This kind of review is one that always reminds me of how much of a juggernaut in terms of sheer knowledge, homework done and absolute detail explanation Paul Tan’s car reviewers are compared to other car reviewers. Kudos to Hafriz Shah and the PT gang. You’re doing a damn good job!
As a car enthusiasm.. mostly every single day i will watching car review on YT..but nothing on my experience watching along 1 hour just for it.. in other words it's make me remind your name on Autocar Malaysia Magazine..the way your story its really like your words in that magazine..love it bro
Such a compliment to the car when reviewer review the budget car as if it is a luxury car. A BMW at lower end model vibrates till you are numb and yet ppl live with it.
Wow, Hafriz, you indeed did a good job with this review particularly revealing all those flaws. I hope Proton will acknowledge all of them and come out with future updates/maintenances. Well done, bro!!! You caught my attention the whole hour!
This review is a whole lot better than a genting run.. Can't believe I actually watched most of this video. Appreciate the homework done and the professionalism...
Not planning to buy this car but enjoyed the review by Hafriz. Honest, no bias. That’s what we want to see. One of his best if not his best presentation to date. Well done.
This is literally my first time watching an hour-long car review. Very detailed, informative and honest. Wasn't bored at all the whole time. You got yourself a new subscriber, good sir
Amazing video! What a thorough review of X50. It’s like watching a full episode of Top Gear but only reviewing one car. Glad that you’re being absolutely honest in the video, unlike other sponsored contents. Most unbiased car review video ever. Kudos to Paul Tan and Hafriz!
I spent a valuable one hour watching this video and all i can say is i am now more educated and fully aware of this wonderful product. I am planning to buy it in 1 or 2 years time. It is hoped that all issues that have been brought up are rectified by Proton. Thanks for the great video.
kudos to PT teams. I have never watched a full 1 hour car review before. it doesn't even feel like I just finished a full one hour by just watching one car review video.
This video proves Paul Tan is indeed the best car review channel and website in the country. Great attention to detail and simple yet thorough explanations. Im very sure this video will help many potential buyers of the X50. Great job.
Kudos Hafriz, this is probably the longest car review i've watched and i like it. But man... that wind noise is truly an issue, borderline deal-breaker to me. I prefer my car quiet even if it is not quick. I think Proton should fix that one first with upmost urgency, the rest of the niggles can wait as it is tolerable.
I'm going to agree with many of the commenters out there, the level of details presented is impressive and is incredibly helpful to both potential buyers and Proton/Geely. I didn't plan to but watched this all the way to the end! To Proton and Geely management, please be smart and take this as constructive criticism to improve the next versions of not just the X50 but future cars as well Keep up the good work Hafriz!
Thank you for this review, especially the wind noise issue. Yes, noise is really a big issue for me be it from wind, tire or engine. 2 yrs ago, i failed to hear your advice over the road noise issue on a CRV compared to the more refined X70 and i regretted that. Not going to do the same mistake again this time :-) Thank you Hafriz.
For the price, all the flaws are just some minor things. Yes hoping to come out with a solutions for the flaws. Well even with the car of price tag of RM250K still has flaws, then the X50 is just nothing.
Completed watching one hour video, very well done! I have test driven the car and I love it! It just not suitable for my daily use so I have to skip it. I guess no cars are flawless, just hope Proton will quickly sort them out and we will have an even better car!
my favourite part of the video, aside from the undeniably brilliant 1 hour review, is the positiveness and support people show towards Hafriz in the comment section. its such a wholesome sight :)
26:20 I feel you Hafriz.. I just sometimes don't understand why a lot of Malaysians would risk themselves with cheaper brand tyres when that is what I consider the most important part of the car.. Especially motorcycles as well.. A lot of motorcyclist in Malaysia would rather go for cheaper tyres.. I'm just speechless honestly.. Just finished watching the whole 1 Hour video.. Good job and well done to the team for putting up so much work and effort for this video.. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
Very through review. 1 hr, it's not that long if audience is paying attention to your comments. Kudos to your presentation, you've done well on simplify things making long story short. I thought 1 hr would be boring bfr I watched but no, it's not at all, I don't even realize the review came to an end if you didn't say "that's it for this review". Overall, good & honest review. Proton really owed you a favor for professional review.
Good job, Hafriz, you should be the technical advisor to Proton board. Hope Proton will hear you and most importantly, act immediately to rectify the problem.
Good job Paul Tan / Hafriz.. It’s really a detailed review Btw would like to see you sharing your choice for X50 flagship vs X70 executive/premium since the price gap quite close iinm
Very detailed and direct to the point. Well done, Hafriz. I do agree with the rear seat spacing comparison with HRV, and I really appreciate Proton for putting arm rest for rear seat as my HRV doesn't have one. Both are comfort to sit, especially during long hauls due to its declined positioning. But the HRV lacks arm rest which I really need it whenever I'm not driving. Again, well done Hafriz and PT team!
Great review mate. In Pakistan we are having same engine 1.5tgdi with same gear box but in Proton X70. Basically Malaysian ckd is our cbu but with 1.5tgdi.Can you please put some light on it thanks. Will it work fine with X70 or not??
Should be completely fine. Between the two engine, it's the 1.5TGDi that feels more urgent and free-revving. The only concern is vibrations from the 3-cylinder, but like I said in this video, it's well contained for the most part.
A malaysian with knowledge and knows how to present in detail.. very meticulous, and superb review⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I actually watched an Hour of a Malaysian made review, very very rare.. or you could say, for the 1st time in my life...
I have the same brake rebound noise issue on my X70 that Hafriz shown about the Autohold function towards the end. SC said Proton is aware, but currently offers no fixes yet. Apparently it has to do with the master brake pump on CKD models. Please share the fix Hafriz when it’s available
The brake sound that you discovered (the last issue in this video) is also experienced in the x70 whereby when you step on the brake after releasing the throttle. Did you experience it while testing the x70? I do feel that every time i drive the car.
3-cylinder engines are not only imbalanced because of their arrangement of cylinders. It is also the firing order, there is a period of time within the combustion cycle where there are no power stroke, whereas in a 4 or more cylinder engine, there is always a power stroke somewhere. But I guess explaining it in this 1 hour review will be too lengthy already. :P Kudos to the great review! Hope Proton can really fix all the little nuggets of issues for an otherwise perfect B segment SUV.
I've sat in the car at proton showroom, the centre console is quite too high, costing elbow room for bigger and taller drivers (I'm 6 ft 2 and 220lbs). But the quality of the interior is miles away from its competitors of the same price point. The blue color is really amazing in the flesh compared to the red.
My last 2 car purchase in 2009. Now planning to get new car for 21 year old boy (X50 or City or Yaris). Wow .. so many car reviewers now. Keep it up guys .. to all reviewers .. in all 3 languages .. guys and girls too. I wonder why car dealers willing to loan out test car to so many reviewers ..
This is by far the best review. Very honest and thorough review. Thanks Hafriz Shah. Oh ya is the adas system in Hyundai Ioniq considered a level 2 autonomous driving?
Thanks! The Ioniq isn't quite Level 2, and it uses an older version of a lane keep assist system that just bounces off road lanes instead of actively staying in between them
@@paultanautonews 😂😂😂 then it's definitely an useless function to owners in east Malaysia. I believe it will confuse when running over roads with old and new lane marks superimposed.
good review with pros and cons. one thing though, the engine vibration is pretty obvious when trying to accelerate from low speed in sport mode. when cruising normally, pretty quiet & smooth. DCT is a nice one. not as aggressive as one from VW but smooth but i think the dct is nicely mated to the engine (nice one proton + geely)
I did test drive both X50 and X70 last week. X50. V comfortable in KL traffic. I have short legs and long back so front seat design was perfec for me. Noticed t L wing mirror constraint. Punchy and smooth over t short distances available. Not lkg for t sunroof so happy w t Premium spec. Only serious negative was rear seats vv firm 4/10. X70 came poor second.
Hi Hafriz ! Do update us if you have found a fix on the brake clicking sound during traffic jam assist. It always feels like something is hitting something and it’s bound to break soon. Anxious! By the way, excellent video of great attention to details!
Wonder after 2 years, have Proton solved the main issue he explained during Traffic Jam assist brake sound and Auto Hold pedal sound ? Anyone can advise from a owner's point ?
Hi Paul, re your feedback on the "annoying" brake clicking sound during autohold and release operations, i reckon it has to do with solenoid engagement/disengagement of the actuator mechanism for the brakes. Please advise if I'm correct.

