Go search for M3 prices and factor in OTR costs. No, even if proton died tomorrow you will never pay so little for a M3.

If it was a Hyundai, I might understand you saying ‘This car is not like the old one should give it a try!’ as the maker’s reliability has been on par with Japanese makers in some aspects recent days. But definitely, not for a Proton. As far as I experienced No Proton deserves a ‘try’ yet.

I know Proton is a ‘proudly Malaysian owned’ carmaker, but be fare all of you, look at the market objectively. By global standard any products the maker offers are well out of competiton. Rather than just prasing whatever they make, be tough on your beloved carmaker. Show your disapproval to it if they have done substandard a job, that is the environment it needs to grow properly. Toyota and Honda could be there as the wolrd’s most successful and reliable carmakers today because we Japanese consumers were harsh on them.

Why are people not looking at all the standard features reverse sensors, EBD, electric windows, seat belt pretensioners, ABS breaks, front fog lights, Alloy wheels, dual airbags, and then compaire it to a corolla. The corolla what a borring car and not to mention how many are owned by rental compainies and govt fleets so how can that not effect the resale value of them.
Yes proton are at the cheaper end of the market cars but as per any new car you have new car warranty this and road side assistance i really believe that most of you who bag out these type of cars have never owned one or can afford to own a new car so you just bag them out.
Proton cars are a company as you have stated that are here to stay they will continue to grow and will one day end up as large as the Hyundai Brand cars built to a price and to what the markets are demanding ie. great fuel consumption plenty of standard features for not a big dollar figures. Far out what are you negative people going to say when the chinese cars hit our shores next year cheaper cars at under $10,000 drive away prices.

The IAFM system solves the infamous torque dip of the barebones Campro engine, and should be alot better to drive around the city now, as you do not need to rev very high to get sufficient torque for acceleration.

“Variable air intake is nothing new to current engine technology. It is present in many engines from other carmakers.

I wonder if Proton Campro IAFM technology is expanded to other country?. But already done in ASEAN(maybe also in UK) market.

I own a Proton Campro(gen2) 1.6 CPS. Similar to VTEC & VVTI, the performance is satisfactory.

This crap needs RON95, repeat.. It demands a PREMIUM diet $$$$

a friend has a proton gen2 hatch in black, with the factory 17″ wheels ( they won it lol ) and i have to say, they love the thing!

Come on car advice – don’t sell us out. This was a bit see thru and I’m not impressed

So first we get a very cushy review of the car, now we see the banner adverts.

You are losing credibility by the day…

The Top Gear show in UK blew up a Proton car with a bomb to say how bad it is.
