This may sound a bit harsh but I think car manufacturers in malaysia must understand the phrase "Quality Control & management" when it comes to making a car/vehicles for the public. It is not that all malaysian made cars are very bad. Some of them are built to just make them mobile n that is it. Ok the price is somewhat within the reasonable spectrum, but that does not give the ultimate excuse of producing a car for those who has not but a very few choices due to limited financial condition.
Dont just take my word on this...u may want to click here for a comment on Perodua Kelisa . I've seen the british program called "Top Gear" on BBC 2 (malaysian can catch this program on BBCworld channel on ASTRO). The main host, Jeremy Clarkson did actually blew up that kelisa car out of sheer frustration. He is so well known for being down right brusque yet brutally honest when giving reviews on cars. He testdrives them 1st and then he'll come up with whatever comments he deems appropriate. When something is bad, he'll just tell it off without much of hesitations. U might want to view more of his comments here on other type of cars.
Dont get me wrong. I am proud to see my own country made cars around, and i might be owning one of them (proton or perodua products). Still, i find it a bit of a letdown whenever they come up with a new product which is below the satisfactory scale. It may defeat the purpose of having a car that u urself wud love to hate but u r unable to abandon it for , again...financial reasons. It is as if u r forced to be married in an "arranged marriage" style, where u the son or daughter has very little say as to whom u r marrying to, and when u r married to that person, it's not so very easy to get out of it without both family's intrusions. But the good part of it is, if u have accepted such condition with open heart and u'd hoped that ur parents arent that silly enough to match u with someone not ur cuppa tea,then u'd end up learning to love ur partner the more u know him/her. And this comparison goes the same to the malaysian made cars....
