1996 Proton Tiara GL review from Malaysia
"Terrible car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I spend almost RM 30,000 to repair my car for six years. Trust me, this car is really terrible. I had to change the suspension every year.
The alarm is too sensitive so I disconnected it one weak I bought it.
But who cares??? No one is going to steal this car.
The look of this car is really terrible, especially the rear of the car. It looks like a car at 80`s.
Poor chassis. The handling is more terrible than a kancil.
Poor performance and weak engine. Low torque especially at low RPM.
General comments?
Expensive spare parts.
I prefer to buy a kelisa with better handling, performance, comfort power stearing, fuel injecttion and a better look.
I regraded for buying this car.Don`t buy a second hand of this car. You knows whats wrong for selling this cheap.
