looks like all here are good in poisoning.........i better stayed out hehehe

What to do, i hate jam...so better get AT... But I missed my "manual day"

my wife drive MT car, I drive AT

Hehe, I'm still "immune" to all poison. Now have extra protection from the poison (hint:my wife )

Hi guys,

I am planning to buy a waja cps AT. Ordered the car from the mutiara damansara showroon since last month 13th or so and paid the booking fees but until now also no news from them.

Then went to the the mofaz authorized dealer in taman tun. The SA there told me can get the car quite fast, max wait for 2 weeks. Don't know now want to get from who


Waited so long for the car, now felt like want to change to honda city or toyota vios.... and not to mention after reading through the threads, waja cps seems suffer quite a number of issue.


So want to ask all the waja cps owner here, is the car worth buying? or the money can be better spent elsewhere. My friend had been brainwashing me to get better cars

hi lexasp,
Unfortunate 4 u still not get the car yet.
Mine only 9 day from the day i book till got the car, proton edar plentong JB. The key is, call ur SA twice a day, till he fed up with u. Hehe, it's our money we paying rite?
Em, i can't say much if u can afford for a 'better car'.
But for me, at rm60k, i got all around leather seat and door trim, leather wrap steering, xenon HID, ride comfort, generous internal cabin space, responsive engine, it worth buying Waja Cps, let alone the poor internal part fitting (glove box), 'ek ek' sound of front fender.
I think 4 all the goodies u got in Waja, u got to pay rm85k for Vios (forgot s or g series) and 90k for city.
It's my little tought only, just for sharing.

Being said a better car....that term is subjective. There is also a lot to consider when purchasing one~ If you get a City or Vios then the installments would hurt you every month. Has anyone read the forums on the City and Vios? Those have it's fair share of problems. You are buying a car to be used for a long time~ it is not like you use it a couple of months then get a new one right?

It is because you ordered a specific color which they do not have? If you choose from watever color they have in stock then you can get it much faster.
As for me, in comparison between my father's vios dugong and waja cps, i dont think it is worth paying the extra 20k. The interior of waja cps feels even more luxurious than the vios. Of course there are some minor issues with the waja cps, but let me warn you that the current quality of toyota cars are not that great either especially those CKD and made in Thai.. The only real winning point for the Dugong is the engine..damn fuel efficient..AT fuel consumption can be as low as RM0.11/km for highway cruising as compared to my manual cps..RM0.13/km.

Not too sure about the current honda City though

if you afford for less problems car then you should go for it. I'm wondering when you pay the deposit don't they told you how long it will ready? About your friend brainwashing activities, you need to ask yourself how many types of car he/she own before and what technical aspect that worth you to consider the car he/she recomended.

Yeah, so maybe I will get it from another proton authorized dealer instead, the SA that works in another proton dealer outlets says that he can get me the car max 2 weeks and the best part is he don't need to collect any booking fees for me. Not to mention he also gave me better promotion

hm... the fender sound can fix?

Yeah, I wanted a long term car, that's why hope that I invested in the right car. Vios or city is within my affordable ranges, but at times like this seriously I would really prefer to keep more money in my pocket.


I think they only left the blue color which looks very disgusting, so I rather wait for other colours. Thanks for comparison.

true...and why the heck u want eat, but others ppl choose meal 4 u... broo choose car that can fulfill ur need n suit ur monthly instalment/maintenance lah...dont tink bout that thing..this thing..till end of days u wont buy car lorr..if u keep thinkin2..

pst: Waja cps better

Totally agree with you.... and yes Waja CPS is more fun to drive

wja cps 10k d/pymnt = rm600++/month
vios or city 10k d/pymnt =rm800++/month
monthly diff = rm200
monthly diff you can put in your fuel expenses
so FC is same laa..or even more untung

btw, on quality issue
just sharing my xperience
i'm not sure about the waja cps problem..
my bro new T altis also get prob when he received his car
rear trunk cannot close after open in first day received n rear right suspension sound 'ngek ngek' in uneven road so annoying

I thought "ngek-ngek" sound was exclusively just for proton cars

My passanger side window 'drop' this morning. Spent 2 hours at SC fixing it (FOC). But still love my car so much...

About the Vios/City vs Waja CPS, do ask at the respective car thread. Lots of info. But the best way is to test drive all these car and choose the one that suited YOUR driving style, not someone else.

hehe
btw, just imaging the solution of the 'ngek ngek' sound in altis is swap in new suspension and sound gone..
this is big prob lor unlike minor solution for proton cars
my fren work at T SC say many same case for altis lor
he oso said many overheat case for new camry
T not high quality enuf

If you're considering for long term car while vios and city in your list, must as well u consider Latio hatchback? It's a great car buddy.

Added on June 12, 2009, 7:36 pmthat's why i always use the terms "less problem car".....

The difference is Jap car maker rectified the problem fast and do call back. While Proton is let the problem there for ages before they recitified or even never bother to rectified.

100++?isit price 100k++?
100K price d/pymnt 12k min interest 2% max 9yrs i think monthly about 900++
how 700++

guys, i just wanna ask this. my gen-2 cps AT cruising at 100kmh with the rpm at 3k. *autocruise mode* . Is it the same with the rest if u cps users? cos i think it's quite high, it should be less than 3k.

btw, im going for my 1000km service tomorrow. hehe cant wait to rev hard after the service !

mrjgx,
Below is the waja cps review done by paultan.

"The other interesting fact that we noticed was the cruising engine rpm at cruising speeds. The CPS allows the engine to cruise at 2,000rpm at speeds of 80km/h and approximately 3,000rpm at 110km/h.
This is similar to the cruising speeds of most 2.0 litre cars with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed auto transmission. Smaller engines tend to cruise around 2700rpm at 80km/h. Low engine speeds are beneficial because it allows for improvement in fuel economy and comfort."

so, think it's quite tailly with the review. maybe after ur first service, ur cruising speed can a bit higher.
yours Gen2 cps HL AT right (got autocruise)? its kerb weight is 1245kg while the waja cps drove by paultan is MT with kerb weight of 1215kg only. so u'll cruise a little slower than the waja MT at 3k rpm.

It's my little tought only, just for sharing.

Aiyoo..you always winding down your windows?
