My biggest concern is the DCT.

After VW issue with the DCT makes me worry if it can last 10 years or more which is min how long poor folks like me keep their cars

What about after 5 years.

Will it overheat going up to genting or Cameron like the Passat recently

DCT with 5 years unlimited mileage warranty is a bold statement from proton

no DCT ever lasted 5 years without any mechanical problem before

Still it remains to be seen how reliable it is.

Ppl in Malaysia keeps the cars for more than 10 years.. Some wira already approaching 20 years

Really doubt DCT can last so long

As if punch CVT can last long

Exora was launched in 2011 right


Did it come with punch cvt cos the first batch is almost 10 years old and did not hear many cvt gearbox breaking down

Got complain on lack of power but not overheat or totally breakdown right

1. cars nowadays are never meant to last long, the lifespan is just gonna get shorter and shorter as times goes
else how do they maintain the company afloat
2. no DCT right now ever lasted even 3 years without any problems before
so that's why i saw 5 years unlimited warranty is a very bold statement

the only real competitor right now is the DCT inside the honda city hybrid, i didn't follow them so am not sure if their DCT encounter any problems yet

Gone are the days of the Nissan Sunny 130y lasting 30 years and more
