Hi All,

I've just bought a 2001 Wira Aeroback, 1.5litre from my relative. Me and my family never owned a Proton car before so I am not aware of any common problem faced by customers except for the usual faulty power window..

Some of the problems I've faced are:

1) there will be petrol smell in the car after filling up.
2) I cant fill up petrol till full. The nozzle at the petrol station will 'kick' (stop) and when I check, the petrol indicator stays just below 'F'.
3) The car has poor pick-up (acceleration) - Im not too sure if this is actually the 'standard' acceleration for Wira 1.5?

I hope someone here can tell me what's wrong with my car..

Worse, my cousin's new BMW:

1. Brake failed. He went to the SC, threw the key at the service advisor without saying a word. The foreman went and test the car, then came back and announce "Eh, you car no brake."
2. Door lock failed, cannot open even after unlock via remote.
3. Brake light failed, replacement costs 8k.

His wife don't dare to drive that car.
My point? All cars have their problems. It is really unfair to point at Proton and say they suck, when you can spend twice the amount of money to get a Toyota only to encounter the same friggin problems. You get what you paid, or worse, like my cousin, you get lemon.

isnt the BMW new? why your cousin still need to pay for those problems?? shouldnt there be like 3 year warranty or sumting>??
