1999 Proton Perdana 2.0 SEi review from Malaysia
"Good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioner compressor needed replacement after 85,000 km due to water entry.
General comments?
A comfortable and capable long distance cruiser which is good for town use as well. Car was a well priced 2.0 litre executive vehicle. Looks were a little dated and boring however reliability was never questionable and handling was acceptable. Car can reach a maximum speed of 197 km/h but is a little floaty at high speeds. Handling on curves isn't a strong point but the car was not meant for high speed slaloms anyway. Comfort was good and interior was well kitted though a little plasticky. After 5 years and 110,000km, car only lost 18% of it's value on trading in. Overall, a very favourable impression of the car.
