Went to test drive flagship today but the traffic was so jammed so couldn't really test much.

engine is quiet when accelerating and when in sport mode, the engine seems slightly "too" responsive for me. I think comfort mode will suit me more.

The 360 camera is really bad in quality but as long as it gets the job done I'm fine with it. Speakers quality not as bad as I expected since many complained about it, but the middle does sound a bit hollow.

Yes, i’m not dare to use sport mode when turning into a small lorong.
so far didnt feel any vibration even low speed driving.
During normal mode, the handling is good and responsive, even did a sharp turn (not dare to say moose test here) to siam a reckless driver cut into my lane. Just my SA shocking.gif afterwards.

top up a bit can get honda civic tulbo

Another 30k? For some, it’s a lot too, not even counting the flat rate interest based on these 30k differences.
With this thinking, you might as well top up a bit goto mazda 3 from civic turbo.

Test drive both 1st, then only compare them.

Shouldn't it be 2.22% for 5 years, like what Proton said during launch day? Or dependant on other information as well?
*
Mine was 2.23% 5yrs 90k. It’s depends on ur credit score, year of loan, loan amount, and your record with the bank. My salary goes into cimb, so they can definitely offer better rate than others.

I think the only time i drive barefoot should be sometimes when washing my car myself at car porch.
Anyway, not sure this promo code still works, AUTOBUZZ10, when checking review for trapo

Got my Mark 2 Trapo but not that soft for barefoot users. The material like foam no unpleasant smell. The Trapo site said 50% recycled raw materials that include excess ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) foam for while the rest of the mat use virgin fibres. Back fix is like sharp tiny hair to grip the carpet. The boot mat don't have the tiny hair. Quite light to carry. But my car still at Proton manufacturing plant. Wait wait wait 2 months already, how long?

Good review, i just placed order for Dodo yesterday as they giving free sunshade and cheaper compared to Trapo Hex. I think same as most other buyers, which accessories have arrived but not the car.

Hopefully the car can be delivered before my Taobao shipment arrived.

If you bought for Geely Binyue or Coolray, maybe you might need to flip both front car mat to use the back side for right hand drive. Ha ha ha tongue.gif

No la, i bought car mat locally, since the price difference not much and the LHD to RHD issue.

If you join the FB Group Proton X50 Community Malaysia (PX50CM), quite a number has gotten their cars.

Congratulation. There’s too many fb groups for x50 till i’m confused too. rclxub.gif
What color you took? Is the brake producing a lot of iron dust, like most of the proton models?

NVH is bad, some claim installing door visor helps

Some owners who took car advised to feedback to proton and let the SC do their job 1st, instead do any installation of door visor or rubber around the door.

I'm into my 7 months of waiting for the car. The worst thing is, the SA didn't bother to update me on the car status and when I asked certain matters, he didn't bother to reply.  This is the last Proton for me.

When did your loan get approved? Use this as ur advantage if yours approved earlier.

My loan was approved in November 2020.  Now expired & have to extend again.  It's sickening.

I'm also applying to another bank which offers lower HP rate compared to the earlier bank.
*
It’s ok to renew, once reaching 6 months after your 1st loan approval date, start calling Proton careline daily. HQ will chase after the dealer. I got my chassis number after 1 week.

But don’t ask me in case u changed and applied multiple banks to compare the rate, as i just stick to 1 bank since 1st application.

Android Auto and CarPlay used to be the priority for me. After more research and waiting over the years, it becomes less of a priority lol. There's always pairing issues here and there whenever an update is pushed out.

Just got my X50 this month and Android Auto is still not officially available in Malaysia. Maybe my next car many years from now, will have Android Auto OS, like the Polestar.

In the meantime, perhaps a  new car phone mount laugh.gif

Yes, actually it’s not a very big deal to me.
Except the always-screen-on mode needed in QDlink, much of the stuffs can be done as well.
The experience can be better if you know how to automate stuff using Tasker in Android and tune the sound equalizer on phone instead of relying on IHU.

Apple fans, don’t condemn me.

for every service, 1k, 10k, etc... it is either time (month) OR mileage, whichever comes first
to be sure, call your Service Center
usually SC will call when your service is due (by month), if you skip or delay because mileage not reach yet, they will advice you to still come for the service so that you will not void the warranty

FYI, i did my 1k service at 900km mileage (end of dec 20)
my 10,000km mileage is due at end of June 21, due to MCO, my mileage only at 5800km now
i got my car early December 20 & didnt do any coating
however i do wash my car regularly every week & I put liquid wax every 2/3 washes depends on circumstances
if i see waterspots, i use waterspot remover
if there's any tree sap or bird poo, i quickly use spray type quik detailer to remove it

so far, so good, didnt have any regret
*
Me too, Turtle wax seal n shine works well for the past few weeks for me.
I’ve decided not go for coating after youtube algo recommended this longetivity test of coating and wax https://youtu.be/f7Nua1sSsnA

Btw, what brand of water spot removal product you use? The rear proton emblem part easy to get waterspot.
