My blog has been getting a lot of search from the search engines on Proton Exora. Most of them are questions asking about Exora’s performance.
- Are there any problem with the new Proton Exora
- Proton MPV underpower
- Problem with Exora MPV pick up
- etc … etc …
I am not an engineer, so it is difficult for me to explain from an engineer’s point of view. I can only be near the engine
, but still … I have no idea how to explain Proton Exora’s performance as a whole. I don’t own one either. The best thing I can do is ask someone who owns one. Maybe he can help to explain his experienced with the MPV in a layman’s term. Since I know a person (and also a blogger) who recently purchased one. I asked him a few questions and maybe the answers will help you to decide further whether to get a Proton Exora or not.
Zaki, how long have you been the proud owner of a Proton Exora?
Since end of May 2009.
How often do you use Exora? Daily to work, or only during the weekends when travelling with the whole family?
On daily basis. To work and to anywhere.
What’s the current mileage?
Nearly 20,000KM
Any problems with Exora so far?
When Exora reaches 7000 – 8000 KM, standby for the air cond to be not cold. This is due to the thermostat which is not following the correct specification, but if you buy Exora now, that problem I presumed have been settled by Proton. This problem only applies for the earliest batch of Exora.
How’s the performance in terms of handling and pick up? For someone who used to drive a more powerful car will always say the Exora is under power, but since you drive a Waja, how is Exora’s performance?
In terms of pickup, for an auto … I consider it is good. It is better than my mother’s Proton Wira Auto. That’s what I fell. This MPV is not for those who wants speed, or to race. It’s a comfortable family MPV. Acceleration is good for a 1.6 MPV. I have no complains. I can accelerate to overtake other cars when needed. Again, if you want speed and power, this is not the car for you. Get yourself a Mitsubishi EVO or maybe the cheaper Pesona. I’m saying this because I’m a family man and speed is not what I’m searching for.
How about Exora’s fuel consumption?
I have recorded and analyzed my Exora’s performance. After 6 refills, early analysis indicates that for city driving, for 1 litre of petrol, it can go about 10 KM. A full tank ranges between RM85 – RM89. A full tank can go from 405 KM to 420 KM. For long distance drive, it can go up to 530 KM for a full tank (with 6 people in Exora). Recorded on June 5, 2009, when driving from Johor Bahru to Trengganu. Hope the info helps.
There you go. An experience with Proton Exora after 7 months. If you have more question, you can directly ask the proud owner of a white Proton Exora, here.
p/s
If you are divided between Exora and Alza, here’s what you can do. If you prefer to get a bigger Myvi, get Perodua ALZA but if you want an MPV, get Proton Exora. The rule only applies for those who plan to get a national car and money is a factor. If you don’t like national cars and you have lots of money to throw away, don’t get either. You are better of with other manufacturers.

normally ppl want the cheapest with the best spec in all areas. that’s the problem..
i’ve heard ppl comparing alza with wish, exora with grandis.. haiyyoo
mesticun · December 24, 2009 @ 11:42 AM
Masalah apa ni.pasal katakunci rupanya.
abang cyza · December 27, 2009 @ 10:27 AM
First time i see Alza, aiyoo very small….
I think people cannot compare exora and alza…
both are totally in different segment
abrablog · December 28, 2009 @ 2:18 AM
exora besar sket. alza kecik. Bagus gak ada orang senarai list camni..
azwan · January 2, 2010 @ 12:19 AM
@Budeen
Not even the same, how to compare? why not compare directly to alphard?
@Mesticun
Katak kunci utk menaikkan traffic blog. Apa pun boleh
azwan · January 2, 2010 @ 12:24 AM
@abang cyza
you are right, but people just cant stop comparing proton with perdoua. maybe it’s because both are made in malaysia.
@abrablog
azla tu kecik sgt actually. orang Malaysia ni, dah semakin besar saiznya.
Manbai · January 4, 2010 @ 10:18 AM
Exora (E) – a real MPV
Alza (A) – an enlarged Myvi
Citra (C) – a mini MPV
Comparison (lowest to highest)
Price – A, E, C
Performance – A, E, C
Petrol – A, E, C
Protection – A, E, C
azwan · January 4, 2010 @ 12:07 PM
@Manbai
I do agree with you with some of your comparison, but cud you give some facts to support it.
ie
Price – The basic Exora beats Alza hands down
Performance – What are you comparing? Citra 2.0 against Alza 1.5?
