Power window all proton user will experience one lar, I think there is no need to mention anymore. It will still be the same after 10 or even 20 years since proton is so pampered.

My wira 1.6 (a) xli is ok at high speed and stable in cornering. Nyek nyek sound come out from everywhere and I wont care for it as I know proton wont stop giving u troubles.

Damn angry with proton after i spent big money on throttle body. All wira users that i know already change it. The car age range from 3-7 years, meaning from the creation of wira until now last 3 years stupid proton didnt improve at all.

Btw, talking bout performance, pickup so so only. compared to my mother's 14 year-old Corrola SEG 1.6 (M), my wira is like shit.

IMO wira is for auntie driving to pasar buy sayur only.
In conclusion, i am ashamed to have bought a wira.

The best is don't buy malaysian made car...Yes,they are cheap...But then soon u will suffer from many problem

I guess I'am quite lucky as for my 3 yrs plus wira 1.3 A/B never ever experiencing any power window breakdown. I've never need to open my car's door just to pay the toll and maybe some owner love to pay toll by open their doors no matter what car they drive.
Anyway about the throttle body, I had it been cleaned for two times already. The aircond problems that haunted my car since the first year ownership had gone after exchanging the aircond sensors. Its try and error of few wannabe mechanics and some cheater. Talk so loud but empty.
The latest changes is the starter motor. Change it for RM130.00, my friend told me that it is a recond unit.
Well, buying a wira is an experience to get to know a good mechanics and also some of technical things about car. Its love and hate relationship with the car. Love for its spaciousness, easy and cheap maintenance, and easy to find the spare part, mostly 'taiwan mali'.
Hate it for slow pick up and some rattling sound from the dashboard.
Conclusion, a so so car, economical to run and never expecting any Honda, Toyota and Nissan feel good. Just accept it as it is at my income level.
Adios.

MY Experience with my 1.3(m) a/b. Pick-up like mak cik walking, Go over bump must be slower than snail, Power window must change every two years. Other than that, top speed can reach 170km/h, must wait quite a while, FC so so only. Oh, one more thing , Proton didn't install RPM meter !!!!!!
But one thing i can say, its better than a Gen.2 (interior & space) !!!


Mod applied : 4.2.1 exhaust system.

RPM (tachometer) is on 1.5 and 1.6 but not 1.3


Well spaciousness is the only thing i love bout wira. "easy and cheap maintenance" for many times also become not cheap not easy already.
Eg. Power windows, central lock, throttle body, tangki, air con compressor. Ppl with normal luck will have to change these things twice or more in 10 years time.

Japanese car wont have the same problem in more than one generation of product, whereas Proton think it is their "identity" to keep the problems for wira for 10 years without rectifying it. Wira/Iswara are longest-selling model in the world i think, facelift also takde.

Anyway conclusively still feel ashamed driving a wira, but no choice wit my income level. If i were to choose again, i would rather spend a little more for 2nd hand jap car.

Agree non-proton users are less knowledgeable compared to proton user as they dun have to worry so much bout fixing their cars.

Well, I don't think so Wira is really much spacious...it is right if you refer to Vios, Altis..no comment since I did not observe carefully but definitely not for City..


I previously drove Wira 1.3GLi and now driving Honda City, so obviously City cabin is much more spacious than Wira, needless to mention about City's luggage trunk yet.

Well, if you are driving Wira 1.3GLi, better watchout cause if you do read your car manual, the car max speed is 145km/h. If you speed up to 160km/h...it might damage your engine and it is gonna cost you dearly..

Thanks for the reminder as I seldom speed up to that level. Usual and comfortable pace at highway around 110 -120km/h. Anyone think of replacing the engine with 1.5 or 1.6, is it better in term of FC and pick up.

Well.. I recently got a Wira in august for myself, but I opted for no power window and alarm cause I know this is a problematic area for Proton. I fixed power window, tinted, alarm, soundproofed and added other stuff and it still costed me less than a Wira with full accessories!!
Apart, no major isues with my Wira! quite content

GUys,

Anybody tried to Mod the Wira's meter?
As for the old meter, its all white mar..including the hands.
So is it possible to change/Paint the Hands color ar?

Plan to do it red.

Wats a better option?

note: not bashing, coz i drive one myself

juz now while on my way back near my house there was accident between a wira and a bmw 3 series. the wira front part 70% gone and the bmw juz some slight dents on the bumper. i was like WTF?!! neways, no bad meaning here juz feel like telling it.

p/s : if u guys want me to remove it, its ok with me, can edit it anytime.

Planing to do engine transplant to 1.5 ! 1.3 really no Oomph lar !!!
Btw, really feeling to get a RPM meter !!! But so far the price is not sastifying yet !!! Anyone knows how far can a Wira's engine being push to ??? I mean how many thousand RPM.
