Pity x50 did not follow Coolray or Binyue with DVR built-in connected to the 360 cameras. The 360 view is not 3D like Coolray/Binyue/x70 but instead 2D. Heard the the side cameras is a bit low resolution.

I can confirm this. Camera is lackluster for a car that comes from land of cheap stuff.

Anyone make any features comparison to original Geely yet? These findings are based on my first hand POV at proton cyberjaya. They have premium in white and flagship in red. Hv yet to do a test drive.
Plus:
1. rear aircond vents and 2 USB
2. Tuned to M'sia ride and handling

Minus :
1. No mood lights based on driving mode all around the car.
2. No integrated DVR.
3. 2D view of car
4. Off center steering wheel (acceptable minor misaligned)
5. Nets for storage at the side of the boot
6. Power socket beside the boot light

Optional
1. Power tailgate (no kick sensor)

Ps: maybe proton can add high res camera in the tech pack as well.

Add few things that I noticed

Yes correct.

And pending for overall ownership cost as we don't have official service price yet.  Do we have to buy 2 4L oil or 4L plus 1L. Proton will sure mark the price.
Since it has 5 year warranty, you will stuck to service at proton for that period of time.. better find a good dealer if you are considering to buy it.

Here is the service schedule and costs I found.

I noticed missing is the fan belt. Cannot last forever and sure putus if sport mode all the time.

Additional cost would be the battery and tyres wow 18".

and the timing belt is missing.

Ya, I was referring to timing belt my mistake. Fan belt so far didn't notice putus except the motor jammed. Temporary measure ketuk with hammer but have to change and cannot ketuk all the time.

Any recommendation for car mat? Is trapo good?
*
I just bought Trapo slightly cheaper than Dodomat. I pick the full set with fix including the boot mat. Ottoman mat is leather looking more premium but should cost more also.

I bought mine during 11 11 so got it less than RM600. Haven't receive yet.

i bought trapo mat also when 10th Nov, the last day of 15% off for X50 and New City

Plan to buy it at lazada that time coz got much more offer. But end up find out it's only classic mark 2 with 1 year warranty only..

Trapo Hex at trapo website pricier a bit (not much), but got a 5-year warranty.
Anyway, received a call just now that, my mat dah sampai.... rclxm9.gif

The down part is car belum sampai mat sudah sampai dulu.. cry.gif  cry.gif

Damn didn't notice got better deal than my 11 11 purchase of Trapo mat. Those of you still looking can have a look at this Dodomat offer.

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?

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

any idea on the 18 inch tire size and what is the estimate budget to change the tire?
*
The new tyres should last at least 3yrs depending on how much drifting you do

This is the reply I get when complain about their car allocation system. So those who are lucky or know how to cut here and there can get the car first. Unlucky have to wait between 3 to 6 months even booked on Sept this year.

Can someone assist to advise what the below highlighted means? I've tried turning it on via the infotainment system. Does it mean that my car will horn and flash lights when I lock my car? Because I still only get lights feedback when I lock my car. Thanks!

Better use flash lights only. Mine initial setting is horn and flash light. The horn is quite loud and can even frighten yourself. Even worse at carpark, people start staring at you when the the car horn.

X50 SUV VIBRATION issue finally solved due to drive shaft or cv joint was not installed properly during assembly at the factory. The VIBRATION is bad near the fuel and brake paddle when accelerate at low speed and not so obvious if you are at higher speed. When stop at traffic with the brake engage, most of the time you can feel the vibration also. Have to suffer bangwall.gif until 2nd service cause during 1st didn't manage to solve the problem then came MCO....

It was not properly installed in what way? Hope you could share a little bit further. Thank you in advance.

Fortunately there's no defective parts or else have to wait... You tell me how long you wait for your car.
If I'm not mistaken, it's just the bolts not tighten according to specification.

Just incase anyone want to top up coolant can buy from Proton SC 3S or 4S. It's less than RM30 for 1.5L. I managed to get free leftover from SC to top up my car coolant which reached slightly below minimum level. There's about 0.5L left and I only used about 0.3L to fill up from minimum to maximum level.

Anyone having this issue when the aircond fan is set at level 1 to 3, there is this high pitch sound from the aircond vent?

When it's set at level 4 and above, the noise disappear. It's not really that audible but it's really annoying especially in the early morning when it's kinda quiet.
*
Mine got whistle sound after service. Not sure whether got any relation to air flow after changing the cabin filter. But after a while didn't notice the whistle sound maybe set the air blower at level 2-3.

Lucky got no small kids or else get pee all over the car biggrin.gif
