No problem over 8 years. Just becoz many users satisfied with their car & didnt voice out , doesnt mean everyone hate Proton. I have no intention to get this Gen2 Sedan but simply anticipate for the launch so also the launch of the Campro CPS model. I intend to upgrade mine to Toyota but not becoz I hated Proton but just simply say, I can afford already. I still don look down on Proton, just wish them well with since the appointment of new management. See what they can deliver. Been owning 3 Proton cars, Satria & 2 Wiras. No problem over 8 years.

Furthermore, as release control of the first friction element is performed differently in the initial, middle, and end shift stages, shifting to other shift modes is performed smoothly when pedal release skip shifting is executed. Hope it's right. :) Some info for upgraded TCU..Transmision Control Unit

The steel quality grade should be the same as the one in Savvy and Satria Neo. However, I can't remember the grade. Much better than Proton Waja and Gen.2 when first launched. Anyone have any idea whether current Waja and Gen.2 using the same steel grade as the one in Savvy or Satria Neo? Are they using better grade than current one? Will be glad and great if somebody can provide me this info. Aril, try to test this Proton new sedan first and see the review and so on before you go directly for Proton Waja.
