eh Proton got give you money to write or not? U know last time I work in Proton showroom one, their petrol consumption for PErsona sucks, they told us to say "comparable or competitive" with other makes in its class, didnt even want to tell us how many km per liter. But Savvy they give all these details sad.gif

how bad is bad? since u claim it is bad, what is the figure u got and still consider bad?
if u dont provide figure and just say is it 'bad', arent that the same as proton?

uhm...torque of 150 nm...not enough to overtake and full 7 adults...engine sure work hard...

compared to avanza 1.3 k3-ve 116Nm, i think this will do much better nod.gif
anyway, fetched 7 people to genting with avanza, underpower yes but it still able to get the job done nod.gif
and fetching 7 people is never an easy work to do.. anyway, the underpower is based on paultan experience on 'underpower' which is highly subjective as it cant be expressed in term of percentage/figure for comparison.. just like when i said wira 1.5 has good power while some will said it will underpower

between livina and exora, better choose livina. the difference of price oso not very far.
but avanva and exora, better choose exora. difference of price oso not very far.

i know buying Nissan isn't very patriotic (do car buyer thought of this?) and didn't support locar cars but, which one did you want? quality or the importance of malaysia?

if somebody wants to buy this stuff, read as so much as what reviewers said.
because saga last time oso look nice, but some people complained bout serious problem (while some others not). i'm afraid this problem will appear again.

think man, think!
*
do u have any slight idea how cramp grand livina is? its definitely not a comfy people mover

QUOTE(xtremesportx @ Apr 16 2009, 09:31 PM)
70k for this crap??!!
This car shud be priced below 50K! We poor poor Malaysians are forced to pay the hefty taxes which we DONT DESERVE! Civics and X-trails are seeling like AUD20K x 2.5 = RM50K!
*
i lol'ed hard..
go live in australia then whistling.gif
in malaysia, civic cost u 130k, so a big mpv costing rm80k is considered reasonable
still b****ing about the taxes? go become trade ministry and propose zero tax on foreign car then

QUOTE(amduser @ Apr 16 2009, 09:43 PM)
dont compare malaysia with those country, you should compare to some other better country like singapore, australia, and UK etc if malaysia want to have a better future, they always said malaysia is the best and very good, this is because they compare to country that are not even a match to malaysia, how often you will see those government compare themself with singapore?

government want to protect proton, but all the cars from proton are basically overpriced while they still want to increase the tax from other car, which is why you will see many old cars on the road, sometimes the car is too old until it give up one day while running on the road then gone into accident, this is because not many people got that much budget to change car, RM30k++ for a 1.3L saga is overprice, it should be RM20k instead, if RM70k for a exora, i better buy avanza.
*
all car in malaysia are overpriced, but at least the pricing is much much better than that offered by toyota especially the shitty vios and myvi which is definitely super overpriced for what u paid.. if u know what is the pricing they should put in their car, go become proton marketing strategist and push the car to get lower price, like u said, 20k for saga wink.gif
quit b****ing and do ur part, sigh typical malaysian

a civic is worth every cent of the 130k. that big mpv doesn't even worth 69/73k.

why? simple... look at the quality.
*
quality?
130k car suffer from bad nvh?
130k car only sit 5?
130k car for fully ckd car?
130k car got no complaint?

did u even test drove all the said car before giving ur comment? shhsh

QUOTE(amduser @ Apr 17 2009, 12:32 AM)
is it really that big in the first place? unsure.gif

QUOTE(tarttelur @ Apr 17 2009, 12:36 AM)

*

Personally, cause my family own a Avanza, the Exora interior definitely better than the Avanza, and more luxurious than the Avanza. And the car also look more sportier and more stable than a Avanza, sadly cant test drive an Exora yet, bt it should be a very good car. BTW, if I remember correctly, cause I only sit at the 3rd row seat 2 or 3 time like tht, the 3rd row of the Avanza is not only cramp, but hot doh.gif

hi, my house got toyota avanza, proton wira, honda city, honda accord, and perodua rusa tongue.gif
i know very well what avanza can do and for the price we bought last time (60k), it is indeed a good buy.. as time goes by, i feel the avanza is a crap car but still manage to finish its job nice wink.gif

Totally agree with that since i own a turbo car b4. Turbos' are just too much hassle to maintain even for a fine working one just in my sole opinion. I would rather be driving a NA car that gives a peace of mind or maybe i am old already.. cannot tahan the ppssh ppshh sound d haha ... Blown or no blown car u just ask the engineers as that is what they told me. If u read my post previously, i myself even doubted if they are boasting just to not to have their Prestige concept being bashed.
*
no, factory fitted turbo normall are low pressured and was fitted perfectly.. bolt on turbo on the other hand was fixed forcefully and normally BOT user will go for high pressure without upgrading its internal thats y the engine or turbo spoilt..

