I tend to agree here. After looking at all the suggested vehicles, X50 is top on my list. The orange is very pretty. Most likely to get the Premium in this color.

I can afford the flagship, but dislike moonroof. Not in favor of DI engines, prefer port injection.
*
Personally I think is either Flagship or Exec

Standard too low

Premium a bit pointless unless u really fancy the LCD display, bigger rim and dual tone interior

So guys, I'm actually having a huge dilemma on whether to install a security tint or non-security tint.

A security tint is a double edge sword.

1) Gives extra protection to passengers.

2) But it could be fatal during emergencies when you need to break the windows to escape.

This is a real dilemma for me.

What are the odds of road rage/attack vs fire/car submerged in water?

No one can tell which is better, the non security one may also cost you lives or damaged face area if it couldn't hold up shatters well during accident, worst case blinded by the glass.

Actually to break the glass all you need is a proper tools that is made to break the glass, buy one and keep in the car within your reach.

So my pick will be security but not those thickest 9mm type, Maybe 5 to 6mm will be sufficient to me.

My family member accident case make me think twice. His daughter face is injured heavily by the glass break at side mirror when impact. Sometimes not bout robberies only. Accident impact a lot more. Till now my pretty niece still got scars on her face. As for fatal emergency. I ever take out the headrest before. Which seems quite easy with X50. Can use that to break window if needed. From What I heard. Breaking the window inside is easier than outside. But I nvr try before. Maybe U can ask the installer to demo before u install their security tint.
*
Yes I also have similar case with my relative accident in car without tinted, got rid of his eye sight up to 70% for one side and another completely blind.

600+ not yet 1k, how much can improve after 1k service?

Technically should improve, also physically you are more used to the car behavior.

But don't expect day and night different, maybe 10-15%

executive (tyre 215/60/r17, kerb weight 1345kg) and premium (215/55/r18, 1350kg), which model FC is better..
*
Too insignificant to affect FC reading considering
1. they are about the same Diameter in tire size like just 0.1 Inch difference only.
2. 5kg differences.
3. Same engine & GB tech.

If u want savings, Exec will get u more saving from :-
1. Insurance
2. Tyre replacement cheaper

Anyone know the Turbo boost pressure for X50?
And does the Eco/Normal/Sport mode changes the boost or just the throttle response and TCU?

Guy I booked on 1 March 2021. How likely to get car within 3 months? I got Proton X50 blue executive.
*
Blue considered less demand color, queue will be shorter.

But 3 Months still unlikely.. unless the branch u went have very little queue for Blue Exec

Actually as you can turn on AC before you enter the car via the app, tinting is not so necessary for x50. not sure if i will do, defintely i am not in a hurry
*
Tinting is not for when you get in to car from hot day, the heat will accumulate no matter what tint you use,
to me tint it helps a lot when u driving at sunny day where the sun blast on your skin directly that you'll feel the heat burning your skin

Official from Proton, X50 fuel performance is 6.4 litres per 100 kilometres for the 1.5 TGDi model, and 6.5 litres per 100 kilometres for the regular 1.5 T.

Anyone get the performance as expected ?
*
There is no cars in the market you will find the FC claim is as how daily usage is, that is just the best case scenario, a potential where it can achieve.

Be it Axia 21km/l claim the best I manage to squueze only 17.8km/l and sometimes even getting as low as 13km/l

all my cars were/are tinted. my last one after 6 month untinted, so I know the difference. Normal untinted glass of windshield already protects you from all UVA and UVB. So even you don“t wear a shirt it is impossible to get a sunburn. You know that tinting is illegal in many countries? no ones flesh burned there.

A/C for me is one million more important than tinting.
*
If you're happy without it, yeah why not? back then 20 years ago people also drive their cars without tinting, that era even the glass does not even come with any UV protection and they still live till today.

It is the same question as to people ask why buy X50 while we can buy an Axia which also fetch 5 pax, it is a matter of comfort, good tint does really shield off significant amount of heat and it is not a gimnick, but if you can live without it, nobody can make you install one.

Out of curiousity mind to share what tint you use for the other cars and its price?
