2002 Proton Waja GX review from Malaysia
"A good car for its price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The glove box lever broke, but Proton had it replaced immediately.
Left rear door was a bit hard to open and close, but rectified immediately.
It initially consumed more petrol, but after the service center tuned the car, the consumption was good.
General comments?
This car handles superbly and is very able to take hard corners. The ride is very comfortable. There was talk that the engine was underpowered, but my car seem to have adequate power.
Long distance driving is very comfortable even with four of us from Penang to Kuala Lumpur.
