\nAs I was talking about how our family has outgrown our car<\/a>. I am very honored to have been offered a Proton Exora for the weekend, a VIP test drive. I used it to run my daily errand (marketting, shopping, 1 trip to the kindergarten and 1 trip to the primary school), and here is my experience with the car.<\/p>\n

\"Proton(The car that I had for the weekend)<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not a technical person when it comes to car. If you talk to me about engines, torque, performance of a car, don\u2019t blame me if you see me looking bored. What is important to me is what the car can do for me, as a mother, as a woman.<\/p>\n

I find Exora to be one of the best MPV around, its design is very practical, it takes into consideration the various needs of Malaysian women or mothers.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s the key that can trigger the honk remotely! For a forgetful person like me, it’s very useful for me when I\u2019d forgotten where I parked. Oh, and it can also be used to sound out an alarm if we\u2019re in trouble\/danger.
\n\"Proton<\/p>\n

I love the car boot. So spacious! It means it has plenty of room to carry my shopping when I go to the market. And when the family goes on a holiday, there\u2019s more than enough room for our bags!<\/p>\n

\"Proton<\/p>\n

The car has the flexibility to turn into 7, 6, 5, 4, 2 passenger mode with a few easy pulls or clicks. Even a car-dummy like me could adjust the seats myself. <\/p>\n

Click. The boot in 6-seater mode. With 1 of the seats on the last row collapsed.
\n\"Proton <\/p>\n

Click, and it turned into 5 passenger mode
\n\"Proton<\/p>\n

Another click, and 1 of the 2nd row seats is lifted, easy for the person on the 3rd row to disembark, and also provide a longer boot space.
\n\"ProtonI’m even thinking, we can bring our bicycles to parks like Lake Gardens, Bukit Cherakah with all these extra space created by these easily collapsable seats!<\/p>\n

Unlike some MPV where the 3rd row is super narrow, there’s still leg room at the Exora 3rd row! Girls were delighted to be seated there to allow the in-laws to be on the 2nd row.
\n\"Proton<\/p>\n

I love the front seat, spacious, and with each seat has its own arm rest!
\n\"Proton<\/p>\n

Seats on the 2nd row can be reclined! The girls love it, becasue now, they can recline their seats when they are tired and needed a rest.
\n\"Proton<\/p>\n

I have no problem installing 2 car seats in the car, and still leave room for other passengers. And if the girls are not getting along, we can always separate them to reduce friction.
\n\"Proton<\/p>\n

Wonderful isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

There are other little things which also delight me. <\/p>\n

There 2 glove compartments! Alright! 1 can be for the manual (Daddy’s section), and another for my things (my section)! CDs, Sunglasses? And included is also a little hook for me to hang my packed lunch or breakfast.
\n\"Proton<\/p>\n

And the best is the adjustable speed built-in aircon ventilation at the 2nd and the 3rd row. For the girls who always have different demands, one complains “I’m cold ma.”<\/span> another complains “But, I’m hot!”<\/span>; I can tell them to adjust their own ventilation themselves! They can solve their own problem and have controls over their own ‘aircon’.
\n\"Proton<\/p>\n

What the kids like most about the car?
\nZara the sociable one said, \u201cI like the 3 sections (3 rows). It\u2019s very nice because, now we can invite a lot of people into the car.
\nZaria the wise one said, \u201cThe TV! I like it. And it\u2019s very big (the car). So many seats. And there\u2019s arm rest in the front!\u201d<\/p>\n

See them in action.<\/p>\n

The Primary school gang, so engrossed with the TV.
\n\"Proton<\/p>\n

The bags. Lots of room even in 6 passenger mode.
\n\"Proton<\/p>\n

The kindergarten gang, who chose to sit on separate rows.

By the way, if you are not my regular reader and do not know my girls are 4 and 6, which explains the way the car seats (front facing) are installed in my car, take note of the below :<\/p>\n

According to Dr Ng Lai Oon, Clinical Psychologist from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), for children below the age of 18 months, they should ride in a rear-facing car safety seat.<\/p>\n

Make sure you install your car seat the right way for proper safety measure.<\/p>\n
