Wira not in production anymore. What u see is leftover stock left to rot outside Proton Edar. Once rot, they recycle the cars and call it Special Edition.

Wira is not a bad car. I think its still under production even WRM is out. I drove 1.5 auto SE before, FC quite ok. Manual should be better.

From what I know, The Special Edition (NOT to be confused with the SUPERB '95-'97 C99 LE) was meant to be produced for only 10000 units, with the first 6500 units equipped with leftovers from C98/C99 Wira parts e.g. rear disks, ARB, unit number like 67 of 10000, etc. All obviously comes with manual transmission.

After that, there was a CE (collector's edition), or the Auto version, with slight redressing of fabrics, etc. Nothing to shout about.

Beyond that, are just SE-dressed C97 Wiras leftovers, IMHO. Both in Manual and Auto form.
The term SE is the most overused phrase by Proton, anyway.



Correct me if I'm wrong. WiSE club should know more details about this.

hey bro,
I drive a WiSE and i think that its a pretty good car. Fuel consumption is pretty good. At the present fuel prices, I can get RM 12 - 13 for a trip from KL-Seremban-KL at speeds not exceeding 110km/h.

The WiSE manual comes equipped with a 4-2-1 extractors, 16" wheels with 45 Series tyres. The manual version's interior is black with the a red strip on the center of the seats, read gear console and red speedometer with white numerals.

The suspension and handling is much better than the stock wira.

Other than tat, the car has got a really nice sound when turned on. And a definitely nicer sound when you step on the acclerator. :)

However, comparing the maual and the auto version. The auto has rather high fuel consumption due to the 3 speed auto gearbox and the rather heavy 16 inch wheels. Interior for the auto is stock standard wira.

Oh, forgot to add, the manual version comes with an anti roll bar fitted as standard. I'm not too sure if they are producing any more of the WiSE or not.

The only downside, is that the rear brakes are drum. But this is a small issue as a complete set for the front and rear disk brake can be obtained from any potong kereta shop.

Other than tat, maintenance, is simple, cheap and easy to do.

Hope this post help in your decision making process. Do come on over to the WiSE Auto Club forum. Lots of sifus there. Cheers.
