i think GEN2 is the best Proton has ever produced !! Why ? It is best handling Proton, fuel economizing (over long distance), good looking rear end (reminds me of LOTUS Elise) and good equipment. Too bad the color offered though is distasteful!!! I also do not why old management never bothers to incorporate LOTUS into PROTONs afterall Lotus is 100% owned by Proton. The new management perhaps should come up with a new LOTUS-PROTON range – Lotus Gen2, Lotus Waja, even a Lotus Savy as an alternative. Add in LOTUS features like Lotus badges, sport rims, etc and priced them a few thousand Ringgit more, I am sure we will snap them up like hot cakes!!!

I think proton just achive a lot in this field, but the quality still at the same level. And cannot compare with Mitsubishi, because when accident, proton car like build from plastic. For Gen 2 R3, the performance is impressive, but we must remember that if the body can't protect us from injured when accident its nothing can be proud of proton car. malaysian people need a car that though, value with RM, quality,save, economic in maintainance, & impressive. when this people want to realize all this. for Savvy, Why they design like that, seem bigger but smaller inside. why they use Renault engine… why. the spare part are costly.

I'll really doubt the engine of Gen2 even by R3 and even being stated that different engine is being replaced. Dare not bet with my RM70+k..

I think Gen2 is a good car. Suitable for its class and power. But there's still room, for some improvement. I have the same problem as well as other Gen2 owners have. But I had to admit that Gen2 proves malaysian industrial quality is improving. After all, this is just the 2nd generation.

i vote the gen2 as the best looking proton to be in production thus far.

Im seriously considering of buying a proton gen2 but after reading this article i think i'll wait some more….for prices under 60K, i think gen 2 is the only natural choice for a car that has looks and decent performance to boot.

i doubt anyone would buy an R3 car focusing on it's looks… main points are it's excellent handling thanks to it's specially seam-welded chassis

Actually, I think the Gen.2 is 50% good-looking and 50% butt-ugly; The front looks good, but its butt is ugly. I doubt it will change even with R3 doing something to it.
