I am thinking to get X50. Any comments after driving for few years? Most complaint i heart is wind sound. is it resolve?

the things with Japanese car or suv, the local spec, ckd they cut cost too much for insulation materials. This is happened to all CKD Honda Melaka, even with Accord. But if u test the recond unit, made in japan, it totally a better nvh. Good thing Geely Proton made here dont cut cost on that

Can’t wait to get my car this week, but tbh I know my budget is around this range and I wanted a suv. So here I am, I didn’t even look at other cars. From the day I decided to buy a car, to visit a showroom to ask for some details, to test drive then pay booking. I think that happened within few days only

Earlier comment said got 2 types of wind noise

1. Whistling noise
2. Wind noise (flub flub flub) at above 110km/h

The Whistling noise seems solved, only left is the wind noise which many claims were common especially for SUV

I am thinking to get x50 flagship but top up 10k I can get HRV on top of that I top up another 20k can get corolla cross. So you think is worth to get X50 instead? I am still struggling in choosing.

How about spare part issue? I saw from article they said facing spare part shortage

I guess you are right. I asking in the wrong group.

nah. I don't find it offense. My budget actually manage to get cross but I never own these brand of car before. So I still try to research on the after sales service(how much does it cost) for now.

X70 getting facelift soon. most likely starting with 1xxk and using the same engine as x50 from what i heard

I don't really care about badge. Reliability is my top concern. From what I see X50 is best among them. So I came here to see what is the experience of existing user.

So far my half year ownership does not bring me any troubles and I don't face any shortage issue as well.

This car only launched 1 year half here maybe too early to tell. But I did not find much major issue from other countries like Philippines or China as well, in fact even since it's first launch at 2018 it is still selling quite well perceived there today.

Although there's a few mention of the new 4 in-line engine, but personally I do not foresee that will come to Malaysia and other Asian market so soon, China need this 4 in-line engine because of their stiff competition there, but look at Malaysia and Philippines, the competitor keep offering the dated tech to us with old engine and stripped down specs vs european/japan market, look at Vios chassis, how many years has it been?

Still in the end the key to reliability is safer to seek for older tech which is proven to work if you don't mind adopting the older tech.
There's basically no right or wrong.

I do somehow need to give a special mention to Subaru XV as the car is more value for money compared to HRV & Cross due to it was equipped with better equipment at similar price like its AWD, Boxer engine, Steel Chain Driven CVT + dual wishbone suspension. But Subaru is not loved in Malaysia probably because people hate Tan Chong resulting in poor resale value. It was a very well balanced car with lower center of gravity.

Hi guys, doing my 6 mths service this weekend. Do I follow the basic X50 service schedule or does anything else needs to be done?

if u rajin watch the China Car review on youtube, their market is full of turbocharged engines from known to unknown brands. in general, the basic spec will come with 1.5T to 1.8T combo with 7-speed DCT, while the premium/expansive will come with 2.0T combo with 8-10 auto normal torque converter.

only the Japanese model gives CVT.

And the so called "Vios" chassis is too expensive for Proton to adopt for other models for their future development 

But anyway the BMA Chassis was ironically re-engineered based on Toyota chassis which believed to be Vios with addition of hot press forming and a few modifications made on the existing platform to strengthened the chassis strength. However it is quite proven here with numerous major accident reported, remember the SA who totaled the car at 180km/h came out unhurt + there's also a video of front collision test made with Binyue VS HR-V head on with Binyue came out with studier chassis, although there could be some variables due to local assembly, but the result was quite promising. Meanwhile the current Vios here is not with the same chassis strength as the X50. Same same but not same.

If you're taking the cross, better get the V variant.

Btw, the seats are very hard. The cross.

anyone own flagship variant? any comment on the sunroof? does it causes noise when raining?

Guys Atlas OS coming soon with possibly Spotify Built in
