ive been driving it for 1 week.

theres something that i like and something that i dont like.

im came from persona. so my view might not be the same compared /k standard 20k/month salary that usually drive lexus or sunset orange.

exterior wise, a very handsome car in every angle. front projector lamp makes it feel like a much expansive car when driving at night. think mazda 3.

outer door handle with push to unlock is a missed opportunity.

remote start is a plus.

i dont like the UI in the infotainment screen. wish it came with aacp. dont know the reason why it came with atlas store app which in a opinion, a bloatware with no function aside from boosting their company's fragile ego. digital speedometer is also a miss. the UI decision makes the fuel gauge harder to read. not sure why they even bother to let us customise it. doesnt seem al that different to me. in short, atlas sucks balls. 1gb/m data is a joke. i only got 1 good thing to say regarding the infotainment unit. spotify. they can throw joox in a trashcan. i dont care about it.

engine wise its just fine. if you are pedal happy kind of person such as me, expect to see the spike on fuel usage. when you need it to be fast, it could be very fast albeit the slight but noticeable turbo delay when you decided to floor it.

icc is such a new thing to me, very impressive when i see it working myself. very practical in usage. the 10k difference between premium and flagship certainly is not just paying for gimmick. genuinely useful when theres slow traffic and you just want a temporary breather.
im not sure if i like the auto hold function. it feels okay when stopping at traffic light but when you are stopping at junction i suggest just turn it off. it doesnt like sudden acceleration especially when you need to cross the heavy traffic.

feel like beating dead horse here but the suspension is really soft and comfy when you are riding past the bumb, even higher than average bump but im sure you already heard it from yt reviewers.

in conclusion, perfectly capable car surpassing the likes of vios and city and maybe altis. if you can look past its quirkiness. not sure about mazda 2 and almera.

edit. voice control is also a missed opportunity. would be better if i can actually access sports mode via voice activation. instead i need to swipe down the touch screen and find the botton. if you are going to integrate the functionality anyway, why dont you just go all in? thats why i dont like atlas, they put priority on the shit that doesnt matter. make me feel like batman not a fucking pleb.

how's the NVH in ur experience?

any wind noise like X50 when driving above certain speed?
*
Don’t know about x50 never driven one

But in s70 I start hearing it at around 120km/h speed but nothing too crazy

Road noise is there on the bottom but not sure if better tyre will lessen it

Engine sound is slightly audible in the cabin

Dashboard fitting is phenomenal but then again this is a new car

Coming from persona, I feel like it’s a proper upgrade though few annoyances also being carried over

Nvh is not one of them

i'm undecided about blue vs space grey at the moment

how long you waited between booking and collection?
*
Marine blue is hot color I think so you need to take note in case it affect your waiting period

Mine is quite fast. I booked on mid December and got mine 2 days before CNY.

You might need to avoid place with long queue.

I chose white because I think it’s a lower profile color

But it’s subjective:p

now that I think about it .. X50 premium vs S70 flagship ....

S70 has more features and cheaper by RM10k+ too

did you opt for any bodykit?
*
Bought base flagship version so there’s no body kit .

Personally to me bodykit and sunroof makes it a pain in butt to maintain long term.

Do u feel that the brake pedal is quite sensitive?

U press a little and the car is already braking slightly harder than usual (compared to my old car)
*
Quite sensitive, you just need to be more gentle

Alright … one last question

Did you went outside and replace the security tint that comes with it?

If so, may I know what is the brand and the approximate cost?
*
For now im not planning to replace it

Actually the security tint they provided is quite decent in heat protection but not much privacy la

My SA told me if I chose to add second layer the tinted warranty would be voided

So I’ll just use couple of years then see again how

Hello, do you by any chance know the specs for the security tint? Mainly the IRR and VLT.
*
Can’t help you with that

My assessment is mainly based on “feeling” only

You might need to ask proton

saw that people are sideloading app to their x50 atlas ihu via xeonscript

is it applicable to s70/x90 too?
