2002 Proton Waja GX review from Malaysia
"A good bargain for its price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Strange rattle at the right front fender. Sounds like a cable or wire knocking against the body or undercarriage.
The alarm sounds if the boot is not slammed shut hard enough.
Apart from those minor niggles, the car performed faultlessly.
General comments?
The suspension is nicely tuned. Very good handling. Corners well within a certain limit. Feels like the suspension can handle a lot more than the engine can dish out.
Comfortable enough for long journeys in the back roads.
Big boot space.
Good accommodations for driver and passenger although the airconditioner vents could be placed more strategically in the cabin.
Nice standard sound system.
A very quiet car with good sound insulation.
However the seats are quite hard and offer not much support during extreme cornering exercise.
