1997 Proton Tiara 1.1 review from Malaysia
"Powerful Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drive shaft start giving problem at 70000 km.
Hard to find sport rims.
An analog clock to replace RPM meter.
Spare tire position at below.
Alternator always spoil.
General comments?
I admit that this car is a very powerful car in its class compare to other, but it doesn't reach the requirement in the safety part. At high speed cornering, the back tyre always skid and slightly losses control. I have test the top speed of this car, but when it reach at that point the car is like floating, and the engine screaming like going to tear into parts!
I need some advise on upgrading this powerful vehicle.
Will turbo helps to increase this car performance?
How about changing the spark plug?
Is the air intake good enough?
