It’s day two of the P3-21A build-up process and it looks like a few items have been added to the P3-21A chassis we saw yesterday.
The engine has now been revealed – it was installed there before but just covered with a blue cloth yesterday. They’ve also installed the suspension and brake parts to the front.

how good if my SAGA can get a 1.3L CFE treatment for free…LOL
without variable cam-timing, it does suck more fuel but still acceptable; petrol get wasted…
The consumer concern about price. But still alot ppl who has big balls will buy this car. Hope service price is @ normal price even though i dont think so. lets give this CFE engine a positive thinking :) . Hope disaster made by CAMPRO become history. CAMPRO -drink petrol. Will CFE perform better? lets see what will happen. Don’t too excited, better be a realistic person.
If nothing else, I have to say congrats to the Marketing team. They’re definitely doing it right. Lets hope the QC branch and all other departments are up to standards as well.
canggih nya keta ini.
ader injin dan 4 roda
somehow i do think P3-21A will be launched after this live assembling car is completed..
I think so
you don’t say?
I think P3-21A will be launched after this build-up process completed. Perhaps 18 March 2012 or the day after?
I HATE PROTON,BUT NOW I LIKE IT….
I HATE MY H CITY
y u hate ur honda city?.. i tod honda city is a good car.. ya la its expensive ma.. if expensive must be good one..
Been there, done that!
I used to own Honda City, I know how you feel…
Dont worry bro, if u r driving the 1st gen city, u already tested the 7-speed CVT first! :P
dont be sad, you are not alone my family had one too, selling soon =]
can proton launch this model immidiately???!!!!!i can’t wait….
wuts the 0-100km/h time!?
Now, it’s confirmed using CVT. I was perplexed when watched the promo video..thought I saw gear planets..
Went to tropicana city mall, saw cars roadshow, proton has a booth there, according to the salesman, launch April 6, all 3 variants has cfe engine, yah the 65k manual one as well, highest spec has the accessoties, 4 airbags…etc 75k
obviously your salesman is ill inform…
CFE is only for H-Line, other variants are using IAFM+. Don’t believe 100% what the salesman told u.
If Campro is local made then its parts replacement should be cheaper than Mitsubishi engines, right?
That is why Protongkat failed to justify where are the price savings passed to buyers when Mitsu engines no longer used.
Instead you see Protongkat car price keep on increasing with local-made Campro engines, contrary to their claim that it should save costs not paying royalty to Mitsu anymore.
Cost savings not really passed to Protongkat buyers eh???
OK next, how much to replace this CFE engine parts for servicings/maintenance:
– oil filter, air filter, iridium spark plugs or not, timing belt kits, turbo kits (if any) etc
– power steering fluids, brake fluids, m-oil semi-synthetic not not …etc…
Better tell how much to service this CFE or else stick to normal non-CFE engine?
He He He Protongkat prefer to scare its buyers after the purchase rather than before sales made huh?
That’s why LifeTime Warranty (plus LifeTime free servicings, parts, labour) must be given to the turbo unit for CFE lah…or better still whole car covered by LifeTime Warranty (free servicing parts labour)…
well, maybe u haven’t see PERODUA prices yet.. IDIOT :)
75 500 full spec mahal lagi? jgn salahkan proton sbb proton pon kena cukai jugak!!
75 500 keta import mana yg dpt full spec? vios? standard je kowt!!
at 103kw i think its a bit underpowered, haduh, i just put my downpayment last night
if you want 103kw(138hp) from other brand, it’ll cost you atleast rm100k .. now you save rm25k
don’t look at 103 kW but 205Nm starting from 2000 RPM. That’s the difference.
Azman , im sure u wont regret for the downpayment…
it wont be underpowered, look at the drag coefficient figure atleast :) n the HP and torque is sufficient even for standard 1.6 Campro IAFM … if u r taking CFE … takkan underpower bro
cfe makes heavy exora like only a sedan
then it can make this lighter p3 to a ….lol
yup believe it can sprint the car from 0-100km/h i less than 10 sec
I dare Proton to apply “Lemon Law” on this P3-21A model.
To sell this car well and gain new reputation on branding, Proton should provide lifetime assurance services for P3-21A:
– To solve mysterious creaking noises inside the cabin
– To replace screws on Front and rear bumpers that falls out of place after receiving bumps
– To solve air leaks or sound intrusion in cabin
– To solve excessive understeer and oversteer
– To repair/replace electronics that went hay wired every now and then
– To replace regular occurrence of broken lamps and tail lights
– To solve doors, engine lids and bonnets that cannot be closed properly
– To solve noisy and unreliable power windows
– To maintain high resale value for the car and save money in the long run
guess what…H and T dont have any of above problem…. at all :P
Car name like a fax machine..Get it right lar,damn hard to mentioned this new model.
…how bout proton 1 malaysia…? or p1m…damn, sounds like pimp la plak…aiya…ahaha…

Proton Preve…Another typical (read lowsy) design by 25 yr old car maker Proton. KIA and Hyundai have moved ahead producing models that rival Audi design. My personal view is this is going to be yet another Saga cum Neo me-too car. 1.6 engine adds up to the boringness let alone the aging Campro. Hicom…pls do something.
