60kmh for me

Morning,

Just want ask. i did read manual. is there any way for passenger to lock his/her side of the door? only way to look is from button and the auto lock right.

Just ask in case i missed something.

Thanks,
Stick

For my case I was told straight up that Premium is the most popular variant at the sales centre and was proposed to get Executive instead. I turned that down.

Which variant is yours? Flagship sound louder because of the Direct Injection. But while idling I don't hear any sound when in the car, of course all windows closed.
Another possibility could be your parking surrounded by walls the sound is reflecting back to the cabin.

A quick check would be the engine oil dipstick should be atleast around 3bar on flat surface with cold engine.

cant bear the wind noise after 80 kmh

When you got the car?
Mine don't have wind noise like that... but it also depends on wind direction, sometimes at 120km/h I hear loud wind noise at passenger side

got my car last month

Keep see a lot issues from the community fb group, feel like wanna cancel booking haih

i wonder what are the other options if cancel booking now, for the conditions of similar budget, and can get car asap.

Vios, almera, city

Which group u joined?

If in doubt, i will suggest dont buy.

but if you from X50 chinese group. i suggest less refer their opinion, not constructive at all.

because:

- when there a car got random issue (whatever the issue is). next thing will happen, a lot people appear 'claim' they have similar issue. but this time you try click in profile that so-called claim got same issue, you will know mostly just hater or troll

- every car have their own problem, esepcially ativa/x50 make car overall more complex. but people look it like 30 years ago proton saga, where nothing electronic inside (maybe ac pun tiada?)

- for more 'serious' issue, i think is the engine kong. so far i heard is 4 unit from 20K+ x50. 1 of it is Flagship, engine con rod not sure break or detached and break the engine.

- other just minor issue here and there, and I repeat: if in doubt, dont buy.

I think the biggest concern is if you got into a accident, the X50 will spend quite some time in the SC due to limited spare parts .
Some argue you can get your car fixed in non-proton workshops but I think proton wont honor the warranty anymore (dont quote me on this).
That's a big IF - but still a valid concern nonetheless.

I booked a premium but will cancel my order soon and will consider again in future if the spare part situation improves.
Saving the few K for SST seems like a good idea at first but I can't afford to have it sitting in the SC if something unfortunate happens because I will be trading my car in.

Lastly, please bear in mind that for every issue that you read in FB, there's many more owners who are satisfied with their purchase.
Like the josh5671 mentioned, if in doubt, don't buy.

Yes, I see a lot post on SC issues for spare parts take a long time. I am still thinking la. I am going to do more test drives

I am driving vios 2010, overdue to change, been eye-ing b segment SUVs

that group i wont comment so much because its technically controlled by proton SA.
also they nuked quite a lot post. (true issue and troll too)

or you can consider Ativa, but still if you observe ativa group...have its own problem too.

Luckily i choose x70 back then. Sa said x50 more features but x70 more premium feel.

Oi x70 come x50 thread kecam u ah

these 3 also can get car fast?

Might be faster compared to x50. Need to check which branch has more allocation, especially now since no more sst extension.
Try visiting afew branch (less famous preferable) to get ahead of the queue.
