i heard from a mechanic that an older 90's car is more maintenance free from trouble than a proton... and he says that proton cars visit the workshop most often

QUOTE(NewbieBetta @ Jul 1 2007, 11:36 AM) i dunno why u LYN people have some kind of mindset, this thread is to share info on the cars, actually it should be informational to people who wish to buy a proton car... shud not be a thread for people with shallow mindset to bash or what ever u call itAdded on July 1, 2007, 11:59 am QUOTE(dattebayo @ Jul 1 2007, 11:56 AM) again, rather to pay less with Myvi, or paymore for City or vios, than to spoonfeed the blokes inside Proton. Their pride is not worth a single penny though. i'm very sure 99% if not all of bashers here own a proton currently, or a myvi and want to justify how good a bad myvi is This post has been edited by CoupeFan: Jul 1 2007, 11:59 AM |

QUOTE(dattebayo @ Jul 1 2007, 12:07 PM) I not saying Proton quality is bad, read properly. OKAY!, now i understand the problem here....But what makes people not happy is what their top level administration is doing now. Bringing nation pride as a shield to defend a company is the worst BS. Inevitably, when buying a Proton, I will think of : gosh... my money will be in some key ppl of G 's pocket now, part of it will be used to sponsor the JPA scholarships (where mostly only one race has the greatest benefit) , portion of it will be used in funding of big massive pointless project If proton dare the challenge, G should let loose on the tax, and try to sell foreign cars at Thailand's price. Then we can observe the general market response PLEASE- no discussion on the management or prospects of the PROTON COMPANY ONLY its products ie. the cars Added on July 1, 2007, 12:17 pmbtw- i heard people say that proton actually buy cheaper materials at higher prices...and all the methods making it unprofitably profitable... HOWEVER, theres nothing we can do about it... spamming or whinning in this thread or this forum will not help...u think they will stop the practice when theres no incentives to do so?

the proton campro engine i heard theres a "sudden power surge" at rpom above 4-5k and a reported in an article say it jumps to redline after that.... reminds me of jeremy once said in top gear about mitsu EVO ... the turbo in mitsu EVO only kicks in after rpm 3k, below rpm 3k if running at 5th gear, its very slow because the turbo lag
this this implies a turbo characteristic of campro? :S |

Just a food for thought. certainly obvious we can see uncle travis aint nothing to say regarding the topic of the thread... Consider urself lucky for not yet getting a ban. FYI uncle travis, this is a thread where we share our PROTON ownership experience.. or maybe i cant blame u, maybe u haven an experience in owning a proton car, but nvm, its alright but pls i urge u dont initiate a flame war alright and also no more irrelevant posts whatsoever... thanks a lot |
