2002 Proton Impian GX review from Malaysia
"A good saloon, but lack finesse"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car's suspension system emits creaks from day one.
Fogging on the inner side of the glasses during cold night drives.
Emblems were defected and service centers refuse to change them.
General comments?
The car surely handle better than most Japanese or Korean makes. Though it has the ability to handle like a dream, the creaks and cheap interior plastics bring the whole ride down.
More sound proofing is needed, especially near the tire wells. Suspension noises are as loud as a truck on rough roads.
Overall design is attractive. It does not look too Japanese.
Seats are hard, but on long drives, our body aches less.
