People ask me why I dont wait for Exora or bought an Innova or Avanza for that matter…..well here is my answer :

1. Power. The moment I test drove a Livina, Innova and Avanza (since there is no Exora to test drive at that time)..i fell in love straight away with Livina and place my order immediately.

2. Handling. There is nothing compared to Electronic Power Steering and Ripple Control Suspension. Absolutely no match.

3. Luxury. Well, if you choose Livina Luxury model, it gives you luxurious sensation.

Then when an exora was available to be test drove, I test drove the car and I am relief because……

I made the right decision!

the price is cheap lol….i think lah!!!!!

My main concern still is Quality issue not the features.

Honestly, Exora look are not a good looking type of MPV.

whatever….
i was a supporter of proton…
mine waja…enough touching…8 years bithday recently..

hei..my life miserable with this proton product
sayonara proton

…year 3..

yeah…quite good thoughts for a stupid moron!geez..how come you said like that?!who said that japan made cars never being criticize in their history??
even manufacturers like toyota and nissan used to be called crappy tins in their early times!!but the important thing is they’re constantly improving and u can see at what level they’re now.
this is what proton is constantly being doing now!!keep improve until they reached the desired level.
i think you should revised on your history knowledge more!!!

proton dah rugi satu lagi pembeli..kalau lah ada exora 1.8cc kan bagus…

ada keta berkilat, powerful dan canggih tak guna bro kalo ko kena berdiri kat tepi jalan berpeluh panas mentari ataupun dalam gelap gelita dekat ngan kubur di malam hari kena tunggu towtruck bila keta breakdown…

walopon keta iswara aku udah dekat duaploh tawun umornye, masih reliable. yg penting aku sampai ke destinasi tanpa masalah. petrol pon jimat, utang tarak, sparepart pon murahhhh… mana ceruk kampong pon ada sparepart… bukan aku tak mampu nak angkat keta baru, tapi nak watpe buang duit bayar utang keta sedang keta yg ada takde masaelah langsung?

That’s why I love my Proton Saga… biarpon lobang karat pada pintumu di sana sini tidak ku hiraukan, kau tetap menjadi pujaan hatiku… ahahhahaha

I have read most the the comments on Proton Cars from your site. Some are good, some are interesting, some wrote with brains and some are pure idiots.

To those idiots: If your drive any car or MPV like you moronically expressed your views, then nothing will fits you. Drive a tank…you morons!

To those who complained so much about your cars you bought, drive and still own it: Take a class about the mechanics of automobile, take a class on how to maintain, take a proper driving lesson. If that failed, take a bus you morons!

To those who never be grateful of what this country did for you: Think about it, this humble developing nation called Malaysia did produced an auto industries in a very short time, most developed countries ever dream of. Aren’t you not proud of it? Thousands of engineers and ordinary people get jobs, make living out of it. To bash takes nothing, to curse take nothing, to grumble takes nothing but to do the impossible take guts! If you don’t want to be be proud as a citizen, at least be proud that you are moron, morons!

Are you drunk dudes???

IMHO, performance of MPVs would be better evaluated by person who has experience driving or owns MPV. One should also understand the purpose of a MPV and what we should look for in a MPV.

I own a Naza Ria which I bought in January 2006 and thus far it serves the reason why I bought it in the 1st place i.e. ferrying my families including extended families in comfort (with AC for all 3 rows and spacious for all), DVD entertainment system especially for long distance travel.

Before I opted for Naza Ria, I’ve booked Toyota Innova. But after test drived it, I cancelled and chosed the Naza Ria (MPV in similar price bracket and can accomodate 7 people -adults at that time). For me Innove is overrated as its has poor ride quality with body roll/floating feeling which can make the passengers dizzy. It is a substandard Toyota product for 3rd world market.
For those who commented that Avanza is a better car than Exora, I bag to differ. If Innova ride is worse than Ria, than Avanza will be even worse. Trust me, I’ve been in Avanza. When it was introduced, it was the only affordable MPV around. But with the introduction of Exora (based on the reviews that I gathered from the test drive by various medias including PT), Avanza sales will be affected badly. Even people who don’t just go for the brand will skip Innova for Exora.

Avanza is bumpy and very uncomfortable.

On the safety and underpower issues, MPV is not for racing. The driver must be responsible to ensure that their passengers have a safe and comfortable journey

The only issue is, Proton must ensure that the quality issue is taken care of. All service centres must be trained well, and their personnel no longer passing comments like “Biasalah bang, Proton”. This is very damaging to the brand and will make all the good effort by DS Zainal thus far go to waist.
On issue of winning at traffic lights, my 660 Kancil always moved faster than other cars when the light is green. The secret is always be prepared when the light is green, not to race.

Given the proposed price range and the gadgets BCM and all fitted, this Exora will be a seller.

As commented somewhere, Proton should highlight all the gadgets/extras/facilities in their promotions. Malaysian will look for these.

BUT MAKE SURE QUALITY IS UP TO MARK. The rests will take care of themselves.

IMO, this should be calibrated lower. Note that most of our accidents occur on trunk roads, where the speed limits are between 60 – 90kmh. And this is where some nuts will actually come out of small junctions, or suddenly turn without using their indicators. So, there would be more emergency braking happening here. At speeds of at least 96kmh, it will mean the expressways only. Even Fed Hwy is 80kmh only.

Exora kerb weight is 1380kg, power 125@6500 bhp/rpm, torque 150Nm@4500rpm

so who still gonna say Exora will underpower?

i feel this forum turn to ‘a place to speak as tong kosong’.many ppl give comment with no research,no revise,no FACTs at all.

Rakyat Malaysia masih belum ubah cara mereka berfikir.So Proton,pls add to your assignment,”The Rebadging of Malaysian Mentality”…

by the way, still no news on what tyre size they use huh…?
195/65 R15 maybe? anything from Paul or Sifu?
