Proton GEN-2 Saloon 2008

4 star review

 

I purchased my 2008 Gen Saloon in May 2009. It was a brilliant car ex-Proton management vehicle, which Proton only keep for six months then sell on to the public. The only fault really I had with mine is the thin paint; it did chip and when I was hit by another motorist in 2010 a lot of the side damage was to my car and although it was repaired in an excellent way it just didnt feel the same. I wish I had kept it now. A brilliant car with a comfortable ride and quiet engine (Proton introduced a new engine for the Gen 2 in 2010).

Proton GEN-2 Saloon 2008

4 star review

I purchased my Gen 2 Saloon in 2009, it is an ex-Proton manager’s car. I have had a few what can be called annoying problems but this is my fifth Proton since I purchased a new compact hatchback in 1999, The trouble is Proton launch a new model .The only negative thing I would fault is the leather used in Proton’s 2006 Impian felt like plastic rather than leather and this was fitted outside of the UK. So proton didn’t do themselves much good, but seeing the 2010 Satria sport the leather is fitted in the UK and is of better quality. The quality of the Gen 2 Saloon is near perfect the interior has a solid feel and is well put together the cloth trim is also of good quality lots of room in the rear for three adults and also good on fuel as long as you don’t floor the pedal.
