2004 Proton Iswara Saga review from Malaysia
"Proton is not a good choice"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear seat developed a noise after 2 weeks I bought it.
The door lock made noises because the lock is smaller than the hole, so when I'm driving the car, the sound made me very uncomfortable & unsafe.
Inside the car, all around is very solid plastic. Unlife style. Black color, what a stupid design!
Air-con is not cool at all when in the day time, but at night it's still OK.
Quite high fuel cost for a 1.3. Higher than Vios 1.5 Auto.
When on the highway it's very noisy.
Steering makes a 'jit jit' sound.
General comments?
I think it is not a good choice to buy a Proton car. If you really want to buy Proton car, you must be ready to accept those problems that you can't avoid.
Overall I'm still satisfied with my Proton, because the price is quite reasonable.
