Disappointed with Proton

[Pisces69]

bought a 2nd hand Satria Neo. Just 2 days and alarm spoilt. Car can't even start. Got to tow to WS. Worse no one at Sin Ming could fix the car. Now have to tow to Proton Service Centre....

 

OMG......

 

The 2nd hand dealer sell u a lemon.

 

Looks like u never give the car a through check b4 u buy.

 

Anyway MY cars n not that good lah. Ty cannot compete with Thai made cars even. Most of my MY frens tell me the only reason ty buy Msia car is cos ty r cheaper than other cars. Excluding China car though. Those r even worse.

Original Proton one. Not aftermarket. Now I am going to rip out all the stock alarm and install aftermarket one. Proton things cannot be trusted..... After what I have read on the net.

 

Dont start tearing everything out n spending too much $ getting all new stuff.

 

Find a good mech 1st. Otherwise u end up spending a fortune n yr problems still not solved. Take it slow. 1 step at a time.

Its the 110HP version. Crappy 1.6L.... But then.... can swap in something else.... Good handling and able to convert to 4wd. Thats why I bought the car. For future mods.

 

Huh????

 

U thinking of doing engine swap n convert 2 wd to 4 wd?

 

U sure u know what u doing or not????

 

 

If u not good with cars, dont b too adventerous hor.

So far so good. I am not worried about mechanical reliability with Proton cars. I read good things about them. What really worries me is the electronics. They are as fragile as BMWs....lol......

 

 

compare proton with bmw? a bit insulting right?

To be honest, proton isnt that bad. Don't read the malaysian stuff on their quality. They get local distribution quality. We get their export quality which has much tighter QC.

Thats right......1Mesia got their LOCAL standard which much
