An average car, will only worth with taxes for imported cars

Faults:

1. both power windows broke down after 2 years.

2. front passager, centre and driver's air-cond vent broke off.

3. rubber of the back seat door fell off in the first year.

General Comments:

The Wira is a reliable car, not for the one who seek for fun or performance, it is a good car for everyday use.

Maintainace is cheap, fuel consumption is average.

The main problem for Wira is quality, there is no problem for the engine since it is from Mitsubishi.
