So far so good, except for Proton link still not activated, so my phone still not link yet. SA help to checked, he informed issues with Proton HQ. The activation is still on manual paper.

Did all the inspection listed, hope I didn't miss out anything.

Thanks, I did check the front page, I may have miss it due to browsing on small phone screen.

Bayan Lepas, Penang.
Booked on 19/9.

From the dealer list, I am the first person in the list for orange colour.

Why? 🤔

I used to have a MYVI with a Silver color, which I found it is easier to maintain.
Not experience on grey but my opinion it is the next easier after silver and grey is more sportier than silver.

Since X50 is with the "sporty" look not the really the spec., if for me if must choose between the 2, I prefer to grey more than silver.

Lol..you know mine is citrus orange right?

Just my 2-cents.

Problem with Proton HQ system.
I only got my proton link running after 1 week plus.

Make sure your receive the sms from Proton as example below.

RM0 Dear vehicle owner: Your SIM card has been activated. If you have any questions, please contact us at 1-800-88-8398. Thank you.

After received, you have to logout your Proton Link app and login again in order for your phone to link to your car.

If still did receive sms from Proton, try goto Proton Facebook and msg their customer support.
Try your luck, so far the standard answer is system problem, please wait for another few days or 2 days.

Agreed, expect 1.5 turbo = 2.0 NA engine consumption.

Google is your best friend. If you want to compare, Forester still lost to HR-V in both power and fuel consumption.
https://www.nrcan.gc.ca/sites/www.nrcan.gc....ion%20Guide.pdf


From the report the range for class M (Medium) or L (large) or US (Utility Sport), 2.0 cc engine and my rough range is around:
City 8.0~11 L/100km and Highway 7.0~8.5 L/100km

Your claimed on Subaru Forester (hear say?? or user?).
9km/l - 13km/l = 11.1 L/100KM ~ 7.69 L/100KM

X50's user claimed:
8.1 L/100km ~ 10L/100km on City use.
On highway, FB users reported higher mileage (upto 15km/l = 6.7 L/100km) but don't trust this figure, different users may different speed.

The whole points above, that I'm not understatement as this consideration of power and transmission.
This is consumption expected around 2.0 NA engine.
From my experience on Peugeot 405 -2.0 engine, this is the range as well (around 7L/100 KM ~ 9L/100 KM).

Glad it is working for you.
Enjoy.

@ycs

I managed to saw a silver X50 flagship today.

Honestly speaking here on my opinion, the color look dull and not really attractive like my orange.

I rmb you were given choice between jet grey and silvee.
jet grey, look better than silver.
Silver X50 really hard to notice.
The color is too dull for a sport look car.

Anyhow color is really personal taste.

Based latest news for MCO, except few state will change to CMCO or RMCO starting 19 Feb, perhaps you should look for runners in other state for interchange no.

My experience as follows:-

1) No issue for me as I'm a bit short (1.69m in height), the side mirror is a known issue for taller person. No fixed as I known.

2) Seldom hear wind sound for me at high speed 80km/h~100km/h, I did hear few times and I think depending on the wind attack angle. For me when I hear it, it is obviously coming from side mirror.
I do see in FB, few users experience same problem like you. Perhaps you could try go back to SC to check the door seal to make sure it is assembled correctly.
Additionally, you could also try install sound proof in the tweeter housing near the door. Some reported it is working for them. I did put sound proof on it when my car went for tinting on next day.

In my personal opinion, I do feel the door seals are bit too soft, if the door didn't align properly, possibility the rubber may not seal properly. Soft supposed to work well, but I do see the negative side, if the door didn't aligned properly and closed properly, there may be gap or not tight enough near hinge area.

3) For the Proton link, when I received the car, I faced the same issue, not link. Thus I informed SA and also Proton in their FB. The response it sort of standard, server issue and my SA told me the linking process is still manual process using hard-copies, thus I believe Proton maybe overwhelming with car registration and also big issued after they migrated to new system has cause alot issues and delay.

Back to the point here, after notified 2x Proton in FB, I received the sms message after a week stating "Dear vehicle owner: Your SIM card has been activated...".
When I first open the Proton Link app, I didn't see the car. I have to logout and login again in order for the app to sync with server for me to select X50.
I got my car on 24/Jan (a week delay due to Proton system was down) and only received the sms on 5/Feb.

Hope this help.

yes, 4g is working, but still need sms confirmation for proton link app.

at the door there is door lock/unlock button.
Try double click x2 on the unlock button to open or close the power boot.

Those ordered before 2021 will get accidental insurance instead of Joox right?

I then it is too late to ask to download grade, when SA insurance already come default for thoae early birds like me.

But good to know.
Thanks.

Question for X50 owners here.

Did you did any upgrade for your audio system such as adding DSP and/or Sub-Woofer or changing speakers?

If yes, do you know what happen to warranty if you are tapping audio signal from speakers or using plug&play wire?

Thanks.

Your SA should know you are on which que no. for the chosen color for their branch.
Each Dealer will have their list to do follow up.

If don't have, then you better start look for another dealer or Avita or HRV 2021/2022.

Thanks for sharing.

It is still a risk, if changing any part of the audio system and may lead to the void warranty for the head unit, which also control the rest of car functions like 360 cameras and LWS, etc.

In that case, I will stay low for a year or 2 before look into the options, as far I as read here, Geely only provide 3 years warranty for the audio systems. Not sure about Proton.

I got 2.29% from PBB with 7yrs loan.

Heads-up / sharing here for X50 users.

My X50 went for 1k/1month first service on last week.

Proton 3S center informed their Proton system is down and insisted you must paid first for 1st services.

To make it short, I have to argued my way out with the manager and insisted not to pay anything until their system is up for clarification. The solution now, if system is up and claim I not the user first 30,000 booking then I will have make my complaint to Proton HQ.

As I have an official receipt that I booked before they even announce 20k booking from 2 weeks after launching. Thus I'm very sure I'm one of the 20k customers who booked earlier.

No, that I'm disagreed with you here on my situation.

To me the problem is the dealer also cant commit to the system will settle and refund within 1-2 months. I already compromising, if they cant commit why should I.
After all, I been given excuses from day of booking that system error can't check booking, then also after that can't confirm chasis due system down. Lastly here system down on servicing records.

No that I'm dealing with different branch, they do have the physical records.

Thus I put it as my sharing for other users. If you are unlucky, you wont able to get refund due their stupid system upgrade.
If you are taking risks, this is up to you. Respected your decision.
