I'm not sure if CKD or CBU but it's a model that's more than 5 years old. The gearbox costs RM29k and the total cost of replacement plus other parts and labour costs RM33k which is an astronomical figure just for the gearbox alone. Pity the owners if the gearbox malfunctions out of warranty period.

1.3 or 1.5 ?

mt will always rev higher at high speed/highway... no such high rev problem with cvt during my holiday drive...

in fact i tot it was turbo until my friend corrected me... i find the power adequate, handling firm and ride comfortable...

end of the day, up to ts to test drive it...

I assume it is a cbu due to the price u mentioned. Cz dct so far only need the HCA pump replacement after high mileage for few cases.

Its a basic unit, manual, 1.3L. It struggling at climbing hill when reaching my hotel area.

For Alza with CVT, sure the rpm much lower than manual, somemore P2 use 1.5L engine.

For that budget, consider good already for P2 with including safety features

I think other countries' cross come with 2.0 liter engine whereas Malaysia's still 1.8. And the foot brake

I didn't consider the Forrester because overseas they are comparing the 2.5 liter with the Honda 1.5T. Malaysia's only 2.0

2.0NA is gonna EOL, since the upcoming will be CBU from Japan for SEA market

Rumors on 1.8T to reduce the tax, but the price will not from 160k, maybe 180k and above

Just test drive X70 recently and it looks good for its price tag especially the executive variant which is about 100k.

Thinking of getting either X70 executive or Premium. Not sure the premium justify the 13k extra as compared to the executive though.

Have young children and worry the light colour seat might get stained easily.

What do you guys think?

If you have access to home charging, the Neta X is not a bad choice. Or you can get Omoda E5 and Atto 3 at sub rm130k

Apart from the 18" -> 19" rims and adaptive cruise control, do you depend on the additional safety tool?
Blind spot, autonomous braking, lane keep, collision warning

P2 and safety never come together.

P2 = moving coffin.

P2 supplies all the safety tools even for lowest variant for each model (excl old Axia E) to help avoid accidents.

But if really kena, then survival rate in Proton likely higher

those safety feature is useless in Malaysia highway.

cause those feature will not out smart Hilux and lorry on highway, specially PLUS..............

if feel life too long, then go get P2.

if on budget but still value life over face, go get P1.

If it me, don't really needed the autonomous level 2, buy used prefacelift (those with black color below bumper trim), premium variant. Used price looks great

mazda or cross

Peaec of mind, buy Japanese Toyota or Mazda, not Honda.

How to definite it is underpowered? I got a new Alza for wife and I find the power is enough for daily drive, it is capable to drive up to Genting with 5 adults. For family car please do not expect 0-100km/h is as quick as compact car as in similar engine displacement. The CVT will open up high ratio in low speed to help pushing the car, in return you will hear loud screaming sound from the engine.

As mentioned in Indonesia they use 1.3L engine. One I ride is manual. Need really gear 1 and slowly ride some hill in my hotel area last time.

i own honda city 2013. now air cond got issue, sometimes will suddenly not cold, after on off few times, then cold again.... and recently having sound from bottom(i haven't bring to shop check) when pass through speed bump.

i am also looking for car.....

i tested X50, X70, HRV, cross, Alza, omoda 5

X70- i feel some dizzy after test drive, the car is like very heavy... need press more on the Accelerator Pedal.
X50- i can not easy look on the info in meter, block by steering i think
HRV(V spec) - most sastify. good power, smooth drive. but i didn't drive in highway. and i dun like the middle bump at the rear seat.
Cross - eventually the space is smaller than HRV, and like heavy to drive the car move.
omoda 5 - very powerful, and the i not get used on the brake. like no brake when i press. and after the sales demo remote start-up, then audio in the car is being mute, and they dun know how to turn it on until i left the service centre.

PS: cross facelift is arround the corner. heard the battery is change to Lithium.

Atto 3 selling for RM150k no? Can get discount?
