PROTON GEN-2 Review by: Esteb
The Gen-2's interior is my worst thing about this car. Despite this, the Proton Gen-2's performance is exceptional. I've owned a Gen-2 for 5 months and it's ok, for a Proton. After 5 days of driving I had to buy a new fuel injector however the Proton dealer paid for it. Proton have traditionally been my preffered car but the Proton Gen-2's incredibly poor handling has changed my opinion.

PROTON GEN-2 Review by: Jona
I've owned a Gen-2 for 7 months and it's ok, for a Proton. The Gen-2's build quality is definitely the worst part of this car. Despite this, the Proton Gen-2's reliability is good. Proton have always been my favourite motor but the Proton Gen-2's hellish reliability leaves me thinking otherwise.

PROTON GEN-2 Review by: Kai
I've owned a Gen-2 for 6 years and it's ok, for a Proton. The Gen-2's ride is my worst thing about this motor. However, the Proton Gen-2's road holding is brilliant. After 2 minutes I had to buy a new alternator however the Proton dealership reimbursed me. Proton always were my preffered motor but the Proton Gen-2's terrible electric windows leaves me with serious doubts.

The Gen-2's ride is the worst thing about this car. Despite this, the Proton Gen-2's driver's seat is great. I've owned a Gen-2 for 3 months and it's been nothing but trouble. Proton always were my favourite car but the Proton Gen-2's devilish interior has left me undecided.

I've owned a Gen-2 for 10 years and it's been nothing but trouble. The Gen-2's performance is the worst thing about this motor. However, the Proton Gen-2's reliability is sweet as a nut.

PROTON GEN-2 Review by: Damo
I've had a Gen-2 for 9 days and I love it. The Gen-2's multitude of storage compartments is the greatest part of this transport machine. Furthermore, the Proton Gen-2's car's performance is super-duper. After 7 days I had to buy a new CD player as the standard one was a bit rubbish. Proton always used to be my favourite car and the Proton Gen-2's superb wing mirrors has only confirmed this.

PROTON GEN-2 Review by: Ram
The Gen-2's cigarette lighter is my least favourite bit of this motor. Despite this disappointment, the Proton Gen-2's handling is magnificent. I've been the owner of a Gen-2 for 3 decades and it's adequate, for a Proton. I bought a new headlights as the standard one was a bit rubbish. Proton always used to be my least favourite motor and the Proton Gen-2's seriously bad glove box has not altered my mind. The Proton Gen-2 - baaaaaad!.

PROTON GEN-2 Review by: Guillermo33
I've been the owner of a Gen-2 for 9 decades and it's adequate, for a Proton. The Gen-2's windscreen is the crappiest thing about this motor. However, the Proton Gen-2's road holding is just marvellous. After 7 minutes I had to buy a new battery however Proton reimbursed me. Proton always were my preffered auto but the Proton Gen-2's lacklustre handling could change my mind.

I've had a Gen-2 for 10 decades and it's been better than my sex life. The Gen-2's doors is the thing that really stands for me out about this car.
