I'm targeting the Premium. Not infavor of these upgrades:

1. TGDi engine - DI engine tends to buildup premature carbon. This will need additional maintenance

2 .Panoramic sunroof - Dont find this useful in our weather

3. Driver assist - Dont think it will be useful for my driving

Tq for this feedback. I'm interested in this vehicle & started researching details before I plunge in. The info you put is certainly of concern!

I find the spec questionable. IMO I feel the vehicle has not got the power (177hp 256nm ) Proton claims. When it struggles against 140hp vehicles, I find this alarming. I dont believe the claimed FC. At the moment dont have any proof on this issue!

I think this is due to poor transmission design. Transmission on this vehicle is Geely inhouse design. It struggles against HRV with 40hp less!

Paul Tan claims 9s+ on sprint. I tend to believe this.

All the hype to get more sales!

Those who booked flagship are going to be disapointed the vehicle is much slower than claimed. When it struggles to beat another SUV which has 40hp less, performance figures are questionable. I believe FC too will not be as claimed!

This could be due to dual clutch transmission design not up to par with western designs. Understand transmission is inhouse Geely design.

Well that's the fact. There's whole load of guys who are not in the right mind! what u expect when Myvi fellows drive like crazy!

What color is the dashbord? If its pink, is it a mismatch with orange outside?

Yeah grey looks good. I wonder how pink will match orange on Flagship or Premium? I am considering orange Premium, but prefer grey dashbord!

2nd option is Metalic silver exterior.

I'm very interested to know this higher combustion efficiency by flat doom piston. Is it a Geely patent? Tq.

For me HRV interior is too basic & a let down for the price. Will look at the new model.

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.

I am intending to get an SUV in 2022. So decided to research the coming HRV.

1st impression , not impressed at all. The front looks aweful! Interior has improved but seems like a lazy attempt, nothing to wow! The Ativa also does not appeal to me!

X50 still leads on my list! Saw an orange X50 yesterday. Really very pretty! I'm prepared to wait for this color as I'm not in a hurry!

Wow.......which means very good response for this model. The more I look at this SUV, the more I like it. Will test drive soon.

Tks bro!

The problem in color choice is waiting period. Paint shop does not do individual request! That's just not possible. Paintshop will bulk paint,meaning paint in batches.

However this should not take more than a couple of months unless your variant is not a popular choice. Flagship would not take this long.

Yes I think so! Confront your agent, it shouldnot take so long!

10K does not make huge dent in the pocket for anyone when spread out on loan for a number of years.

However I'm not keen on the FS for another reason, something no one is looking at! FS is a DI engine, thats the reason for extra horses. The issue with DI egines is premature carbon build up. There is no running away , all DIs suffer from this phenomena. Over the years Manufactures have redesign pistons and a few items to delay this issue.

Although presently this issue is somewhat under control, its proven fact Port injection suffers less on this issue than DI engine.

For this reason & the extras which I dont consider necessary, I've decided to get Executive!Just my 2 cents worth. Welcome opinions,tq!

That is a good way of lookin at it,just add $700 to maintenance budjet. As you said it is need a deccarb only around 60K which in my case is 3 years. Good input bro!

I'd say Proton reps simply don't understand DI concepts!

Typical sales pitch. This should never be a question,unless pigs can fly!

I'd agree since this would break warranty. This where owner got to play it smart. Don't tell them, no one knows! The whole idea of walnut blasting is to keep the engine running in top shape, a service Proton does not provide.

By doing it quietly, the engine is in top shape & warranty is not void!

X50 is small. Anyone wanting space due to new addition to family should consider X70.

I remember packing my Volvo 240 to the brim with baby stuff when we had our 1st son. Some stuff had to go on to the back seat. Those days back seat could not be folded.

SUVs are great. Now that my kids are all living on their own, I'm intending to get X50. The size fits me just fine, occasionally need to carry extra stuff or tag along uncle/aunty!
