2005 Proton Gen-2 review from Singapore

I am contemplating to either get a Proton Gen-2 or Waja since both prices are almost the same. Reading the review do not help as it only frighten you to the extent of forget about getting a car and just use the public transport. I heard that Waja parts are more expensive and this is a major factor when selecting proton cars as you never know how long its survival period. Gen2 looks more sophisticated and solid unlike Waja, but it is not all about appearance, right? Even proton have difficulty advising consumer on these choices and it was told that if you are a "family man" get Waja and vice versa. Strange right? The size of the car might be different, but can Waja slot 6 passenger (including the driver) and not got summoned if being caught. Please help me to decide???
