2001 Proton Persona from Australia and New Zealand
Summary:
An excellent used car choice
Faults:
Just some minor trim issues and a rattling speedometer cable behind the dash.
General Comments:
I was not expecting much from this car, but it has turned out to be very reliable.
This vehicle has excellent visual points with very few blind spots. The seats are comfortable and the instrument panel is easy to read.
On a long highway drive, there is considerable road noise, but it handles very well on the open road.
The quality of the interior trim feels cheap. The car is not exciting, but it drives fine.
The drive train is made by Mitsubishi, and therefore has a solid reputation for reliability.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Sounds like the only decent things about the car can be attributed to the fact it has Mitsubishi mechanicals and Lotus input into the handling. The rest of it (i.e. the Proton parts) seems to be rubbish.
