but i still this car rocks… feels solid…nothing flimsy….
if only it’s 4 doors…then it would definitely beat 206 hands down….

If u think U can’t accept wat ppl are trying to say, I feel lazy to argue also. as that’s my kind of logic. if u got ur kind of logic, I respect your logic and I’m just telling my opinion thats all, anyway, as I’ve said before this’s a public forum right? everyone can comment on wat they thought. And I’m not commenting it BLINDLY even though I didnt own a car at this moment. I’ve been collecting various car brochures around… so I know it… Please be kind when commenting on someone’s comments. thanks.

on my opinion, I think they pay nearly same price as locals cos at that rm64,759.29 ..… u also say its standard ONLY for high line models, that’s wat we call optional

Dude,
You need to learn math all over again wei…………….. And Airbag IS standard equipment on the high line model…meaning when you buy the car it is included.. Not optional…. which part of English don’t you understand?

heck, are you even a car owner? Or have bought a car…. or just blind commenting………. based on what you heard…..

raybrig,

I agree that passive safety features such as airbags should be included in all vehicles. But as Govt is not making it compulsory for all cars and the average punter is still willing to buy “unsafe” cars without the safety feature the manufacturers will still make them.

Anyway, the SRM is going to be launched today.

I’ll be making my way to My nearest showroom. want to catch a proper glimpse.

instead of just speculating based on wat i heard…..

About ABS or airbag, I am in the opinion it shall be as a standard and compulsory features in all cars as these items are something important on the safety of the car and user, not additional features to enhance the look of the car.

The airbag n ABS are optional items here but standard items at foreign countries while selling it at local prices. exported so far but they get it at malaysian same price?? hmmm…

Next time you visit a Proton Showroom ask for a GEN 2 High Line price list.

You’ll see that ABS , airbags etc are listed as Standard Features, not optional equipment.

And as to the comment that prices here are expensive. Check again.

In Malaysia The high line GEN 2 Manual is RM 55K,933.33.
In UK, the CHEAPEST, 1.6 Manual (with Airbags) GEN.2 is GBP £9,595.00. At todays exchange rate RM 64 , 759.29.

So why do you justify saying overseas cutomer pay at same prices?

i think proton are improving themselves since gen2.srm and savvy are old design but newly produced (T.M vision).perhaps new car will be much better under new CEO.my opinion-i like this new SRM looks from these pictures.good luck proton!

Old design but newly produced??

GEN.2 based on Mitsu 90’s platform but all NEW exterior panels was newly designed by Proton.

Savvy also all new styling design by Proton.

I think we al should give credit to proton designers for the designs they come out with instead of saying “Old design, newly produced”

….. but local ppl won’t get any airbags n ABS for it… u wan airbag? get it at foreign countries… and i got heard Gen-2 owners complaining the campro engine not enough pick up and quite thirsty.
—————————————————————-

Proton do offer Airbags and ABS in the Higher spec LOCAL models. Check again friend. Proton calls it “High Line” . Bothe Waja and GEN.2 have them.

You heard CAMPRO not enough pickup?? what else you heard?.

I think it’s better to experience first-hand rather than commenting based on something you heard.

But yeah the CAMPRo does lack low end torque campared to other similiar capacity engines. And the spaced out long gear ratios don’t help either.

Savvy is a better car than before actually, and can see its improvement, but still have to wait some time cos the Neo is just going to launch, lets hope that The Neo dont hv any problems like Gen-2. By the way, seldom heard Savvy got problem right? I think is because its sales is not very good so can’t get too many responses. any Savvy drivers here? mind share a bit?

Looking forward to tmr’s launching of the Neo.

I think Proton is exaggerating the facts again.

My Perodua Kenari consumes approximately 6.25 litres/100km.
I poured RM30 worth of fuel everytime, RM30 / RM1.92 = 15.625 litres
My car could travel 250km with 15.625 litres, so 250km / 15.625 = 16km/litre
If 100km / 16km/litre = 6.25 litres.
I don’t turn on air-cond in the morning, I travel very often on highways and i travel 80kmh most of the time. 1.6L can achieve 6litre/100km, you teach me man!

Proton’s old tricks may work on my poor old grandfather, but luckily my cikgu taught me how to mengira, so i can identify and rule out illogical claims.

I despise proton (and the cronies) for it’s endless attempts to fool the rakyat. Will there ever be an end to it?
