Reverse sensors cost RM60Million to manufacture…

**************************************************************

True enough if this reverse sensor is a active/passive sonar as seen in most luxury vehicle. Which also provides “parking assists” as well. Heck, they even got car that can park itself too.

But over here we are arguing on the most basic reverse sensor to be installed on a huge Tin Milo MPV. But, I don’t mind if P1 doesn’t want to install. It has NEVER WORKED properly! No obstacle or got obstacle, it will always give you that constant “beep” sound. (Applied to P1 only). Haha.

“… The sensor would sound like you’re very close to the obstacle, eventhough there’s still some room left to reverse… ”

***************************************************************************

Hello? Ain’t reverse sensors supposed to do that. To “beep” you when you’re near to the obstacle. To warn you that last few inches spacing to obstacle. And NOT to “beep” after you heard a LOUD THUMP as your car hits the obstacle.

I have driven a lot of huge MPVs before, and its very tacky to reverse at blind spot area, big area are okay, but try parking at those cramp parking area at some KL shopping mall, then you know what I mean. Reverse sensor, even the most basic ones, should comes with all car models, especially MPVs.

Especially for Malaysian drivers! Its very annoying when you come out from shopping mall or after watching movie, and find your car either scratched or hit by some idiot while reversing.

.guess ur not the old school type kinda owner. But the owner who relay’s on electronic stuffs. Btw. Reverse sensors cost RM60Million to manufacture…
So. it’s a huge impact if wanna cheaper car.

no abs, ebd and others accs can understand. but the basic reverse sensor for this bulky car also removed, what a f**k and stupid decision. why dont remove the rear wiper, side mirror, spare tyre, power steering, etc…

u expect people good in estimate rear distance when reverse.

f**k u proton. stupid blood suckers!!!

i’m not anti proton but this f**king rubbish really make us shame.

Hello, you can’t survive reversing without sensor? You think the sensors are accurate anyway? Not really. The sensor would sound like you’re very close to the obstacle, eventhough there’s still some room left to reverse

I gonna bet that this MPV is going to put Perodua sales up up away from Proton…

Even some ppl here claim they dont have crash test, even Proton exora haven came out official crash test result from Independence NCAP.

If you’re expecting EuroNCAP, you should know that they have to sell the car in Europe 1st before they can be certified by EuroNCAP…wait for them to sell the car in Europe, then we’ll talk. I’m sure all the other NCAP’s the same.

Daihatsu Sirion (Myvi brother) even have 4 star rating.. Even they also have 4 air-bags + Abs. Do the maths, even reduce spec which still better?

That’s a bunch of crock. ABS, Airbag is also accounted in the NCAP rating. Just because a full spec Daihatsu Sirion get 4 star doesn’t mean MyVi also 4 star. Why don’t you tell Perodua to send Myvi for EuroNCAP test? Why the double standard? Enough is enough, P2 fan-boy Littlefire

I’m sure Proton already done the market research on Malaysia before even set the price or standard of the car their making.

why many people like to comment something when they have nothing to comment?

Then book a MAS flight to London one-way offer RM1,248, migrate there, u can buy even Rolls-Royce there cuz in UK, cars are cheap. Here, Malaysia too expensive. What for u suffer here? Go and enjoy life, MAS is making it possible for only RM1,248. Hurry before the ticket sold out… but wait, u dun mind to pay more, right?

I recommend u go with Singapore Airlines, and experience Airbus A380. It is slightly more, but u pay quality mah… Singapore Airlines… A great way to fly

I gonna bet that this MPV is going to put Perodua sales up up away from Proton…

Even some ppl here claim they dont have crash test, even Proton exora haven came out official crash test result from Independence NCAP.

The most highest Proton get official is Waja, which have 3 star for having 4 air-bags + Abs. So do you think that with our 2 air-bag + abs can get over 3 star rating?!?

Daihatsu Sirion (Myvi brother) even have 4 star rating.. Even they also have 4 air-bags + Abs. Do the maths, even reduce spec which still better?

By the way, if proton so confidence with their safety. Just show out the official report and don’t be like the federal G cover up the report on Bukit Antarabangsa.

Well said bro!

We here in malaysia, our people have to bear our own life ..risking our life on the road everyday.. yes..everyday!!

You all know the answer, !
our hard earn money pay for the OVERPRICE vehicle ..

if the public transport is convenient enuf …Who wanna buy a Car to suffer? we all know its not cheap! most of the time the car installment already cover major part of our salary…especially for those fresh grads~~( cos dun wanna look like old-hunk, get at least a 50k myvi ) ..

Do any of u know, if you were to take a bus from Puchong to Ikea, the curve (ok..drive time maybe 20 minutes) do u know how ????

answer is. there is no direct route from puchong to One U..BU,KD.. the bus have to go to KL first then change bas !!! GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

do u believe tat????

Guys, think… and that;s one of the big issue, why we dun have much tourist compare to our neighbour coutries~~

Since we were push to drive our own car…support local made Proton..
but yet it does not give us the basic we need…
We need safety..

while the latest volvo C60 is having the latest safety system ( the car will stop by itself if it sense danger) I dun expect we have the same..
but at least dun make our life suffer..

and the strongest point is.

if you think AH1N1 is scary..kill a lot..
wait until u compare to our nation mortality in road accidents!

anyone wanna find out the real stats that how many ppl are kill on the road each year?? and how many involve proton cars..

What a theme?…funny and confusing…

u buy one can try it on ur highway urself!

anyhoo… the way P2 pack their car really begging anybody to take a spyshot of the trailer with the motto ‘Kereta juga MPV’ as their marketing strategi.. I guess they would do better to market the car as a wagon.. so it would look like they are opening a new auto-market(wagon) and not opposing other MPV already proven in the market now.

and.. i really not sure why people saying exora can tapau after alva adora launch.. exora waiting list still standing at 3 months,
1. p1 can set exora-alva gap wider by introducing the forced induce engine by midst 2010.
2. while P2 started the marketing for alva in 2010, exora already on a snowball market and p1 has started their waja replacement marketing in-which i hope they going to drop waja badge and give it the impian badge. They might not bother lots by Alva since the market rules pioneer get bigger pie slice. (case: myvi | savvy ; even if both on different segment)

Do anyone have any idea what’s next for P2? Paul? Littlefire?
my opinion in the evolution of P2 model
Kancil, Kelisa -> Viva
Kembara -> Nautica
Kenari -> Myvi + Alva ( i think this should be the case since Kenari mark as mini MPV and Myvi looks like a compact MPV and Alva is an extended Myvi)
Rusa -> halted P2 model replaced by Avanza

with srs, abs, eba, ebd, tcs, esp, vcs and etc.. doesnt mean that u wont involve in an accident, unless you change your driving attitude…