What about comfort? – Perodua is never comfortable to drive or even as a passenger, especially for a long journey. If you height is less than 1.6 meter and weigh .. maybe about 60KG, then it is comfortable in a Perodua.
However, we shouldn’t even compare Alza here. Not in the same class. Exora and Citra maybe, but not Alza.
mani · March 6, 2010 @ 9:32 PM
Hi, i just bought an exora, 3 weeks back, well its really comfortable, since i have a fly of 5 including me, guess its a good buy, well fuel guess not that bad as i was told citra consumes more. overall its fine.
azwan · March 17, 2010 @ 10:33 PM
@mani
I own a Citra. and yes it consumes more petrol
aDi · April 25, 2010 @ 7:49 PM
Got plan to purchase Proton Exora. I’m really in love with Exora design both interior & exterior.
But I heard there is still some problem with Exora, such as:
(1) Under power/ No pick-up
(2) Weird sound from Absorber
(3) Also weird sound from front wiper
Just wondering, is this true?
azwan · April 25, 2010 @ 10:03 PM
I don’t own one
However, there’s a link in this post to a person who does. Why not you ask him directly.
shahrul · May 13, 2010 @ 11:45 PM
the aircond cutting off ay 7-8k is not thermostat problem. MOst new cars with VVT/VVTi will cut off the air cond at certain rpm to provide more power to the engine.
meng · May 19, 2010 @ 10:34 PM
After driving a manual exora half a year, fuel comsumption rm50 for 180km for town driving or rm50 for 300km for highway.
Nicholas · July 20, 2010 @ 12:45 AM
rm50 for 180km… kind of little i feel, that is only 6.48km per liter…
Burn · August 13, 2010 @ 7:59 PM
How about genting performance is it ok with 7 people Is the car went well
rajasiang · August 22, 2010 @ 12:51 AM
I got my Expra on 11 May 2010 and send it to Proton Edar at Kesas Highway(COSE) for 1st service(840KM) on 19th May and after few days when it rain I found out wiper rubber is spoil and took it back to COSE and was replace (under warranty).
On 9th July I send my Exora to COSE for 2nd service(6,143KM)and afer two weeks when it rain I found out my wiper rubber again spoil and took it back to COSE and this time they said it’s not under warranty and I brought the new silicone wiper at Carrefour promotion.
Proton advertisement stated 5 years or 175,00KM warranty, I wonder with so low quality wiper within 3 months two failure how are we going to claim warranty?
yusri · December 19, 2010 @ 8:19 AM
Aiyoo… U pergi toyota sc pun sama la. All rubber is wear & tear. Vios ku 2 thn v belt dah retak… Kene bayar, warranty x cover. Pakai silikom wiper puas hati, x perlu angkat wiper masa parking, wipe pun cantik bertahun2..
dinbank · December 25, 2010 @ 4:28 PM
baru cdg nak beli exora 5 years warranty cover apa?
mohdsyahmi · February 17, 2011 @ 5:49 PM
I bought exora a month ago…To improve its pick up performances, I decided to install surbo, voltage regulator and ignition booster to it. So far I am very impressed with its new performances. Definitely feels more power during pick up and acceleration..Better try …no regret..cost abt Rm 500
azwan · February 18, 2011 @ 11:07 PM
MohdSyahmi
What about fuel consumption. With more power, is the fuel consumption higher? Details please.
mohdsyahmi · February 21, 2011 @ 9:32 AM
Before I install those items:
Distance from work place : 16 km
so 2 way trip: 32 km;
Road : mixed town(bnyk traffic light woo) and kampung roads
Fuel: 4 bar for 5 days
After installation:3 bar for 5 days.
Belum try kat highway lagi..nanti update
Dr Ceria · February 23, 2011 @ 5:35 PM
i owned a new batch Exora since a week ago. I’ve been very impressed with it’s handling and minimal body roll! It’s like driving a sedan but with spacious cabin. The engine applies the latest adaptive technology. The ICE is decent and the technology touch-up is in line with current motoring’s.
Fun, roomy and comfortable!
