I got this info from 'mycarforum'. It's came from Ynizam, newbie from that forum. I copied it here just only to share this info with all exorians out there. Thank you Ynizam.
Hye fellow exorians. I'm ynizam from melaka.
Just got back from SG last night. Spent 2 days around town.
Only managed to see a silver, Grey and white exora.
i went to both proton's showrooms n one SE in ubi told me about this forum.
so, i come by this forum with the hope to meet SG's exorians.
and i am not disappointed. hey Shorty! nice to meet you here!
i spent almost 3 hours reading this particular thread from start.
there are so many things that from the discussion that ...
i wish .. i can .. i want .. i should ... to say... share ... respond ...
there are myths, presumptions, expectations, facts, opinions ...
some are true, some are good facts .. some .. are just dead false.
first .. intro: my drive:- manual, white, basic model
next, important quick notes to share:
1. proton are on Campro engines for all its New models
- no run-ins!!! it is GO WILD from 0! no need to wait 1000km.
- i hit 160km/h from melaka to KL on the 2nd day of ownership.
- no 10 mins warm up in cold condts either!
- as along as u patiently let the electronics to settle in the first 15 secs after you keyed-in,
then you start up - you campro engines will be just fine.
- no INSTANT pickup for all campros (except NEO- lighter chasis factor)
- but this cars can speed! 170 is my highest on my exora, 180 for Saga.
2. all campro are fuel efficient (to a certain extent!)
- drive steady under 4k rpm, you'll get above the 10km/l mark
- once you cross the open pod barrier, you get speed but you also need to fill up sooner.!
3. Manuals are more fuel saving than Autos ....
- bad news rite? but at least you more relax while driving
- how to save? just dont speed. drive casual. it's a MPV. people keep forgetting that fact. hehe
4. Once you change from stock 15" to anything more ... dont bother about FC anymore.
- any calculations based from the board are INVALID since it is based on the stock 15" rotation.
- if you get higher Fc, it's basically because the distances have been cut down by a bigger tyre.
5. TBC Exora is still a 1.6 - Out in 2012. with FL. but no slider for 2nd row seats! ha ha!
- no 1.8 anytime soon. that caps is for a new model coming in later this year.
6. IGNORE all bad comparisons based on engines cap. they are just people who dont own exoras.
- comparisons based on numbers and ratios are useless too. You have to drive to know the feel.
- a 10 mins drive doesnt tell a lot about a car or engine ability that you will drive for years to come.
7. price and features - not going into that .... you need to know macro / micro economy really well.
- if you can afford BETTER car ... dont play down on other cars. hehehe you might own one later!!
8. underpowered? those who dont own an exora will say this based on pure numbers and hersay.
- i got up genting, cameron, wang kelian, my mum's school, jusco roof top parking ... full load ...
all up to speed .... what power are they claiming to be insufficient?
- autos .. D. 2. 3. L - use them. hehehe why are Exora slow going up hill they asked?
- Answer:: Bad unexperienced SLOW driver!
9. those getting exoras manufactured under 23k (see back mirror, bottom left - last 6digits)
- go and get your thermo amps change - dont wait for it to break down.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST .....
10. minor things to change (without fail) during 1000.5000 or 10000km service
- bump stopper, insulator, grounding cable, back wiper ... hehehehe ... and the list goes on ....
- all are listed in proton service bulletin .... kindly ask the SC to check the bulletin
