Great D-segment car, cheap

Having recently owned this car (a government-issued car), I have to say that the engine and transmission package are absolutely smooth and save trouble. In the process of acceleration, you can get the immediate response of torque very early, which is very convenient when driving along the curved B section road. However, when the car is driving on the highway, its riding experience is really great, and the speed can reach 130-140 km/h, which is unobtrusive and has a lot of breathing space. I like interior-buttons and interface layouts are practical, and don't need to know much about how to start using them. The seat (version 2.0L) has a good blend of leather and fabric-this is a more practical and comfortable layout than the full leather finish in 2.4L.. For such a large car, it can turn very stably. I like that the reversing camera is a comprehensive standard, because reversing confidently without it may be a risky proposal. It comes standard with 6 airbags, which is a clear upgrade to the original Accord at that time. Not surprisingly, compared with accordion (model year 2013-2015/6), Proton's QC is a bit suspicious, because its fit and finish feel better in general, although it has been used in the latter model for a long time (I checked several old models of model year 5/6, and the original Honda made Perdana fit stronger). There is a little delay when the parking sensor is deactivated. Proton SC tells me that this is normal. The original silver plastic trim on the dashboard was repainted in black, which felt like a palm-sized dashboard. There are other minor problems, which I have sent to proton correction, but have not affected the overall driving quality. I hope that Dr. Li is reading this article, because Geely's joining in 2017 will really help improve their assembly quality control from then on—I just hope that Dr. Li can help our Perdana car owners (before Geely's ownership) to ensure that Proton can continue to assist in rectification if there is a problem with a warranty period exceeding 5 years, even if it is not free, but at a fair price. Some things, such as the peeling off of the headlight surface in a few months, should be the responsibility of Proton ... Otherwise, a reliable and sturdy engineering vehicle can even last for more than 3 years-only Proton/Dr. Li Chunrong needs to give our customers some favors in correcting some appearance/quality control problems of the vehicle. I hope you are watching this!
