Not all Proton car had prob. It just if you unlucky, you might getting lemon car.
This theory was applied to any car regardless with brand.
And buying 2nd hand car always risky no matter what brand you gonna buy soon.
If seller is your relative or friend, it should be better.

Agree.

Have you ever heard of a problematic nissan sunny?

My friend bought one.

Always in the workshop.

He is not the rich type so in the end he left it at the workshop cause no money.

This was early 2000. I was not interested incars back then. So i don't know what was the problem.

Nissan sylphy also has mouting problems. I spoke to 2 owners. 1 was a taxi driver who had to change every 2-3 years and the other a friend who still had it under warranty so they replaced it free for him.

So not only proton has these problems.


Added on April 14, 2012, 1:03 pmCheck the manual and it measures if you drive at 90km/h and you can get good mileage.

I drove at 110km/h on my wife's person for 200km and when i fill in the tank, i needed aroung RM 20++

When i drive the car at 150km/h at certain parts of the road for 200km, it took more than rm 35.

This was on a highway. Same highway.

i also have some minor creaking noises inside the cabin. so far, no other noises.

as i have mentioned earlier, my car does have some mods. this is because i wanted to rid the car of the slight dip in low end torque. while the cps had eliminated most of the torque dip, it is still there. the mods have eliminated it and i now have much better low end acceleration all the way to the mid range BUT i have lost top end kick. so, from 150kph till top speed, it is not as punchy as before and i have lost about 10kph from my top end. so, no more 195kph runs.

i agree with bro cmi.. i own new neo cps for 7 months already but there's no problem at all. Fuel cosumption, of course high. i'm a heavy right footer and this explains why my neo has bad FC. hehe.. last 3 weeks bought a new vios for my wife. this car gives me headache. On the delivery day i noticed that the rear left seat belt is not functioning and the SA said this can be replace on my first service. ok i'll accept it. then that night is raining and i stop at petronas station went to the toilet. when came back to my car and notice that the headlamp is fogging. WTF.. new car already have this problem. some more on both headlamp. this really pissed me off. called that SA again and he advised me to complain to the service center. the day after, i sent my wife to work and this is the part that i dislike the most that is the rattling sound came from the dashboard. i sent to SC and they said the dashboard is fixed but after 2 hours of driving from the SC the rattle sound starts again, the rear seat belt need to wait and the headlamp need to wait. Is this the outcome that people said toyata is a problem free car? i don't think so. for me it depends on your luck. so stop bashing proton's car. they are not bad actually. don't think that 'T' and 'H' is a problem free car.
I'm not a proton or toyota fan. Just to share my experience.
