why no use china brand tyre???


what battery brand proton use??

yuasa?
gs?

yokohama?

If they kept local brand, i can only think of Silverstone. Silverstone tyres are better than China brand ones, but not better than Koreans. These are for local passenger car tyres. Not performance tyres. In fact Toyo bought Silverstone some years ago. So there may be Toyo formula in the new Silverstones. But Toyo tyres are really much sought after also. People would rather go for Yokohama or Falken that cost more.

18" tall suv tires. How many people you know that drives SUV wheels that big?

In fact Korean tyres seems to be nearing European brand quality already. I have been seeing a company who uses performance cars as a taxi ride business on the Nurburing and they are liking Nangkang performance tires compared to the Pilot Cup that costs more. But that is because the cost and almost comparable performance for business usage. That info may or may not be useful to us. But that is a general idea what quality Korean tyres are today.

Actually i hate signal on left.

Im one of the guys who actually use signal. If signal stick on right, i can just use my right hand to drive and give signal. Left stick means i need to use my left hand to turn it.

if it comes with 17", that would make it slightly affordable

ya

left side absolutely bodo

shows that they lazy cheap to make new mold

Hankook V12 Evo 2 > all

Except michelin PS4

Signal on the left is big turn off.
Still have people rush to buy car without waiting for reviews? For me, i will wait to see the market feedback as this is china made car with a not so popular logo. I wouldn't risk my family life driving a china car.

17" got la for base model.

as per normal practice, avoid first batch of new cars, be it BMW, Merc, VW, proton, perodua

Dafuq. All complaining left hand signal. Bmw has been doing it since forever no complain pulak. Lol. Even my suprima the signal stalk is on the left hand side. No problem whatsoever even though i own another car which the signal stalk is on the right hand side. Lol

localization bang

i never understand the need to be on the left for RHD cars
especially manual

all i am seeing is laziness and cheapness
as a plastic mold could cost 100k

Hmmm. Road to global elite.

BMW must be lazy and cheap...

lama stuck daa
never better than mge

Yes
thats is obvious right?

the only european on rhd is UK

no point do extra mold
when ppl can adapt


also might be the reason why ppl scream bmw no use signal when turning

Inb4 prc cars

Many european cars are very bad to convert to RHD. Some even left the push start button on the passenger side like the audi. But the worst still french cars.

Compact Crossovers xda ka?

lel complain about left hand signal. can get easily used to it in one day lah.

Car at home all signal on the left, so if buy next car also must have signal on the left as well, better if fuel door at driver side as well

Now 1 car fuel door at left the other 3 on the right already bikin ayam bingung

Y'all never drive Conti cars before ka? Sound like poorfag sakit buntut, so make an issue out of non-issue.

"Especially manual", except you all don't drive them, while those who actually do, don't complaint, it's a non-issue. You have to be truly rubbish and dangerous driver if signalling and shifting gear is too much to handle.

drove before but still ranting.

or are you the one who like to be fuck in the ass and still like it coz you paid for it?

its a non-issue? wait, why we have that issue in the first place. just change it to right and all is fine.

that's why conti drivers especially bmw dont like to give signal i guess.

Macam biasa yang tak mampu beli yg banyak bunyik lol

This car is sure above 130k.

Those who can't afford to spend 10 mins to get use to the different stalk arrangement probably can't afford one with money anyways.

Personally, i prefer signal on the left. When i sit as passenger, i can still give signal in case driver don't.

A good driver don't make excuses for what needs to be done, left or right side is irrelevant, you are still obliged to give signal either way. That's what it means to be non-issue.

Not a crossover, but there is a B-class SUV in the form of Geely Binyue that should get rebadged into Proton in the future. That one looks more gooding also.

wtf excuse is this? there's a simple solution out there and we just, ok lets accept this inconvenience?

come on, attitude like this brings us nowhere. sure its not a big issue, but its still an issue. much over when the solution is sooooo simple and have been long implemented. and proven. and nicer. and the list goes on.

binyue seems nice

It doesn't really matter which side as long as it's consistent....

The problem is, the bulk of cars in Msia have the signal stick on the right.....and it becomes reflex when driving....

When I drive a conti rental, takes a bit of getting used to at first....keeps pushing the wiper....

Then come back to Msia....push the wrong stick again....

yes, its very striking, just like the XC40

but it may take quite some time to get here

LOL....thread derailed off track...from talking bout the car to only bout the most insignificant issue - signal stalk

China branded cars have nice design but too bad, you know I know.

buy now or wait for the ckd version??

the first batch is cbu right? so include SST??

the ckd must be cheaper cause no sst...???

Price bila???

Just because it's an inconvenient/issue for people like you doesn't mean it's an issue for everyone.

I have Japanese, local and conti cars at home, never once was I "inconvenienced" by the different location of the stalk of each car when I drove them. I guess some people are more easily confused and "inconvenienced".

This post has been edited by dares: Sep 10 2018, 11:32 PM

Some people just like to find things to complain about.

both will have SST, but ckd will be cheaper; 1st batch is cbu

price vs who you think can assemble the car better?

This.

wow speak like a true malaysian. no wonder we find that some people are okay with being played on. every negative things we have would be brushed off by "its still ok, we will adapt, life goes on".

if wasting one extra step while clearly there's a simpler way to do things is not a definition of inconvenience, than I guess progress might be missing out in your dictionary too.

anyway, i guess some people can tolerate thrash compared to others.

Buuuurnnn...

+98989898999

If this X70 won't convince them, then maybe the Binyue will. Bring it over here by late next year, Level 2 semi-autonomy, Volvo-developed engine and all.

That'll teach a lesson to the Japanese how to spec their cars.

