Eric Ng
1.5T Flagship (2024)
Bought new, Owned less than 1 year
Fuel Economy: 16.0 km/litre (6.3 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 3,000 km/month
    - Nice handling
    - Powerful engine
    - Fuel efficiency is actually not bad (can get 18km/l on highway and 17km/l on trunk roads)
    - ICC works like a charm when driving long distance
    - Cabin NVH pretty good (hardly any wind sound even at 130kmph)
    - ADAS very good
    - Solid materials (inside and out) - gives a premium feel
    - Throttle spin needs to be addressed (only happens when on auto hold, if that is off, tires spin doesnt happen)
    - Tires sound when at high speeds is there
    - No android auto / apple carplay (yet?)
    - Lack of buttons for drive modes is a bad design decision
    - Seats not as comfortable as initially thought (leg room could be better), i am 180cm tall
To Improve
- In car navigation needs to be improved (doesn't really pick the best routes even though option is chosen and upcoming junction alert could be a bit further)
- Throttle spin. Proton needs to do some fine tuning.
- Sadly all the safety features only available on flagship and flagship x versions, should be mandatory for all versions.
Yes, I would recommend this car

1.5T Flagship (2024)
Bought new, Owned less than 1 year
Fuel Economy: 14.0 km/litre (7.1 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 2,000 km/month
    Nice pickup
    Adequate comfortable driving feel
    Modern cabin minimalist
    Good NVH
    ICC useful on highway cruising
    Good LED
    No auto viper
    Seat belt height cannot be adjusted
    Auto aircond not calibrated good enough
    Tyre noise ( should be better with better tyres)
    Cabin less spacious compared to other C segment (H) branded
    High center console limiting knee space
To Improve
Its a value for money buy. Would not expect more except better auto aircond tuning.
Yes, I would recommend this car
