Its always the same thing, Malaysian don't get to enjoy all this. This makes like Malaysian has no taste or could not care more about the goodies. Car makers are taking advantages of Malaysian. Hope ETCM, UMW and Honda noted this. Anyway, overall the facelift looks better. Will Malaysia version follow this Why Malaysian models are less in term of goodies and technology such as controls on steering wheels and LCD screen on main panel.

Only thing is, its engine doesnt give that 2.0 grunt. Push it a little harder, and you'll hear it cracking alike a 1litre engine. Cvtc transmission is very smooth, barely felt the gear changes.Its tortoise shape remains controversial though. This car is a bargain, compared to the Altis 1.8.

Nothing matches, nothing lines up, proportions of the elements (lights, lamps, grill, bumper, air intake) is a mis-mash, like something a first year design student might come up with. But of course, that's only my opinion... . To me, the front fascia is a "dog's dinner".

Really, how much more can they can make by giving rear drum brakes vs giving rear disc brakes compared to the loss of goodwill. Perhaps there are still ppl willing to pay more than RM100K and still get drum brakes that ETCM does not care but there is no other sedan that cost more than RM100K that gives drum brakes why is ETCM giving the el-cheapo drum brakes.

Seats are meant to be seated comfortably less fatigue for long distance drive… that is why it is so comfort to sit on. hence seats are sofa-like. What make you think that spotlight and bumper and etc is from Proton? on what ground? I could say Proton copy everyone's windscreen… it look the same from other cars of any brand.
