@dares made a good point. Protons are generally good/reliable when it comes to major components ie. engine & gearbox. Barring its odd models (tiara/savvy/juara) & newer turbocharged vehicles, most complaints are actually non-threatening 'minor' problems ie. plastic rattles, shitty interiors, build quality.

Maybe because they were payed peanuts? Kidding bro

On a serious note, the 'class' of the driver (reflected by on-the-road manners for example) is more important than the class of the car. Yesterday alone, i encountered Q7 doing dangerous illegal u-turn at traffic light, Alphard double parking. These people are low class in spite the cars they drive. A person driving Persona who drives & parks considerately is the one of higher class and deserves respect.

Bullies? Really? Maybe unintentional. Because due to DRL, easily seen closing in fast from rear-view mirror.

Proton say the same thing... well, almost. 'Smart guys get Inspira'

So which car have enough class to race you with?

Got.... many. Not mansion lah but okay financially. At least among my closer friends lah.

When we go TT, all park cheap 'low class' car.

Yup, the problem here @darkcity is your prejudice. Then you call them butthurt some more. You have to realize that some choose proton not because cannot afford or low class. Even for someone high class like me (walao weh), given the choice, I'd pick the Inspira over Vios/Cruze/Forte. If it comes this, due to your insistance on class, then I have to say something about the Cruze (one of @darkcity's car), Chevy Cruze is a true sheep. Garang face (esp. the SE version) but underpowered, so-so handling, korean pretending to be conti. Inspira better.
