Proton Gen.2

Bought it years ago and sold it a few months ago. Its a very reliable car. It gave me no problem at all! The air conditioning is the best! Turn the knob to first click, there it goes. Immediate cool air. The air also smell nice. You don't even a need a perfume. I heard it uses DENSO's aircon parts, but i'm not sure. Exterior styling is very nice especially when you know how to mod it. A big spoiler with big front bumper will give the car a fierce looks and even a better stability at high speeds. Interior wise is also good. 2 front "Bucket style" Seats. And normal seats at the back. All leather. Plastic dash materials destroy everything. But, the dash design does not even block passengers/drivers leg from resting. Some dash just bulge out but not this. Boot space the biggest i've seen. It's big for a hatchback! It's deep and big! Throw some pails, hose and organizers and there is still space to put your grocery shopping. Fuel? I rather not say! Within just 1 day, the arrow from "F" Can go to "1/2". It's very surprising how the thing consume such a big amount of oil. I just can't take it! Handling is the best. Together with the LOTUS handling and rear-wheel drive, it's the best car! Don't worry to put your feet down at the throttle at tight corners as the steering go where you want it to go.... Read More

Unless they clear the old stock with 5k reduction then peoples with budget will consider.... Read More
