agree.........
I tested 2 cars on the same day, Exora, Avanza 1.5 since both show room is just side by side. Huge difference on the pick up. AS i said b4, Exora pick up terrible, climb hill terrible, overtake terrible. Avanza alot better. But in terms of comfort, Exora better. In terms of high speed >60km/h, Exora better.
If most of the time using it for city driving, I'll b very geram if I'm driving Exora.

Yup, the torque or pickup is the main point where much potential buyers backed out. Either they retune the engine or give it a higher displacement to compensate it. It is really a good car and i hope proton dun just let it to waste because of the pickup ..

sat avanza 1.5 to genting with 5 adults (2 fat fella)..right after awana..my friend that drove, abit lack of pickup to go..so down shift 2nd gear...till the temple slope, have to downshift to L in order to move... engine revving hard but cant really go...whereby my another friends overtook us with his optra 1.8 and city smoothly...so come to think of proton's mpv and since most of u guys mentioned its underpowered...well..genting should be abit hard task to climb up..can climb but slow like tortoise.... ....

like lorry?

better than lorry ..cuz more comfortable haha ... alrite guys, i have emailed Proton i-care about this underpowered pickup issue. Hope they would respond to me ..

I remember something I heard from a car salesmen when I still a child (20 years ago) about common question when people buy a car.

Malay: how's the FC?
Chinese: can go up Genting or not?
Indian: how many people can fit inside?

Guess it still the same today.

p/s: sorry if someone feel offended if this is deemed racist.

I think this question will fit everyone's mind regardless of race

Power window ok tidak?

i to the power window not solved in newer proton ma ? haha ...

My parents are thinking of getting this car to replace the Myvi. Oh god I love manual but they wanted to change it to auto.

The good news is though, me and my friends like to travel and the Myvi can be quite frustrating with a load of luggage and 5 people inside. This might be my new party vehicle. i just got rid of my P so I think I'm gonna look for a test drive.

yeah..got dvd player mah...can watch movie...

so... from this experience, even avanza is a bit lembab naik genting, so you can imagine how the effect to exora..

that day i go SC....my place cannot test drive yet
but that day..it's the SA itself testing the car...i think they want to understand before sell
5 SA in the car...when the get inside the car...the door closing sound is nice..mean have soundproof....
when they start the car......quiet as well...at least more quiet than my saga...also indicate have soundproof
when they start driving...yeah, the pickup abit suck but much better than my saga already...not so slow
as i go knock it before they drive...quite solid...quite stable.
but the car is smaller than i thought it is...smaller than i looked at the pictures
didn't have a chance on getting in the car...so cannot comment on the interior, comfort and the handling
but the SA just drive the car like crazy....press hard2 and fast thn suddenly stopped the car

bro, just my opinion, pls dun buy it fisrt, wait until review from the owner and when proton make 1.8 above cc..

That is the 'proper' way to do a test drive.

For me, I bought car that suits my needs, not one that suit other people needs. Just my 2 cent.

ya....press so hard ..can hear the vrooom so hard
when travel fast also suddenly they brake...lol
the rear drum brake sure is huge from my opinion
but it's quite wide inside....can sit comfortably

erm. proton's CEO mentioned in the launch that they have "fixed" that issue.

I heard that. Let's hope its now history rather than a reality again.

hehe.. yeah..that's the proper way to test drive a car. it remember me when I went to Perodua showroom at Pontian (my hometown), I booked a testdrive with Myvi with my friends. So we did the testdrive one by one (3 of us) my friend is the first to drive but maybe he never had a testdrive b4,he drive the car slowly (mybe bcoz of it is a new car and perodua property). but then suddenly, the SA who follow us up told my friend to raise the speed. he said " tekanla kuat sikit, barulah testdrive namanya..". huhu I feel a bit embarassing but never mind because the SA is very friendly. Then when my turn, I hardly pressed the pedal to the metal, and suddenly i hit the brake to test the ABS, bcoz b4 it I ask to the SA is it the car has ABS or not and the SA told us it has. Haha..then after testdrive,perodua gave us a FREE GIFT! so lucky even I juz got a towel and both my friend got discount coupon if they wanna buy a Myvi.

even motoring journourlist takes the car to the next level for review... hence they can tell you the top speed etc and combined driving economy.

Test driving is the only chance to bring the whole car to it's maximum limit. Then when bought new one edi, have to sayang it. haha

Just to add:

Bayi: Berapa lama boleh tahan?