Keong · March 11, 2011 @ 11:06 PM
where u install surbo, voltage regulator and ignition booster…any recomentation?
vivian · March 16, 2011 @ 3:59 PM
By installing surbo, voltage regelator and ignition booster.. will this affect the warranty??
mohdsyahmi · March 21, 2011 @ 12:52 PM
those surbos, voltage regulator and ignition booster are only plug and play..for surbo u can go to http://www.pecut1.com. Others i bought them form http://www.mudah.my. U can only take it off anytime u want especially if yr engine got in some trouble, which i hardly think so. Also i change to simota air filter…the engine noise is reduce very much and my exora feels lighter ..Surbo is quite expensive rm 140 per unit (i Think , udah lupa_) …at mudah .com u jumpa banyak lagi jenis air cyclone product yg murah..
mohdsyahmi · March 21, 2011 @ 1:00 PM
For surbo, i bought 2 unit,, the technician install it at intake hose just after air filter compartment..but i modified a little bit..fixed one unit in front of throtle body intake. ..u can also add F1 z trubo fan if u want…i’m planning to do so
mohdsyahmi · March 21, 2011 @ 5:25 PM
Actually customed turbo kit for campro cps already available at xenon motorsport. Price around RM5999. U can check it out at http://www.mudah.my. What i heard the performances are great..something to do with cps integrated with the turbo. I am not mechanical engineer competent person..so better contact those guys for more info…planning to do so when my warranty period already expired
Chan · April 14, 2011 @ 5:23 PM
Guys,
I own the Exora for about 6 months now. It has been in and out of the workshop ever since I first got the car!! It has done 18000km todate :: Changed ignition coil cause car jerking + Air Cond not cold (Changed thermostat)+ Rattling noise + Under Carriage noise (Still trying to solve the matter with Proton Service Center) + Suspension knocking sound (Still triying to solve the problem) + Very very high fuel consumption (14.8 – 15.4 l/100km!!)- I only managed 300 – 320km per full tank in city driving with very gentle on the accelerator. Been trying to reason with the service centers but they all giving same answer : “Kereta no problem boss. Sudah check computer. Boss try lagi.” Sure, I have been “Try Lagi” for the past 17000 ++ km!!!
Guys, pls advise what should I do?
bujang3 · April 17, 2011 @ 12:15 PM
@mohdsyahmi
aku ada dengar gak pasal surbo nie.. ada beberapa org member aku dah pakai… memang depa rekomen abis… tapi nak gak dengar dari org lain… kalu ikut citer ko tu… exora pun boleh pakai… yer ker… harga dia kat sini RM120-00 jer !!!
bujang3 · April 17, 2011 @ 11:34 PM
tadi aku try test masa amik anak aku balik dari asrama… jalan Ipoh-Kg Gajah…. 140 km/j, tapi tak tekan abis ler… yg aku perasan… bila kita ganas sikit.. dia punya pick-up terasa la jugak… tapi kejap jer aku test, pasal baru 2 bulan.. takut gak.. kang ada pulak yang tertanggal… naya !!!!
bujang3 · April 17, 2011 @ 11:39 PM
pasal fuel consumption.. hari tu aku buat perjalanan cuti sekolah.. dari Ipoh-Melaka-Ipoh plus ronda sana sini.. keseluruhan prjlnn lebih kurang 1,016km, consume RM163.00 on petrol… entah ler.. korang kira la sendiri, ok ker tidak !!!!
mohdsyahmihashim · April 18, 2011 @ 12:01 PM
@bujang
I recommended the use of surbo..but u have to be little creative where to intsll the unit
Chan cut and paste · April 19, 2011 @ 6:09 PM
chan.. why go workshop? go Sc la ..
I own exora first batch.. your problems are first batch Exora problem..may be u got old stock.
under carriage noise is due to eksoz mounting- ask sc to put washer and tighten eksoz mounting. suspension knocking is due to wrong absober damper spec..ask Sc to change.. hi fuel consumption after first major service it will become better.. check your driving style or go buy the car you are selling right now..
JOIN Exora owners club to get a print out of all complains during the first batch.bring that to COSE to rectify one by one if u want to..
