2005 proton gen-2 reviews

Proton GEN-2 1.6 cam pro 2005

I honestly can not understand why so many reviews on different motoring web sites for magazines etc slate/slag this car off so much with negative comments and reviews. I’ve always thought the styling of this car is nice, modern, fresh, sleek and pretty nice. My parents asked me to find them a new car in the price rage of a mere 2k. I looked around the usual car sales and in most cases the 2k would get me something old, high mileaged and pretty beaten up. So, seeing a 2005 Proton Gen-2 Cam Pro 1.6 with only 32,000 I snapped it up. What can I say, but I absolutely love it and so do my parents. It’s sleek and far more attractive than a Focus, Corsa, 407 or anything else they could ever hope to afford. The styling is superb, the ride is perfectly fine and infact stunning when whizzing round a corner at 50 mph (due to the Lotus handling). Again, why oh why the negative press reviews about this car? It’s got Lotus designed handling for crying out loud, and how many cars can claim that? The interior is absolutely fine, being clearly laid out, smart, fresh and a nice place to ride. (decent spec, decent stereo - nicely laid out) Sorry, but people can keep their badge snobbery and buy their Fords etc......as I know what I’ll be buying the next time I need a decent second hand motor. It’s got the thumbs up from me 100%.
