Proton Owners Pride

[Khafiez84]

Hello every1..just 2 know about what are proton owners and non proton owners out there think about our national car maker PROTON either proud, so-so or dissapointed about Proton cars quality coz as we know Proton car is keen 2 have major issue in every model they launched accept Exora Bold coz as far i know still got no complain about de car especially de engine Campro CFE..

4 me i'm one of de proud owner of Proton coz its hve serve me n my family 4 a long time (1 Proton Saga n 2 Wira's)...yeah there is a bit problem here n there but overall i'm satisfied..
Its served its purposed as a daily commuter splendidly n i'm so happy bout it..

Most of ZTH forumer already know that Proton has won SWRC category in Rally Sweeden and almost did it in Rally Monte-Carlo (car burning up due oil leaks) with the satria Neo s200 although its used Renault (Waja 1.8) engine dat been stroked 2 2000cc..but hell..it's still a Proton rite.. links World Rally Championship can't wait de result for Vodafone Rally de Portugal (29 March-01 April 2012).Hope we can win it..hehheh

And the upcoming and most anticipating model Proton P3-21A(sedan) and P3-22A(hatchback) makes me even prouder 2 own a Proton car coz proton really did evolve from what is used 2 be..car assembler 2 a fully car maker with their own technology..technology expertise and de list go on...lets hopes proton can really make a car dat wil sell globally n make us MALAYSIAN proud of our own product n make Proton appreciated and recognized as a top notch car maker even 2 de foreigner..

Maybe this is a most boring topic so far for de respectable ZTH forumer..but it's just my humble opinion and any response is appreciated..:wavey::wavey:

p/s: sorry if my ENGLISH broken here and there...hehehe

i bought new proton gen2 and till now i regret... nyesal tak abis

 

[DanzEterna]

so far the best car from proton i could say is the wira.
the new p3 21a looks like an upgraded persona, nothing to shout about.

i love my iswara n neo...

 

[Izso]

I like my Wira only because it's super easy to DIY fix everything (almost) myself and parts are cheaper than any car out there.

Even the engine mounts and whatever are cheaper compared to Kelisas or Myvi. (ori vs ori)

 

[Khafiez84]

yup..de majority of proton owners will be saying dat Wira is de best overall car in current proton lineup coz its has vastly variety of parts for a cheaper price compared 2 other brand..like bro Iszo said..its easy 2 DIYing so in indirectly its giving us a knowledge especially 2 a nubie in automotive world like me..

BTW bro khencana what's u'r problem with u'r Gen2?

 

[EvolutionZ]

wira, iswara, saga and satria....always the best and most economical...

1. recently spring klac patah, pressure plate serpih - kos avg 400
2. brake jammed, both rear - kos avg 200
3. power window, driver side, 5 kali dah - speechless
4. starter - cost 160+15
5. crankshaft sensor kong di pagi raya! - cost 550!!
6. exhaust muffer patah tgh2 jln malu wooo - speechless
7. button eject CD rosak kena tekan kuat2 sgt - donot repair yet
8. interior roof sponge/pad jatuh... skg terngaga klu tgk dari belakang, kat brek ke 3 - donot repair yet
9. 2 times tukar stud tayar - forgot
10. rattling sound ngok ngek ngok ngek - so many times repair and it happen again
11. tempat tarik nk bukak bonet depat longgar - donot repair yet
12. door handle belah kelindan problem - crazy, sekali sebulan repair
13. very very very low end torque.. semua gen2
14. dun have rear bonnet keyhole, sempat basah masa ujan (sume gen2)

i had my Wira for 8 years and it served me very well... then came a day i finally decided to sell it as everything was falling apart when it started and move...

Then i upgraded to a Japanese Build... driving it for 2 years, never regretted, and will never go back to Proton... enough said.

 

[EvolutionZ]

proton after gen2 less problem as mentioned..they even give warranty for power window..anyway i totally agreed the damages they had done..but somehow i have to share that lately the saga and persona did improve a lot. my persona served me well since 2009....done mileage 98000km and still going strong...except engine bit noisy ...

