1997 Proton Wira 1.5A review from Malaysia
"This manufacturer will die in an open market"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Window had to be repaired.
Dealers / service centres are a rip-off.
Uneven suspension.
Strange noises.
Very poor acceleration.
General comments?
With high tariffs imposed on foreign cars, we have to make do with expensive substandard cars.
Plus point: Easy and cheap spare parts. Probably sourced from stolen cars!
