Proton Wira

Ratings

1 stars

Summary

Not recommended. A budget Malaysian car with bland styling, both inside and out. Only compensations include the low price tag and strong warranty.

Review

The Wira used to be called Persona but the name change coincided with an image makeover. Available as a saloon or five-door hatchback, it's cheap to run and buy but only if you opt for the lower end of the range. Higher up the line, Wira is seriously outdone by better rivals. The interior is a letdown, although on paper the standard equipment list looks impressive. Entry-level 1.3 models are sluggish and the 1.6 is expensive - the 1.5 is probably the best buy. Included in the budget package is an excellent warranty but watch out for mind-boggling depreciation.
