One of the finest car that Proton ever produced. It's durability & reliability was in par with Saga Magma.
In Malaysia, Impian is called Waja. And you can still see abundant of this magnificient machine being driven on the road to this day. That shows how reliable it is as a daily ride.
one of the most unridicolous design . design tak merepek.. engineer masa dlu mmg bagus . skrang ni hm
@@halim1644 sekarang parts kena tunggu 6 Bulan abis je ni
stupidest car ever. especially the auto gearbox.
My dad used to owned one since brand new. Everything was reliable except the window controls😅
For the first time im so proud to see a local talk to a foreigner with the best of integrity and style. Best of it answer what he was asked . Thats no more this days !
I still drive 2003 proton waja until today... Engine was good and comfortable to drive...
Yeah...i have too
@@tolkonkonto same..
Same here. Mmc engine
Yes... my waja born in 2002... but still good condition and handleling to explore in peninsular malaysia...
I owned this car 15 years already. Still running perfectly.
What a sad life
@@_zigger_ What a stupid comment
@@_zigger_such a sad comment
You still have it?
@@_zigger_ womp womp,people like most likely no life btw
A smart designed car, looks more expensive than it is.
Kia was there too, but sadly Proton never caught up with Koreans since then.
It is very simple than we actually think.........get a German
Hey now proton move on and advanced already
@@anakudsyurga because they use china geely cars
@@heywatchme101 and geely daddy of volvo😃
hello all... please help me for subscribe my channel... thank you very much for all subscribe... ☺️☺️☺️
My father still drive the 2001 Waja until now. Nice car. Mitsubishi engine is marvelous with Waja.
@Bob Jo what's your problem? Haters?
Mine has 2002 Waja. Now it's 180k km on the clock and running smoothly.
Great car with awesome ride and handling. Only to be let down by poor quality materials supplied by local vendors. Great engine gearbox combo, mated to a balance chassis developed by Lotus.
Top Gear (now the Grand Tour) should have came and did an epic race in Malaysia. I'm sure Jeremy would be fine on the highways!
Chances are they will come to Malaysia/ South East Asia within the next year since theyre ditching the tent for season 4
jace888 actually Top Gear still exists and The Grand Tour is a separate show
@@co1581 nut
he'd be very fine since the highways move at speeds at 0.32 miles per hour
Jeremy: "Sadly, half the crew and my esteemed colleagues were hit with a rather severe case.. of the runs."
I like the way he criticizes proton car names.... Ps I'm Malaysian I just find the way foreigners don't get the name & make fun of it lol
Ok bang
And I bet you you would do the same if it was a name u get and understand and u can hardly call English foreigners as this video was made in England so it would be you that the foreigner
I have an Impian GSX and I love it. It's a great little car and totally reliable.
It's a nice car. few days ago I met some of Malay uncles were having Waja club at Tesco, I guess. All looks good and maintained well :)
tengok video ni sampai habis, xyah mengarut....dia ckap semua kelemahan tu tapi kan pastu dia ckap semua ni berparutan dgan harga and dia ckap goodluck lagi dekat proton
Are you sure?
Aq rasa kau salah
Betul la dia cakap ala-ala mercedes sikit dan harga berbaloi dan kelemahan lain yang skrg proton dah improve.. siap goodluck to proton tapi sekarang proton dah kena tempias politik.. proton bagus sebenarnya.
@@torquern.a7692 agreed
Back in the UK I owned a proton persona and....well.... I loved it. It shat over the ford escort I had before it.
Must say proton have done a really great job on this car . Who's the designer bro ?
Hellen Keller
my uncle have 1st model Proton Saga, and still runs well.
depends on how u take care of ur car.
I have 2000s model for Wira. Still ok until now.. 😀😀
I have proton wira aeroback with 1.6litre mitsu engine
This is from 2001 compare to now its been 18 years so...of course there is a lot more improvised since then but not bad for first product of proton.
There was a stretched wheelbase 2.0V6 Mitsubishi engined version of this car sold in Malaysia...Shame we never got that engine as an option in the standard wheelbase car for the uk..
