2004 Proton Gen-2 review from Malaysia
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rattling sound from dashboard, probably due to aftermarket CD player installation poor workmanship.
The Gen2's Sime tyre really letting me down.
General comments?
The Gen2 is a fantastic car, very quick and the handling round corners is superb. Lotus Midas's touch really make sense here.
I would recommend this car to anyone. I use it every day and commute to and from work even though I have my Toyota Harrier. This car really value for money!
It has a spartan interior, but is surprisingly comfortable, even on long journeys.
Can't believe this is a Proton car. Should be a continental car.
