wise choice i must say.
i am driving a gen2 and my bro, a vios.

my car's roughly 4-5 years and yes, rattling can b heard everywhere and when ure driving on a slightly bumpy road, my gawd, its like ure havin a band with you or something.

and just recently, everything is starting to fall apart..lulz..and my whole exhaust system was screwed due to wear and tear (extractor bocor, cat con clogged, muffler rusted, etc etc)

my bro's vios's about the same age, and recently, he got crashed by some drunk joe while returning from genting, and my gawd was the car in terrible condition but yet, after the repair, i still dont hear any rattling sound.
try that on a proton and i promise u, ull have ur very own personal orchestra on board.

i know vios's been branded with this "big big geeteewinngggg ohh" label but heck, a good car's a good car.

-gemini- , later proton fan boy sure said you don't take care your car, that's why so many problems ...

or they will say your proton is before the new MD take charge, so got QC problem is normal ...

or they will drag out the famous camry burning case, the only case they can mention for many years to come ...

lol!
dont liek tht.
just my honest experience

mmm...ppl rather buy a 2nd hand car over a brand new Proton. This really depicts how "good" Proton cars are.

Yes i acknowledge proton's improvements, but its still not enough.

At least for now.

Yeah...how old is Toyota? and how old is Proton?

but do toyota get as many "chance" and "help" as compared to proton?
amidoinrite?

go for vios..

And Im sorry for dissing proton.
Dont flame me pls.

Hay I dreivz anz protong too, giev meh soem sugah, i iz urz miemberh

Toyota is developed by a community and people who are full with spirit...every people know the hardworking of Japanese...Malaysia is really differ to Japan. the attitude of the people also differ...

I like japanese car...my dad's driving a Sentra, my mum a CRV, my GF a City...me...a Proton only...anyway, i believe that one day Proton will be able to be at par as others

being optimistic is good, but u gota snap back to reality mang.
but anywho, i share teh same hope and dream for protong as u mang.

Not going to happen as long as the government is in the picture, sorry to say.

Hay, nao tht hurts mang.
ure being insensitive towards our gomen.
They only ment to "help". ajajajaja

finally TS make up his choice.

importantly whichever car TS choose, is the TS who drive it.

TS feel happy, then no Q ask.

Take Vios la, proton reli no hope unless u are really keen on getting a brand new car

congratz in getting ur car... hope u'ld enjoy it... how i wish i was in ur shoes last time... i could have bought a 2nd hand vios instead of my myvi se now... lol... however, still love my current ride like every1 do... cheers

TS, you've made the right choice.

Buy proton only if you intend to drive it for 2 years. After that it's downhill all the way.
No need to look at a 4 year old toyota, even a 10 year old toyota will fare better than a 2 year old proton.

definitely a choice to choose vios..somore 50k++ mileage..

well..Vios is definitely the right choice. hope u will enjoy the car, TS. RM54K for a 2004 1.5E is a very nice price. Topmark are selling most around RM60K. will get one too when i graduated.

One setback though, you're now officially in imperialrealcs's hate list because you did not choose his beloved Proton.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.
