proton jumbuck ?
My old ford courier ute is starting to break down and costs heaps for petrol so i googled for an economical ute and the proton jumbuck seems to fit the bill.
Has anyone here had any experience with them?
regards flicker.

I dont know much (anything) about the Proton but do know that their not that common, not many dealers and may depreciate quicker than normal.
Im therefore not too sure what the parts/service backup is like and what aftermarket part backup is avaliable but could imagine not too good.
Do some research, talk to the dealer about the price of parts like headgaskets, headlights, fan belts and startermotor etc. and if they keep stock.
Then compare to other brands that are better known and supported.
buy a hilux, ive had 4 of them and never had any trouble, and they their resale value is good.
Our mate has a Proton ute. The one leaf springs and 500kg limit kinda defeats the purpose of it being a ute in the first place, eh?

Reminds me of the 3 cylinder Suzuki Mightyboys lol
I remember that there was one at Geelong railway station once that they used to use to go from one platform to another for passengers luggage to their train.
but it wasn't too successful for taking elderly people to their train that easily then they got rid of the mighty boy about a month or two later and got a golf buggy instead, which is still being used today with more proven positive results for passenger needs.
