Dude .. pity your car. You have my sympathies.

Thing is we should be talking in similar terms. Not about ICE enthusiast or any car crazy fellas. Lets talk about even default cars when you first bought it.

The few cars i went through, Hyundai Sonata 96' , Proton Wira 99' , Waja 02' , Saga 04' , MyVi 07'

Amongst the 4 .. the Saga 04' is notably the worst default car i've purchased n driven.
1. Power window (no need to say sure most people had this)
2. Hand break loosed until cannot lock. e.g. if i park on slope = gone case.
3. Circuit board behind air cond burnt .. literally .. mechanic showed me the burnt circuit.
4. Door handle (inside) BROKE!!! and this is just last week. Best part is my power window on the drivers side DIED TOGETHER!!! only way to open is by climbing out the passenger side.
5. Hub cabs missing. Most likely fell off while driving. I heard and seen on the roads that i wasn't the only one.

Other than that .. actually the car is nice to drive .. it's definitely not a car enthusiast quality or near savvy quality .. but overall it's an ok car. (-minus all the stupid issues i mentioned above)

Waja 02' .. i bet you some of the problems you guys heard of
1. Power window
2. Back door panel coming loose
3. Squeaky breaks. (strange my saga dun have this)
4. Front light almost came off. (despite the fact car never hit anything before)

Look .. if you wanna talk about good quality cheap cars by default upon purchase .. try even a MyVi. Most friends of mine have no complaints on it so far other than e.g. self inflicted accidents.

But then with the stupid ^ tax rates .. cheapest is always Plotong cars ala Saga. Even for Waja in the 1.6 litre range .. i believe Waja is the cheapest 1.6 sedan around.

Theres nothing much you can compare if you just wanna compare. Anyway main topics is about Proton's issues.

Btw .. tested new Neo and Waja. They are alot better than the last batch. Have to admit after they buffed up quality assurance more it's better. Campro Waja is not really that responsive due to it's fuel-efficiency configurations. So other than that the whole car is heck alot better than before.
