[ivan_cyc]

Wow i like MT but my father asking me to get AUto..maybe he wan to get a ride.. haha..i take Liquid orange not bad la. for small size 2 door is ok la..i'm thinking of white but the white is something like grey.. T_T wat do u think? which color o?

Actually my dad wanted an auto too.. but i convinced him by saying MT has better FC, cheaper, easier to maintain and of coz i preferred it than auto. So there's a tip you might wanna consider. I finally saw the real thing today and i thought the twilight blue looks the coolest. But its all up to u really. Btw, do you happen to know how muc is the road tax for 1.6?

Where in Cheras can I locate a Proton dealer that is good ? Gonna trade in my car for the nippy NEO!

 

[ivan_cyc]

road tax RM150 above i think if i am not mistaken. is orange looks nice? ANYone??

 

[Scuderia]

Orange is too strong for me. I am getting a safer color like the Silver White ... and with Continentals too !!

Can't wait.


Where in Cheras is the best Proton dealer to go to guys... ?

 

[ivan_cyc]

wah orange is too strong? really strong contrast ppl can see :P haha i live in klang cheras i dunno man~~

Yes it is a pity about the airbags.. but how come nobody compared its torsional rigidity to Saavy yet? I hear the Savvy is 17 k Nm or something like that while the BMW z4 baru 16 k Nm (i think the unit is wrong) but the figure is right. What's the Satria's twist resistance like? No figures from proton ah?

the horrible black cheap plastic...

i see no comments so far on this...but din anyone notice the really cheap looking black plastic at the bottom of the gear level, i give them credit for trying to put the sporty design into this, instead of a usual fabric, but putting in that plastic...?

juz done with my 1st service.. everything is fine.. nothing undesireble happen.. what i like about this car is its design, seats, transmission.. although the interior looking cheap, but it doesnt matter for me, for me, the price is worth for wut we buy.. for a car below 50k.. juz nice.. cant wait for R3 performance parts and bodykit to be launch..

 

[ivan_cyc]

mujadid84 agree with u.

Nice Profile . Good work by Proton boys

One in blue... garang

I sure do hope that the power windows last for more than a year since all proton cars are having that problem. Some say it looks cheap in the inside, but i think in return you get the advantage on performance wise. So look on the bright side for the buyers!
