There are a series of five colors of the building, but the only color is solid Red Chilli the others are made of metal, to £ 300 of the bill.

Inside there is plenty of space. This is particularly true for the passengers in the rear, since the get is a four-seater - there is no safety belt for something a pair of scissors in the middle. The rear seats have a 50:50 split and flat feature the launch of the 207 to 909 liters. It is very useful because the space of the wheels, not to intervene. Annoyingly, even if the hatch will be reopened from the car and that's not good when it rains.

At the front, that's just the driver who gets a seat at a height, what is right and the steering column is static and no adjustment at all. Niggli Another is that the pedals are spaced at intervals, they are all at different heights and clutch pedal with a slightly different angle for the other, they've got to become accustomed to certain.

Proton Gen2

Quick Review of Proton Gen-2
If not the choice of hand, the Proton GEN-2 makes a very good bet that you are using a modern, almost new hatch and resources are scarce. In most cases this means a reduction of something like a Nissan Micra proton, but a great five doors is very attractive for the license. Cheap and cheerful was never so good.

The Next Generation
Proton is a company with one or two rounds in his bag. And the acquisition of the Lotus brand, it started with the development of cars that are surprisingly well in the leadership. The Impiana Proton was the first, raising the eyebrows really crusty street with their possibilities, but it was too conservative, and inside a little dated, on the outside to reach a wide audience. The Malaysian company fixed that in 2004, when he has the GEN-2 hatchback. With a modern and a chassis from the Impiana is a car that is no excuse. Inexpensive first GEN-2-fillets much car for the money.

History of the Gen-2

Considering that the previous Proton models have purchased in the design and engineering of other companies, the GEN-2 is a good in-house project, building on the success. The chassis is equipped with the Impiana car and is a good start. The Impiana is one of the best handling sedans and compact dimensions, the translation of the GEN-2, a goal he squatly the wheel at each corner position. The outside shows in detail a number of good judge of contemporary sculptures projector units bold design of the flap and the cutting window line.First dealers came in May, September 2004, the GEN-2 has received the criticism that many commentators, careful that it around the car with a proton to a new crew lists car buyers. The succession was good, but there remains the residual resistance of the pass. It is soon to change when the proton on the improvement of these materials rate.Proton updated inside and has the option, leather seats, in the spring of 2007. a change in the design of the wheels made of aluminum was also time. GEN-2 Persona saloon version was published in spring 2008.

Proton Gen-2 Road Test

Although the GEN-2 will no doubt sell on the basis of presentation and the proposal for a value, a great attention, as the car. Proton is now 100 percent of Lotus and they want a return on this investment. Faster spirit and direction of a warning, are Lotus trademarks and the GEN-2 is not lacking in this department. Factor in a corner without a chassis, that many companies or the roll and you have one, which is more than sufficient for most of the audience. The rights of minorities May are saying something more than the engine, the track and the handling. The journey has ended, without the rigor and float over longer waves is suppressed.There are only two petrol engines available - from 1.3 and 1.6-liter size - not too bad and are no longer units. The 1.6-liter 110bhp CAMPRO which was developed in collaboration with Lotus and develops reasonable pair in the middle and upper market segment, but you need at the gearbox to make progress in the low speeds. Fortunately, it is not too many difficulties that the standard gearbox is a black system. The 1.6-liter GEN-2 will cover the sprint to 60 miles per hour pause in seconds 12 / 6 and move to a maximum speed of 118 mph to a combined consumption of 39.2mpg and CO2 emissions of just 169g / km are also very competitive.
