1995 Proton Iswara sedan from Malaysia - Comments

Air Conditioner failed on the very first drive day.

Had to replace the entire air con system (under warranty - free)

The Power Windows on both sides a bit sluggish all the time, but continued to work.

MY Radiator hoses blew at 50,000.

My Head gasket blew at 63,000.

MY Timing Belt snapped at 66,000.

My seats are comfrotable and wearing all right.

MY headlamps failed after two years.

MY back lamps leak and are full of water from first year.

MY door locks stuck.

MY automatic lock sucks.

MY door unlocked warning light is ON all the time iregardless whether doors are locked or open.

The car is giving 100 km to 10 litres.

Car pick up is sluggish.

I had one for 7 years, had no problems. Wife had one for 5 years... trouble free.

I have had an Iswara 1.3 A/B since new from 1998. In almost 8 years, I have had to change gear box once, due to leak of gearbox oil (owner neglect for not checking earlier). Besides this, there have been and still are niggles such as power windows, water leak into cabin from front passenger door (thought I suspect due too bad workmanship after door was knocked).

In the early ownership of the car, most of these problems were rectified, and now after 8 years, and 155,000km, the engine has started to consume engine oil. So engine needs some TLC now.

But this car is a family car, and at any time, there would be 4 people driving this car, which can be disastrous for the car, but this car has taken all this punishment and still going strong.

I don't plan to sell this car, might have tp spend bout 2k soon on engine, and new shocks, but it will give service fr other 2-3 years easily.

My girlfriend is looking for second hand car, and I was considering a kenari/kelisa, but second hand price bout 30k, compared to 1.5 auto isware late model 02/03 for 22k,23k, much better value.

Proton saga iswara... no problems and good condition.

I bought my Proton Iswara Sedan 1.5 Red color from Proton Edar in Year 2005 Feb. It has been giving me a good time, less headache and good driving moment. I think I made a good choice choosing her (My Red Iswara) I named her Tun Teja. Oil consumption... saved a lot!!!

I am happy with my Iswara.

The Iswara is cheap to maintain. Just change the engine oil and filter.

I drive one and I don't think it has a slow pickup although it has low top speed.

I owned a 95 Proton Iswara.. It has been good all the while.. Fuel consumption is not bad (350km for RM60 petrol) It never breakdown before and it is easy to maintain.. The only disadvantage is the low top speed and the cabin is not so quiet as it gets older..

I have Proton Saga year 1992 and I'm using until now.. there maybe have some or even more problem with this national car but what ever it's takes I'm proud to have this car..
