Proton Jumbuck 2003

3 star review

A bit bumpy, but useful car, low running costs. Most Wira and Satria parts fit in. Got a Satria 1.6 engine fitted on mine, not bad.

Proton Jumbuck 2005

3 star review

I bought my Jumbuck 4 and a half years ago. I think it was the best car that I have bought, I treat it like a race car, fair enough I have done it up a fair bit but it is still a ute and it is pratical in every way. It has the get up and go (haven’t done anything to the engine) and it is a good car for people that want a ute but dont want the price tag with it. As the saying goes "you get what you pay for", well yeah, that is true, I have had a rattel in my car before but don’t forget it cost me 14k; now that is in keeping for what you are getting. I think Proton have done a good job with help from Mitsubitshi. Overall it is an awesome car.

Proton Jumbuck Pick Up 2005

4 star review

Well, it was all going well until yesterday when it suffered valve failure. No damage as such but a top end job. This is a bit unusual, or is it? Still a good worker though.

Proton Jumbuck GL 2005

5 star review

Very Australian - rough, tough, no frills but more important - no trouble. Had my Jumbuck for 2 and a half years now. worked it hard and keep it well serviced. It returned 42 mpg on a recent 300 mile run. Only nit pick - tyres - the originals were terrible, now fitted with off road pattern and it has decent grass field and muddy yard/site performance. You can keep your fancy Nissan’s and the like, I will keep this and keep earning money with it. One word... brilliant!

Proton Jumbuck 1.5 GLS

5 star review

Bought mine on an 03 plate and I have to say it’s been a fantastic buy. Has never let me down and is a fraction of the cost of other pickups out there. Excellent.
