mine telling me you are using manual or auto. other than than what is your ratio of driving location e.g. 80% city drive 20% highway drive

i like to know about the FC for 100% city drive. ty

my manual car take about 0.24cent/km on 100% city drive

I'm over 5000km already, no choice, everyday travel 100km just to go and back from work. My first tank was RM0.18/km. Then I run in the car myself, manage to get lowest RM0.138/km but after that remain around 0.14-0.16.

Mine was auto.

30% highway, 20% city and 50% old road (If you know those road from Seremban to Nilai, quite bumpy sometimes, need to break or slow down, hard to maintain constant speed). So far I do not have 100% city FC but the old road can consider old road though (Of course not city like KL that always jam).

which such fc its very good ady , mind telling urs is M line or B lime?

want to ask if the rusty driver shaft is common to all new BLM or it happens to certain user only? Cause I want to get one, but I am concerned when I looked at the pic posted few pages back... any update on that?

Desperate to place a deposit to book one, but after looking at the rusty drive shaft, now I am considering my option again or wait a little bit longer... any advice?

hahhaa....all car's drive shaft also not stainless steel de...so sure will get rusty....normal!

Hi all, future BLM owner reporting here.
I booked my car at PG, back at 20th Jan 2008, Grey color M-line auto. Until now haven get any response from my SA.

I have read most of the posts, and am very concern about the rusty drive shaft . I don't want to become a 'rusty proton owner'. Is this rusty drive shaft normal for every car? Is it safe? Does any manage to get it changed/fixed before the handover?

I thinking to reject/complain when my SA pass me the car if the drive shaft is rusty. Any advise?

i am concern about the rusty drive shaft too..from the pic, it does look very bad.
I need to check my current iswara to see.

bro, no need to think twice.. just place the booking.. i can tell you i had no regret buying this car .. the ride was awesome and power is sufficient or i can say quite good, mine were Silver M-Line Auto.. total mileage not more than 500KM..

It is a M line. Not manage to get 380km because I was rushing just now, so pick up from house to bank, stop the car/off engine, go down do some transferring then get back, rush to theater for movie, 2 bars drop quite a lot, I think maybe around 350-360km I can get with RM50, which is quite usual figure.

ooooo......watch what movie??...iron man??...hahaha!

wah already got car I book mine around end of Jan, I call my sa he keep give excuses, saying his bos is at Thailand lah.

<Quote>hahhaa....all car's drive shaft also not stainless steel de...so sure will get rusty....normal! </Quote>

Sure bo? All car means not only BLM but Benz, BMW and etc? =P

If you are right in this case, I will just go and put my deposit this weekend. Btw, any discount/promotion or gift which I can ask aside from voucher for tinting and RM 50 petrol (not sure this one got or not at the sales centre near my house). Tinting voucher is worth RM 200 or RM 300 ar?

Wah... That is very good FC for me.
I am driving an 8 years old Iswara now. If i 'push' (drive carefully and slowly without rushing) , I manage to at most 300km for RM50. This is the maximum to my car now...
Hopefully my BLM will be smooth, and good FC as yours...
Still waiting for my SA

mine was mline manual grey..already 3400km. all i can say is, im in love wit my car even more each day! really worth it.

hi blueeyes,

Actually i'm facing this problem with my BLM very long time already....So annoyed with all these sounds inside my car....

1) whenever i go on some bumpy road....my front passenger door area there will have some metal knocking sound....there are times when even if i pick-up or step hard on my paddle for that extra power also, it'll have this metal knocking or rattling sound around that area....
I have already bring to SC to rectify this problem already, but it doesn't seems to seems to rectify my problem...they put "sepit" some newspaper inside my door trim and also put some sponge around that area....at first it helps...but after a while, the sounds came back again.."

2)I could hear some funny sounds when I step on my brake. It is something like pump sound. I tried to tell the SC but they just simply try pressing the brake and say it's the brake pump sound. Pardon me if i'm wrong, but it does not make sense when you press your brake, you can hear the brake pump sound inside your car. I tried telling the technician who went for the test drive with me that time after he put in the sponge to solve my front passenger door area rattling sound. I ask him to hear the "pump" sound when I step on the brake, he is also suprised as the sound is very loud. Everytime when I step and release the brake, sure got this sound. This is really irratating me. Even my old 10 year old car doesn't have all these irratating sound. Can't proton do better??? Mine is a new car, and with all these sounds here and there.....it is worst than my 10 year old proton satria.

One more thing, when I bring to SC to check the rattling sound for the front passenger area there....after some checking, we found out that when we try knocking on the fender, the sound is the same as the rattling sound or metal knocking sound inside my car. They suspect is the fender, so they try taking out the fender, during the process, guess wad we found out??

One of the screw that ties the fender to the car body, the first one from the headlight, "patah" already. Stupid Proton just use those glue to glue it back. I'll try to draw out how it looks. I was so f**king stunned that time. Is this what we get for RM40k??

CURSE PROTON!!!!!

Well, it's Proton anyway. After 23 years in the car industry, still cannot improve. How much time and our money wasted there?? With the same group/type of ppl working inside there how to improve??!
This is sufficient to prove that Proton will be like this FOREVER! The so called "special rights" and "protected" group.

Proton actually did change. From the above testimonial, you all can see that Proton's QC is actually going downwards.

Sometime, cheap doesn;t mean it's good.
