One of the few problems noted were the braking issues..
Seems that Proton really cuts down on the brake quality to save cost (Only Persona H-Line has full discs and a bigger brake servo, and even that they skim on the pads :-S)
Issue: 'tak tak' sound from rear drum brake audible, braking performance significantly drops, CEL light may come up (still monitoring whether it is related or not)
Cause: the cause of that sound is due to the oem brake shoes being out of spec and thus causing the brake shoe to rub against the hub when the brakes are applied.. Still not sure how the whole car's braking performance was affected but brakes really felt spongy.
Solution: to dissemble the hub.. and smooth-en the brake pads.. don't worry.. they still bite at the 1st handbrake click.. as they only smooth-en the edge.
