wira, waja and persona are no match to vios, city, civic … the protons have very big trunk with the size comparable to a BMW or mercedez … so if you love big butts, you must love protons … I love my wira

I personally think the waja looks classy and comparably 'garang' to a BMW. I'm going to get one in a few months. looking forward to owning it.

My uncle works at Proton in the New Model Development team, said that WajaRM (Waja Replacement Model) will arrive in a year (at the end of next year). It will look exactly like the current and latest Mitsubishi Lancer, and also powered by the 2.0 lump of 4B11. Great, huh? So, we’ll have two choices; CBU unit of Mitsubishi Lancer from MM Japan, with waiting list around 6 months to a year, or a CKD new Proton Waja built at Proton’s factory at SA. Price? Guess…

Plus, Satria Neo CPS will be released in this November 2008. But I am not very sure of this cause he was somehow confused whether it is Satria Neo CPS of Satria Neo SE. But, from the way he talk, I think it will be Satria Neo CPS. Another great news to hear, rite?

And, the new Proton’s MPV will tag the price around RM 70k-80k. Not very sure about the variants.

Just to share some information with you guys. Hope you don’t mind, Paul…

The best part of Waja is the interior. Looks nice.

Well, inside the document for SA, it does state that waja cps have EBD. But nothing about it either in the brochure or at the proton website.

Hi all,
kingbrutal, you drive a waja cps? at or mt? how’s your ride?

First of all, it’s good to hear Proton is improving (put aside the interior fitment quality issue and on the looks department) on it’s technicality. Now I guess, they really have to focus on it’s both interior and exterior quality. So far from the review, there’s no major critics on it’s performance and equipment that have been thrown in. I mean, projector Xenon headlamps with automatic headlamp leveling for a 80k car…that’s good! And I have visit Proton showroom and sit in the new Waja, loved the interior (layout/comfortness) and the steering wheel is darn good. Still, agree with Gogobotol when he stated, “Proton have light years to catch up with the rest of the pack”. I hope Proton could keep the interior fitment quality issue to the VERY minimum (hey, even the tester gave his disappointment in this matter) and I know Proton should be JUST fine for the next 10 years or so. After that, lack of engine and technology offering will lead to it’s downfall…peace!

It is 65k for an auto

Nothing in the market can beat it in terms on value for money…. imagine a Myvi SE auto ~ 52K ?

the people who made this car should be fatally killed to death

how redundant is that???? fatally, killed then death… which have all the same meaning… dear sir, please check your dictionary before posting or you might end up looking as a fool. or maybe ALPINA BMW has ran out of idea??

Thanks theking for the info, definitely will compare Persona SE with its siblings and hopefully Waja GXR can win back true car enthusiast.

Well, I believe they gonna to keep the name and break SAGA records….30yrs ?
So, don’t be surprise if you happen to see so called “limited edition” then.

Proton strategy, keep forever when they say about Technology

FWD Oversteer?
Maybe the driver turn the steering too quick..
Thus the rear wheel takes time to response, when the tyres do, it overresponse..

- Yup…Waja have tendancy of oversteering,especially when taking corner with your pedals on foot..

Thanks to Paul, we’ve finally got a write-up on the 8 year (new) Waja equipped with the CPS engine.

As I drive both the Campro & CPS Waja’s on random days, I find that its rather fair to say that the CPS offers a better urban driveability compared to the ‘lazy’ Campro ones (before modifications). Nothing really impressive on the interior between the 2 models, jst tht with all the extra goodies thrown in like auto cruise, xenon headlamps, & etc.

The Waja is still the reigning champ (for this price bracket) in terms of space & stability. Jst like one of the commenters said, “u can cruise all day at 160kmh”.

While I’ve managed to push the CPS in its std.form to the 180km/h mark, my 1.5yr old Campro cruised its way till the 200kmh mark after some light exhaust rework. Though am not encouraging the rest to drive at this kinda speed but the fact is that these Campro & CPS engines will only come alive after 4000 RPM. So while the rest of the 1.6L cars start losing breath after 150kmh, this babies will only comes alive after this speed. Flame me all you could about this fact but ask any Campro owners or airport limo’s and they’ll testify to this fact. =)

I’m wondering if Proton still owns Lotus? A couple of companies are using the Lotus Exige/Elise model and turning it into electric cars (Tesla for example). Perhaps Proton could learn from them and owning Lotus is a big advantage.
