2001 Proton Waja GX review from Malaysia
"A good performer with trivial problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver's side power window failed just after warranty lapsed.
Squeaking sound during cornering on rough surface. Dealer cannot rectify and blame the manufacturer.
Seats fabric is uncomfortable.
Radiator leaked and rectified during warranty period.
General comments?
This car's handling is very good and stable. Have no fear on the fast lane.
Fuel consumption is reasonable, 12-14 km per liter, but lower than what claimed by the manufacturer (16km per liter).
So far, problems have not hurt performance.
