2001 Proton Impian review from UK and Ireland
"It is a reliable and comfortable vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The remote unlocking is unreliable, so I always use the key to lock and unlock the doors.
The tools hatch cover in the boot broke under slight load.
The odometer display lamp has blown TWICE. I am sure that this is a design fault, they should have used a higher rating lamp.
The clutch master cylinder needed replacing at 3 years.
The rubber gaiter on the steering arm needed replacing at 4 years. Very expensive.
General comments?
I am getting about 8.5 miles per liter on supermarket unleaded.
The all-leather trim and the stylish steering wheel attract comments (+)
