Proton original radiator is of very poor quality. Rust prone. Change it as soon and use premixed Toyota Coolant bought from Toyota Service Center to avoid fakes. Toyota SLLC and an aftermarket radiator will last the remaining lifetime of your Saga.

Pros: Toyota Coolant avoids fakes

Cons: Proton radiator poor quality

Mods: None, staying showroom stock. TCL Buyers Guide Negatives / future ownership issues: A) Valley Plate coolant leak: Look for pink crystals (dried coolant) underside of engine near where transmission meets up w engine. Also check upper radiator hose where it connects to radiator. Workaround: 50k/5 year coolant maintenance.

Cons: Valley Plate coolant leak

Vehicle: Lexus
