The problem with reading some online comments is that it's pretty hard to get a real lock on the actual statistics. Even owners doesn't know if it happens to one percent or less.

The other perspective are, how many confirmed owners ditch the ride and move on to something else due to issues?

Anyway if you have doubt.... Don't do it man. Not worth the trouble. Besides Malaysian are not exactly objective when it comes to proton if shit happens.

damn.. so cheap.. the used preve premium 2014 i bought on last year cost me 41k.

fuel consumption is very high. thats true~

haha.. nice car. mine one very lousy noice insulation.. guess the insulator wear down over time.. if drive fast can hear wind sound.

but handling and space is very good. can attack downhill in karak-gombak @ >100 kmh at those very steep corner (with PS4 tyre).

so far i torture the car on highway (ram engine up to 5-6K rpm few seconds.. no issue on gearbox yet).

for fuel comsumption.. is really in different world if compared to civic 1.5t. normally around 8-9 L/100km mixed drive. but i didnt bother as my petrol can be claim from company.

haha. maintenance ah.. a bit tricky.. last time i used to go one of the dealer service center and get con. the money get conned sufficient for the next service.

if normal maintenance. is ok (not too expensive, and not too cheap) luckly so far didnt have those OCH and gearbox problem (used for 1year 3 months already). (if not gg, need to fork out huge money for it).

so.. its good to know the owner of the car that you want to purchase..so that you know whats problem with the car... if you bought the one got burst OCH history.. most likely the oil cooling assembly has clogged up aldy one or there is sludge inside the engine aldy..

need to be very careful when choose the used car. Last time mine one is used by proton COE shah alam, luckly they do all the maintenance  following schedule, so no pain in the ass.
