Key is whether they overclaimed it.

For a 7.X figure like that of X70, it’s actually much more achievable (of course also easily screwed when the traffic jammed up) and doable in reality.

6.5 is about 15km/L, which is quite logical for highway cruising.

I'd rather missed the tax holiday than supporting that kind of businessman.

There was owner achieve 6.3l in x50 group from KL to Penang with Sport mode.

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.

If you're happy without it, yeah why not? back then 20 years ago people also drive their cars without tinting, that era even the glass does not even come with any UV protection and they still live till today.

It is the same question as to people ask why buy X50 while we can buy an Axia which also fetch 5 pax, it is a matter of comfort, good tint does really shield off significant amount of heat and it is not a gimnick, but if you can live without it, nobody can make you install one.

Out of curiousity mind to share what tint you use for the other cars and its price?

Not all windscreen protects from UVA and UVB, cheap cars don’t have this feature
For my car, tinted with 3M films, sit in my car feels ok, but when I sit in my friends car without tinted, really feel sunburn

Ah. If u had outstation especially at yard area, u really need the best tint available. My office car dont cw tint at all, dashboard faded poorly.

This is NOT enforced by proton, but by the outlet which I am buying my car from is forcing their customers to buy. I actually booked with another outlet at the same time, but they did not force me to buy the utility package. so this is an optional upgrade by proton, but this rogue outlet forced all their customers to buy it.

Honestly, outlet or not the only instance of these issues happening in mass (in both past and current times) is only proton. It really doesn't matter if its a rogue outlet doing it because ultimately it still falls under the proton umbrella. Maybe proton HQ is the one forcing outlets and dealers to buy it, who knows.

But what we do know and can see as a consumer from outside is that you only see this happening with proton more often than not. Other brands do not have these issues

Quite true. Honda, Perodua, Nissan, Toyota etc. has their own upgrade packages. None of them forces their customer to get it when booking.

exactly. i am sure that all these other car companies knows this will happen thats why most of their upgrades are just cosmetic level like perodua's gear up, low risk and low cost of inventory so everyone can just close one eye on dealer and HQ end whoever is holding the stock.

Just took delivery of my X50 Premium and drove it quite a bit for the past 2 days.

First impressions:
1. Power is good - layman like me can't tell if its lacking from the FS.
2. Don't seem to hear any whistling wind noise even driving at 130 km/h
3. Automatic headlights are way too sensitive
4. Speakers suck
5. Been driving on highway on normal mode and the avg fuel consumption is 11L/100km

Your highway FC is kind of high. At what speed if i may ask?

Sorry to differ, the SA dont force you to buy because in principle it is OPTIONAL, but when the car come, with the colour of your choice. Your SA will ask you "Your Red X50 available, but prebuilt with the optional kit, you want onot?, or else have to wait which i donno when."

Yes, my feedback from SA is now the X50 come with the kit prebuilt. How I know it is true, I ask them can I move the smarttag emitter to the side. They say cannot, it comes with the car now. All of them, at least for flagship.

The SA is pretty helpless in most thing in this X50 supply fiasco. They have no control of the variant/color/kit they receive.

Do I wanna fault Proton, a bit at least. But reality is too much demand at a time where parts is coming slow and less for assembly. But should we be pissed for forcing the kit to us, YES! Even for me who plan to get it.

U need to change your ways of driving for turbo engine in case want to get good fc. Tips on the current fuel consumption figure when driving.

Turbo get good fc by smooth drive and constant speed highway

I think in city drive is better to assume the FC according to the engine output not the capacity,
say to achieve 250nm of torque, we may need a 2.5L Engine, let's assume it sip as much fuel as the 2.5L engine while enjoying roadtax of 1.5L
so you don't get too disappointed with it.

Great power comes great responsibilities.

I think the msg is self explanatory... like I said, this is not by Proton but individual outlets, so expect each outlet to give different scenarios

torque number during full boost tu. normal drive less than that

like that no diff from regular enjin

130 km/h

Thanks for the tip. Will try to adjust and see if I get a better FC hahaha
