2000 Proton Persona Coupe 1.8 from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Let down by zero quality control
Faults:
Rusted in places not covered by warranty, for example round windscreen.
Drivers seatbelt anchorage disintegrated.
Top of rear seats became bleached by the sun (in england!) & rotted away.
Drivers electric window frequently stuck.
Sound system stopped working intermittently - a wire had become detached from behind the unit.
General Comments:
Made from poor quality soft metal, dented very easily.
One of the tappets would sometimes make a loud tapping! noise, hot or cold.
On the plus side, it handled very well & was fun to drive, but the rubbish quality spoiled it for me.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
