help ! give me opinion about waja

[astonwira]

me selling wira now
want to upgrade to secondhand 2003 waja auto 1.5.
so how u all say ?
waja good or not ?
anyone drive it before or driving now ?
need u all give some opinion

 

[sparco89]

waja is 1.6cc onli...
if you drive for highways than is good.. save fuel... but if you just drive for city use... you maybe will cry... cos waja is petrol eater.... this is wat i think.. cos my waja i pump petrol until i wanna cry.. :unsure:

 

[davidlim]

hi,just telling wat i know and the truth..
my fren driving waja 1.6 manual,he said the car ok la,quite stable,the brake very good.
wat i wan to tell u is,waja is quite fast!
in normal flat grounded highway top speed can go up to 190km/h
if got a bit narrow down road can up to 210km/h
some i heard ppl said fully original waja 1.6 manual can go up to 230km/h(this im not sure,coz just heard)
but the 210km/h is sure,coz im in the car that time.
;)

big tank for a mid sized sedan.. 65 litres.. but really good on highways.. body is strong and solid compared to other proton cars.. used to own a 1.6A but power like paiseh.. get the manual better

 

[sparco89]

i driving waja 1.6 manual, can even win a subaru imprezza 1.6 very easy...cos i everytime test run with my SG friend.. he drive a subaru imprezza TS
highway can run till 190km.... if you push it hard can till 220km/h or 230km/h

super fast Waja.. tapau beemers, mercs.. vtec.. vios..

but dunno how true lar.... :lol: :lol:

IMHO, tat guy is trying to boast, or either that, tapau by zigzagging in federal hiway...

 

[antaras]

i don't own a waja, my fren does... and once in a while i sit in his waja... thins is what i have to say...

if it's auto, like what others said, the power sucks BIG time...
if you don't mind plastics but not as bad as GEN2...
some problems with the headlights... always kong...
the seats!!! damn the seats!!! can't support the back bone and the co-driver's side have limited leg space...

well, apart from the above problems that i knew, i think waja is a good family car... solid body and good suspension... big storage space in the back boot... spacious interior... also the steering! really love that volume and channel changer there... it's still better than wira/satria/tiara/kancil/kelisa/kenari... try to get the manual if you if you don't mind pressing clutch all the time in KL...

 

[keithkeat]

buying waja or gen 2 is you are trying how lucky u are?
i own it before but now is not.don't dare to have a proton any more.save my hassle

:) I've driven a Manual and an Auto before.

Honestly, highway driving is quite fun with the waja, it feels very much more firmer on the road (compared to stock wira) and its reassuring. Power on BOTH are nuthing to scream abt but definately the manual beats the auto by some margin. Fuel consunption on the highway is fantastic....town driving sucks though.

One thing I really dont like abt the car though is the interior, there is no comfort in the seats, the dash and panels look too "plasticky".



:unsure:

 

[L2TurboFool]

nice car..stable and firm

 

[cmos]

My 2 cents:

i) If you don't complain bout the interior quality plastics, it's a nice and fun car to drive.
ii) Exterior nothin to complain about... quite solid.
iii) I agree with the rest... city drivin can really kill... my 1.6(A) drinks fuel like water when in stop-n-go traffic.
iv) Maintainence is a little on the high side. My wallet already kena 9-9 coz this rosak... tat rosak... quite frequent.
v) Other than that... I prefer it anytime compared to the Gen2.

hi i don't own a waja but i think the power difference between the auto and manual version is HUGE! overall quite comfortable but handling is totally out in my opinion. the tail acts really funny when taking corners at higher speeds (even though considering the fact my fren's waja already upgrade to aftermarket suspension + brakes)... but the car's pick-up not bad la, quite a lot of very low end torque... main issue for me would b the handling la, pretty bad. BUT HEY at least u can fit a massiv evo engine inside ;) hehe!

 

[wajaMod]

I own a Waja 1.6 (M), recently hit 2 years.

My Comments.

1. Good fuel consumption
2. Ugly interior
3. Comfortable and stable ride.
4. My power window died already. (After my warranty died)
5. Water leaking from the radiator. (After my warranty died)
6. Not that hard. Hit an Iswara the other day, damage to my hood, but no damage to the Iswara... Phew...

Have tried the Waja auto. No pickup and under powered, but overall a decent car, depends on what u looking for.

 

[saltydogg]

dont buy a waja.. buy vios :P

 

[desmond23]

waja is not a performance car anyway.......why want to compare auto with manual? i think the huge difference between the auto and manual is the FC provided the speed is not an issue! i drove waja auto 2004. the FC is not that bad as you all say. RM50 can go 400km. its all depends on your right foot afterall. i would say the third batch WAJA is almost free of problem. not like last time where the usual problem such as PW, headlight........but of cos there will be some exception. hehe........good luck!

 

[kher]

looks ok for me...

but my fren who wons 1 complain a lot bout it...
all the similar complains.... :huh:

 

[DJmobile]

u're better off with a new Wira SE...
compared to WAJA.. :huh:

yeah my 2003 waja had NO major problems. really. only complaint is one headlight is dimmer than the other.. but then it's just me too lazy to change the bulb :P .. and uncomfortable seats.. that's about it :D
