yesterday exited the toll booth with an old cayenne side by side..
he tried to overtake me but the x50 flagship acceleration is as fast as him...
maybe he did not full throttle...

Hehe! Sports mode?
X50 bulky but speeds fast and round corner well enough.

eco mode

Totally worth it.
Just make sure u use a very good tinted which able to reject heat as high as possible. I had mine tinted with 3M and not that hot when park openly under the sun. And with the apps u can turn on the aircond earlier before u came it. Good tinted will help aircond to cool down ur car faster.

Yes. Turbo lag is annoying especially when are expecting power but already pancit. 🤣

HDC is not use for going down from genting. 🤦🏻‍♂️

sometimes i press a bit then it wont move, then when i press harder then turbo kicks in.
and the wheel spin.

Paiseh… looks like you’re right. More for off-road kind.
Didn’t read the manual enough and just winging it.

Hi does install a DSP viod warranty ?

All colors are popular except Silver. The metallic colors are available without a surcharge, that made it hard for me to choose something else.

By the way, Proton tried to cheat me with the FOC 1st service. Even I booked in 2020 they claimed I was not in the first 30000 bookings. Later they certainly admitted that I am, but this is really disappointing and a shame to treat customers who waited more than one year for the car. I would not be suprised if they do this with all customers, hoping that many will not stand up for their rights.

Another thing is this ridiculous schedule with a mandatory service every 6 month instead of 12. Just a complete waste of money if you are not driving really a lot. But if you not throw away the good oil every 6 months I guess the 5 year warranty is lost.

Overall I am satisfied with the car. Just the infotainment unit is terrible with that chinese system that is about 10 million times worse than others.

depends. but it just plugs and plays, so it should be no effect on the warranty.

for foc 1st service, i dont even care..asal i dapat the car as early as possible

as for every 6 months service, i thought all car manufacturer is using tis method to protect engine.. else oil will degrade might affect engine if not mistaken.

Sure, first service after a few weeks / 1000 km is absolutely normal.


Actually this was true some years before. Nowadays with high quality synthetic motor oils and more efficient motors the usual interval should be 10000 km. Under special circumstances it can be shorter but if you drive 5000 km a year like I do by no means you need to change the oil every six months. It is a crazy waste to throw away this oil after lets say 3000 km or less.

OK, things are different if Protons own brand motor oil would be low quality. But as it is fully synthetic and from Petronas (and not cheap!) it is for sure good quality. Obviously the 6 months interval from Proton and others is just to make business for their service centers and some mandatory aftersales income for the HQ

Volkswagen for example is already using oil that can last up to 30000 km and 2 years.

With no offense, they know what their engine need.

You can broke the warranty use that VW engine old(if it suit) for your x50. You have confidence in that oil, and enjoy the long life spend. Simple.

Anyone have install the DSP can comment and suggest a brand to install ?

Warranty normally no issue, but it all depends on service center you go. If you meet picky mechanic or manager, they can void you anything with stupid reason, as last year or this year honda xxx car warranty void as he/she using phone original high power car charger.


Me personally using carrozzeria a3500pro.
Install it recently, need slightly tune for stock speaker. I done it by myself

Last time honda famous cz warranty rejected if using aftermarket rim

Ya.. Thats an example would happen on anyone.
Unless the center straight record warranty void on their system, can change other center where accept slightly addon.

I got my driveshaft warranty claimed even using an aftermarket brake pad. The stock pad is suck but pricey at rm700. it will make the whole steering/dashboard vibrates at full force brake. Dont had this on the aftermarket brake pad for accord 2015. On Honda, I saw it depends on SC, so I went to SC that customer-friendly on warranty claim. Believe proton should be the same practice?

Hmm.. So far i think they make same practice.
As my dashcam install by myself, draw power from random fuse plug(tested safe)

i sent car for them to check door panel noise, speaker unbalance sound, side mirror blindspot will came on even no car.
They fixed speaker unbalance, half fixed panel noise, cant fix blindspot issue due to mechanic cant recreate the error.

They also notice my messed up fuse and told me to fix it, report will not be filed.

brake pad 700 so expensive?
