the new gen2 sedan = rm45k - rm50k...
old gen2 + old waja value will be like piece of JUNK...
if tht's the current value, i wonder who's gonna buy those savvy... whistling.gif
hmm... not to mention is there any value for a savvy now...?
owner of proton will suffer the most...

saw it last saturday where they display the car in the curve...
haven't try to get into the interior...
not sure how big is the interior is...  sweat.gif
*
one thing is for sure... the boot space is very big & deep... biggrin.gif

another thing... the rear seats can be folded but not completely flat... and there is 2 metal panels portruding (to protect rear speakers i presume) after the seats being folded down... i felt the edges to be quite sharp... so its advisable that owner pay some attention to that part...

Also, when u lift up back the seat, make sure it have click sound.
If the lock is loose, once u brake the seat fold itself.
*
i thing most people wont fold the rear seats up or down too often... & the mechanism should last longer than the car's age itself... hmm.gif
anyway, kudos for proton to includ this feature even its a sedan...
last time, only wira aeroback have this feature & not the wira sedan... happy.gif

I believe no sub 60K cars cover up the speakers right???
Muz hav a look at City's...

Wow...can fit in mattress...  thumbup.gif
Promote "some activity" in car...  tongue.gif

if i remember correctly, wira aeroback's speakers were coverup one...
need to be removed somemore if need to change the absorber/rubber holder...

anyway, i still feel they should be cover up nontheless... perhaps sooner or later there will be some aftermarket covers... smile.gif

auto i am not sure
for manual @ 5th gear
80 km/h is 2.5k region
110 km/h is 3 k region


Added on August 23, 2007, 9:56 am
that if i am not mistaken, is a pre-production car.....
3 of this car has error and it has seen been fix...
*
as its 1.6L engine, i would say its slightly on the high side? unsure.gif
i would expect
80 km/h is less or equal 2.0k region
110 km/h is less or equal 3.0k region
anyway, just my tought... coz i never ever once saw how a campro engine perform...
or are u refering to your neo?
maybe persona's "improved" TCU will change that slightly?

kakakaka... the dual fuel gauge thingy... previously i only heard... so its real... tongue.gif
but like u said... its pre-production car... as long as they make it right for customer cars then its not a big deal... smile.gif

yeap i am refering to my neo as comparison cuz its a campro...
same engine...
i dunno about the TCU cuz i din really take note when i test drive ther persona....
nope, even a 1.3 carb iswara at 100 km/h is at 3k rpm region... i believe it should be quite standard in alot of cars...
3k rpm at cruising speed gives the balance between FC and power.... <-- this is my opinion la
*
throughout my monitoring so far...

i will get 2krpm at 80km/h and 2.5krpm at 100km/h (1.5L 1NZ-FE with the 4-speed AT... u know what car lah... tongue.gif)
last time for my wira aeroback... i got 3krpm at ~100km/h and almost ~4krpm if i try to go for 120-130km/h region (thats 1999 wira aeroback 1.5 GLI with 3-speed AT)

but yes... 2krpm for ~80-100km/h is the general sweet spot for good fuel efficiency for most common vehicles... smile.gif

i think why u get so low rpm could be due to the OD.... i believe ur car have OD right ?
same like the honda accord la 150 km/h at 3k rpm shocking.gif
*
no need the capital letters... sweat.gif
really tied up lately... rclxub.gif
well, based on the gear ratios, yes... its in overdrive mode when i switch to "D"... smile.gif
BTW, mine is L-2-3-D (no seperate Overdrive button)

QUOTE(ymjay @ Aug 23 2007, 11:05 AM)
but petrol expensive la bro...its better to have tiny cc cars these days
so 1.6 still ok for me
*
well, if the chasis is heavy but the engine cc is small, the power to weight ratio will not be so good, hence worse fuel efficiency...
not to mention u'll feel the car underpower somemore... like it doesn't wanna move forward especially when u go up hill or wanna overtaking...
