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.

the most biggest issue for X50 which is NO SPARE PARTS

Force dealer to buy the stock to keep it, problem is got stock for dealer to buy and store or not? When proton sell off their spare part warehouse. This issue slowly come up

Anyone got issue when u put reverse gear, the car will still move forward a bit when u release the brake?

Standard I'll check the engine tomorrow. Thanks! In any case if engine oil is low, what brand/model should I get?

Anyone have recommendations for interior compartment mats? The ones I saw on Shopee/Lazada all have the "X50" branding on them. Or would it be better to wrap the interior?

The current EO supplied by SC is the Petronas 5W-30 (GF-6A) spec oil based on the x50 manual. Previously it was using the Shell 0W-20 EO which I am currently using at my last service on 30 Sept 2021.

I supposed it would be best if you could use the exact same EO supplied by SC. However if you would like to buy it from the big petroleum companies here in Malaysia, I only managed to find EO from Caltex with 5W-30 (GF-6A) spec while all other (ie. Shell, Petronas, BHP, Petron etc) either incompatible or still using the old GF5 spec oil as found from their website.

You got links for the stuff that you bought in shopee?

What is a car seat belt clip?

i think he means 'seat belt stopper' cos our seat belt doesn't come with a clip to stop the belt retract fully
