Alami Proton open day this weekend at Proton COE

alami proton 1

National car manufacturer Proton Holdings Berhad is organising an open day called Alami Proton this weekend (September 27-28), at its Centre of Excellence in Shah Alam.

Aside from test drives of Proton vehicles, R3 and Lotus cars, the event will offer visitors the rare opportunity to view Proton’s manufacturing methods as well as get a closer look at the company’s latest technological developments. On the cards are tours of the Research and Development (R&D) facilities and Medium Volume Factory (MVF) at the automaker’s Shah Alam manufacturing plant, where the Proton Exora and Inspira are built.

Other exhibits will include a display of products and services from Proton vendors such as Robert Bosch, TRW, Delloyd Industries and KYB-UMW Malaysia. Visitors will be able to get up close with the various technologies used to develop a Proton car, from performance and styling to the safety aspects.

To keep families entertained, plenty of activities are planned, and these include wall-climbing, kart racing, laser tag and face painting. Proton’s new Iriz will also be featured at the event, with the highlight being a lucky draw for visitors to win the B-segment hatchback. Other lucky draw prizes include various bicycles and motorcycles.

          just like peyno said, some who bought Perodua cars thought their car is “Toyota”. So how come they have different rank for Toyota and Perodua?
          Or, let’s try this… since Perodua = Toyota, can we send Perodua car for service at Toyota Service Centre?

            You are right peyno.Jdm cars do have better build quality compare to local assembled models.

            This beg a question. If the Japs can build good quality cars for their own market.,why can’t we do the same here in Malaysia.Feels shortchanged doesn’t it.

            Haha…
            This where there is a thin line that people who think buying pelodua smart bla bla bla..
            I bought myvi,full of power window prob olso..speaker pecah suara just 3 mths after bought..

            But here is the fact that p2 owner are easily con by japs & p2 …
            1. P2 cars are copy paste
            2. Its the same blu print
            3. Same molding to manufacture…
            4. X byk man hours to desing r&d except grille

            So…

            Its a con bisnes where u oledi sold the same cae world wide,same model,same blu print,less man hours to produce it..yet…
            U sold it like a damn new cars frm scratch…
            Which means the prices could be much lower & p1 prices are just right as dey develop it frm scratch.
            Still bangga2 beli p2?

        Who gives a damn if they are no.1 in sales? Only salesmen do, just like peyno mentioned. Pariah is still pariah.

    Peyno ni asyik cakap duduk 6 tahun kat jepun. Yang tak cakap tu, dia cuma hisap susu 6 tahun. Lepas to balik malaysia untuk kindergarten.

    Konon nyer, kenapa cuma kindergarten kalau dah cukup umur untuk primary 1. Itu la, otak rosak hanya dapat masuk sekolah mental saje.

  • proton cvt tranny sucks (i.e. noisy and ponderous), hope they put a better one in this new model. the specs looks good and all the safety kit is standard across the range.
    biggest B segment car, let’s hope they handling and the engine is up to the mark. not to mention the quality of the interior and the attitude of the SCs who will be taking of the new model. i hope they have learned that selling a car is not just about a car but the entire experience of ownership.

    Went to check out both iriz and axia today ( 1st time). Axia seem to have more legroom while being a smaller car. I had to find out why. Turns out the front and rear seats are less than 1 inch thick. In fact if i poke my finger from the rear gently i can already feel the back of the driver. It did not look so thin as the design gives an illusion that its thick due to being thick at the corners only. Maybe after a few years of use it will become paper flat seat?

    Iriz definitely feels more solid and better built using higher quality materials even for the standard spec 1.3

    But perodua has marketed axia well. Completely manipulating its customers. Sad to say i think it will sell in more numbers. But only due to affordability factor as our earning power is low.

    If on tight budget, pray hard for safety n get axia, otherwise get the Iriz at 10k more and have peace of mind.
