Faults:

The car so far has been serving me as a very good servant. There are no problems at all with the car. Except that the front seats are not very comfortable for long distance driving or when stuck in jam. The leather used to cover the seats seemed to expand. There was no problem with the suspension accept that it has to be changed to a better suspension like TEIN with better spring for better traction and stability.

General Comments:

The Perdana V6 is indeed a very good car in it's class. Its worth it to pay 100k for this 2.0 litre car. It's a smooth car with quite a good handling at almost every cornering. However interior needs 'redecoration' especially on the dashboard and seats.

My dear friends, don't buy a Perdana V6 if you have lots of cash. If its possible, please stop with the grumblings and complains by comparing a Perdana V6 with a BMW X5 or any other continental cars as there is a big gap between the price of these cars. Thank you.

Faults:

The car looks cheap. The plastics feel very tacky. Although it has been facelifted, it does not look any better as it still looks very slab-sided. I preferred my Espero as it was more comfortable and responsive.

The Perdana should be given a new model instead of a facelift as the international markets desire for something more adventurous and up to standard such as the Nissan Cefiro, or at least, the Hyundai Sonata.

The Wira is hopeless as it is already like 12 years old. Change it, please. The Waja (Impian) is a fine effort, better than the Perdana, but, the exterior design should be more cutting-edge and sporty.

Proton should really revamp its range as people desire for cars with high standards at a budget price. I believe that Proton can do much better than this.

Now, I am driving a Daewoo Tacuma as I feel that it is more satisfying to drive than any Proton, and at a budget price too.

Faults:

Squeking noise from rear wheel suspension.

General Comments:

The headlamps are a major disappointment as they are very dim and do not light the road well.

The car is quick and responsive.

However, the transmission is a bit jerky and not smooth for a car in the 2 liter V6 engine class.

Driver seat is uncomfortable and could do well with better lumbar support.

Finishing is a bit on the weak side as rattling noise could be heard even when traveling at low speed.

Faults:

The suspension system appears to have deteriorated quite early. Tyres off-balanced and sent for balancing numerous times, but problem persisted. Car was superb when new, effortlessly reaching 190kph with no fuss. Now, vibration from unbalanced wheels makes it uncomfortable to go beyond 140kph. Would be interested to know if others driving this model experienced the same.

General Comments:

The car pulls off from standstill very strongly, also while in any gear at any speed for that matter.

Gives good adrenaline flow if you're an excitable driver, but not so comfortable if you're chauffer driven around.

Gearbox is responsive while engine sweet sounding and never strained, makes for very relaxed and confident driving. Would appreciate views from others?...
