So how? the spare parts issue is during pandemic time la, where everything stalled not just protong parts i got a X70 since 2018, so far so good not so much issues in terms of service and maintenance cost, and expected for SUV range. theres only one case dunno suddenly system issue car kenot startup, but it was software than hardware and rectified without going to SC

QUOTE(taitianhin @ Nov 29 2023, 10:17 AM) For sedan, no way i gonna choose proton over Jap Brand.... Just like at that price, we wouldnt buy Proton in UK. Why buy it here? I don't understand. What do you mean Proton in the UK? Right now they are priced against the locally assembled City and Vios, which in terms of value for money, the S70 is better.

I dunno. I was still a student when Insapla was launched. But from what I heard is that they have 2 c segment models (Insapla and Preve) both eating each other's sale.

Mounting had to change within 3+ years, out of warranty only 3 years for mounting not the advertised 5 years. Steering rack changed, under warranty. Suspension noise, unsolved by SC. Fuel consumption mak oihh high as Snoop Dogg, full tank 500km for RM100 at RM2.05/l. This one X50/70 also same, my fren complain 8.5km/l on his X50. url=https://pictr.com/image/EFFsIj]  [/url]

It all started at Proton...and then AP to control the pricing of foreign car. Honda Toyota didnt start this le they try to sell a standard car, but AP made it hard for msia to reach it

Rubber seal perish got to do with fast? You can go onto X70 owner FB page and see, basically 2018/2019 cars all changed mounting. And no my driving is standard KL driving. No jam day to day, I work odd hours, still can only get 500km for full tank. 10km/l. My best ever was road trip to east coast, 600km. Pure highway driving, under speed limit. Only 12km/l.