Very honest review. Thanks 😊
Still cant believed that i watched 1hr review of a proton car 😂 good job PT
He's doing a very good job, as he said, Proton had more than a thousand hrs of testing but the brakes system do not give confident at all.... LOL

Finally, car critique & not just catalogue-reading. Need more of the same.

This is the most honest and professional car review I've ever watched, very good job Hafriz Shah, and Paul Tan

Well done, bro!!! You caught my attention the whole hour!
I sure hope they try to fix them!
Thanks man
This review is a whole lot better than a genting run.. Can't believe I actually watched most of this video. Appreciate the homework done and the professionalism...
Agreed. We buy the car for daily use, not to go genting everyday
@@myownmyown3617 mind you, there are people working in genting that lives at batang kali. So don't claim "We" for everyone else
This is the first time i've watched 1 hour car review...very entertaining and informative..kudos to hafriz and pt teams
Thanks! My first time doing a 1hr review too. The first cut was actually 20 minutes longer 🤣
Not planning to buy this car but enjoyed the review by Hafriz. Honest, no bias. That’s what we want to see. One of his best if not his best presentation to date. Well done.
I have to say that this is the BEST review of X50 among the rest out there, did not regret spending an hr watching this.

Finally a proper walk through of the x50. Thanks alot sir 👌✨
Excellent review Hafriz Shah. Most detailed car review I've seen. But that's the excitement our home grown cars bring.
The longest 1 car review video ever produced by Hafriz.... Could not believe.
That's properly done, mate. 👏🏼👏🏼 Very detailed, easy to navigate and replay certain parts. Appreciate the pros and cons views.

Don’t call it vibration, but an engine character with a soul 😊
Thorough, I wish this kind of review had been available for my latest new car
What is your new car?
Damn, proton should paid money for you to test drive their new car during development to find out any potential issues or any chances for improvement.
Hope u r able to do this kind of review for future cars
Good review 👍Very fair and honest feedbacks about the car. Keep it up!
Fantastic review of the X50. To end the already wasted year 2020! Nailed each point objectively.
Great review..so much info in this one hour video..good job PT team
Superb comprehensive review. Excellent job Hafriz!

Excellent Hafriz and your Paul Tan buddy. You bring Malaysian Car Review to another level.

Hi Hafriz ! Do update us if you have found a fix on the brake clicking sound during traffic jam assist. It always feels like something is hitting something and it’s bound to break soon. Anxious!
By the way, excellent video of great attention to details!
Has proton addressed the sound from the A pillar, side mirror and clicking sound from the brakes system ?
Kudos.. U done a great job for car reviews.
Wonder after 2 years, have Proton solved the main issue he explained during Traffic Jam assist brake sound and Auto Hold pedal sound ? Anyone can advise from a owner's point ?
Hi Paul, re your feedback on the "annoying" brake clicking sound during autohold and release operations, i reckon it has to do with solenoid engagement/disengagement of the actuator mechanism for the brakes.
Please advise if I'm correct.
