Facelift is essentially the same car as the current ones. It is just... A facelift.

Talk about Proton SC, I find quite easily to claim part instead of throwing a "its normal" or "No problem traced" to your face.

I find many other car maker is hard to make claim. I had my Headlamp replaced just because the coating seems peeling a bit after 2 years, I don't think other carmaker willing to change that for you and simply call it a "wear and tear"
*
What coating?

Headlamp originally there is a coating, mine peel off a little on my other car at the top corner where it get exposed to sun the most.

Not obvious, need to look closely then u will find top layer goes off a little, which will cause headlamp fogging slowly

May i know what model we are talking about. Thanks.

My understanding is that the 30% is for the management working in office. The rest of the management will be working from home.

If you ask financial planner then they probably advise you not to get X50 if you have a house loan and you are thinking about 7-9 years repayment period.

Keep the money for emergency bro especially during covid situation.

But yea the rate is quite low these day, you can easily get 2.21 - 2.28 no problem
*
These rates are for variable or fixed rate loan?

This is peculiar since we don't hear the same problem with X70 hmm.gif

Another reason to reconsider the purchase of X50. Perhaps the X70 is a better buy?

Google is your best friend. If you want to compare, Forester still lost to HR-V in both power and fuel consumption.
https://www.nrcan.gc.ca/sites/www.nrcan.gc....ion%20Guide.pdf
From the report the range for class M (Medium) or L (large) or US (Utility Sport), 2.0 cc engine and my rough range is around:
City 8.0~11 L/100km and Highway 7.0~8.5 L/100km

Your claimed on Subaru Forester (hear say?? or user?).
9km/l - 13km/l = 11.1 L/100KM  ~ 7.69 L/100KM

X50's user claimed:
8.1 L/100km ~ 10L/100km on City use.
On highway, FB users reported higher mileage (upto 15km/l = 6.7 L/100km) but don't trust this figure, different users may different speed.

The whole points above, that I'm not understatement as this consideration of power and transmission.
This is consumption expected around 2.0 NA engine.
From my experience on Peugeot 405 -2.0 engine, this is the range as well (around 7L/100 KM ~ 9L/100 KM).
*
Peugeot 405 is a bit too old. It doesn't fairly represent the modern 2.0.

Not mandatory. But most dealer will assign the units to those who wanted to purchase the optional package first.

I thought Proton made it very clear that queue jumping is not allowed. Guess it's all talk and no action?

Proton impose this package to dealer...
dealer have to sell with the package else they have to absorb it
what dealer do if the buyer refuse to take the package?
of course let other jump queue la
*
That's the words of dealerships who out to make some quick bucks. Proton clarified on many occasions that it is not compulsory and no queue jumping.

Please be careful to new buyers. If you are forced to buy the utility package, make sure they will install it when the car arrives. Luckily I found out the outlet didn't install for previous buyers, so I negotiated for my case. Really had to bargain and argue. For now I get a promise they'll install for me when the car is here. Fingers crossed. But damn ... Money hungry, sendiri first businesses really not worth to support. This is the last time I'm getting my car from them.

I'd rather missed the tax holiday than supporting that kind of businessman.

Just took delivery of my X50 Premium and drove it quite a bit for the past 2 days.

First impressions:
1. Power is good - layman like me can't tell if its lacking from the FS.
2. Don't seem to hear any whistling wind noise even driving at 130 km/h
3. Automatic headlights are way too sensitive
4. Speakers suck
5. Been driving on highway on normal mode and the avg fuel consumption is 11L/100km
*
Your highway FC is kind of high. At what speed if i may ask?

agreed on carbon build-up issues. but it happens per 60k km interval and costs about rm500-700 per cleaning outside. no manufacturer offers walnut cleaning as service interval including proton. for me rm700 per 60k km is ok
*
For those who want to only service their cars through the official channel, what options (offer by the manufacturer) do they have with regard to this carbon build up?

I'm talking about those who already bought the current DI model, not some future engine options.
