2001 Proton Putra 1.8 EXI DOHC review from Malaysia
"Good project car with a basic chassis"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The anti-lock braking system did not work. A trip to the Proton Service Outlet revealed that the wires were clamped between the relay bracket and the computer box. Fixed with no charge.
Paint-job was poor, running clear coat under the side indicator lamps.
Clutch pump failed at 35000 km mileage. Fixed at about RM150.00.
General comments?
Despite the poor workmanship and malfunctions, the car has good acceleration and power.
