2005 Proton Waja 1.6MT review from Malaysia
"Reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sometimes it is hard to shift gear especially from 4 to 2 and 3 to 2. It feels like jammed and every time I have to use a little force to make the shift.
General comments?
I have heard far too many bad comments about Waja. But the one I owned seems to be working fine (at least for the first year) except the problem with the gear. I guess buying a car depends on both the manufacturer and luck sometimes.
