More good deals from the annual year end sales, this time from Proton. The local carmaker’s “Bigger Deals Better Buys” campaign is valid in December 2017 and is for selected models only – the ad shows the Saga, Persona and Iriz.
Like Honda Malaysia’s year-end promo, there’s a choice to be made here. Proton is dangling five years of free maintenance or savings of up to RM8,000. Basically, it’s a choice between taking the savings now or saving progressively over five years of ownership.
Launched in September 2016, the Saga is priced from RM37k to RM46k. The larger Persona surfaced one month earlier than the Saga last year, and retails from RM46k to RM60k. The Iriz is the sole hatchback option here – updated in June, it goes for RM44k to RM59k.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments generally recognize Proton's December 2017 promotion offering five years of free maintenance or up to RM8,000 rebate, viewing it as a strategic move to attract buyers, especially lower-income and recent graduates. Some express skepticism about Proton's financial stability and long-term sustainability, citing past profits and sales challenges. There are mixed opinions on whether these incentives genuinely benefit consumers or indicate Proton's financial desperation, with praise for the campaign's value and criticism over perceived quality issues and pricing history.
