Looks indeed tinted, but obviously it is not when Proton says so.

Guys, can anyone confirm if the factory version comes with tinting? It looks to my naked eye like there is tinting.

My SA says no tinting whatsoever. Car workshop Uncle say got, and better just keep using it vs putting a cheap rm1.5k tint.

Any opinions? My budget for tinting around rm1.5k, and also must be JPJ compliant.

Thanks!

Good tint will costs double of that amount. You won't regret if you have a good tint on your car as it protects and cool your car and easily lasts more than 10 years without any peeling effect. It's up to you to choose whichever brand you desire. The difference between them boils down to your own preference. Hence, I would not recommend any specific brand here.

I went for Totalgard Tint for rm900 for their top of line product, on my x70 with sunroof. Installed it at their factory in Kepong, KL

I'm quite sure no tint. I watched my tint being installed end-to-end and confirm no tint. FYI, Proton service center is planning to sell Llumar tint as an official add-on, price ~RM2.1k I think.

Guys, what kind of fuel economy are you all seeing for normal day to day driving?

Please specify if it is the FS or S/Exec/Prem model
*
For Flagship, I am getting ~10km/L average after 1,200km mileage. Driving mostly on eco with the ICC on.

I think only way to get the claimed 6-7L/100km is to really drive a lot on highway cruise where FC is ~ 3-4L/100km.

In urban city and short roads like Penang island, not really possible.

Just installed power boot at all cross fifty with leg sensor.

If u planned to install one make sure it is not universal model. Universal wont let u open/close boot from the unlock button at driver seat.
*
Did Proton service center confirm that installing power boot outside won't void warranty? RM2k is much cheaper than the RM3k they are quoting for power boot standlone without kick sensor.

Congratulations!! smile.gif

Yeah, I think the wind noise is normal air resistance + tire rolling; quite good even at 110++ speeds.

For the speakers, I realize bluetooth amp got issue; try to play via USB/QD link/JOOX and sound quality improves a lot.

Please let us know and share which amp/speaker set you end up getting. Hopefully plug n play so no void warranty.

But best solution use rfid lah. Hopefully plus highway can implement it asap to all entry/exit point.

Just tested today, RFID pasted on upper left side on outer windscreen works perfectly with 3M Crystalline. Probably gonna skip Smart Tag unless toll on my work route doesn't have RFID.

Yeah sound proof were good, so far I only tried with Radio FM, haven't try bluetooth/usb and stuffs yet.

Looking for Component set for front like DB Drive or Focal entry level set hopefully without addition of amp, if buy high end speaker usually high RMS need stronger amp to power them.

let's see.. usually accessories will want us add amp

No wind noise?
Mind doesnt have high pitch wind noise but got wind noise; the one u usually heard when drive 160kmj. Lol.

Before upgrading ur speaker i am suggesting u to add on DSP. It sound so much better even with the stock speaker. I am planning to add one later. Plug and play. No wire cutting. Maybe pegasus brand around rm999 at all cross fifty.

Normal wind noise at 100kph is expected to me, I don't think this is unacceptable or annoying as car reviewers commented.

Meanwhile a quick check if we were to take urban/utility package from Proton, the power tail gate came with Proton logo/wording?

The complaints about wind noise is coming in at 70-80km/h. The wind is like hitting the upper side of the drive n right passenger windows. If your car doesn't feel any wind noise below 100kmh then good for you. Most of those complaining are owners since first batch till before June this year.

Glad that they solved it, hope the earlier batch owner get a fix soon. So far the wind noise are minimal and acceptable level as how I think other car should have at this speed.

Meanwhile for right side mirror, to me the angle were alright, I'm just 170cm so not a big issue to me, but would be better if can be angle just slightly more outwards, luckily it was a curved mirror so coverage were pretty decent.

Also tried the ICC today I felt it stay a bit too much on the left of the lane where motorcycles would often cross, not sure if the system would learn and adapt the preferred distance we would like when ICC is on while we resist the steering for a bit longer. hmm.gif

Better get TPV like Enzo which is more durable than EVA foam.

that the cons of having small-displacement turbo engine vs NA of equivalent HP/ Torque. It will good relatively on NA for FC vs turbo. in Turbo will get good fc at highway traveling