Chan · April 25, 2011 @ 5:22 PM
Thanks for the advise bro. Anyway, I am selling off the Exora. Zero Confident with the product. Just dont feel right driving it.
khomeini · May 6, 2011 @ 11:44 AM
aku baru x sampai sebulan pakai exora mline auto rm71k tu je yg mampu.minggu lepas waktu drive ada macam bunyi tikus kat dlm dashboard.minggu ni dah x brp bunyi sebab aku lebih byk naik motor gi keje!!kalau aku kaya aku tak beli kete malaysia.lepas ni bila aku drive lg harap2 tikus dlm dashboard sebelah kanan tu dah mati dan x bunyi lagi.
komen keseluruhan aku:kereta yg selesa utk sekeluarga,terutama time nak jalan jauh..
khomeini · May 6, 2011 @ 12:00 PM
lagi satu,kete ni bukan underpower,tapi power dia memang selayaknya begitu sbb cc cuma 1.6 nak tarik body seberat 1400kg lebih.dan transmission dia ada 4speed auto,so tukarlah gear ketika perlu.gear2 tersebut memang dicipta utk digunakan,bukan saja2 org cipta.aku naik bukit terowong hiway ipoh guna gear3 duk lorong paling kanan!(rpm jauh lagi ke merah)4dewasa 2 kanak2.knp kete2 yg lebih power duk terhegeh2 lane1 dan lane2 tu?bagi aku..mereka belum abis belajar gunakan gear.sekian timakasih.
pat · May 10, 2011 @ 10:41 PM
Bought new exora – 3 weeks now. OK, except the manual clutch needs hercules to change gear. As usual – the service centre gave me the same usual ok crap. My mechanic dismantled the gear cable and change a new one – f the warranty – the od one was installed off and kinked.
Now ok – proton still have problem with Quality control. Looks like it is difficult to chnage the mindset and their after sales service still sucks.
pat · May 14, 2011 @ 10:59 PM
Quite happy with the exora – 3 weeks already, properly runned in now after 3000KM. Today really teased the car – if you use proper gear change – after the sluggish first gear, the car handles well. Wish proton will change the gear ratio of the first two gears. Petrol consumtion is good, 7.2l/100 km on the highway and 8.8 on town driving.
pat · May 23, 2011 @ 9:11 PM
So far so good. After 5000KM service, the car finally comes to power.
Of concern though is the fuel tubes that proton uses – plastic, under the carriage mind you. IT IS a safety issue, with stones and pot holes on our roads. It is a matter of time before they do a recall to change to metal tubes. I just hope it done happens to mine.
I will probably change them soon or faricate a metal cover somehow. Maybe there will be an after market for some smart alec. ( I will demand royalty…)
poklie · May 31, 2011 @ 5:18 PM
askm.. gue dah pakai 10 bln (HL-A)- setakat ni tiada masalah, memangla kalu nak panjat bukit rasa berat sikit sebab ianya 1.6 tak boleh la banding dgn 2.0 ke atas. Selesanya best- dulu gue pakai t avanza -6 th, terpaksa tukar. Dalaman mmg ade class – selalu kl – kb balik kg, amat selesa dan tak penat
sham · June 12, 2011 @ 11:46 AM
Saya baru pakai 1 minggu. Okay setakat ni.. Minyak RM100 milleage dapat dalam 580km.. Tak servis yang pertama pun lagi sebab tak sampai lagi 1000km. Saya guna 2 kereta, biasa pakai kelisa je sebab senang nak parking dan minyak sangat save.
Salvin · June 30, 2011 @ 11:23 AM
Guys would like your advise. do we change the black oil of Exora every 5,000Km or 10,000Km? and which is the black oil to use?
Salvin · June 30, 2011 @ 11:36 AM
Saya pakai Exora saya ke kerja, dlm seminggu minyak RM60 boleh pi 270Km-300Km.dah banyak kali keluar masuk servise center, tukar Suspension belakang, head lamp masuk air, tukar break pam, bunyi tikus pun ada tapi sudah ok. semalam baru adjust suspension depan dah longar dam mcm2 lagi la. tapi puas hati dengan staff kat service center peramah dan keinginan utk menolong.
pat · July 15, 2011 @ 9:17 AM
Best to tukar minyak every 5000KM. Kalau kereta baru, pakai semi synthetic…after 5 years pakai normal oil.
pat · July 15, 2011 @ 9:21 AM
Salvin, just return the car to proton and demand a full refund. It works wonders….always. They will give you a lot of crap excuse that car already registered, etc, cannot do that. I always countered that nobody asked them to register a crap car. One other car maker (not proton) had a run in with me, wanted to sent an engineer from KL to try to solve a door that they refused to change. I told them the engineer better be a good bull shitter or else he will be torned to bits and sued as a professional misconduct because I am a quality control engineer myself…the door replacement came very fast.
