Nothing! In fact I have not bought it yet.
I have heard that some local automobile company is going to launch PROTON cars in Pakistan within next three years. It is of course a great news to hear. This would be first Malaysian car brand in Pakistan and being national car of brother country, most of the people are eager to welcome it. As far as I have personally experienced this car in Malaysia, I really have great expectations from this brand. As, these cars are very suitable for Pakistani environment, weather and road conditions. It is going to give tough time to the existing players in terms of price, performance and design.
Having world famous LOTUS technology and design, these cars are going to capture a great market share.
Methinks I smell the marketing manager for Proton Pakistan.
Yes that's right that PROTON is willing to enter Pakistan shortly. As far as I know, it will be launched within next three months (not three years). However, it is a good news for Pakistani market and car enthusiasts as it of course is a great car brand.
So welcome to Pakistan, PROTON!
How do you it's a great car if you have not even driven it?
Do you know how badly a month old proton rattles. My previous Proton Wira 1999 model purchased new started rattling after only 1 month. The bumper fell off after another month. Front foglights fell out within 6 months. Gearbox totally shot at 58000km. And mind you, I am a very moderate driver and am very disciplined about service intervals.
You may think this is a great car just because it is produced by your "brother" country, whatever that may mean, but please remember that this is essentially a dated japanese car (engine) with low quality parts sourced in Malaysia and rebadged as proton.
You would be better off buying a used volvo 240: less costly to maintain, gives you countless hours of driving pleasure and definitely does not rattle, even a 20 year old car.
My brother, do not depend too much on your "brothers".
Well, what I think is that it looks great, but can't say a word as I have not driven it!
Would somebody mind telling me the exact model or send me pictures of this car specifically launching in Pakistan please mail me at qaasim@ g m a i l.com.

Don't worry, I driving my fourth proton and my wife her second. We have had trouble free protons since 1987. I am driving a waja/impian and my wife a gen 2. We've had the saga, Iswara/MPI and Wira, all trouble free. Cheers.
