Yes the thigh support not able to cover whole thigh.

But there is accessories available to extend the seat thigh support available online made for X50, not sure if anyone tried that.

Fully agree and yes, you can get the seat extender but i doubt it is effective as it looks flimsy.
A different question, any owner install a EZBPOWER super conductor to supposedly extend car battery life by 10 folds? I m interested as worried of short battery life incidence as reported by owner in fb.
You can search this brand in fb or Google it. It's from taiwan.
Thank you

Ezbpower? Extend battery life 10x? More like marketing bs.
Be serious, if it few hundred can be install.
But it is 3K, you can change like 8 time amaron battery be like 10 yr(if you 1 year+- 1 battery)

Tldr make no sense.

Theoretically, it should extend the car battery life as cranking will be done from the super conductor rather than our car battery, test shows a 2500cc car can be started using a motorcycle battery but again, as you have mentioned, it could be another marketing bs.
I am surely not expecting 10 times extension but if can get like 3 yrs will be already a bonus not to seek saving in battery replacement but rather peace of mind not to be surprised by dead battery when starting car. Apart from the battery life extension, it has other attractive positive feedback with the car, yes again it can be another bs.
Btw, my brother's bm plug in hybrid car's battery can last more than 3yrs with very little usage just bcos cranking hybrid car comes from hybrid battery rather than car battery.
Just like to seek owners opinion n feedback who have used this product before. Tq

Maybe my word is too offensive.

In the other hand, everytime i hear these modifications they claim plug and play i will raise my eyebrow.
'it should be fine' until things go wrong.

Surely the crank will be better because battery keep the super capacitor in charge after engine stopped.
And release it when you start.
Not sure about long period of stopping(maybe week+) it still keep charge.

But there claim, gear switching more smooth, engine respond faster? How that even magically happened.?????

Just a over claim products. The x50 battery is not that expansive or using like those in Conti car, like DIN95 cost rm1k plus etc.

If want to extend the battery life, buy those Bosch Car Battery charger. Best buy items, do DIY maintenance monthly

My x70 stock battery is heading 2 years+ with charging every 2 months time, while Accord heading 3 years old. If anything problem with battery, can straight away open battery apps and ask them fo to install at my location

Of course if given option I would want the car seat came extended, the seat extender doesn't come cheap as well.

meanwhile for the Super Conductor, does it work like Voltage Stabilizer?

My bad, it's actually supercapacitors and not super conductor. And yes, one of its functions is also helping to stabilize voltage as advertised.
Option to get tricker charger for my car battery is not an option as i am staying in a condo, removing the car battery to be charged at home will not be a nice solution.

Hi guys, I just got my X50 in December last year and within just 4 months, my car bumper got hit by a careless driver who was reversing his car next to my parking slot.

I've managed to claim his 3rd party insurance for this but as you would know, all this is being handled by an "agent" at the Balai who managed the entire process for me, including offering to do the repair works at his workshop. 

Just wondering, for the sake of convenience, does repairing the bumper affect any of my warranty? Or should I have the repairs at a service centre? I'm asking because of the additional sensors everywhere which is different from my older cars, so just wanted to be sure how to maneuver around this.
*
For case like this better straight send to official proton SC. Just brush off the agent said u want to keep warranty and official spare parts. He might pujuk u but ignore it.

Things is this car got lots of sensor. Accident might look minor but u wouldnt know if sensor still ok or not. Send to official SC they will do all the checking and replace everythg.

Also i dont believe any workshop. Either official SC or my trusted workshop.

But i feel weird why u got agent. When i had accident previously with my old car, i liaise directly with the inspector. No need agent woo. Not that difficult pun. Simple task je.

Guess every car has its own issues - it all boils down to the after sales service that is received from the manufacturer
