Exora as a workhorse, anyone?

Many of the Exora owners wonder, whether is it suitable to take Exora to work?

My experience for past 2 weeks driving Exora to work showed the answer is a big - YES!


Why?

After owning the Exora for almost a year (I bought December, 2012), I was reluctant to take Exora to work due to its size and weight. I drive my old Iswara 1.3 manual to work for its light clutch and agility. It is until recently when it got a bad lower arm bush and bearing problem and I have no time to fix it.

Same as many people, the biggest reason of not taking the monster to work is, I afraid of its maneuverability in the drastic morning traffic and its capability to keep up with cars. Still, I have not much choice.

The next day, I took my 7-seater to work and I continue to take it to a ride for 2 consecutive weeks.

And... time proves me wrong. YES indeed this car is a bit heavy, but when you are taking it to work, its slow pace acceleration actually calms you in the stressful traffic. The good thing about the Exora is that, it has great sound proof and nice stereo system. Its has great suspensions thus making sure you sit comfortably in the cabin while enjoying your favorite music. It gives a sense of calm to start your work day. And, surprising it is no slouch either, at least not as bad as others complaining about its power.

Looking at the cars from the mirror, the Exora has no problem throwing cars behind. Its accelerates steadily and linear, and able to achieve your desire speed fast. This is especially true when there's only driver in the car. It feels lively (perhaps manual transmission) and mature.

The serenity offered by the Exora immediately injects anti-stress hormones into your bloodstream. It will make sure you stay calm and relax to start your day of work, and to go home with smile in your face.

So guys, why not start driving your Exora to work, and confirm what I say is true.

A brand new beginning

Hi to all readers, I am Steve again with this brand new blog. It's been a while since last blogging on 2010 in different blogs but somehow really lack of oomph to keep on posting, may be i am still finding a suitable theme to begin with, or due to my eyes problem, or simply just lazy! Nonetheless, since my eyes has slowly recovering from the stubborn chronic CSR, and I finally found a passionate topic to start with, hence I think it's perfect time now to start a new blog as a beginning of my life as a family man-- "my Exora, my life".

I've just blessed with a kid and now he's now 6 months old, and i have just got a job at a Japanase factory, a superb job with the short distance. I've been treating my eyes with some Avastin injections, and most importantly, bought my very first MPV of Malaysia -- The Proton Exora, where this blog theme is more about.

To all potential Exora buyers or fans, I am going to share every piece of my experience with my new MPV, start from the beginning. The car now still in stockyard waiting for final inspection and plate registration (currently WXU I think). This car is a Proton Exora Bold Executive Manual Transmissions with 1.6cc Campro CPS engine, in Generic Silver color. OTR price is RM65,700 after a year-end discount of RM1,500 and I manage to get full loan from Maybank at 2.84% for 9 years. So monthly is a bout RM764. It is therefore a really worth buy.

Accessories wise, I will be given a full tank of petrol, a smart tag device, a touch-n-go card, a 7" top tint on windscreen, a RM300 tint voucher at Raytech (I have used up to installed a RM1,300 security + heat resistant film), a free plate number stamping on all windows. Though it is not many I will try negotiate for a free Spoiler if possible ;P.

So now the car still at stock yard, according to my SA, and it shall take about 2 weeks to deliver so eagerly awaiting it :D. So stay tune for my new post as soon as I get the car! Sayonara, mata aimashou!
