Test drove Proton S70 flagship.
Its good!

Those looking to buy sedan car below rm100k definitely S70 no brainer. Only not for those brand conscious people or those fuel is everything to them.
Those looking for power, ride handling, space, comfort definitely can buy.

Very good. Im impressed. Can buy!

Proton cars are good, not great, but that's not a problem. It's the aftersales that sucks.

The manual is actually a decently fun car, especially with the Getrag geabox. For the auto, people has been swapping in compatible Mini gearbox in it.

Prefer Persona, but my friend who owned a Persona has a bad experience with Proton Service (multiple time, part delay, constant breakdown, oil leaking, player not working, window not working blablabla). So I go for Myvi (1 year already no issues, service also fast and on point).

This video can, because he use statistics to calculate. He calculate the fc manually and show the computer estimates. I think its 15.3km/L when he calculate manually vs 16.6km/L car estimation.

proton marketing strategy very good. put this B segment car as a C segment car and boommm almost everyday i see new post in social media people talking about it having debate, comparing it to other segment C and segment B cars. free marketing free advertising. kudos to the proton marketing teams.

It doesn't matter which segment it is, the spec very good for cars price below 100k. if u worry about spare part prices and resale value, this car not for you, this car suitable for people who values comfort and fun but cant afford civic/corolla/ or on a tight budget. for family n budget conscious, alza probably a better choice and better value under 100k.

one tips if u unhappy with proton service center u can lodge a complaint/email to customer service department. that service center will chase after you to close the report. I did it before and then after few round of discussion with service center representative and also service center manager i got free service and money refund.

The materials just “feel” nice only…uncle supply panel rasins to germany car, but never to Geely and Proton because they are not affordable to it.

This kind of “premium” material/feel can only tipu b40/m40…

Macam grade B LV bag…belum grade A…

If you driving BMW and Mercedes, easily can tell it is different…

Perodua HU is a standalone so can just swap it out. Proton's Atlas one meanwhile is integrated with the car and not as straight forward to swap out the unit and replace with another as it's connected to the ECU and other functionality.

those are not your typical daily driver
and they're not using the same technology too

try owning a sub RM100k 3 cylinder engine car as a daily driver...you'll regret it in the end when u knew how much it cost to replace those "mounting"

there are 2 ways u can go for this
1. do it like perodua do, just let it vibrate...replacement is cheap
2. go for the modern "mounting" route, it only vibrates at the engine bay....replacement is crazy expensive

Those looking to buy sedan car below rm100k definitely S70 no brainer. Only not for those brand conscious people or those fuel is everything to them.
Those looking for power, ride handling, space, comfort definitely can buy.

Very good. Im impressed. Can buy!

I was able to "review" a unit last year.

It definitely is spacious at the back seat.

Boot space is adequate, freaking equivalent to Bezza.

I'm talking about practicality.


The rest I won't comment.

Actually smaller - on paper.

But compared to Vios or city, either one of the two also 500L range. So to price S70 at 90k price point, really good value la.

proton car has always been ok/decent for me.

its just that their after-sales and SC is fucking crap.
7 years of dealing with them is enough for me. Dont want anymore.

If you can give me proton car + perodua aftersales = i will buy straight away..

alas, i buy P2 cause basically no headache for duration of owning the car. Reliable as fuck, maintenance cheaper than P1. SC and after-sales also way better. Bonus: RV confirm tinggi.

driving wise is ok, somewhat nice to drive.
DCT always more fun to drive compared to other transmission, except for manual.
dry DCT even more fun to drive, but not suited for malaysia hot weather & jam.

but u'm not impressed wit S70 plasticky interior.
u giv it som knock, som scratch, can hear a lot of hollow plastic sound.
calling it C class is a bit overstretching.
at close to 100k price point, better top up a bit get better sedan.
however, the executive & premium is worth the buy on that pricepoint.

turbo lag is going to be evident on most small CC cars and tbh i dont mind it during my test drive

you can always downshift ahead of overtaking or merging to minimize it

at this price point, its already a better car than city/vios from A to Z

better nvh, better ride comfort, more features (well one can argue no android auto/apple carplay) and the list goes on

Widespread major issues: gearbox, especially cbu 6 speed auto. Engine mounting Kong within 3 years, some 2 years. Cost RM1700 to replace at sc. For CKD cars absorber issue noisy.

My own car, 4 years old: mounting, rubber seals rotten not under warranty, suspension noise unsolved since 1 year ago complain in and out of sc many times.
Drive la you think buy car like buy tissue paper meh

If the mounting fall under 3 years its a jackpot cz can claim new under warranty. For the price at SC, its kinda acceptable. On old Accord got quoted rm3.8k engine mounting. Rm700 brake pad per pair at SC from Honda

tapao in terms of performance and cabin materials, maybe.

make saga as thin and light as perodua....would u want that? laugh.gif

for me i wouldn't

there is a way around it
make saga as thin and light as perodua....would u want that? laugh.gif

for me i wouldn't
i wouldn't survive an accident driving a perodua despite it's fantastic FC
but the manufacturer and it's hardcore supporters kept insisting it's safe.....my eyes and hand isn't lying to me and i own a myvi myself

For strong car then need SUV but strong/heavy car also mean more FC

Nope, u should think realistically. Get a new engine with better tech which give much better FC. Take the Geely engine of NA engine from their bin abroad to here for base spec model other than X and S series. Last time even P2 offered their engine Sendayan made to P1 but they rejected it.

This. Should be no more national car hero instead better follow Thai automotive industry, look how much bigger volumes they can produce there for abroad market for Thai ade car. Remember proton even need gomen grant for R&D for fee billion ringgit, just a waste cz they can only sell majority at local only, ROI cant meet.

the engine perodua and toyota themselves used also ancient tech
their FC is good is all due to their light body

of course it's best if you can mate perodua engine into proton's body and handling...that's like the perfect car
but perfect car don't exist in this world...sadly laugh.gif
