Proton Mpi Saloon 1.5 SE 4d Auto (1993/L) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
It is a good value car.
Costs
I tend to race her a bit so fuel economy is not that great. Parts are fairly easy to come buy.

On the road
Driving
A real pleasure to drive, she is light and responsive.
Performance
She sails along, on motorway journeys I've had her past 120mph.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems so far, always fires up whether wet and cold or hot.
Image
Most people think it looks dated but I think she looks pretty good.
Comfort
Long journeys can get uncomfortable.

Security and Service
Security
Strong door locks, but nothing else so I recommend fitting an alarm.
Service
It's not a new car, but the Proton garage has been very helpful.