Proton Chancellor, right?
Syawal Hamidi yes the Chancellor
Sepatutnye kita bangga dgn produk kita sendiri.. sbb negara luar pn puji produk kita
wot u sayin m8
The Waja is still Malaysia's Fastest Production car 240kmh top speed the rest of the proton's old and new 180kmh - 230kmh top speed...yup the Waja is the fastest as for Perodua's 180kmh - 220kmh top speed reason why Wiras and Wajas are Malaysia's police cars with their speed and impressive handling they hard to lose in a chase
Alistair Diren x for doubt
Nope, perodua myvi can fly even without wings. Wira cannot challenge myvi.
had to admit, even my Proton Inspira do 220-230 stock max speed.
thats why its still used as malaysian police cars
about myvi, even Lamborghini give way to high beam Myvi at right lane... especially yellow Taliban ones lol
Too bad new Myvi's ASA only works at speeds below 30km/h. More flying Peroduas without wings!
Bala korg buat lawak haha myvi sentiasa boleh
I took a ride in a taxi waja and it feels so goooood at the backseat. I heard it was selling like hotcakes. Orders had to be placed in advanced. They must make a new version this year I hope
Ya. And the new version is called the Preve
It's been a while since I saw a Waja/Impian on Malaysian roads.
every car is built for specific target group...ferrari's are not ur standard people's car same goes to proton it is targeted to middle and low income users so mocking a car and comparing it to a high end vehicle is actually mocking a poor person and comparing him/her to the rich elites....obviously car segments need a joke car for fun and games but they have to realize in reality some people buy proton not because the love it but its the only thing that they can afford and its good enough.
He was actually quite supportive of the car and the company.
you need to realize that the car's price are the same as any other brand which is better in quality
Luqmanul Hakim the best comment ever
No. Malaysia just tax the other imported cars to make proton cheap , so your point is basically moot . Toyota / Subaru is is a proton level car in terms of pricing in Japan , but quality wise proton can go fly kite
Don't best here best there leh . Here not utusan or malaysiakini , whole world is reading ur stupid comment
This car is converted (exterior) to all sort of cars in malaysia, evo 7, golf 6, bmw e60, and then cla tail lights too
Still driving this !
In it's stock state its kinda decent but throw in a TDO4 turbocharger in there and then you'll really get a feel for it.
My first impression. Driving layout was great for short drivers.
So this where Richard Hammond was before Top Gear and The Grand Tour
Yes, all 3 of them got their start being car reviewers for local auto magazines, then graduated to local car shows as reviewers, then made their way p to having their own show.
Once i drove a brand new toyota vios from the showroom and driven that for nearly 100km.parked the car and drove my 10 years old father inlaw waja,condition uncaring at all..
But suprised me!!!!the 10 years old waja ride n hanlding are FAR MORE NJOYING N FIRM..the interior is WAYYYYYY ergonomics n better than the over priced and over praised toyata VIOS..
That's the charming nature of Lotus Ride and Handling
All proton products.. The handling r good.. Excellent. Event it is Wira. I have both. MyVi and Wira. Handling for MyVi-out..!! My father have Waja 2001. And Waja handling more better than my moms car-The Honda Ketam 2019..😅😅
positif review dr Hammond... yg komen negatif semua org Malaysia... hairan...
Haters gonna hate bruh.. dorg x pnh rasa drive waja kot ataupun sbb x branded.. i dont give a fuck minat masing2 kn just respect each others.. suruh try dulu mesti dorg (kalu jenis jujur la x poyo) akn ckp.. 'wehh sedap kete ni' mostly my friend comment ni bruh jujur ramai yg suka bila dh test drive waja..
Nama pon melayu
You guys are too young buddy. Waja mmg bnyk masalah sampai air blh masuk kete. Reverse gear rosak.
Politik bro
Eksen juga ko ni
Kalau dah slogan pun 'Japanese Technology, Malaysian Style', macam tu la jadinya...
