this is the only matured thread tat CoupeFan ever make.. hahaha...

talk about Proton.. my family own 2 Proton cars before... a 1991 Saga and sold for a new 1996 Wira..

Power window failure.. Saga 3 times.. and Wira more than 5 times..

generally the Saga didnt have alot problem compare to the Wira... but the Wira really sux to the max.. the bumper drop when my moms accidently bang the wall while parking.. it just so light yet the plastic bumper already broken!!

less than 1 year, the wira's alarm/center lock got problem... n 1 day my dad taking the wira for a normal service by Proton.. he didnt asked to replacing the alarm/lock system... but the service center replacing the whole center lock system... they even change the 'door-lock' by replacing ori longer to the shorter 1.. in the bill extra RM100++

after tat my dad never bring the car for Proton to service.. he went for his frens... i remember around 1997/1998.. the radiotor suddenly overheating n spoil in the middle of seremban sg besi highway... there r some leaking in the inner parts of the radiotor... can u believe tis car is just less than 2 years old n having tis problem?? so my dad ask his friens which is the workshop owner.. he say many Wira hav radiator problem n tat why u can spot Wira always stopped on the road side of the way to Genting..

other minor problem is aircorn board/switch spoil n then replace...everytime when heavy rain rear bonnet got leaking just 10-20drop of water .. tat oni the few problem tat i remember..

n becos of tis my parent swear wont ever bought any Proton cars... now we r using a Toyota car which totally problem free.. power window never failed..

-

lets take about other people car..

my friend's sister own a Gen2.. n i heard he say the Gen2 have lots of problem... himself is driving a old Wira which always complain about radiator problem where his car cant going for a long journey... n just bought a Myvi last year.. he tell me tat he love the Satria Neo design... but too bad it just a 2 door car n manufacture by Proton...

my family close frens aka my mak angkat's son own a Waja.. i heard they say the car got gear/engine oil leaking problem... after tat his sister never bought a Proton car..

my frien's friend wira got aircond problem.. his friend wira air condition is not cold like other wira... bring to service center the cant do anyting so he bring the car for air-cond mechanic to check... n they say if once u get a proton car with tis problem then it cant fix anymore..

tis only few people tat sharing their car problem with me.. there is still 9/10 driving a Proton car which never tell me their car problem.. majority of them which using Iswara/Wira last time switch to non Proton cars..

to all Proton fanboys..

most Malaysian drive Proton cars before n got bad experience with it.. not all of us hate them becos they r local.. people complain on internet or simply bashing for fun... do u think people will still buying the product after knowing it sux n troublesome??? no we trying to avoid them...
