Must have ESC, ABS more Airbags or it won't get registered. So this is how we finish the first year of the decade of road safety with the Government manufacturer in the country with one of the worst road tolls delivering this rubbish. Proton started so well with their exports and have gone down hill ever since, remember the M21 standard ABS and drivers Airbag when the Lancer version was still running drum brakes on the back, come on Proton you MUST do better!

Cost a bit extra for black paint and small spoiler. It goes OK, It is nice/fun to drive around corners, It doesn\'t have a stupid big smiling face on the front ( Mazda Honda etc ), its not a tiny box with a tiny engine ( Getz, Alto etc ) I'm pretty confident I have a nicer car to drive than a more expensive Holden/Daewoo or a Kia. I'm really happy, I just hope it doesn't fall apart in 3 years and 1 month. I just bought one for my daily commute to work ( My wife gets to drive the good/big car ).
