![]() If you slow down to turn a corner, it is as if the transmission only went down to third gear and not second or first. In the first few days drives, there seemed to be a lull or slow pick up at slow speeds. By having connectivity, the car has traffic information in the inbuilt Baidu GPS navigation system and seeks YouTube when searching for songs It can also use your own WiFi as an alternative. So the car can produce its own WiFi hot-spot. We get this for 5 years, I presume after that a monthly fee will be payable. The car has its own SIM card and 1GB per month data. This is the best command to impress guests to show how “hi proton”, works It is annoying sometimes but it shows how we tend to swerve around the road. The ACC on the highway and moving traffic works fine ![]() If you have never used ACC, this will not mean much to you. In the XC60, the ACC stops in traffic jams and starts again when the car in front moves.Īssuming it worked the same, we quite shocked when the ACC quits.Īs we suffer interminable traffic jams in KL, it would be nice if the ACC could adopt the XC60 handling of stop start traffic. In slow traffic, when the speed gets to about 5 km/h the ACC asks you to take over. The dashboard indications and graphical warnings are goodīeing used to the XC60 ACC, there is one major difference. The adaptive cruise control (ACC) works well. The car quickly became a family favourite, convincing even my boss, who was, initially, not very interested in a proton. This compares with the Volvos where highway mileage is about double city mileage. I would estimate a 20% to 25% higher mileage on highway compared to city driving. This was a mix of urban silly KL traffic, a few trips to klia and a few outstation trips on tollways This works out to 25.2 mpg (imperial) (21.0 mpg (US)) Petrol consumption over the entire 3,450 kms averages out at 11.2 l/100km. The front seats are designed for Asian sized bodies, and probably smaller than European standards Well stitched and crafted, it is a pleasure to drive ![]() It doesn't always understand what we say and gets things wrong often, but it's a cool gimmick and does work most times The “hi Proton”, talk to me, Siri feature, impresses most people. As one of the first few on the road, there was a lot of interest in the car So this review will make comparisons to both these cars. We never owned another proton after that. My first car was a proton, a new Saga Knight in 1989. I believe some of the features we describe below may not feature in the other models. We have the red, highest specs ,version. Thank you to Chairman of Proton who put us on the list to be one of the early birds. (2012 to 2018 : 127.3k kms) Frustration with the monopolistic and arrogant attitudes of official Volvo dealers led us to consider the X70. With this in mind, we’ve rounded up the five best EDC key organizers on the market today, starting off with our top six and finishing things out with some equally worthwhile (if a bit more niche) alternatives.After forty five days it has been driven driven about 3,450 kms. The thing is, though, for such a simple accessory, it’s surprisingly difficult to discern a buy from a bust. Sleek, streamlined, and super easy to slip into your pockets, these compact caddies are a game-changer when it comes to staying on top of your essentials. It’s pretty irrational really - at least when you consider the abundance of key organizers on the market today.Īfter all, there’s no better way to level up your carry than by keeping your keys together in an organizer. Invariably, they’ll get left on a table, between couch cushions, or in the car, leading to frantic foraging and unnecessary anxiety. And yet, most of us continue to cart our keys around on the same worn-out ring, cramming them into our pockets and crossing our fingers that they’ll stay where they are. Out of everything we carry, nothing goes missing more often than our keys.
