Still cant believed that i watched 1hr review of a proton car 😂 good job PT

[Jazhiero]

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!

[ljkwong]

Initially i thought this gonna be an hour of boring x50 review but hey, i watched till the end. Good job!

[syukridesa]

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

[ledhippo]

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.

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

[Kiwie-gdlg]

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!

[wfsiew]

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

[PrimeV]

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.

[XHYCoffee]

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...

[laikf]

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.

[shahanumjohari]

This is the first time i've watched 1 hour car review...very entertaining and informative..kudos to hafriz and pt teams

[farulg]

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!

[iskandarockazzikr]

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.

[muhammadsyawaladam]

I promised to hafriz that I will watch it till the end😂😂😂(comment before watching)

[ksy]

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.

[xeonjye]

Finally Hafriz's review is here~ The sincere review from an owner's view.

[ahirulahirudin]

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.

[clementcwl]

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!

[farouqjohari]

I can't believe this one hour of a Proton X50 review does not feel boring at all. Great job! 🎉
