Car - 2015 Proton Suprima-S GXR
I purchased this car (5-door hatchback) brand new in 2015, while living in Sydney (still have the original purchase papers) and 3 years later (in 2018), I returned home to New Zealand and brought the car with me. At that stage, it had only done 10,000km. (I lived next door to my workplace).
It has now done 37,700km. (genuine)
The Proton Suprima-S GXR has a turbo 1.6L. engine, 7-speed CVT automatic gears, plus sports mode and paddle gears, Lotus handling/suspension, auto headlights, auto windscreen wipers, infotainment system, leather seats, reversing camera and front sensors as well and loads more features.etc.
Features of the GXR are best summarised in the attached infomercial video link: youtu.be...
Obviously the warranty described on this infomercial has expired.
The Micro-SD card slot (which housed the NZ/AU GPS navigation micro-SD card) became faulty and was taken out by a local auto-electrician. Replacement slot can be ordered from the Malaysia infotainment manufacturer apparently (I have the contact details). so at present, the GPS Sat-Nav. not working, but ALL other features of the infotainment system (as described in the infomercial) are working well (eg: Android, WiFi, bluetooth, DVD/CD player, radio, etc.). Overall, really great car, excellent road hugging and sporty as well as comfortable. Never had any problems with it and regularly serviced. Just had a new W.O.F. and service done (June 2022).

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
