[bangau]

thank you friend. but actually the gen.2 is already a good car to drive. do you know that the brakes are so good, we prefer gen.2's non ABS brake rather than some cars with ABS? You actually can tell when the brakes are about to lock. But in the wet, still prefer ABS lor. hehehe.

I hope you guys know how to appreciate the car. Of course there are still some kinks but drive it well and everything else is forgiven (well, can la, not all though. hahaha).

I am also not biased for proton and i do not drive a proton. You see, in my profession, the best is you clear yourself from being biassed to one make. I ride.

should be better than waja
So far no complaint about FC from manual owner

 

[bangau]

I had a Waja for two years and thus i can say that Gen.2 has better fuel consumption, PROVIDED you drive it sanely.

the auto Gen2 is a bit of a gas guzzler. Perhaps they need to find a real auto gearbox for the Gen2.

Yes , g2 auto is a guzzler gas ... but after mod not really a guzzler ..... I change the ATF to dexron II . Will go to synthetic ATF later , after gear oil cooler install .

guys...do ya'll think kenari rear wiper can fit G2 ar...ta rear wan? I mean ta plastic version wan?? Will it look nice??? Any comments???

 

[bangau]

That's an interesting Gen.2, but from the pix, I can safely bet that it was taken in Proton's R&D area.

As for the rear wiper, I agree that the current wiper looks very old-tech. Something like the Kenari's or Kelisa's (the new ones) would be nice. I just hope those who want to install it will buy the wipers, not taking it off from some people's car.

 

[Gen_x]

i realy like the whole skirting except rear n spoiler...

nice n simple than other bodykit shops...

will proton sell the skirting to public after they launch the bodykit model???

i want it so baddd..... :P

could it be Gen2 R3 :huh:

 

[speedking]

Gen 2 owner, mind posting some nice modded Gen 2 pics? Just curious and want to see some la....getting bored with wiralution and satrialution already... :)

 

[bangau]

well.....i think Proton should come out with something more original. The bootlid spoiler is like the new Wira, the front spoiler looks familiar (some shops have it for Waja) and the side skirts are actually very nice and simple.
