I agree. You won't be thinking of resale value when you purchase a Proton car.

Usually, you'd buy a Proton due to the value it gives to YOU.

For me, Proton cars usually gives me the best value (subjective to each individual) for the money spent.

Being a decently kitted, comfortable & a nice car to drive relatively to the price, are what I value most.

If not, better get a Perodua.

* Still waiting for that Executive X50  (T_T)

Guys, please make apple to apple comparison.

1. Resale Value compare with other cars at around 100k price point.

2. If one is comparing Perodua resale value with this car, means you are at Perodua level affordability.

3. When someone buying 100k price point car, resale value should not be your main concern, if it is, you are still stucked at Perodua price point car, go
get an Axia or a used Kancil, sure won't rugi.

4. This car Resale value will still beats all other same price point car, regardless what gonna come for the next 5 years, everyone who bought alternate car at the same time with you will suffer more loss in term of resale value, because X50 is the best value for money SUV now. You can be 1 step backward in technology for the next 5 years, but the rivals are 2 to 3 steps backward compared to X50.

5. Resale value don't depend totally on brand, it's heavily depending on model.

Compare real time, if you buy X50 today vs if you buy say HRV today
Unless X50 suddenly have major quality fail which don't seems to be the case because it was quite well perceived in China and Philippines

is ok for car nowadays to not switch off the aircond before switch off the engine?
straight away switch off engine so that when you remote start the car, the aircond will automatically switch on

So, I actually cancelled my earlier booking (personal reasons) but now want to make a new booking. The same SA told me it's 6 months waiting period

Any dealer to recommend that has less waiting time?

Flagship variant, snow white.

Nope. Because the system will automatically start your engine first before starting the aircon (therefore not putting too much strain on the battery and starter). Besides, the user manual also never mention that you have to ensure the aircon is off before starting the car.
Of course. Even Myvi can do that. Your contact list will also be synchronized. If want to make a call, just say "Hi Proton, call 0121234567".

I booked mine in a very small branch in S'ban. They seem to be quite slow with allocation but mine has already arrived, should be delivered this week.

BTW I booked on 20th Sep.

Guys so far how is the fuel consumption on the X50?

Just curious to know.. understand the car is not fully run in yet

I am in quite a few numbers of X50 group, not sure which you were referring.

I'm from S'ban, you too? Nope, Mine is White, premium, yet to got delivered, but registered in JPJ and also viewable in Proton Link app already.

I think I know which group is it, but I didn't see any Grey Premium from S'ban posted in the group hehe.

By the way, I can already see my car's location in Proton Link app, it is already in Senawang's Proton Edar, I booked mine from Rasah's branch, wonder when will it got delivered.

Been driving both x70 and x50 lately. Can feel x50 is much more responsive when moving from standstill.

The audio quality is also much better than x70. I'm still trying hard to get the right equaliser settings for x70 but x50 is just good out of the box.

The only things I like about x70 are the comfortable Nappa leather seats and better resolution cameras.

I can only think of few possibilities:
- not driving the car everyday
- too short distance drives
- play too much of the infotainment system while the engine is off
- not locking the car (manual says leaving the car unlocked drain more battery than locked)
- faulty battery?

This guy also agrees with me - x50 audio quality better. He's also an owner of a x70.

bro you sure ah?? highway drive??
mine flagship just able to get 350km in town drive...normal speed, not much accerelation

someone shd measure the current drain on the battery when parked

i charge my current car battery monthly, just to top up, now in 3rd year

That is a small number of deliveries actually, roughly 10 cars a month.
Most dealers are only allocated with 15 cars at most, since mid November till now.
Not sure what is the allocation for this month, but will only get next month.

I booked on launch also my dealer saying may only get in Feb.
Cakap takde orang potong q, but sounds irrational would take so long.
I took the optional accessories and flagship blue color some more.

At one time, there was also no such thing as test drive. Kalo you mau beli, kalo tak mau boleh belah. Then due to AFTA, they had to introduce excuse duty on all cars. Eventually, Proton's pricing was no longer competitive. People started buying non national brands and you start to see less and less of their new models on the road.

Now that they are on the up swing, this whole current situation feels like deja vu all over again. Not even a peep from their management on the supply issues, delays on fulfillment, etc. Dr Li seems to be focused on quick wins, the underlying issues is going to take some time to fix. Hope their management actually fixes these underlying issues, going to be make or break next year. They won't be able depend on hype and tax holiday to maintain sales.

Anyone here interested to be demo car for some car accessories?

Your benefit
👉 Able to purchase the accessories at a very low price. Even lower than Introductory price we offering. Lowest in the market price.

PM me if interested. Its like a win win situation.

You get to bump up your car look at a incredibly low price and i get some video + picture of it.

KL / Selangor area only

Just test drive the car this afternoon.

Really good pickup and interior is pretty solid.

Any owner review of the exec or premium variant? How’s the engine performance (compared with flagship) & FC like?
