QUOTE(jVIPERs2 @ Aug 21 2007, 07:26 PM) It should be as rigid if not more rigid than the Gen2... hi, Viper..where you read the news? 7000 units booked?I don't think ML got delay...coz during the launch, 350 units have been delivered to customers... I think the problem is with CAPTOR...coz when Perdana V6 1st started equipped with it, also face problems...  Now already a 3month waiting period... 7000 cars booked d o' hope they can settle it soon... then, i can slowly tender nice number plate from JPJ first..while waiting..*yawn*  |

QUOTE(kcng @ Aug 23 2007, 10:03 AM) since persona is a more comfort oriented setup, i think 16" is the max...... NO..205/45/16 is Out..your meter is underreading. 205/45/16 is those WiraSE...it suit MyVi well too, upgrade from 175/65/14 to 205/45/16205/45/R16 tyre size should be the max.... some one correct me if i am wrong.. thanks. For 16", the best is 205/50/16. Better looks, 18"--> 225/35/18 !! You may have a hard time to source for this odd side tyre.. |

QUOTE(sasaug @ Aug 23 2007, 08:48 PM) My dad just bought one....he choose the solid white and they say the colour need to wait till september baru ada production.... Quoted from Proto Edar website *NOTE: THE SOLID WHITE COLOUR IS ONLY AVAILABLE FROM SEPTEMBER 2007 ONWARDS* sigh..have to wait longer...but can save money to settle loan, shorten repayment period.  |

QUOTE(yangsangfook @ Aug 23 2007, 10:58 PM) get the mitsubishi lancer GT, i love the back seat so much that i dont want to be the driver anymore.. only when i test it, cant afford to own it... anyone roughly know whats the 2nd hand value will be for this car coming next year? RM56k to RM116K, that's rm60k difference, i guess you posted in the wrong thread.  wkho555, why so desperate since you booked at the 1st day of soft launch, just wait 2-3 weeks later ma.. |

QUOTE(soulfly @ Aug 24 2007, 09:29 PM) 1. Persona is bigger than Myvi and much more worth to get since both are priced similar. Myvi is just an overrated and overpriced car. Oh no..Persona wins hand down.2. Refer to spec at www.proton.com.my. 3. Also refer to spec at www.proton.com.my. Try to drive MyVi>90km/h, the grip is terrible...and noisy cabin. And pls...don't ever recommend change to bigger rims, eg:17" low profile for better grip...it is bumpy! No hard feeling ya..this is my opinion.

Rear drum brakes is not an issue for low-cost, entry level car...Of course lar, cost down ma, cheaper material cannot avoid lor.
Disc brake can stand on the heat and release heat faster, hence braking especially at high speed does make big difference. 70% of braking force goes to FRONT wheel, only 30% on Rear. But drum brake is fun! Especially 180/360 degree turn...easier to lock the rear wheel.

QUOTE(jVIPERs2 @ Aug 28 2007, 05:15 PM) Clearly... I don't think it is the Captor problem?..it might be some serious technical issue that the engineers take weeks/months to settle it. ?Coz suddenly we can see Viva ad back in newspapers... And MyVi in radio... I don't think Proton's having a problem making the car...juz problem fitting it with Captor! So now the real question is, how many cars can CAPTOR fit in a day??? If that's the case, biar lambat asalkan selamat...i hope my Bl will be problem free..*sweat* This post has been edited by ralf: Aug 28 2007, 06:48 PM |