Salvin · July 18, 2011 @ 11:23 AM
kalau pakai semi synthetic yang mana bagus, 10 30w / 10 40w / 15 50w.. please Recommend….
urang Sabah · July 18, 2011 @ 9:35 PM
saye da pakaie exzora yang ramai buli naik ni, tapi sa hairan kanapa begini kuat ini kereta naik bukit, kalah 4wheel macam vigo, d-max begitu jauh exzora tinggalkan di depan. Apa yang membanggakan exzora memang patut jalan selaju Navara, atau tidak macam “motorsikal kriss: syabas proton, kalau bukan keadaan ekonomi yang merundum di Sabah; kemarin lagi saya beli Avanza buka exzora mengarut ni”
Renu · July 19, 2011 @ 9:18 PM
I used my exzora almost going to 2yrs but my aircond and fan not yet ok.I already send to service center 3times but no good result.I very dispointment with proton because they wasting my time.Every time i sent the car need to keep there 2days or 3days.Half way i need to stop my work.Pls give me some advice.TQ
pat · July 19, 2011 @ 9:23 PM
15/50W should be best. The low end 15 not really needed unless you drive around in KL and jam banyak. The 50W useful when you drive non stop from KL to Penang. Hope you get the idea.
pat · August 7, 2011 @ 9:39 PM
Renu – forget the warranty and get your car to an odinary air con mechanic. I had the same problem with the gear clutch (manual). Proton service gave me crap, but my freindly mechanic fixed it in 5 mins at no charge.
alzahri · August 17, 2011 @ 10:18 PM
I bought exora about 3 months ago..everythings are good except the fan only..it sound so noisy..my friends always make a joke by saying that the fan sound like factory exhaust fan…haha. Why it sound like that? Not like other mpv? Is there any other way to solve this noisy sound?
alzahri · August 18, 2011 @ 9:24 PM
I love my exora, but the problem is why the cooling fan for air condition sound so noisy if compared to other mpv? My friend make a joke out of it by saying that the fan sound like factory exhaust fan..haha. Is there any other way to reduce the noisy sound???
Insan · August 20, 2011 @ 2:38 AM
1′ve bought exora manual for 1 year. Yes, 1 got problems with air cond termostat after 7 months. Got fixed and ok till now. So, 1 search other MPV below RM100k for any same maintenance problem. It’s pretty good to know every other MPV. Grand Livina? Naza Citra? Perodua Alza? Chery Easter? Toyota Avanza? Every single of them got problem that we don’t want to hear. Let me list some of them ( I got from website and friends who drive the MPV) . Grand Livina – 3rd seater air cond hot air, Chery Easter – stalled though pedal has been fully pressed down, Naza Citra – radiator water fully dispersed, hot air cond 3rd seater, Perodua Alza – seating problem for big size person, Toyota Avanza – balancing while driving a corner due higher from ground – few case of overturn, Proton Exora – air cond termostat, underpower ? – plse refer to proton techncian coz the gear ratio is upgraded to 1.8 cc. So, I think all MPV below RM100k has its own problem. Same goes to other MPV such as Wish, Serena, Grandis, Estima and others. The most important aspect, it is up to us. Never simply condemn. Automotive won’t be able to provide us perfect mechanical or electrical parts. Even the aircraft airframe that undergo NDT (Non Destructive Testing) for the whole body after certain hours of flying still involved in unexpected disaster (watch Crash Investigation or Seconds From Disaster). Well, just points to ponder, no heart feeling. At least, most of us afford to buy vehicle compare to those having enough for daily spending only. The best part in this portal is we share our experience so that in future it would provide better maintenance for our national car. Remember, proton has been in service for almost 26 years and the output is there. Other manufacturers ahead from us and some of us were yet to be born – Toyota, Honda, Mistsubishi, Volvo, Peugeot, Mercedes and lots out there, BUT still having almost the same maintenance problem. Tepuk Dada Tanya Selera.
