2000 Proton Perdana v6 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Wait for the price to drop more"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car looks nice, but the engine is 1997 year old mitsubishi.
ABS is standard, but over the years no extra safety features like airbag added.
Car had problems with timing belt and was told it was wrongly connected from the beginning.
Car handling is not as good as Waja.
Pick up needs to be improved as slow despite V6 engine.
New Perdana V6 looks the same except for a facelift, but engine is still the 1997 mitsubishi.
Hopefully, the long awaited campro engine will arrive before 2005.
General comments?
Except for price and V6, there is nothing fascinating.
