it depends on which batch. if not mistaken the latest wira aeroback has a 4 speed auto so its possible. i had an old wira 1.5 auto to. it was a carb engine and hell its sucks twice the petrol compared to my old nissan blue bird 2.0 on a single journey from KL to Ipoh.

The car is nice to mod but on the long run, it's a nightmare. i hate the 3 speed auto transmission. yes, it's good around city drives but when you're travelling at high speed. the scream of the engine makes your deaf. not to mention there was once i over heated the whole engine when i strike 140 km for more than 20 minutes. reving i think almost reaching 6 rpm. have to stop and cool down the car at the petrol station. wasted the time on the journey. personally if you want to get such car, get a manual. they have least such problem.

another thing i notice that the bonet tends to rust upon time. proton has come up with a niffty anti rust feature. yes, it won't rust for the first 5 years, but after that it will. compared to foreign cars. malaysian manufactures like to coat the cars with thick layers of coating. this means no means of water sipping through the layers of metal turning it to rust. but after years of weatering, coats of paint will eventually lose to weathering. and water sipped into the metals will be trapped by the think coatings. thus result in ugly humps.

its not like i like to condemn on local manufaturers. personally i love their human interaction design ( controls, sterring and dashboard design) but there are lots of room for development esp on safety and reliablity of the machine.

Local cars are good esp they are cheap in replacement parts
