Plus their plat have 2 color where 1 you can drive car on day/night time and another one you can drive on night only... heheh... no matter how much you complaining on PROTON they still selling old piece of junk.. fragile car.. auto breakable car… plastic engine…

Some of their dealer received all the downpayment of customers but not supply the cars. Finally the dealer run away and bankrupt but Proton edar even not to take responsibility because of their stupid mistake appointment of fake-dealers. Most accident die in Malaysia is because of the rubbish car (steel is not hard enough because cut cost), if you appreciated your life buy another car.

He bought the car, first hand in 2004. after 5 years the car has no problem at all. The car has high mileage due to frequent use (a sacrifice car, cause it's a proton). Still no major problem. Everything is functioning well.. My sister is driving a 13 year old WIRA, bought in 1996, formerly driven by my mother, also, no mechanical problem halting the car.My family has been keeping the car due to sentimental value. So i guess, regular inspection of the car, and how rough you treat your car is the determinant affecting the problem occurring towards the car.

Some kind of chocolate brand? Well, i think proton is a fragile cars. Bought a satria at the end of 2007, There are lot of problems that i encounter such as Window problem(change motor 2 times,still freaking broke), standard alarm problem, water pump problem, door handle problem, lock problem, right arm problem, engine overhaul last month but still got problem, and many more. when i get to buy a new car soon, i will just dump my proton in the halfcut. I'm so sure nobody will buy my proton. Do you? What is proton? Some kind of chocolate brand?

Gen2 is my own .. basically that car .. dont get me started.... makes a sound when i turn the steering wheel full ( according to Proton mechanics: mmg macam itu ). Power window failure ( Classic Proton ) .. now the car .. i am not sure the disc brake is making such a racket when i drive .. i am so embarrassed. Age of the damn car: 2 years old. I drive it only within the city. Maybe the most is an hour per day. And one look at the interior inside, paying 60k+ for a plastic interior car .. that's the best i can afford at the time i bought it... my next car, WONT be a Proton ... even Perodua rocks ... Why foreign car more expensive ... because the government knows that if they dont heavily tax the imported cars, Proton would be closed down faster than you can blink your eye.

Even now they said proton price will drop due on oil problem (of stuppppid pak lah!!) but only drop 2-3 hundreds.. really pity on you… you know. if government dont put high tax on car. probably proton no more. not because we do not support malaysian product but they only put the quantity as first priority, second design, quality is lasttttt… my friend owned nissan sunny (i think < 1990) until now never had any minor or major problem.

This car sux big time! Here are my list of problems: Power window - 3 times repair, all on driver side. Starter - Die out with only 20,000 km on the odometer. Just a week before the starter dies, my clutch springs broke off - need to replace the whole clutch. This is unimaginable as my car was practically new at that time (Odometer reading around 20,000 km). EON refused to replace it on warranty as clucth is not covered in their warranty. Interior light switch - replaced under warranty Hazard light switch - replaced under warranty Now my car clocked more than 80,000 km. New problems arised Clicking noise whenever I turn the wheel. My mechanic "pecah kepala" trying to find the source of the problem. Unsolved till now. Steering bush pecah already. Will change it ASAP Starter is on the way out - again. I never skip servicing this car. For 2 years under warranty, I only service my car at EON service centre. After my warranty expired, I sent it to non-EON service centre, however, I faithfully followed the recommended services prescribed in the service booklet.
