Proton Persona Compact GLI (or any other Compact / Satria)

Advantages: Everything!!!
Disadvantages: Cost of Mitsubishi parts, and high insurance- but well worth it!

...car. I have a Proton Compact GLi 1.3 12v I have had mine 20 months now, and he hasn't put a foot wrong (touch wood). He is fast - can out accelerate any other 1.3 we have found, and to be honest, can give most 1.6's a run for their money. They look amazing, and come in a nice range of colours (mine is dark metalic blue.) I had had a Mini based Kit car for 2 years, and a Classic Mini for a year. Sadly, I had to get something bigger, so bought a ...
...boyfriend also now had a Proton Compact Sprint (1.5 12v). We both drive and love this car, he had been driving mine, so at the chance of this one, he took it without a 2nd thought. I will say that the insurance is quite high on them (he pays about £1900 3rt party, fire and theft as a new male driver - it should be more, but having me on it takes of £600. These smaller engined models are insurence group 8- so quite high for a small car. Proton sadly ...

Hi! The ssangyong musso is manufactured by the south Korean automobile manufacturer ( SSANG YONG MOTOR COMPANY ). It was first produced in 1993 with Mercedes petrol or diesel engine. We bought a 1996 2.9 diesel ssangyong musso about six months ago of my husband cousin. The car had the six months test and he assume us that there is not much wrong with the car. He just wont it to sell it or crush it because he was needed spaces for the new car. When ...

My red ranger - Proton Persona with solid red color

Advantages: Good handling, low price, fuel saver
Disadvantages: Looks too similar to Proton Gen2

I got my Proton Persona in June 2008. Basically, Proton Persona is a great budget car with great functionality. It is also a fuel saver car, which can be drive over 320km with 35 Liters of petrol on normal road in Penang, which having traffic problems almost all the time.

Review of Proton GEN-2 Persona

Good all round little car

Advantages: Cheap to run
Disadvantages: Not much power when you need it

...Malaysian beachhead in this country, Perodua aimed to make an assault on the British market with the Nippa citycar. Carrying the title of Britains cheapest new car, the Nippa certainly made a few friends with its aggressive pricing and tried and tested Daihatsu technology. If it represented great value when new, does the Perodua make an even better used buy? With its cheap sticker price to a certain extent nullified, does the Nippa have anything ...
...more expensive rivals. The little Perodua feels like a bit of a minnow out of water on the open road. Dual carriageways and motorways seem frighteningly gargantuan, and rear seat passengers may feel unnerved by the sight of a juggernaut bearing down on them as the Nippa valiantly attempts to attain its 84mph top speed Best to stick to the Nippas purpose in life, that is zipping through inner city traffic and into tight parking spaces. Their narrowness ...

Disadvantages: MPG a bit on the high side, classic cold war russian plastic interior, not great on motorway driving, gearbox can be iffy

i have had the joy of being in the company of these nivas, and i must say they are a load of fun! originally was bought (from new no less ) by chance when we had a test drive for a laugh. how it got past EU crash saftey laws i dont know, but it dosent really matter. off roading, this thing keeps up with even the land rovers with a high wheelbase and stable driving. it also has "Diff Lock" to help get out of the trickiest places. It affords the diver ...
...case scenario, you do have a crash, dont worry. When i was involved in a head on crash at approx 30mph, the incoming car (MK3 ford escort) clipped the nearside bumper. Damadge to escort: Smashed front quarterpanel, front door, rear door (all nearside) front bumper. Damadge to Lada:: small plastic bumper corner cover taken off. repaired by fixing in place with screws. as you can see, these things are built like tanks! also good at fording, we had ...