QUOTE(NiCkY @ Apr 18 2009, 11:38 AM)
LOL... already same and better than V and T? hahahahaha... which V you mean is??? Volks?

u still didnt get my mean... hahahaha... i talk about apple to apple, not money to money...  

i repeat again, proton is no where near japanese car, even korean cars are better than proton...

look out wat happen on kia, they can give a big jump ahead, does proton can? nah...

proton lunch a mpv then every ppl said, wah good improvement, very good, keng, best nya... but wat had other does achieve at the same time?  whistling.gif

once i saw the photo of exora, i was straight laugh.gif  ...

when i saw others japanese or korean new car model, i was  drool.gif
*
1st of all, how do u define near? V as in Vios and T as in Toyota and i never compare money, im comparing the quality..
lets compare the waja cps with vios.. waja has bigger interior, much stable in high speed, greater horsepower/torque, better built (vios is full of plastic), better seat, and better handling..

then we proceed to the complaint section.. how much do u know about number of vios having problem in service centre? what about waja then? do u know what is the common problem between the 2 cars?

then we proceed to ur judgement.. how qualified are u to said they are not near while others said opposite? how much do u know about automotive industry besides the politics in it? how much do u understand the issues rather than from hearsay?

and then u ask what had other achieved? lets compare with toyota in malaysia.. all they do is introducting more variant of vios from cheap to cheaper quality.. besides, proton is juz a small player in the market, how do u expect them to have major changes all in the sudden as in bigger company? from ur statement, i know u r not competent in automotive industry as exora is considered as big leap for proton after saga blm.. the momentum is definitely there, cars lover know that, kid know sheet laugh.gif

face the fact, u r juz one of the dumbest person who justified based on the hearsay or u r fanboi for the japs/koreans.. or u r juz some rich ******* who can afford better car by using dad money, try buying it urself and u will shitbrix.. idk laugh.gif

pss: how many times u repeat just show ur immaturity, stop repeating coz u r disgracing urself laugh.gif

QUOTE(A2Z2U @ Apr 18 2009, 12:12 PM)
proton cars still far behind. If same standard, no need for the protection policy already.

instead of giving general statement like that, push up some facts or u r juz pretty lame flammer laugh.gif

dunno V6, but IIRC perdana 1st gen also have, all must press first before can move it from park to D mah..

this one just flick the gear also can engage to D.. so safety lock want?
*
since it is gated shifter, i dont think it is nescessary to have to press the brake to release from D as u wont be accidently pushed it to engage gear due to the gated scheme.. the ned for P to disengage by pressing brake normally was found in gear level in straight configuration.. correct me if im wrong

nope.. gated is for the in gear engagement.. my previous pug 407 has it, my current swift and zoom zoom and JDM toyota also have the lock


Added on April 19, 2009, 2:32 am

side view looks bulky and out of proportion (makes the koreans look good next to it) ..
luckily I tot the front view not too bad.... engine bay view with red engine cover looks good also..
*
i know but what for do u ned a lock to disengage the p in gated style on gear lever?
u definitely won accidently kick/punch/move it from P to D plus u do less 1 step to move the gear lever from P to other mode..

btw, i dont understand 'gated is for the in gear engagement'

QUOTE(ar188 @ Apr 19 2009, 09:30 AM)
meaning it's for selecting the gears.. like moving between d- 3-2-1 or R..gated.. without looking at the gear selector..

the lock is a safety mechanism lor, when the engine is running and you knock the level from P to R, you will be in trouble if the brakes are not depressed.. could roll backwards into someone or something..
*
actually it doesnt make sense.. the whole lever is under gated scheme.. why is it only D-3-2-1-R consider gated?
and for the safety u r talking about, the only way to reach R is to push left n pull down to reach R.. under what circumstances u will accidently do that?
besides, i personally think it is unnescessary.. even car like toyota wish and nissan murano doesnt have that

toyota wish and murano doesn't have it (the shift button on the knob) because you have to step on the brake pedal before you can shift it from P to D.. duh!

u dont understand.. wish and murano doesnt need to step on the brake to engage gear laugh.gif
go test one and u will know
