Proton’s tenure in the UK started off with a bang but ended with a whimper as Malaysia’s first carmaker barely made a dent with buyers who have better options and aren’t constrained with biased regulations. But somewhere between its dramatic rise and silent fall, Proton introduced the Proton Satria GTi to attract buyers. Malaysia’s first hot hatch was sold officially in the UK, Germany, and Australia but the majority of the around 5,000 units built between 1999 and 2006 were sold in Malaysia. In

As far as Proton models go, it's safe to say that the Satria GTi is one that many will look back with much pride and fondness. People who owned one regret selling it, people who didn't, wanted one. It really was a high watermark for Proton and enthusiasts alike. For those not fortunate enough to have owned one of these, now is not too late. You can still find used examples of the Satria GTi today. Admit it, you still want one today. Here's what you need to know. Which variant is the best Satria

With today's Proton hedging its bets on SUVs and mainstream models, past models like the Proton Satria Neo has become all but forgotten.

Proton has sold cars in various countries around the world, including the United Kingdom, Germany, Nepal, and Egypt.

This Satria GTi, however, was spotted on the island of Puerto Rico and it is under the loving care of a proud owner by the name of Rafael Ivan Rivera. He shared his beautiful GTi in a Facebook group dedicated to modified and kit cars in the American territory. Rafael is a very avid

Just last week, we saw the 2020 Proton Saga Anniversary Edition made to celebrate the first Saga launched way back in 1985. Some liked it, but there also were critics that poked fun at Proton - thinking that the Saga is merely a cheap cash grab. Whether or not you liked it is another question, but it’s a fact that Proton had even hotter cars in their 37-year history, namely the Proton Putra, Satria GTI and Wira 1.8 Exi LE. Put side-by-side, each of them makes the Saga Anniversary edition look fa

Limited to just 150 units, the 2004 Proton Satria R3 isn’t something you find in a regular used car lot. Keep in mind that each and every unit of the Satria R3 received a number of improvements over the regular Satria, including a double-stitch welded chassis, retuned suspension, stronger brakes, and a tad bit more power. We've explained before why the Satria R3 is such a big deal here. But once in a blue moon (like now), a unit does surface for sale. As seen on Mudah, a seller has posted up his
