But where the test drive is concerned, with all those fuel wasting hard accelerations coupled with highway cruising, the car still managed to deliver almost 540km with still a quarter tank of fuel left in its 60 litre tank. That’s like almost 12km to a litre and we believe that if driven properly, the Waja CPS could deliver more than 600km.
I totally agree on this part, even with AT car also can arhieve this

The auto head lamp leveling feature was interesting as it allows the driver to adjust the headlamp beam height so not to blind the oncoming traffic. This is a must in any vehicles fitted with xenon or HID lights. The headlamps are fantastic - casting its beam far and wide and one of the brightest we have ever seen and certainly the best at this price level.
Auto leveling? Should be a manual adjusting, right? Why he said auto?

Proton has gone a long way in treating the WAJA CPS with improved damping and NVH levels to provide a comfortable ride. Interior noise was acceptable with minimal engine noise intrusion in the cabin.
Improved NVH? Can someone comment on this part?

I never drove any waja campro, except old waja mitsu. From my xp, feels like no difference

There is just one complaint that we found about the CPS engine. It runs as how you’d expect a modern 1.6 liter engine would run, but the engine sometimes loses power in what seems to be random occurances at first but in the end we decided that the power to the wheels dropped very noticably, far, far more than a typical car whenever the aircond compressor kicks in. I am not sure what kind of air conditoning all these Campro-equipped car uses, or perhaps it is a wiring issue, or an interior compressor, but we noticed this on all Campro/Campro IAFM and Campro CPS cars that we have driven.
Somehow, I agree about aircond compressor kick in. Care to comment, other CPS owner?

Not the CPS - it took off effortlessly from fourth gear. The CPS was definitely a joy to drive with better acceleration on the third, fourth and fifth gear within the 2,500 - 4,500 rpm engine speed range. No sluggish drive plus easy hill climbs. This show that engineers at proton have done a tremendous job in improving the engine.
Not sure about this, coz I drive an AT car.

But, the car has power in every range of speed.

The other interesting fact that I noticed was the cruising engine rpm at cruising speeds. The CPS allows the engine to cruise at 2,000rpm at speeds of 80km/h and approximately 3,000rpm at 110km/h. This is similar to the cruising speeds of most 2.0 litre cars with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed auto transmission. 1.6 engines without a variable timing or intake systems tend to cruise around 2700rpm at 80km/h. Low engine speeds are beneficial because it allows for improvement in fuel economy and comfort.
My car cruise 110km/h at 2900rpm. So, it means the engine is good
