Car - 2015 Proton Suprima-S GXR
I purchased this car (5-door hatchback) brand new in 2015, while living in Sydney (still have the original purchase papers) and 3 years later (in 2018), I returned home to New Zealand and brought the car with me. At that stage, it had only done 10,000km. (I lived next door to my workplace).
It has now done 37,700km. (genuine)
The Proton Suprima-S GXR has a turbo 1.6L. engine, 7-speed CVT automatic gears, plus sports mode and paddle gears, Lotus handling/suspension, auto headlights, auto windscreen wipers, infotainment system, leather seats, reversing camera and front sensors as well and loads more features.etc.
Features of the GXR are best summarised in the attached infomercial video link: youtu.be...
Obviously the warranty described on this infomercial has expired.
The Micro-SD card slot (which housed the NZ/AU GPS navigation micro-SD card) became faulty and was taken out by a local auto-electrician. Replacement slot can be ordered from the Malaysia infotainment manufacturer apparently (I have the contact details). so at present, the GPS Sat-Nav. not working, but ALL other features of the infotainment system (as described in the infomercial) are working well (eg: Android, WiFi, bluetooth, DVD/CD player, radio, etc.). Overall, really great car, excellent road hugging and sporty as well as comfortable. Never had any problems with it and regularly serviced. Just had a new W.O.F. and service done (June 2022).
