Driver Insights
Owners state that the high seating position offers a clear forward view, although rear visibility is limited by the design. Feedback shows that the electric power steering is very light at low speeds, which helps with parking in tight spaces.
The 2001 Proton Wira continues to appeal because it delivers practical transportation at a relatively low purchase cost. Based on feedback from Sri Lankan owners, the Mitsubishi-derived mechanical components make servicing easier than many people expect, while experienced workshops are generally familiar with the vehicle.
