Proton Wira 1999 reviews

Cheap, solid mechanicals, fair looks

Unrefined, cheap cabin, below-average fuel economy

Proton Wira 1999 Overview

Originally introduced in Malaysia back in 1993, the Wira was based on the early-90s Mitsubishi Lancer, and continued in its early form all the way to the new century, and ending up being the most outdated car on the market. Available as a sedan or a liftback, the engine and gearbox were sourced from Mitsubishi, namely a 1.5-litre and a 1.6-litre, both 4-cylinder. The smaller engine came with a 5-speed manual or a 3-speed automatic, while the larger one came standard with a 4-speed auto. Features included cloth interior, manual or power windows, radio-cassette player, optional sunroof, optional spoiler, and not much else. Safety features were limited to seat-belts in early models, with later ones receiving a driver-side airbag, ABS brakes and safety-bars in the doors. As unrefined as the car is, proven Mitsubishi mechanicals under the skin means on-road reliability is as good as most Japanese cars, although the car itself will be falling apart from the inside out, starting with the cheap cabin trim. The car flopped in the GCC region, except in places like Kuwait, where it was marketed as a commercial vehicle.
