Proton Waja

The Proton Waja is a saloon car designed in-house by Malaysian automotive company, Proton, first released in August 2000. The Waja is the first Malaysian-designed car, with a chassis derived from a Mitsubishi Carisma and a Volvo S40. The name Waja, which means "tough (as steel)", reflects the strength of the steel used for the Waja compared with the previous models. The name was chosen partly to counter the perception in the domestic market that Proton cars were less strong.^{[citation needed]} In the United Kingdom, the Waja is sold as Proton Impian, "Impian" being another derivative of the Malay language, meaning "dream

The Proton Waja is the first model designed in-house by Proton. The development of the Waja began at the end of the 1990s together with the Campro engine, however the development of the Campro engine was still in progress at the time of its launch and therefore Proton had to source the 4G18 engine for the Waja from Mitsubishi,^{[citation needed]} before switching to Campro engines in 2006. It was launched in August 2000 together with the introduction of Proton's new corporate logo. Early batches of the Waja had some serious quality problems due to some component vendors and suppliers skipping quality checks to rush for the huge early demand.^{[citation needed]}However, the quality of the components were strictly improved years later in 2005.^{[citation needed]}

The Waja was facelifted twice since its debut in August 2000. The first minor facelift was in mid-2006 which only involved rear lights. The 2007 Proton Waja with a more substantial facelift was launched on January 19, 2007 together with the facelifted Proton Savvy. For the 2007 Waja, it was given a new grille which was nearly identical to the Savvy. The 2007 Waja also includes both ABS and air bag as standard for the Malaysian market, which were previously optional equipment. At the end of 2005, Proton additionally introduced another variant of the Waja, known as Proton Waja Chancellor, to be used by representatives of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations(ASEAN) during the meeting of ASEAN leaders in the KLCC, shortly before its launch in 2006. The Waja Chancellor has a longerwheelbase and a 2.0 L V6 engine similar to that used in Proton Perdana V6, also sourced from Mitsubishi. By 2008, an updated Waja was launched with an improved Campro engine and a new center console with a new 2-DIN Clarion audio set.

Waja sales in the UK, where it is rebadged as the Impian, did not begin until April 2001, and it has continued virtually unchanged ever since. The Impian is only available with right hand drive while left hand drive models are available elsewhere in Europe as the Waja. Sales have not been strong,^{[citation needed]} as it was behind the best of the competition at its launch and virtually all of its competitors have been replaced since. Its decent ride and handling, generous equipment levels, competitive asking price and comprehensive aftersales package are perhaps the only things that keep it going with British buyers.^{[citation needed]}

To the knowledge you look pictures  all of the city of Kingston upon Hull .. And I believe only the police here are using Proton .. I already had to go in London, Manchester, Liverpool, York, Sheffield and Glasgow .. I never even saw the police using the Proton except in Hull ..


                                 




Actually the police here have used Proton Wira cars since 1996 and turned to the Proton Waja past five years .. Proton Gen-2 was recently used .. Here, the Proton Waja Proton Impian renamed .. Do not be surprised, in fact uses the Proton Impian Humberside Police had won the 'National Energy Efficiency Award' for using Liquified Petroleum Gas' ..

And not just the police, the public was in fact many are using Proton .. Between Proton ever I saw nearby were Proton Satria, Proton Wira, Proton Impian Proton Gen-2 and .. Feel proud when the those countries drive cars made in Malaysia: D





But although the UK to Proton, but we can not compare the UK with the right Proton Proton Malaysia, Proton because I hear the UK is better in terms of quality .. Perhaps even more durable, because the weather here is not the same as at Malaysia ..


I know and your right to be proud because UK police cars to Proton .. hahaha ..
BUT I really want to tell, beginning next month, Humberside Police will convert all Proton cars with Ford Focus ..

Completed this year is 15 years old Proton used by Humberside Police..

FOR years, they were the butt of many jokes throughout the ranks and to the general public.

But now, after five years' loyal service, Humberside Polics's Proton patrol cars are being replaced – a move that is actually set to save money.
Almost £100,000 will be saved across the next four years as the force replaces the much-maligned Proton Impian with the Ford Focus.
Tim Hollis, Humberside Police's Chief Constable, welcomed the move.

He said: "We are moving to a national model for the purchasing of police vehicles and this is going to save us money.
