  1. My daily driver is a proton jumbuck ute 1.5 litre 5 speed manual only 2003 model No air bags either Why sales stopped couldn't pass safety standards They only had to put air bag in them and would've passed Made by Malaysia car company and government They got proton to refine the suspension and handle quite well especially for ute Running and cab forward are all 1990 on Mitsubishi component's and still use as cross over parts Also put 750 kgs in back and only change is take off a few more rpms put put handle brake similar to empty Mine has done 247 .000 klms and still going Only thing had to change since owning window mechanism hazard switch clutch battery in 5 years Still running same tyres and brakes Front discs brakes drum on rear which works with type of wieght link to prevent rear drums locking and adjusts on wieght carrying Why it handles similar loaded or unloaded It's all part of proton technology that made proton racing vechiles Their not common vechiles here very cheap to run due to small engine and bullet proof Mitsubishi running gear Power range between 2,500 to 3,500 rpms At 60 klms sit on 1,500 rpms at 110 klms sit on 3,000 rpms Only time lack of power is steep hills but in Australia πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί far and few between But quite OK on moderate to low hills don't need to change gears Steep hills need decent run up but risk here large fines lose of licence I agree with rather no abs brakes much better feel and control of braking But as you said need to be a petrol head to have that type of feel Abs is suited for majority as they just push pedal as hard as they can and not release pedal pressure I've always driven old chryslers have a 1965 v8 in shed that use on sparkling due to getting parts From memory the first manufacturer V8 in Australia πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί everything prior was only assembled here The model before 1964 was mixture of usa and Australian manufacturing To tell the difference is the wiper Cowell and blades work opposite Usa operates right to left where's Australian left to right Also dash panels are different as changed angle of column one has smaller arch in dash and gauge cluster Where other has large arch in dash and cluster These are A bodies chysler valiants and anything prior to 1965 was imported from usa and assembled here in my home town Cheers mate πŸ¦˜πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‘
