i choose Waja 1.8 if there's no engine, gearbox and electronic durability issue.
the car have nice balance of performance and handling, easily clocked 200km/h on LPT highway without worries.
bought it on 2008, two years of painful ownership. luckily most of it are covered by warranty.
first proton with 1.8 VVT!
nice power curve.
hell lot of torque.
airbags.
abs.
ebd.
brake assist.
drive by wire.
tuned suspension.
but for durability issue.
f**king crazy electronics! (all warranty)
burnt ecu! (warranty)
melted radiator fan (replacement cost rm800!)
all the hoses and rubber thingy inside the engine bay seem to brittle after sometime. (sell the car after noticing it)