Salvin · August 22, 2011 @ 2:57 PM
hari tu saya service exora saya dia pakai Syntium 800 10/30W. bila saya tanya SC cakap konon dah tukar. Ada bunyi dari tayar kiri bila pusing bila pi SC x de pulak bunyi tu. Ada sesiapa yg pernah alami masalah yg sama.

saya pakai Exora HL A, br 3 bln pakai.. la ni air cond tetibe jd sejuk semacam, siap kuar asap2 n kekdg ade kuar air.. n kekdg kuar asap je tp x sejuk.. ada member suggest terus gi ke shah alam (partco klu x silap nama SC utk proton) utk tukar spare part utk air cond.. mintak pendapat korg semua mcm mane pulak???
SJ · September 30, 2011 @ 2:05 PM
Muzafar,
Tau tak jenama apa system ABS dalam Exora? Kalau masalah electronik, saya boleh cuba selesaikan. sms saya SJ 017-2721609.
mohdsyahmi · October 4, 2011 @ 9:22 AM
update regarding surbo…it is usefull at low rpm (3000rpm and abt 110km/h)..but due to restricted airflow..it is not recommended for rpm or speed higher then that..awesome for town driving but not for high speed highway driving
Insan · October 18, 2011 @ 1:30 AM
Dear dyah.. air cond problem still exist actually. New exora pun masih unable to get way to resolve it. Just pegi any proton service ang get the thermostat to be change. Request for full check on the aircond flow and aircond module also. Make sure dia sejuk. Under waranty. Pas tu, it should be ok. Normally, during 7k to 8k of driving distance. Same goes to mine. Sekarang dah 28k on driving distance. No problem on aircond anymore. Happy driving.
dyah · October 18, 2011 @ 6:54 PM
Insan – dah pun tukar thermostat.. happy dah.. cume brek.. ada bunyi2 laa skrng ni bile tekan brek.. normal ke tu??
rosli · November 18, 2011 @ 5:36 PM
baru cadang2 nak beli.macam2 cerita baik dan buruk….kena tawakal aja
zaileeen · November 26, 2011 @ 6:12 PM
dyah, sama problm dgn aku… air cond & brake bunyi.
Insan · December 1, 2011 @ 2:59 AM
Dear dyah & zaileen – for brake cases, normally ada 3 reasons. Ini I dapat dari service coordinator of proton kat alor star and same goes to senawang. 1st reason – check alignment and balancing, 2nd – mungkin brake disk kotor which required pembersihan, 3rd reason – it is time to service the brake. Other manufacturer pun selalunyer hadapi masalah yang sama pasal brake. For example, my friend who use Wish, and my cousin who use Stream.
adersajerr · December 16, 2011 @ 10:40 AM
For me, if you can afford imported cars and can pay more than RM800 per month.. go ahead.. it’s your money.. if your budget for monthly around 700 or below, you have no choice.. only Proton and Perodua is for you.. get it?..
Be greatfull that we can still buy car as lowest price like Viva.. If these two companies not here, we won’t have the chance to buy a brand new car..
zachary · January 2, 2012 @ 12:39 AM
“If these two companies not here, we won’t have the chance to buy a brand new car..”
BULLSH1T! If these two companies not here, we woould have the chance to buy a CHEAPER imported cars!
scorpionn · January 3, 2012 @ 5:31 PM
Hello…i think is too soon to comment on the exora becuase it’s just been lounch about 3 years…first…baru suma ok laaa..wait after 5 year…all the gadget…jd hiasan…x boleh pakai..this what happent to all national car but europe and japan car…walaupun buruk…all the gadget is still working..that thing Peroton have to take note…adioss
KHAIRUL · January 5, 2012 @ 10:16 AM
hahaha. duduk dalam exora best sebab nak overtake orang pasti bagi sebab besar dan orang takut.
cornering tiptop macam kereta dan tak seperti avanza.
ram · January 8, 2012 @ 11:49 PM
saya order H-line dan loan dah approve tetapi saleman kajang kata Proton dah stop production utk H-Line dan saya amat kecewa dgn Proton inform lambat.
