"Avoid buying Proton all together"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
- Driver's side power window failure.
- Gear change very rough & inefficient.
- Passenger's doors too tight.
- Airconditioners not cold enough.
- Airconditioners vent pointing to driver only.
- Boot design very poor.
- Passenger's seats (sitting position) very uncomfortable.
- Noisy on the inside while driving.
- Very hard to close doors from the inside due to poor handle design.
- The tire alignments had to be adjusted even after taking it from the sales office.
- Huge turning radius. Worst car to drive into when parking or making U turns.
- Squeaky absorbers & dashboards.

DO NOT buy this car until Proton has improved the above stated features.
This car has very bad quality built into every part of it.
