2001 Proton Perdana review from Malaysia
"An average car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The gear " jerk " when you going from low to higher gear.
There is a air leak from the driver side window when you reach 100 kph. Done many including changing of the rubber, but it still remain the same.
General comments?
The car is good (for its pricing) in general except the gear problem. The handling and pick up is better then the WAJA. However, looks like the WAJA is more stable when you are at 140kmh and above.
On the safety side, it is not acceptable when it not even have airbag, considering the tp speed can be above 200kmh.