Insan · January 10, 2012 @ 11:04 PM
Dear adersajer and zachary, plse dont quarrel each other. We are here to discuss. Imported car ader jugak yang cheaper eventhough kreta perodua dan proton dah ader. Maybe you boleh beli. There lot araound us. Without downpayment berlambak sekarang. My friend baru beli avanza tanpa bayar aperpun. Dear scorpion, lot of my friends still using iswara year 94 to 97 and still working. One of them is using saga magma.. lama tu.. 1992 rasernyer. still ok. Jangan terlalu ghairah condemn sana sini. Kalau mampu beli yang mahal, go ahead. If not, beli ajer yang kita mampu. Adik saya still using 1st version of iswara putih 1994. Still boleh pecut 160km/j tanpa gegar. Kena saman ader la skali. To ram, H line production memang dah stop and being replaced with exora bold. Much better. Drop by at any proton showroom and give a try. To all, plse don’t take things too serious. We should exchange ideas and build good rapport between others. Any way, aper sajer kreta yang you all pakai, happy driving.
Insan · January 10, 2012 @ 11:16 PM
Dear Khairul, cornering for all new version i.e. saga, persona, satria, exora, inspira is different. The handling has been adopted from lotus handling style and re-implement to be more suitable with malaysian driving style and road condition. Sebab itu, exora bila pecut kat highway let say 170km/j, aerodynamic on the vehicle is different. Force and drag work together and during cornering it will compensate with tangential force and gravitational force to get the best speed. Kalau tak caya, pergi ke proton test center dan tengok cammaner diaorang pecut exora. For info, our proton ader satu track yang designnyer sebiji ngan lotus track kat luar negeri tu untuk test kreta proton. Design lebih kurang macam velodrom ataupun sebijik macam yang ada dalam cerita kartun THE CAR. This one, pomen kita orang, lecturer di IKM, automotive pernah pergi dan raser sendiri camner diarong test proton car. So get the info from any proton guys. The might know. Happy Driving

i do agree wiz u insan. I just owned my exora 2weeks back and guess the performance is so far so good!! regds to the minor tech defects is quiet normal even in any other cars. it’s how we handle it that matters. I had used a kia spectra 1.6 before and looks like the fuel consumption is almost the same.
tip : best way to safe fuel is to top up full tank each time it reaches half tank ( when the tank is full it shakes less and would not create gas that will drain fuel faster ) try it!!
over all Im satisfied wiz my brand new exora. Cheers!!

Dear MR BUGIS, tq for the tip. Memang betul, itulah caranya untuk save petrol. Saya pun amalkan yang sama. Dear TKK, plse check with the car mechanic. Harap2 tak terkena isi minyak yang bercampur air. Ada few cases reported dalam blog and paper recently that air bercampur dalam tangki minyak masa isi minyak kat petrol pam. Contoh kes – masa hujan lebat. Bila air dah bercampur ngan minyak, u would expect what to happen. Berhati-hati masa isi minyak. Or else mungkin minyak tak isi masa digital indicator dah blinking at reading 50. Fuel pump gauge appear at 60. At blinking of indicator, kena isi segera, sebab lambat isi, minyak makin kurang, boleh rosakkan catalyzer pada ekzos. This item is used to reduce fuel consumption. Dear RIN, masalah aircond belum dapat ditentukan lagi since belum adaer yang pakai on the road. Upgrade rim 16″ to 17″ has to be synchronised dengan power engine. However, new exora bold is designed to attend power for 2.0L engine. Rasernya takde masalah takat nak tukar ke 17″. Dear LEODURRAH, tahniah kerna masih gunakan produk Malaysia. Anyway for your case, ABS dan brek punyer lampu nyala tu better pergi proton. Kita risau mungkin disk dengan pad, on off melekat seperti tekan brek. Due to this, minyak diperlukan lebih untuk force drag yang dihadapi oleh brek. Tentang wiper tu, biasalah. Kat Thailand dulu masa banjir, beribu kereta tenggelam. Makna nyer, kadang-kadang kita dapat kreta yang dah lama di padang. Saya pun tukar gak wiper tu. Ader sesapa yang dah try MPV dari syarikat lain i,e. NAZA CITRA , TOYOTA AVANZA, NISSAN GRAND LIVINA, CHERRY EASTER, PERODUA ALZA.. any MPV below RM100K. Dah try baru boleh bagi bintang. All MPV ada pro and kons. So, Happy Driving with your MPV.
