Biasala, org dah busok ati dia, elok mcm mana, cantik macam mana or superb mcm mana pun, tetap buruk perspektif dia, duk agung2kan brgan buatan luar. sedarlah wahai manusia, sapa yg datang kat tanah air kita dulu dan potong kepara tuk nenek kita dulu, sejarah jgn lupa…sendri mau ingat!!!
INGAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dan enjin innova 2L tu bukan kuat sangat (136hp), terhegeh-hegeh jugak bila kat jalanraya.

tapi hentah le kenapa la orang malaysia sendiri tanak sokong produk buatan negara dia sendiri.

kalau tengok korea, depa support 100% produk sendiri. perasan dak kalo drama korea, keta yg digunakan dlm cerita tu adalah keta buatan korea aje.

kalu nak ikut, keta korea tu bukan le baguih sangat bahkan lebih kpd hampeh. kompeni aku ader pakai sebiji kia sephia (sebutan yg betul bukan KIA tapi KIAL atau SIAL) – memanjang ajer problem. hutang belum habis keta dah problem itu ini. sparepart plak mahal… buat top overhaul aje harga topset gasket dah lebih RM500.00 sedangkan kalo proton dalam seratus lebih aje lebih kurang…

pastu naza bawak masuk boh brand sendiri. saya ingat lagi problem Kia Carnival (pastu tukar jadi Naza Ria) yg sama iaitu masalah engine block retak mengakibatkan masalah overheating. masalah yg sama kena pada Naza Sorento. member aku beli Sorento, pastu kena tukar henjin gak bila engine block tu retak. Nak jual balik harga jatuh gila-gila sebab takde sapa yg nak…

belum lagi aku dengar masalah yg sama pada henjin Proton yg popular kecuali Proton Tiarap (sebab guna enjin Renault yg problem)

kenyataannya, nothing is perfect and Proton can’t please everyone.

Exora aku akan kluar minggu depan… yahuuu… biar la proton iswara reput aku tu berehat sket, dah berpuluh tahun kena dera ngan aku tanpa masalah, kesian la pulak… nama pon dah kenDERAan, memang patut pon kena dera, bukan setengah orang jadi hamba keta… heheheh

kalo tengok gambor, macam gear knob tu agak jauh susah nak capai. tapi bila dipandu, OK la pulak. tukaran gear lancar tak tersangkut-sangkut (tau tak tukaran gear Mercedes C200 model W203 pon tak selancar tu? Nissan Sentra 1.6 yg manual pon selekeh gak tukaran gear dia… tu model import ramai yg agung-agungkan tuuuu…).

cuma jarak tukaran gear agak jauh (maksudnya kena tolak jauh sket antara mana-mana gear). tapi klacnya ringan sebab guna sistem hidrolik. (ke aku ni yg dah biasa bawak lori dgn klacnya yg keras tu rasa ringan?)

prestasi henjen dgn gearbox manual ni, macam paul kata “improving the Exora’s lethargic acceleration” betul-betul memberikan nisbah pecutan yg ketara.

masa aku test ari tu highway MRRII kosong sebab hari minggu keta tak banyak, sempat gak pecut hingga 120kmj. nisbah gear teratas macam overdrive, kalo nak memotong di bawah 90kmj rasa lembab sket. sebaik saja tukar ke gear 4, umang aiiii… berdesup wehhhh!!!

aku terperasan bila henjen masuk ke putaran 2000rpm, terasa ada kejutan sket pada enjin. mungkin masa tu fungsi CPS dia hidup (masuk mode high cam bila rpm sampai 2000) dan pecutan jadi bertenaga…

kalo nak pakai keta Exora ni utk jangkamasa panjang, model manual ni dah cukup. Ini bersesuaian sekali bila jangkamasa bayaran balik pinjaman ada yg sampai 9 tahun. Hutang tak habis lagi keta dah reput.

Bila klac habis, klac tu tak semahal mana. Kalo auto, adohhh mak kos servis tukar minyak ATF aje dan lebih kos tukar clutch kit manual gearbox wehhh. Minyak ATF tu wajar ditukar setiap 40,000km sedangkan clutch kit bleh capai sekurang-kurangnya sehingga 80,000km. Kalo gearbox auto tu lingkup sebab kedekut nak selalu servis, lagi la mahal nak tukau gearbox.

Pakai yg manual ni pon, petrol pon jimat sket berbanding yg auto (auto tranny memang banyak membazirkan tenaga dari henjen) Tenaga enjin sampai ke tayar dgn sepenuhnya dgn manual gearbox.

Korang bleh la tunggu model yg pakai turbo keluar di pasaran kalo nak henjen yg pawwar ruut. Tapi musti mau ingat, kalo turbo tu rosakk, duittt lagi. Macam Mercedes E200 Kompressor atau C200 Kompressor, turbo unit tu bukan murah wehhh mau makan 5-8 ribu hengget kalo nak tukau… Bagi org kaya yg mampu beli Mercedes, kos tu tak seberapa sebab takkan pakai mercedes, henjin bunyi macam mesin tebu dek kerana kompressor berbunyi. Nak jaga turbo kena la rajin servis tukar dia punya bearing dan seal (bearing ni akan rosak gak bila sampai waktu wear&tear dia, macam kita tukar v-belt dan tensioner dia). Kos servis turbo plak bukan murah wehhh..

lagi satu… Lotus ride tu bukan cakap kosong. Jalan MRRII ni banyak lekuk dan jalan yg tak senonoh terutama bila sampai pada permukaan penyambung jambatan. Even Mercedes dan BMW pon rasa melambung bila kena penyambung jambatan tu. Tapi aku tak rasa pon bila test Exora tu ariiii…. kabin pon senyap, kedudukan masa memandu pon rasa selesa dan tepat,

kira model ni betul-betul holiau lahhhh… patut la Proton punya tagline “You’ll be amazed”

to date, the handling for sedan is persona (comfort bias), hatch is neo cps (driving dynamic) and torsion beam setup is exora (comfort bias). Of course, there will be a better product in the future that u can assure it will be better, eventhough for variant and facelifted. there are many different aspects of ride and handling for example steering linierity, lane changes, steering feedback and so on. it is different to suit different car characteristics.

i’m not boasted about proton ride and handling but it is the best handling car in its class without any mumbo jumbo electronic assist where u need to fork out a car double or maybe triple its price to get such ride and handling dynamics. thats why many car manufacturers from mass production even a sports car oriented manufactured have turn to lotus for their aid (there are numbers of proton engineers over lotus HQ). adios…………

but it term of performance, exora it is at par with the other mpv in its category and for manual version, for me,personally, it is far better than one expected and even nearly at par of some 1.8 automatic mpv other makes.

this is just my own method to explain exora manual and auto. so Abagas, u just need to test drive neo cps manual and auto or waja cps manual and auto or gen2 cps manual or auto. the different between manual and auto in those cars are nearly similar to different of performance for exora manual and auto except that the throttle response is better in exora because it is the same as neo cps throttle response.

but i had to admit that exora’s handling is a little bit better than waja because of its chasis is more rigid and sturdy than waja and its already handling version 4.0(if not mistaken).

waja is tuned for leisure crusing while exora is tune for family comfort. the power and money is urs. choose wisely and think about the future. adios………..