 

[DanzEterna]

aiya...proton should rebadge the VW passat & polo :motz::motz:

 

[mosesmk]

guys, i heard the campro engine gave more headache to owner?true?

 

[shah5755]

i drive saga lmst aka kereta tank so far i'm so grateful coz i does not giv me so much probs...until now the only probs tat i had is the power window switch keep on broken...engine so far so gud, and economy for daily drive....
sumtimes buying a car depends on luck also

VERY TRUE! come to penang. i gv u try my campro, sure regret la klu amik. lembab. BUDAK YG BARU MAIN KETE (KERETA PERTAMA KU) JE YG BANGGA NGN CAMPRO...


sori la frens... emo a lil bit .. "aku seorang owner yang kecewa"...

 

[langsuyrx]

me.. still use a 1993 sewara sedan... never had problem with power window, still can climb up, with a little bit help with my finger la.. ol skool lor.. engine still gagah until now...

 

[DanzEterna]

i heard proton suppose to rebadge the VW passat to replace the ageing perdana...
but the owner of DRB said proton wont do rebadging anymore......so dun worry..

i dont really understand why you still keep the persona although it keeps on giving you problem. why not trade in and overlap your car loan to get a 'proper' car you wanted? me family been using proton cars and so far, no major issues. heck even myself is using wira for 5 years and never regret bought it second hand. campro giving problems? rubbish! my mum is using persona se and no issues so far.

even japanese/europe cars also had their flaws guys. its just that everyone is keeping quiet about it. care to tell me what car manufacture that always breaks down at the road side?

proton is still impressive to begin with as they have came out with new models within their 20ish year old of establishment. compared with other car manufacturer.

inspira kete yg xder maruah? pleaseeeelah. it was a MOU between Proton and Mitsu bro. get ur facts rights. in fact, inspira suspension fares better than the Mitsu Lancer GT.

for me personally, better save the 40k+ buying inspira coz basically im getting most exact spec rather get myself screwed on getting lancer gt. think again bro. thats why they came up with the slogan smart guys get it lol. you can spent the 40k on engines/bodykit etc etc.

its a trend nowadays car manufactures to rebadge the models to minimize the cost of coming out with the new shells. perfect example is Lancer Evo series and Scooby series. why no one complaint on that?

[Izso]

[khencana]

i dont really understand why you still keep the persona although it keeps on giving you problem. - my car is gen2 2005, not persona

why not trade in and overlap your car loan to get a 'proper' car you wanted?
my fren, 2005 H-line model need to top up to bank 12K... 2005 56K > 2012 18K maaa

tak kena tak apa ma.... skali kena baru tau ma... 1 syawal, pagi raya, ziarah kubur, ngn baju melayu, comot abis.. spoiled dgn crankshaft censor kong. tinggal kete kat kubur. 2nd day raya baru amik. spoilt my raya tahun tu. kena rm510 tak psl2.. tak kena sedap la ckp....

even japanese/europe cars also had their flaws guys. its just that everyone is keeping quiet about it. care to tell me what car manufacture that always breaks down at the road side?
yes u r right, tp agak2 la bro. 5 kali tukar power window, dh 3 ari lepas problem lg. other problem x yah cite lah...

proton is still impressive to begin with as they have came out with new models within their 20ish year old of establishment. compared with other car manufacturer.
alasan klise

inspira kete yg xder maruah? pleaseeeelah. it was a MOU between Proton and Mitsu bro. get ur facts rights. in fact, inspira suspension fares better than the Mitsu Lancer GT.
give me janda, GRO or anak dara, conform i choose anak dara. tak malu ke klu inspira kita parking tepi lancer GT ori? malu seh....

for me personally, better save the 40k+ buying inspira coz basically im getting most exact spec rather get myself screwed on getting lancer gt. think again bro. thats why they came up with the slogan smart guys get it lol. you can spent the 40k on engines/bodykit etc etc.
proton is still a proton....

becos it is not proton, not company from our country...


i pay my car for 9 years, not 9 months
last word, yes, nobody is perfect, but agak2 la nk ada problem pun hahhaaha LOL

 

[DanzEterna]
