if we want to compare.....
1) Fuel consumption
I was with my friend's on a trip to Kulai. RM81 for 630KM on highway. Avg speed is 120-140KM/hr. Not the best fuel consumption. But i consider acceptable.
2) safety (eg. how many airbag, how fast its can be stop while driving maybe 100km/h...etc), if really hit, body it-self will hit the driver not??>
4 on Preve.
3) Brand name (not the name already died many2 times)
Don't understand
4) the origin of the car (not copy / taken or steal fr other manufacturer design, engine capability(can stand hi-rev not?),)
I think most of the Campro problem occured on 1st GEN2... Didn't heard any these days... But I can't be sure...
Originality...? U mean Mitsubishi???? Oh, they just bought over the Exora and Persona to study for rebadging... As a return, they gave Lancer as Inspira....
Or u're saying Forte and Preve..? Preve design was back then during the Tuah concept... Who coppied who..? Lolx
Mitsubishi to rebadge Proton car ! - Autoworld Forum
Share technology is common in Automotive... Volvo, Mazda too, uses Mitsu's chassis. Hyundai once uses Mitsubishi's engine as well.
Lotus uses Toyota engine. And the list goes on...
5) 2nd-hand selling value
Still consider good in compare with Korean made
6) wether its environment friendly...
Hmmm are we truely ready for environment friendly..? According to Jeremy Clarkson, nope... Human are still not ready to safe the world as long as automotive is concern. Any idea where does the battery pack and the electricity comes from..?
7) wether it user friendly (feature inside car)
Not too bad for a 20 year old brand. They almost have everything in latest models.
8) reliability of that car...
I cannot be sure abt this... But I've also seen VIOS and lamborghini burnt in the middle of the road.
9) maintenance (roadtax, insurance)
AND so on, son on.............is PROTON mature enough to compete without TONGKAT ALI fr our GOV.....
Maintenance wise, at least they aren't like koreans. Sikit2 void warranty.
As for the compete, Actually one of the most stupid model Malaysian thinks, the Arena.. Is competing in Australia with other makers till today
