[QUOTE="SharmCos, post: 2568968, member: 20346"] Of the reasons I bought a Tiara instead of Mitsu-Proton is its body strength. I've been to many insurance-claim workshops and seeing many crashed Protons. One Tiara in particular had a tree as big as a normal man's thigh where the engine mounting used to be (about 1 feet from the dashboard. Amazingly no broken windscreen, driver's door opens and shuts just as easily, pedal box intact in its place. Other Tiaras with hard frontal impact also do very well, given its size. I also saw Saga & Wira which had not as bad an impact but the pedal box is pushed up, pushing driver's legs against the steering.. ouch! Windscreen broke.. because the A-frame deformed. Just because the Tiara is smaller doesn't mean it's weaker. I feel safer in a Tiara than in a Wira. From experience the Tiara is much more comfortable on long distance journeys too. No backache! It's just that the pedals are too close to each other making driving somewhat awkward when you are not used to it. I do think Proton did learn chassis strength from Tiara and first implemented it on Waja. Waja's front end deformed just like Tiara's on frontal impact. The chassis deformed so that the passenger cabin remain intact. [/QUOTE]
