1996 Proton Wira GL review from Malaysia
"Not worth the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Totally under powered. The car is like going to move back wards down hill even when accelerator is fully pressed when going up hill to Genting Highland.
The whole car is vibrating so greatly like the interior is going to split into half even when driving at around 120 kilometers per hour making the car not comfortable at all.
Lubricating oil spilled out of the engine even after the car has been serviced.
The design of the car is too simple and plain and doesn't worth the price at all.
General comments?
Actually I'm looking forward to a better car from Proton, but it seems that Proton still lack of creativity. What is wrong with them?
The car they make doesn't even worth the price. Compare to other countries, the price of one Proton Wira can buy myself a powerful yet beautiful sports car. Example in Canada, the price of one Proton Wira is worth the price of one Chevrolet Camaro.
For conclusion, this Proton Wira that I currently own will be the first and the last of Proton. I felt disapointed at how Proton is doing their job. They are nothing, but some 'money-grabber'.I know that many people in Malaysia think that way too.
