2002 Proton Waja waja 1.6 review from Malaysia
"Good engine performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My air-con blower noise after 1500KM
My door handle panel broken after 5100KM.
General comments?
The performance of this car is good enough, but they use a lot of low cost
& recycle material to make the plastic parts.
That's why the door handle panel was
broken after 4 months (5100KM) after I owned the car. The service central
only replace me a new handle in black color & ask me to pay RM30 for the print work spraying. My air-con blower has noise after 2 months (1500KM),the foreman only apply WD40 to repair
the blower & they don't agree to replace a new one for me. They told me that this is a common case & a lot of
car owner are facing the same symptom.
