is proton really unrealiable as said by malaysian people? ecspecially after persona and preve.or is it our mindset that proton means bad quality? does the parts really dont last long? should proton be removed from consideration from buying cars? people who own persona and preve can shed some light on this issue?

U just landed in malaysia is it?

because i have never personally driven one,none of my family members own one and the people who own one never have complained to me. thats why wana hear it from proton owners

rich pipul spotted

my dad drives corolla ke30 and my bro drives corolla ae101.

which car doesn't have problems? proton car is not bad la, jz qc an issue. but not everybody so lucky, go visit the car club threads and see how active proton users are

Waa old school la ur family

drifter! hahaha nway, it depends la..lots of proton on the road, of course logically lots of complaints.

thats a logical point.. drifter? haha

Yea, Proton cars not that bad but the QC suck only. There are alot imperfection Proton cars escaped from their QC. My friend taking the new Saga 1.3 having some roof problem where rain water will leaking into car cabin while my ex colleague's Persona get a defect alternator which his alternator spoilt after just 3 months.
Some who are lucky, they never have any issue with Proton car...
Well, buying Proton car is like a betting, there are high chances you will bought a defect car. Of course SC will replace and fix for you but there is imperfection already....

As a car its okay but because of the qc issue, small little things might give problem such as noise, leak rattling. Other car also have these issue especially japanese car but it won't be as bad as proton. In the early stage the problem might seem small to be ignored but later on it'll get worse if it doesn't be fixed. Another issue is with their official service center. Totally inefficient. Other than those, yeah, still drivable and purchasable if not opting for much higher range cars.

i owned both persona elegance and preve

qc suck is true. but spec good is also true price cheap is also true

even everymonth i go fix car also cheaper thn toyota

They are not unreliable..but the quality sucks. 2003 vios also more solid than proton whatever model..

im driving an 11 years old proton waja and it serves me well... didn't give me much problem.. =D

Well like any other product, a car is only as good as it's quality, isn't it? No matter how good the design & specs are but if built with crappy quality then it is indeed a bad car.

the car price in malaysia is very expensive to own if compare with GDP...
there is a good reason why people looking for japanese car rather than local proton.

buying a proton car is a betting game, but who the hell wish to bet with your hard earn money when the responsibilities of having a good quality and reliable car is with proton them self.

The only dragging point of proton is their qc

proton should hire people with OCD to work in their qc line

+1

Well, Lamborghini has a bit of a reputation... not that reliable.







Just to show a few.

So are they bad cars?

I'm sure Proton could improve their QC... but that will cost money. Money that people are not willing to pay, cause it's a Proton. It has to be cheap. I remember reactions to the Preve pricing, saying it is too expensive. Seriously?
