Just received mine yesterday. Booked at Glenmarie SA. I also dont know how I can get mine so early despite the SA telling me that early batches are mostly for VIPs (and trust me I am a nobody).

Car drives good. The power steering is a tad too light IMO. After I drove my old car to park which I think has a light steering felt so heavy.

The thing I directly notice and dislike the most about it would probably be its lack of thigh support. Quickly felt tired during driving. The support/cushion is there just that its not high enough to really support the thighs. Not sure if its my seat/steering position that is causing this. I think Adrian from Wapcar addresses this in his review.

The thing I like the most was the Proton Link. Its so useful and has some good function in it.

But guys, the dashboard and A pillar gap is real. Hahaha. But not to obvious tho. Thank God I dont have the misalign rear lights.

Congrats rclxms.gif You are fortunate!! My SA is lously and downright lazy. You have to ask him, only then he replied, no initiative at all.  Standard reply 3-6 months. I booked on 2 October, till now no news hmm.gif

Thanks. Been enjoying the car so far.

Are you sitting too close to the steering wheel? How tall are you by the way?

I am far away from tall. 165cm. I do tend to sit a bit more closely. This maybe the problem I guess. Will try and adjust and hopefully find a sweet spot.

If you mean to reach optimum of performance and efficiency 10k should be quite good

But to be more gentle on throttle with virable RPM range should be 1st 1k km usually

Very hard to be gentle leh this car. What I do is just put it on eco and NEVER sport. If not asyik press. Lol.

So far when I drive my usual road for last 2 days, doesn't hear any wind noise when above 70km/h.

Normally happen also depends on wind angle.

I think it is reducing coz I didn't hear it since stick the thick tape there.

I will try to update in another week, now still cant confirm.

It is not easy to do, perhaps u want to try it yourself.
Get those red 3M double-sided tape or thick and soft tape, then put it at corner at the seal@door side or the plastic housing.

If the theory is correct here, that corner seems light only have a soft touch on yhe rubber seal, thus not enough pressure on it and also the seal at that corner also seem to out of shape (not 'D'), maybe that the reason it happened.

Thanks for the update. Definitely will try this out. The wind noise quite significant at high speed.
