Basic information about my car
2020 Proton X70 1.8 Premium
Reasons why I bought this car
Previously we owned an Inspira. Since my father getting older he finds himself hard to sit in and get out of a sedan and prefers SUV. When we check the prices and specs of all SUVs in market, we felt X70 so value for money. So we took it.
Car Selection Process
-
I had a budget of 130,000
-
Model(s) that I have considered include: Honda CRV, Toyota Fortuner, Subaru XV, Mazda CX-5
Reasons why I chose this car:
All those extra features that really helps. And the premium feel the car gives. Very easy to park as the 360° camera helps a lot. Even a heavy car but it never fails to accelerate quickly. Lots of features for lesser price is worth.
User Experience
-
I have already done 8,000 km
Since the purchase, my thoughts about the car are:
Seriously happy of my decision. This car really gives more than I expect. Still WOW me most of the time. Fuel consumption is good if no sport mode on. I felt not tired even we traveled from Johor to Perak straight away.
Pros & Cons
Pros
The premium feel, the acceleration, those extra features, spacious cabin, even the boot is spacious for luggages. Smooth steering and gear transmission.
Cons
Some features like power boot with leg sensor fails sometimes, the screen mirroring couldn't support sound system from car, maybe I don't know how to set it. I felt the steering is light when going in 160-170, but switched to sport mode it becomes so firm.

Summary
My relative usually likes to troll us for using Proton. But when he himself get on to this car, just speechless and shocked. Then he said to us, "Good choice".
