2004 Proton Gen-2 from Malaysia - Comments

The Proton GEN 2 has a lot of defects for a brand new car. I purchased my proton car here in Sri Lanka. Not even three months passed by, I had major problems with the Engine, Clutch Plate, Lots of Rattling noises. The car sounded as if it was about ten years old. Compared with a used toyota corolla 121 car which had already done 68000 kms, The corolla was better. comfort wise the proton gen 2 is very poor. Fuel consumption is very high. Well Proton Company!!! You just lost another customer. Not only did you'll loose one customer, but 8 more customers who were my friends, we all planned to buy the car. But I strongly don't recommend this car to anyone. It's only the looks, but nothing else. The re-sell value is very poor.

Special Advice to the Proton Company!!!

Plz change ur Sole agents/ dealer in Sri Lanka...

You'll are loosing a lot of business here and they are ruining your proton reputation in Sri Lanka by lieing and marketing the product. After sales is NIL.

Plz look into this matter or else you'll will loose a lot of customers. Most Sri Lankans are rich People, but WILL NEVER BUY PROTON ANYMORE!!!

Why there is only one comment about proton gen 2?does it mean that all other customers are happy about it?

Have own Gen2 since july 2005. love my car only power window problem and third brake lamp bulb fused so far. engine is good condition & responsive. easily turn to 170kmh. until now, haven't face any engine problem. guest I'm pretty lucky customer. only oil sump too low (over sporty) and it crack when I accidentally hit pot hole on the road.

Overall. I love this car..

Support Malaysian car..

P/s: some export car also not in so called quality comparing to price we pay (not saying 100k over car).. just pray more for peaceful and may god bless you and your car.. hehe.

I'm one of the gen2 1.3 users, honestly I feel that this car is underpowered, luckily I don't have a major problem with engine and power window, but when I make a u-turn to the left, there is a sound on my front wheel. I have been using this car for 3 year.
