Imagine, if it is indeed underpowered, with full capacity, trying to move from a standstill to cross junctions, u-turns or coming out of a junction expecting to accelerate fairly well, when suddenly you experience something like the torque-dip of old gen2s. You might pose a risk for others as you'll be coming into other people's paths at a very slow speed.

I'm not saying that this hasn't happened, I see it happen everyday while driving. Just that it would be better if proton didn't add to this situation by providing a underpowered engine.

IF it is underpowered, that is. I wouldn't know, been driving the same ol beat up wira aeroback for close to 10 years T_T

Anyway, Exora has good exterior and interior, i will only give low marks for the enginee. others i consider as 85%

A suggestion is do a CAMPRO MPV version which is generate less hp but lot more torque. (eg: 130hp and 200Nm)

If Exora can achieve that it should be the best first choice MPV. Cheap, nice looking, powerful.

From my short experience driving on Malaysian roads, 120km/h is the realistic maximum cruising speed limit for anyone who cared enough about their license (and wallet, to some extent) will drive on Malaysian roads. Yep, 110kmh is the limit on highway, but 120kmh is forgiveable to some extent, ala borak2 la baik2 skeyt ngan uncle misai tu. leh nye… As long as Exora can maintain 120km/h on the highway with no difficulty, I see no problems in the power department. Driving up to 160+km/h with your family aboard? Seriously? Sayangilah keluarga anda.

Proton have done a commendable job in giving a very competent MPV to the Malaysian market. Kudos to Proton for (FINALLY) listening to our woes, we wanted a good MPV for as long as i could remember (im 25). If I have my own family I will put my money down for this. For now, Neo looks much more funner. =D

i know "funner" is wrong. but its funner using "funner". grammer police stay away. its not fun ler.

tested rondo, way superior in terms of engine. it has gt a pretty butt, fascia is orite.interior and dashboard compact n nice,more luxurious feel, a real deal for mpv under 100k. its downside is the 3rd row, less spacious but enough to fit a 1.65m dude.

add 10 more grands from exora and we could get a 2 litre engine.

saw a rondo park beside a crv and i wud say their size in quite comparable bt crv is a 5 seater

livina has gt luxurious interior, but its beige colour fabric isnt suitable for kids, livina looks too cramp on the inside and small from outside, somewhat like a elongated small car.but it only comes with 1.6 n 1.8, if u going for brand then livina may be it..

im driving a hyundai matrix with 245 000km in it from 2003, had no problems at all as most wud link it with korean car.so the choice of mpv wud be kia rondo

Before anyone complains about Exora being underpowered & all that, please note that on an engine output to kerb weight ratio, the Exora is higher than the Nissan Grand Livina, Naza Citra & Toyota Avanza. So, as far as engine power is concerned, the Exora outdoes the rest. The only drawback will be the slow acceleration (0~100km/h) factor. But then again, as aptly mentioned by HIRUMAJR, "TARGET DIE LEBIH PADE GOLONGAN YG X PERLUKAN POWER YG LEBIH… KETA NI UNTUK ORANG YG NAK BAWAK FAMILY GI JALAN2.. DRIVE SLOW2 SUDAH… LAGIPUN… XKAN LA BAWAK FAMILY PON NAK SPIN TYRE KOT", so could it be that Proton deliberately sacrificed acceleration to reduce fuel consumption, as required by a proper family car ?
