i own persona

previously drive wira and perdana

Proton car, sini bunyi sana bunyi, bunyi bunyi everywhere.

but i don't really care because i am driving, not like i am studying for exam and i need a quiet environment. turn on the radio and you can hardly hear any noise liao but normally i don't on radio anyway.

for the 10+ years of driving proton car. i got these problem

wira (year 1997)
1) power window failed 2x.
2) gearbox failed 1x Jerking jerking onli. not breakdown. it aged nearly 10 years that time. family car
3) engine top overhaul when aged 11.
4) alternator kong <- tis one workshop problem. no check properly
5) brake oil leaking <- tis one workshop problem oso. I told them leaking liao. they check then say no problem arrrr, very perfect. perfect mah arse, after 1 week it suddently leak everything out.

perdana v6 (year roughly 2002 i think)
1) gearbox kong after 7 years old. After intense google-ing can conclude, workshop and my own problem oso. perdana gearbox should change filter more often. they never know anything about the filter.
2) timing gear chip. donno what happen really.
3) aTF fluid completely leak. The workshop problem again. they say they saw liao the hose bengkak during my last service. i ask them why never inform me? they say still can use mar. Hose baru RM20+, towing car RM200+
4) power window failed initially. then found out actually is the rubber sticking the window becase long time no open.

persona (year 2010)
1) battery kong in slightly 1 year +. breakdown in basement parking. workshop no check lagi
2) vibrating noise from air vent.
3) rough aircon compressor. aircon pomen say compressor kong liao. thats like half year ago. but till now still kicking cold.

basically proton have no major problem, it is a very direct problem like this problem you change this part. mostly are because workshop didnt check properly and lack of owner knowledge on car. thats why starting with my own buy persona, i reasearch as much information i can to prevent any breakdown.

compare to some other foreign car, some can't be solve till they sell the car. will i buy proton again, yeah sure I will, for this segment/price range. it's the most affordable good handling car. not to mentioned, cheap parts and service.
