I am intending to get an SUV in 2022. So decided to research the coming HRV.

1st impression , not impressed at all. The front looks aweful! Interior has improved but seems like a lazy attempt, nothing to wow! The Ativa also does not appeal to me!

X50 still leads on my list! Saw an orange X50 yesterday. Really very pretty! I'm prepared to wait for this color as I'm not in a hurry!

Anyone still being forced to buy the X50 Urban/Utility Package? I'm being told just today, all outlets in Swak must sell with Utility Package, RM3.3k. So there is no escape, unless decide to get the car after tax exemption period.

Yes, mine is being forced as well

I have purchased DSP and did 4-doors 2 layer soundproof, so the audio system is much better now.

Bro, how much you invest for DSP? The standard X50 car system is really tak boleh pergi. Think to upgrade.

I signed up for Utility Package 3.3k already, and for whatever colour that comes available soonest. Else, book today, get in 2022 most likely. And if can wait, for bookings after June, you can skip the package.

So guys, I'm actually having a huge dilemma on whether to install a security tint or non-security tint.

A security tint is a double edge sword.

1) Gives extra protection to passengers.

2) But it could be fatal during emergencies when you need to break the windows to escape.

This is a real dilemma for me.

What are the odds of road rage/attack vs fire/car submerged in water?

No one can tell which is better, the non security one may also cost you lives or damaged face area if it couldn't hold up shatters well during accident, worst case blinded by the glass.

Actually to break the glass all you need is a proper tools that is made to break the glass, buy one and keep in the car within your reach.

So my pick will be security but not those thickest 9mm type, Maybe 5 to 6mm will be sufficient to me.

Tint shop will not install the security tint at windscreen. In case of emergency, they will break the windscreen

Just received my FS armour silver X50!

Totally loving every bit of it except for one thing only, the wind noise.

To all the doubters, its very obvious and can be very very very annoying.

Going to try my luck to get Proton to fix it on my first service...

Same here. The cabin noise is most irritating at higher speeds above 80kph; have'nt tested above 100kph, noise could be unbearable on a long drive. Also the floor vibration on the front passenger side is quite noticeable. Don't have this issue with Honda, Toyota suv. Booked the Proton X50 Premium on high expectations and paid for it without test drive. Not sure what causes the excessive cabin noise and vibration but need to dampen it to enjoy the ride and the audio. Anyone found a solution yet?

Guys, some questions:

1) Is the RM500 booking fee fully refundable? Need to have a special reason (e.g. loan reject) or can be any reason whatsoever?

2) I'm gonna buy the Executive variant (no add-ons). How long am I expected to wait for the car?

3) If I receive my car after June 2021 (say, in September), am I qualified for the SST exemption price?

Thanks!

Yes, in fact, the security tint will absorb some impact from an accident.

Maybe you're right, perhaps 5 to 6 mil tint is not that strong and it would be easier to break the glass from the inside. All those videos on youtube on security tint showed how many blows you need to hit before the glass shatters, perhaps those are like 8 to 9 mil.

In an emergency, you only have seconds to escape, how are you going to go all the way to the back, break the glass and escape.

It's actually easier to install non-security tint on the back 2 windows and escape from there hmm.gif

same like that house window grill dilemma... scared thief come in but also scare cannot go out in case of fire emergency

anyway - go for security tint for door windows, but not too thick. it still can be broken and some push, the reason for security tint is so that the glass wont pecah-pecahan but stick in 1 piece (that's why need to push). however, touchwood if really accident, the airbags inflation is enough to help u break the front windscreen (i read somewhere, it is suppose to do so), then u can cabut from front windscreen.
P/s: front windscreen is just normal tint, wont be security tint....
