Which variant to take, for trapo?

Anyone bought any of the basic coil mats online? Any recommendations?

I can feel car jerking at low speed (under 50km/h). Was told it is normal, please correct me if I am wrong.

Quite disingenuous, if 100% drive in city but using clear main roads with no traffic lights, sure can.

When people say "city drive", it means a lot of stop-start (jam, traffic lights etc). ZERO change you get anywhere close to 6.7L/100km in such a scenario.

I think the fuel consumption part is very, very subjective.

Simple thing like whether you live in condo or landed can make a difference. Whether you frequent shopping malls. Whether you drive on clearer city roads (especially during MCO, like LDP, Federal, MRRS).

Mine, single fuel can get 6.0L/100km when driving on Federal from KL to Shah Alam. But my average fuel (total mileage 220km so far) is at around 9L/100km, only using Normal mode right now, but I would say I am light footed.

I got quoting for tinting as follows, total RM3,200.

Vkool Elite 70 for windshield + Vkool 55 for driver/front passenger + Vkool 40 for rear passenger/rear windshield.

Let me know if this is okay

Direct Vkool was around RM4k, this was from their authorised dealer, Tint Shop.

Gonna get it done on Saturday.

Woah, are you saying putting such tints with such TSER, you're still not happy? This is already at the higher end as far as TSER is concerned...

Is it possible to have Waze on the display?

Yes HL around 2.30%. Try Affin, can be lower. Mine at 2.24%

I also just got Exec car last week.

May I know, how to on the car using remote? Or cannot? Very unclear, even SA didn't knew about it.

Any noticeable improvement in mileage for you guys when using eco mode vs normal mode?

Hi folks, I have two questions:

1. I collected my car 3 weeks back. From the start, the door on the driver’s side was difficult to close (need to hit very hard, only then close). No issue with the other side doors. The SA says this is normal and after a while it will become normal. Is this true? 3 weeks already and I still gotta hentam kuat, most of the time takes me multiple tries to get it to close as I’m scared to hentam hard. Is this normal?

2. Is Eco Mode really fuel saving? If yes, when does it help more - driving at low speeds with many stops, or driving smoothly at higher speeds?

How long before it’s gone?

Hi guys, is this the correct details and fee for the 1st X50 service (1,000km)?



Anything else I should be wary about with regards to the first service? I have an issue with my driver side door not closing properly, will get them to look at it.

Also, I read people say the fuel consumption will improve after first service, any truth to that?

Also, anyone know how can I report a SA to Proton? When I collected the car, I raised the issue of the driver side door not closing properly with my SA. I did not want to sign the checklist. But she insisted this problem would go away after a while. It's been 5 weeks plus since I collected the car, problem is still there. Now she says I need to go to service center to get them to sort it out, she seems aware that this problem exists and is something to do with the door nut.

I feel she cheated me, cause I clearly raised the issue before signing, and she misled me into thinking the problem will go away. Now, she's washing her hands from the problem and referring me to the service center, when in true fact she should have taken care of this issue before I signed off on the checklist and took delivery of the car.

How can I report such a SA to Proton?

Thanks!

I booking in March 2021.

So far I'm at 1,020km, average fuel at 13.3km/l. Mix of city driving and highway (mainly Federal/NKVE).

I actually find that my fuel consumption is lower when I am in slow moving traffic (e.g. ~30-50km/h) vs when on fast open roads at 90-100km/h.

Best fuel consumption is achieved on NKVE, when conserving speeds on the uphills and building speeds on the downhill. Have done KL to Shah Alam at 17.0km/l (includes door-to-door). All this while maintaining average speeds of 110km/h+ on NKVE portion of the travel. Fuel consumption on open flat road at 110km/h (e.g. Federal) cannot compare to hilly terrain (e.g. NKVE). Hilly terrain has BETTER fuel consumption.

The problem is only, fuel consumption crazy high when car is accelerating/decelerating a lot at 0-40km/h (e.g stop start traffic, mall parking go around and round etc).

I just did my 1,000km service today. Told Proton service center about the problem. They claim that the door closing issue cannot be resolved, as it is a factory defect problem with no solution provided by Proton HQ engineers. Apparently, they say this is a common complain for X50.

Is this for real? Any avenue left to get my bloody door fixed?

Can't see any defect. Only that the driver side door, must hit harder to close. If hit like normal, it 100% won't close. All the passenger doors no issue, can hit gently to close.

This is 1) irritating as most of the time first time close it will not close, have to re-do, and 2) I'm afraid may cause long term damage that may lead to rattling as the door is closed with force repeatedly.
