Waja 1.8 is a different engine from 1.6 variant. Spare parts may cost more than 1.6 (not sure by how many % more, prolly 30-50%?). Proton 1.8 owners can clarify?
Some defects might be commonly known, surf for forums if really intrested in waja and the diff between 1.6 & 1.8. The price of 1.8 is same or cheaper than 1.6 of the same year.
Either go Jap or Waja 1.6. Jap less % see mechanic, Waja need more care for minor problems (Powa window, door handles, etc.). These days buy car cannot see resale value, volatile and going down fast. Today it sells for 40k next year it may sell at 25k.
Low milage also cannot gauge unless confirm service booklet match, if not usually tampered with, also no point.
Summary - Buy cheap, maintain cheap, loan 3 years. Saves lots of hassle and heartache.
Maintain gf asso not that susah LOL
1.6 road tax also <rm100.

Waja so far only have minor problems that I think is not that important like PW or door handle. Anyway they already got those steel kinda PW to replace the old version 1 with pvc/plastic(dono wad lah) which the mechanic told me that wont bring any problem anymore after u change to that new pw.
sumtimes u have to be luck also. thanks for the headsup.

i vote for waja 1.6(A)
i heard some ppl said that maintenance for a waja is not cheap, but i feel that it's going to be cheaper than a peugeot or honda car anyway.
true, malaysian car maintenance sure cheaper.

Actually Waja is quite cheap to maintain if you know where to service. Dad just changed 4 mountings cos around RM430+ with workmanship. But seriously, so fast it was gone, 2 years+ and 3 out of 4 are gone case, feels like you're driving a moving OSIM
List of problems 1.6(A) so far fixed:
- 2 PW problem (motor replaced, PW switchboard replaced), passanger side very loud when opening.
- 2 suspension at the back (1 set)
- Mountings (1 set - 4 biji)
- 2 Lower arm at the back
- Side mirror paint chipped off (known issue) - did not repaint
- Door handles 3 out of 4 broken (replaced)
Age of car: 3 years old+
Other than that, good handling but noisy interior due to engine sound all transfer into cabin. Was worse off when the mounting died. Overall rating, a cheap good car from point A to B and need a little more attention due to minor problems. Need to see mechanic once a month to fix these little rascals. Now probably less like maybe 2 months once.
cheap meh? saga or wira cheaper.
thanx for all the info from ur fathers car.
