1993 Proton Mpi SE review from UK and Ireland
"An absolute bargain car, provided its been looked after."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had this car for ten years and everything that has been done to this car has been to do with normal wear and tear i. e headlight bulbs, oil filters and the exhaust has been replaced twice.
Interior starting to look a bit worn and body work is surprisingly easy to dent!
General comments?
I have had the car since new and it has been brilliant, it handles well, drives well and in my opinion I think it looks good.
The car has, for the main part of its life been used for motorway driving and has been hammered by me and yet it still drives well, although I do look after it. I have had the speedometer needle off the clock (130mph) on many occasions and I love it to bits.
I will keep on driving this car until she finally dies on me, which in all sincerity I hope is never.
