TINNY Posted January 7, 2005 Report Posted January 7, 2005 Have any of you seen any Protons on the road? Or, do any of you own one? I'm curious to know what you think of it. By the way, in case you don't know, Proton is a car manufacturer from Malaysia. It has been in the market for two decades, but has not really made a big breakthrough despite acquiring the technology Lotus Engineering. And oh, the automatic windows never work! Always gets jammed. That's a big problem in colder countries. Quote
alexander Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 nope, i've heard of it, but again never anything really great, they say its like ford focus, some cars work good, and some dont... Quote
Tormod Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 Hey, I have a Ford Focus and it's a great car! Here's some info on the Proton:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_(car) Quote
TINNY Posted January 8, 2005 Author Report Posted January 8, 2005 nope, i've heard of it, but again never anything really great, they say its like ford focus, some cars work good, and some dont...hey, that's a compliment! I think you're referring to the Satria GTi (but they have different names in different countries). It is Lotus-engineered. anyway, Proton has yet to arrive in US (i think). But it is quite big in UK. they sponsored the Norwich City football team. Quote
alexander Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 as i said Tormod, some run forever, and some beak downs before their first 100000 and break down so badly that its cheaper to buy a new car... Quote
