The car is fair if & only if when you are lucky to get one which is trouble free. We had the 1st Saga, then on to the Iswara & then to the Wira & Waja... just stops there. Why? Read on..
This brand probably generates the most frustration among genuine car owners.
Generally, though not only limited to this brand / make...
The only thing we noticed happening very frequently (in Malaysia) is that a lot of these new "yet-to-be-registered-or-delivered" vehicles are driven at speeds of 120-150kmh on motorways prior to delivery to clients or dealers. This probably explains why some owners find that their new cars have clocked considerable mileage even before getting the keys to their new cars!
Worse yet, some parts are deliberately "swapped" at service outlets / dealers so that the new car under warranty can be filed & claimed by the "victim" owner during the 1st service.
Unfortunately, there is nothing the poor owner can do about this due to the lack of protection for consumers here. The only protection available is only for some individuals' dream, pocket or so-called "nation's pride".
Shocking... but does this practice apply to Japanese cars like nissan, toyota and honda sold in this country? And how about Perodua cars? Maybe that's why more and more people are buying Perodua cars instead of Proton... or saving money for a Japanese car; anything just to avoid a Proton.
Proton cars lack durability, and this hasn't changed. I just wonder if it's the fault of the factory or the sales staff, or both. I've heard that proton cars which are slightly damaged while in transit (either in the parking area of the showroom, or while loaded on those huge double-decker car carriers, or when the salesman is driving it at 150kmh) are actually patched up and sold as new to unsuspecting customers!
