Those ordered before 2021 will get accidental insurance instead of Joox right?
*
No, booking before 1st Nov get this "insurance". But I was told even when booked before 1st Nov one can "downgrade" this to the 1 year Joox VIP which certainly has much more use if you are not planning to die fast. I am using Joox VIP and that is at least RM 140 value.

Current launch price without SST, similar to what Proton done with X50

For me HRV interior is too basic & a let down for the price. Will look at the new model.

Yes, rather unsexy. Ativa samesame.

That is a big plus for the X50, Geely really knows how to make the interior look luxury. With not even the flagship having leather seats.

I tend to agree here. After looking at all the suggested vehicles, X50 is top on my list. The orange is very pretty. Most likely to get the Premium in this color.

I can afford the flagship, but dislike moonroof.

Well, if you not keen to get a sunroof, don´t think about the Flagship. The Flagship price is OK, but mainly because of the reason that these kind of sunroofs cost a hell of money. With every car on the market.

I think for Flagship, the main additional cost is sunroof and the safety features.
*

For the sunroof alone you have to calculate with RM 5000. If it is not included in the specs this is a normal surcharge at Volkswagen or others.

Oh well, okay. My first choice is the blue. Red would be nice too but that’s not available for Executive variant.
*

Which is very strange anyway. For their own cost this Ocean Blue metallic is surely the most expensive variant. But even available for Standard. The red is quite light (but beautiful!) and non-metallic, so much cheaper, but only for Premium and Flagship. Proton logic cool2.gif

I think probably is same strategy copied from China, red colour for top specs to go in line with the sportiness.
*
Sounds realistic.

As I never bought a proton, is this the norm that they don't charge a surcharge for "more expensive" colors?

Neutral soap water to clean leather

The manual indicate the use of this to clean the interior.

What is neutral soap water and is there is simple household agent suitable for use ?
I donot want to spend RM 100 on a bottle of soap !
*


nothing inside your x50 except the steering wheel is real leather. so don´t buy any special soap.

Anyone know how long is the overall waiting list?

Proton does not publish this. It is a secret smile.gif

QUOTE(contestchris @ Mar 20 2021, 09:28 PM)
Any information from SA?
*
The SA can only look in his branches book. Maybe he will tell you your position in the waiting list, maybe he only gives a rough guess when it is your time.


QUOTE(contestchris @ Mar 20 2021, 09:28 PM)
I hope Proton will push for more deliveries.
*
The March numbers will be published in two weeks, lets hope for 5000+

Does car come tinted? Okay if I don’t do anything extra?

Actually as you can turn on AC before you enter the car via the app, tinting is not so necessary for x50. not sure if i will do, defintely i am not in a hurry

looks like you have not sit in a tinted car before
it is not only when you park that tinted is useful, when you are driving under the sun, with and without good tinted also can feel the difference.
can feel the flesh being burned
*
all my cars were/are tinted. my last one after 6 month untinted, so I know the difference. Normal untinted glass of windshield already protects you from all UVA and UVB. So even you don´t wear a shirt it is impossible to get a sunburn. You know that tinting is illegal in many countries? no ones flesh burned there.

A/C for me is one million more important than tinting.

do the current waiting list still need wait ~6months to get the unit?
*

Every branch is different, questions for the overall waiting list are pointless. As there is no overall waiting list. If someone booked December 1st he can be Number 17 in his branch now but at other branch Dec 1 is already 3. If you book now at branch A or B the game starts from totally different position.

For such a high demanding and long waiting car, very low chance to have year end sale/rebate
*
Demand will totally collapse after tax holiday ends. You can expect HUGE discounts at the year end sale. Probably already earlier.

Don't you worry Proton delay giving you the car?
Don't you worry receiving faulty item?

I worry all this things do. So far SA did not ask for downpayment but told me to be prepared to pay and recieve the car this months. let´s wait and see.

As I said before it is my first Proton, many things are very strange compared to my last car buying cool2.gif
