I think by end of this year if not next year.

They upgrade their Campro Engine.

why u guys like diesel? petrol price nearly the same only now, between diesel and ron95. not much savings also right?

and for the cvt and turbocore, i'm hoping the turbocore will make it more powerful, hence indirectly you wont punch on the fuel pedal so much and save some petrol, and with cvt, same alittle more, e.g. 4%.

actually i have heard many but reserved my comments as i have never tested one before. but i just came back from SC to check on my Persona's engine rear mounting. And boy, i never heard a owner soo damn f***ing disappointed with his brand new one month old (2,000km) Exora basic line manual.

He told me that he regret soo much that he bought this shit after learning that his exora could not go uphill (shopping mall car park ramp) with the car fully loaded with ppl. It was just impossible and he had to ask all his passengers to exit the car and then he could drive it up. He needed to floor the pedal to the metal to go up. And he also said that driving along hilly roads was a big challenge when fully loaded too. And now, the car is parked at the SC to solve a engine check light issue.

Note: this is what i heard just now.... i am not bashing the car in anyway but IMHO / in fact i quite like exora's design. its interior design is really perfect / fantastic. The exterior is nice too except that the front bumper should hv it redesigned a little so that it does not look too boxy. And lastly, should have bigger engine (1.8 / 2.0).

Proton biggest problem is they lacked a new and more powerful engine....Campro is really long in the tooth ....which is why the only option left is to turborize the CAMPRO........building a new engine is too costly (and maybe they lacked the skills....CAMPRO was actually derived from Lotus).....sometimes, i feel they should just license an engine from elsewhere (but of course, need to nego for very good deal and support from the manufacturer...). Alternatively, just build a JV to invest or develop an engine with other car manufacturers....

Crappy GPS software....i complained to Proton why you force Proton's customer buy overpriced junk. Your boss must be big crony with UMNO man....

Luckily, the hardware is still good and i can hack it with Garmin, Papago One and other software.

Fuiyo...that's bad....One Utama parking ramp entrance in New Wing going up to the higher levels??? hehe. Yeah, i was contemplating to buy Exora as one of the options early this year, but in the end , chose Inspira. Exora interior is really nice. Exterior also good....If Exora can have the Inspira 2.0cc Mivec engine inside...becomes the perfect Exora!!! Exora is 1.4 tonne rite? Inspira is almost 1.3 tonnes i think.

Sounds like...city drive sucks more fuel, highway drive will have better FC.

does anybody have the specifications and pricing to the new exora bold, prime, etc?
what's the difference and pricing and availibility?
cheers!

the difference in driving feeling is apparent in the low rpm,felt much better during city driving....i'm not use to cvt,it's just personal preference....anyway,for me it's a value for money mpv...

erm,if i not mistaken,for cvt vt3,during sat on,it has 7 speed simulation :-). While as for flx,used cvt vt2,during sat on, it has 6 speed simulation.