How does using the signal stalk on different sides becames "one extra step"?

Like I said, it has never been an issue for me, so where did "we will adapt" thing come from? Use the signal stalk on left or right also need to adapt ka? Where did you get your driving license?

There is being principled about important issues, and being a whiny pussy about every little thing. Guess which end of the spectrum you are?

Stupid... one word enough... does not deserve to even drive... LOL

He may even complain some pocket on his shirt is lower, upper, abit left, abit right LOL

Signal stick in left??? Waja n Gen 2 left kan?

Issue ke??? Adoi

Signal stick in left??? Waja n Gen 2 left kan?

Issue ke??? Adoi

Every Proton car since Waja until now (except the rebadged models Inspira, Ertiga and Perdana).

Laaaaaa, left or right, macaaaaam la Malaysian tau guna signal stick tuh

so many features, so many things that could fail

With this kind of mentality our cars will never improve

Cars in UK have their signal stalk located on the left side too. Even on a Toyota or Honda

Toyota Aygo:

As if proton makes all their cars with signal stick on the right... Lol

sure let me improve my mentality so our cars can improve

Guys,
Signal stalk at left or right, depends on the person. Most can adapt, but some cant. If they own one, surely they have to. If just renting or borrowed, sure they will curse.

I noticed some of you mentioned abt conti cars. But, do u noticed that (some?) of the conti cars, it has only one stalk at left side? No stalk at the right side? That is because the cars do not use stalk for lamps (headlights and fog lamps). They uses a rotary switch for that. To switch on the headlights, u can set to auto or manually by turning them. If you want to switch on the foglight, you have to PULL it. If you want to switch on the rear foglight, pull it another step.

For me, if Proton want to have signal stalk on the left, remove the right stalk and implement the rotary switch for lights. This is to avoid idiot drivers that constantly switch on their foglight at all time.

Nah, if really want to discuss abt the location of signal stalk, please make a new thread or discuss with Mercedes/bmw/audi UK car forums. Dont forget to introduce yourself as Malaysian and let me know so that i can see the responds after that.

Abt the X70, do anyone of you here noticed the Proton's statement, when the CKD begins, they will do more changes. Not just cosmetically. I think, i read somewhere that they are allowed to tune the suspension and handling. I hope this is true.

I also read somewhere that Geely has tested the car reliability. They even drive a fleet of the cars to UK to prove that. I think we also need Chinese speaking friends from here to find forums from china, and find any issues regarding Boyue and share it here, please. That would be helpful.

Cheers

This car got manual version? Dengar ada, but cannot confirm officially

Only in China. Come here only 10 people buy it.

Kesian I wanted to buy the manual variant

Hahaha wtf these people complain about signal stick...
Ikut suka hati manufacturer la mana mau letak left or right lol...

Seriously i cannot brain...
I drive manual/auto car, signal stalk left or right no problem.

Not sure if they can drive car that gear stalk on steering like Mercedes one.

Wait for ckd, let see what prob they have , first batch always the guinea pig

the car is tried and tested in the Chinese market for over than 3 years now.

what guinea pig you tokking about? its a CBU.

the CKD is the is the one that you need to watch out for.

simpan bodoh tu dalam dalam sikit.

There should be a difference between "guinea pig" and "early buyer" when referring to new products.

Guinea pig should only be used if the product is all-new to the market and completely untested outside in the real world. Sure, there are a few unique parts such as dashboard and RHD mechanicals but a lot of the core parts are maintained from the donor car.

No wonder BMW drivers are such assholes on the highways

Kenapa tered ni tiba2 jadi tered gaduh pasal signal stick kat kiri?

Har where got conti car only got 1 side of the stalk, they use rotary switch for headlamps but the right stalk is still there and is used for wiper operation, left stalk signal and high beam

And no that doesnt solve rear foglights issue, even with that rotary knob i see alot of VW using their rear foggies on clear nights on the road

Poorfag complain about signal light on the left. KEK

/k n complain berpisah tiada.

Lol, those defending on the left side signal are most likely poorfag proton salemen. Just ignore these rude arrogant bias comments that seek not to improve and couldn't accept critical comments. No wonder all their car models sucks.

This post has been edited by jimmybcmy: Sep 11 2018, 07:50 AM

let's see the sales figure after launch. even with the right price, people are still skeptical with the brand. hope it's not going to be like previous new perdana or ertiga. rarely see on road.

why complain about the signal stick positioning?
its not like ya'll use it on the road at all anyway

Envy.

One day if they can afford a mercedes, see if they will biatch about signal on left, gearshift on stalk, and if older model, parking brake on left pedal.

Or suddenly become diam2 because need to keep face. People still keep buying merc, so they have no issue with all that, otherwise mercedes bankrupt edi since all these problems mean mercedes is a stupid car maker.

Hah? U forgot about wiper stalk?

+1 totally agree.
Those stupid arrogant salemen always come to /k to promote their car but response negatively and rudely to any unfavourable comments.

Worse still, there are some ktards promoting the cars without even getting paid. Top kek.

Cukur got new proton.

New national car.

Everyday waking up to new hope.

Even white lies make it believable.

Maybe you could read my first post in this thread first? Talking about principle where one doesnt even know initial argument.

Now i see which end of spectrum you are.

This how u properly make and sell a car.

Eat that and keep that in your mind tun, don't always bash China just to plotek your ketuanan mindset.

ahahahahaahaha

those sore comment.

this CBU car ok one....

and tyres..... remember use XL if they have xl option. don't use cheapo

What Malaysian want is a luxury of a rolls royce ,comfort as a jaguar,reliablity/RV of a honda/toyota ,fast as a GTR and a price tag of a Kancil

Is the Geli TGDI engine reliable?
