1997 Proton Iswara 1.3 m review from Malaysia
"Workhorse with little complaints"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Problems with steering column and antenna way back when I first bought it in 1997 - fixed under warranty.
General comments?
Very reliable, low consumption, cheap maintenance, easy to fix. Good for getting from point a to b. Not handsome, not comfortable, not super powerful, but it does the job.
