Proton established since 1985, The ''Most" Champion cars are WAJA and recent GEN 2... Yeah, you are the ''best ever'' MAS quality product, Keep going Proton, Keep PROTECTING Your PROTON, because you are still a young "20" year old infant...

WTF, use 20 years R&D to score 1 out 5? Totally cant acceptable...!!! , You see how people build their hyundai, Holden etc. ATLEAST better than you...!!!

Some more IMPOSE higher tax on those imported car, WHAT for? BECAUSE, It lies to the consumer, PROTON still very "cheap" ma...

Yeah, your statement is, ''Proton still need protection, because there are not enough strong to compete in the market ''... GOOD, Proton BOLEH...!!

malaysian cars were never liked by australian, dunno why.

its not that malaysian cars are not like by the aussies.. its just that the car is priced similarly to other brands like toyota, and honda..etc. if you lived in australia, and you compare the interior build quality of the 3 brands, which would you buy?

anyways.. in ref to that article. "But our Gen 2's list of sore points would test anyone who had shelled out 20 grand. The front passenger's exterior door handle was stiff and required a good yank to operate"

funny thing is, i've sat in 3 different gen2's in KL, and they all have the same problem above, its probably a manufacturing jig problem. so all the cars come out with the same fault.. but somehow, never gets caught by QC.. hmmm..

If I lived in Australia, I would rather eat the 20 grand than buy a Proton. But because we live in Malaysia, we've got to live with substandard crap thanks to Proton and thanks to the government.

Yup, this fact takes the cake all the time. Even if I could swallow the fact that its crap because its "cheap" and I can live with the stupid price because of the stupid taxes, but my TNT detonates when I think that not only are we paying "more" we get "less" than foreigners.

If the Gen 2 sells 14k In Australia, yeah it is cheap and consider economical car, thus logically it has reasonable rating, but now is 18k....

In Australia with 18k, you can even own a Hyundai Elantra, Honda Jazz Vti, used Skyline Gts 32,33, Lancer, Daihatshu Sirion 1.3 VTiR or even used Camry...!!

Proton, pls give some responsibility on what you are selling in the market, scamming malaysian consumer cant forever let yourself to survive in the world trade market.

Even thought I used to a Proton loyal fans, but definately not Waja or Gen 2... sigh.... :( :(

WAKE UP <<<... PROTON...>>>!!

Here's the rundown on why I hate Proton.

1) Shit overall quality.
2) Shit service.
3) Jackass tax structure which makes them more "affordable" compared to foreign cars.
4) Sold in other countries for less.
5) Sold in other countries better equiped.

Bravo Proton! Now I know how to do business. Sell shit products with less extras for a higher price to your own ppl. Sell shit products with a lot more extras for a lower price to others.

That's sad... and I knew it quite long ago that Proton sells it much cheaper

to other countries than Malaysia with better options...

We have no choice... for poor people like us..

I can't afford to buy cars from Korea or Japan..(I don even need to mention
about German cars ;) it's far far away from me)

if proton added all the safety features into our car models,the fact is the accident rate wont deteriorate,so why waste the technologies for nothing??? <_< :lol:
