Talks to Save Proton failed
According to a report by The Edge, talks between Proton Holdings Bhd have car manufacturers and the largest automobile manufacturer in Europe, Volkswagen AG - and the parts-maker of the famous Volkswagen Van --- began last year has not pushed through on the basis of what the Malaysian government hopes.
The weekly newspaper has reported that officials from Proton and Volkswagen had met several times, but no concrete agreement has been developed. The newspaper added that the talks were not going well and it seems that the German manufacturers something cool "and lately seems less afraid.
The newspaper also a source familiar with the situation said: "This delay could be cited to reveal some doubts." The Malaysian government is also under pressure, details of the partnership for the loss-making Proton, which has lost its status, automakers announce in the country's best-selling rival Perodua. The government believes that new partnership with Proton, Volkswagen help it can recover.
Proton announced last week its third consecutive quarter of losses due to increased competition and slow sales. The company received a loss of 281.45 million RGT of the third quarter ended December, compared to net income; he had the year before, totalling 86.51 million of the RGT.
The Second Finance Minister still Yak cop Mohammad said the government would be an announcement on strategic partners proton release this month. No one knows if they would have a Volkswagen or another company. But the newspaper, The Edge said: "If this timetable is adhered to strictly, sources say, General Motors the world's largest car manufacturer is to be the preferred partner for Proton.
The main aim of which is a partnership with a foreign manufacturer Proton prevents a further decline expected its market share as competition intensified. It should be noted that, fled when news of a possible partnership with Proton, Volkswagen shares rose, but after news the company is not of Proton shares have been confirmed to be overthrown.
Apart from Volkswagen, Proton has been in talks with GM and PSA Peugeot Citroen in France, over the approximately three Malaysian automotive firms have expressed interest in buying shares in the company. It should be noted that the Malaysian government, 59 percent of Proton, including a 43% of Hashanah National, the investment arm of the government is in possession.

Proton Wira 1.3 & 1.5 specification
The Lagendary Malaysia's Favourite Car....
Wira is the perfect family sedan for practical people like yourself: economical, comfortable and reliable. Proton Wira once upon a time have been the most famous and prefered car in Malaysia. Just because of its spaciousness and the affordable price like Proton Persona, its replacement model for today.
You believe in getting value for your money. That’s why Wira is perfect for you. Firstly, Wira offers you a great deal on price. It’s also designed to help you save in many ways. You’ll be surprised to find driving Wira a very comfortable and pleasant experience indeed.
Wira lets you enjoy economical pricing – plus a host of attractive features:
Contemporary design
Aerodynamic design adds to fuel economy

Interior
Contoured support seats add to driving comfort
Advanced coil spring suspension system for greater stability and easy handling
Noise, vibration and harshness reduction for more enjoyable ride
Minimal engine maintenance required
Advanced fuel management systems lets you travel further per litre
This is what i like the most on Proton Wira: The interior quality. If you compare today’s proton car such as Saga and Persona, you will see much different in terms of interior quality such as noise reduction, soft material for dashboard, nice dashboard design etc.
The suspension is also better but the car is too lowered until you have so many difficulties when you reach a bumper on the road where you always stuck with your Proton Wira. And that is why many of the wira owner change the spring to higher adjustment and many people call it “wira sawah” then.
The Proton Wira is a car manufactured by Malaysian carmaker Proton, released as a four-door saloon and four-door hatchback beginning 1993. The Wira was intended as a newer alternative to the Proton Saga Iswara. The Wira was later planned to be replaced by two similar in-house designed Proton cars: The Proton Gen-2 (launched in 2004 to replace the “Aeroback” hatchback variant) and the Proton Persona (launched in 2007 to replace the saloon variant).

ABOUT PROTON WIRA SE SPECIAL EDITION
Wira SE is a good car. Good in a way that enthusiasts would describe it. For starters, the sporty Wira SE wears Gti spec 16-inch tyres that fills the wheel arches. The five spoke alloys themselves look the part and it lifts the appearance of the car in a way never before.
Proton is not like Perodua. Proton adjust fully on its “SE” model including the performance, not like Perodua that just make a facelift of its “SE” model.
To ensure that this doesn’t compromise ride, in the same way that it didn’t in the fabulous Gti, Proton did away with the standard car’s suspension and had up rated the dampers, coil springs and bushings. Although they had enough information on how to make a car behave well with low-profile tyres, they had to start from scratch with the Wira SE as they couldn’t take the GTi’s suspension and plonk it into the Wira SE as it is a bigger and heavier car.
They have done a swell job at it. It reminds one of the GTi’s set up but still feels amazing considering that they have managed to replicate the surefooted feel of the Lotustuned hatch in a longer and heavier car such as the Aeroback. Hit a bump and the suspension just soak it up without ever transmitting the shock into the cabin. The steering is fast and accurate with just the right amount of weight to balance at low and high speeds.
Where most cars with low-profile tyres just crash in bumps and transmit suspension noise, the Wira SE hides them from the occupants.
WIRA SE DIFFERENCES ON CHASSIS
PROTON WIRA 1.3 & 1.5 SE SPECIFICATION - THE LEGENDARY MALAYSIA’S FAVOURITE CAR REVIEW
The brilliant suspension tuning work is complemented by a retuned exhaust that is said to offer up to 8 per cent “more power” to the car. Whatever it may be, the 1.5-litre lump sure does feel alive. The car has a very lively throttle response, and especially meaty around 3000-4000rpm.
The number of things that they’ve got right with the car definitely justifies buying it for the handling alone but priced at RM49,000 makes it the bargain of the year.
Yes, this Wira SE is a great car for car enthusiasts. The handling is soo good and different with the standard proton Wira with minimum body roll while cornering with sharp steer. I remember when trying my brother’s Wira SE ( black version picture above this post ) after we have a picnic at Ulu yam with very zigzag road i still manage to handle the car and feel safe even at higher speed.
But now Proton has replaced this model with Proton Persona. The price for second hand Proton Wira Standard and SE now is around RM25k to RM35k.
If you want to buy between Wira 1.3 and 1.5, I would suggets just go for 1.5 because the performance of Wira 1.3 is too bad, not responsive and very high fuel consumption.
I hope my description here will help you a bit on the Proton Wira standard and SE review.

Facts you need to know about kereta proton wira
Here's my thought about kereta proton wira....
The Proton Wira is a car manufactured by Malaysian carmaker Proton, released as a four-door saloon and four-door hatchback beginning 1993. The Wira was intended as a newer alternative to the Proton Saga Iswara, a facelifted version of Proton's first model, the Proton Saga, as a flagship compact model for Proton. The Saga continued to receive minor updates until 2008, when a second generation Saga was introduced as a sub-compact model instead.
The Wira was later planned to be replaced by two similar in-house designed Proton cars: The Proton Gen-2 (launched in 2004 to replace the "Aeroback" hatchback variant) and the Proton Persona (launched in 2007 to replace the saloon variant). The Proton Waja, a saloon compact, was also launched in 2001 as an earlier successor to the Wira saloon, but currently caters slightly towards more upmarket demand, below the Proton Perdana.
Wira is a Malay word (derived from Sanskrit) that translates into English as "Hero".

In its first series, a 1.3-litre 12-valve engine was available on basic-specification Wiras. The Mitsubishi 4G15 1.5-litre 12-valve engine used in the Iswara and its predecessor the Saga was carried over unchanged. The Mitsubishi 4G92 113 PS (83 kW; 111 hp) 1.6L 16-valve SOHC engine with multi-point fuel injection was introduced together with an optional 4-speed automatic transmission (and power windows for all 4 doors), a first in Proton's history. The multi-point injection versions were badged as MPi, although this was only used on the engine, and never on the trim levels (unlike 1.5 MPi GLS in the previous car, the Saga, the trim levels were simply 1.5 GLS etc.).
In 1995, the Mitsubishi 4G13 1.3-litre 12-valve engine also used in the Saga was introduced for the Wira. This was followed in 1996 by the 133 bhp (99 kW) 1.8L 16-valve DOHC engine with multi-point fuel injection, making Wira a first Proton car to be powered by a DOHC engine. At the same time, a 2.0-litre diesel-powered variant (badged as the 2.0D, or the SDi in some markets) was also offered but was later phased out in later years due to lack of interest from consumers. The diesel-powered Wira is to date the only diesel vehicle produced by Proton. From 1999, all engine options for the Wira in Malaysian market were fuel-injected and carbureted models were phased out.
In 2001 the Wira received suspension tuning from Lotus.
Safety
Like most other Proton cars of its time, the Proton Wira did not offer any safety features other than the standard three-point safety belts with pretensioners and laminated windshield. Export models however saw a much better build quality with safety features such as driver airbag, door intrusion bars and ABS, which were also available as options in the later Malaysian models.

At the same time, a 2.0-litre diesel-powered variant (badged as the 2.0D, or the SDi in some markets) was also offered but was later phased out in later years due to lack of interest from consumers. The diesel-powered Wira is to date the only diesel vehicle produced by Proton. From 1999, all engine options for the Wira in Malaysian market were fuel-injected and carbureted models were phased out.
In 2001 the Wira received suspension tuning from Lotus.
Safety
Like most other Proton cars of its time, the Proton Wira did not offer any safety features other than the standard three-point safety belts with pretensioners and laminated windshield. Export models however saw a much better build quality with safety features such as driver airbag, door intrusion bars and ABS, which were also available as options in the later Malaysian models.
