I'd be hard pressed to notice any cosmetic changes, both exterior and interior! But of course the good thing is you'll never run out of spare parts!

20 years model liao!

Current Wira uses Siemens ECU as compared to Wira of 10 yrs ago.

 

1.5 version also has more sporty 3 3 spoke steering wheel and sports panel and sports instrument dial.

 

12V SOHC engine remains the same

the most important thing is whether proton will give consumers a facelifted wira? its about time they do so.

[Firstcall]

Personally I won't because the style is quite dated. Grandchildren will probably buy the same new model with the same old look as their grandparents'.

 

Some Malaysians feel that when they had the star and cresent logo, sales was much better. But since they changed to the 'tiger skull', it drove all the Proton 'luck' away.

 

yeah some more this car is a replica of the 10 yr old Mitsu Lancer...can u imagine how old is this car

Proton Wira 1.5M - S$38,999

 

Proton Wira 1.3M - S$36,999

 

 

With prices for Wira at an all time low, why would you, or why would you not buy a Proton Wira (12V SOHC) ?

 

NO ......NO WAY JOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ferrari7]

Its alot of metal for the money . . .

Agt is not bringing in auto version of Wira 1.5 auto, as it comes in 3 speed auto.

 

1.3 is avail only in manual.

 

No lah! wira 1.5 got 4 speed auto since day 1.

Most people in Malaysia would not buy it if they are given the choice. With the recent launch of Myvi, the sales for proton has been badly hit. Even sales for Satria Neo is poor. Basically no wait time compare to months for cars like innova, myvi, avanza.

 

I used to own a wira 1.5A. My major complaint is the "water tank" in the boot after some time.

 

You might be aspired to own a car in Singapore....but over in Malaysia, we envy all the CBU selections in Singapore.

Would prefer the Gen2 anytime

 

yup.. IMO gen 2 looks nice, styled like a coupe, it will look nicer if it is orange in colour with bodykit and high spoiler

[Nine_eleven]

only the 1.3 got 3 speed auto...

[Vit4wd]

Wira 1.5 auto is avail only in 3 speed auto, that's why Proton Singapore decuded to give the auto version a miss.

 

Only manual is avail for 1.3 & 1.5 in S'pore.

If you are just looking at a car for transport and not for looks or brand, a budget car in short! Why not? for the 1.3M la...

[Toyo]

very hard to find a 1.3L sedan cars these days

[Biting]

In my opinion, this car is very good value for money. It's selling for 35 to 36k only. Slightly more expensive compared to the Picanto but it's much bigger.

I tink Gen2 is a better looking car than outdated Wira.

Think about it....i guess the 1.3 Gen2 ard tat figure?

[Mugenhonda]

why not? buy and leave it in a m'sian workshop for a few weeks...

 

hehe

Agree that it's the most metal for the least money. But as far as Singaporeans go, it seems to be a no-no. Just passed by Jln Ahmad Ibrahim the other day, the sea of Protons lying in the field (for what I don't know, waiting to rust?) is scary...
