1998 Proton Tiara GL review from Malaysia
"Value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Normal problems would be drive shaft (s) replacement, overheating, wiring and soft body panels.
Only thing I hated most is the dashboard display. No RPM, no temperature meter (once red is too late) and extremely inaccurate petrol readings.
Making me have to fix external RPM meter and temperature meter.But it looks cool anyway.
General comments?
I bought my Tiara back in March 1999 brand new.
However I noticed a lot of Tiara owners in Malaysia don't know how to take care
of the car. Or should I say they have
no idea where to go to repair and do
enhancements to the car.
But I am glad to once lead a club of more than 100 Tiara in Malaysia under
AX Tiara Auto Club Malaysia (AXTAC).
Anyway, if you need help or parts do
let me know and drop me an email :
rickwong@zerotohundred.com.
Would be glad to assist fellow Tiara
drivers.
