NA engine, manufacturers advertised at 18km/l. Drive normally get 14km/l. Small Turbo engine car, advertised at 18km/l, drive normally get 10km/l.

It is quite difficult to get great fc on small Turbo engine car by driving normally other than constant speed at highway and very light foot for acceleration.

Pro, get similar power as big na engine with relatively small engine + turbo

I dont think you get my point. The dealers cannot tell the public Proton fixed all the X0 with the kit. Because Proton public policy is OPTIONAL kit.

But in reality, is it really optional? NO. It's not dealer's level of decision making anymore, if all the car comes in with the kit.

aerodynamic tak elok

My car and those owner before me, comes without.

Actually new car they don’t advice to straight go above 100kph (realistically speaking it’s the RPM, don’t push that to 4-5k limits so quick).

I heard that lots of people complaining about the NVH even in 80 km/h.
Has proton solved it yet and does the noise feel annoying ?

Yeah. For the first 1000km. Try not to rev the engine above 3k rpm.

fook loi dealer ka bos?

mana tau sa dah bawa ke karak,
dah tekan kaw-kaw,

Huhu. Mana la tau, kan? (T_T)

Everyday kept thinking about this car. To upgrade from Preve. So tempted.

Either Flagship or Executive. Don't want to consider other spec. Either all out to get the autonomous driving or save money get the cheap one. Is 18k difference justifiable?

What turn me off is.

1. Long waiting period
2. Small boot space compared to HRV. I thought HRV boot is already small

Why not X70. Theoretically, preve is a c-segment and x50 is a b-segment suv. You are actually downgrading in terms of size.

Since boot space is a concern, might as well get a proper c-segment suv

Yes and No.

YES,The NVH of X50 i would say pretty on par. Its come with the package so this might be a deal breaker or u gonna live with that.
NO, PROTON have no solutions yet.

I noticed it prior during the test drive. I informed my SA straight. Wind noise is indeed easily noticeable even below 80 km/h. SA have no clue what imma talking about. Thats yr2020 ago.
U can book a test drive and see how bad it is. 80km/h is nothing. 100km/h above u will feel like at the beach.

Anyway, as one of the lab rat owner driving X50 few months down the road. I kinda feel 'dah biasa' with the wind noise. So i dont do anything with it yet. I too wait for the right solution.

I see a lot of experiments by other car owners to reduce the wind noise. Applying the 'Lintah' aero fins can help reduced the wind noise. Some creatively taped the rubbers. Thats helps too.

Thinking to upgrade because of engine performance. Need to be snappy in town. This Preve NA is ok la on highway very stable but a little bad on low speed town driving. The autonomous driving might help alot while crawlimg on traffic jam although i think i dont really need it. Its just a "nice to have" feature. But then again the Preve very hard for me to let go. Although slow and terrible transmisison, but it is actually very nice to drive, handling and the ride comfort is nice. Maybe i wont sell it. Loan apmost finished

I dont think i need the X70, its very huge and based on spec, it is quiete slow. I dont think its good for town driving. So no point since i have the Preve. Also the 18" tyre replacement will kill me! And i think the maintenance cost is much expensive.

Nope, X70 isn’t slow.

I used to think X50 is the way to go too as it have better weight/power ratio. But after driving X70, I find it has sufficient power to give you the pushed against chair reaction at junction.

If I collect my X50 on April 8th, when will the loan repayment start yeah? Any idea?