Tapi nak main banding, tak patut banding dgn keta kelas mewah, sebab Proton ni untuk yang pertengahan je... Tapi memang puas hati la... Ayah aq pakai Proton Wira 1.5GLi tahun 2002, jaga servis masa mula-mula dapat je, tapi maintain je dia pandu sampai 110km/h tiap kali ambil aq dari sekolah... Cuma, tidak semua yang sempurna dan kelemahan itu satu kepastian...
Syawal Hamidi biase lah kelemahan kerate atas jalan lagi² pulak orang yang bawak tu kalau boleh masuk gaung ojer diterima ka tu
Sanin Jonetsu cuma tu la, beberapa hari lpas ayah aq bawak aq dan adik aq nk beli barang2 keperluan harian, sekali dia pandu cecah 140 km/h, aq yng duduk depan pun tersengih mcm kerang busuk lpas tengok meter tu... Atas jln lurus lah, kereta tak byk sgt time tu jadi senanglah nk pecut...
Syawal Hamidi hahahaha jangan sampai terbang nanti payah nanty psl ape selalu boleh fly atas divaide tu hahahaha
@@kucingmeowcanteq7994
Betul tu, tapi sekarang Proton macam mencuba untuk masuk ke tahap pasaran yang lebih tinggi dengan kemunculan X70 dan X50.
Race..Rally..Research..that was cool n comfortable sedan car from PROTON Malaysia 💪👍👍
RALLY
@@aanfarhan8852 yeah RALLY👍👍
im proud to be malaysian
i love this car
3:12 wow he did came to malaysia to review it
I got a gen 2 love it
Humberside Police once had these as Panda cars.
hence why the crime rate was so high.
What's the music at 5:01?
This version of waja is perfect with Mitsubishi engine. Don't ever get anything with cps or campro. It's stupid
Agree
N renault engine
indeed. This 4G18 is bulletproof. And that 1.8 renault engine... Just stay far far away from it...
You're can swap it to mmc engine
My father had the waja 1.8x it was really fast BUT the engine was having some issues and he fixed for like 5-6 times and it couldnt work. So he sold it and got a vellfire instead
It want just the engine that was Mitsubishi but the platform was based on the 1995 Mitsubishi charisma/volvo s40
Ashley Sutherland do you mean that Waja?
yup, that's right
I saw someone replace the rear light to something looks like BMW 5 series rear light :D
My dad's first car.. Sold after crash last year... kinda miss it ://
That car is in my driveway now
My waja mod in awd and 4g63t.
Still had the 2002 Waja.
That is proton waja in Malaysia
review proton iriz please....
waja is base on volvo car...
Dia pergi kuantan ke?
If you know what impian or raja is in english its not a bad name
finally, he likes the steering.
Literally every old proton can be a sleeper. Be aware.
Cool bro proton Malaysia car
Impian=dream
Handling wise.. i had test drive my uncle's waja
@Futurebreeze dude i love how it's handle. Proton handling are the best especially when doing fast corners
@Futurebreeze it's up to you on what you think. I think it a decent car quite a good engine (mitsubishi 4g18 for sure)
@Futurebreeze why not right
@Marc Archibald why rubbish car?
All those saying “no no Proton actually make good cars”
Stop kidding yourselves
No
Actually they're quite reliable and they're very easy to maintain. The only problem is that the body of the car is quite thin
Well, they've improved over the years and have produced good cars.
No no Proton actually make good cars ngl. Since most of Proton engines are sourced from Mitsubishi, the reliability is awesome. Campro engine is pretty reliable but more powerful, more powerful than most MMC engines lineup in old Proton. Meanwhile TGDI engines are the most powerful one ever used in Proton cars, and it has Volvo DNA.
@Andrew Yu Young Earn lmao ngl Campro is pretty not pro at all🚶♂🚶♂why do they even make basic 4cyl engine with...nothing?
We Americans almost did have Proton back in 1988 but it failed to meet our strict emissions standards
"Even their own pencil"...that's hilarious! Hawau .. awal2 dah kena bahan. But still, waja 1st model still the best!
4 speed auto or 5 speed manual
Lotus handling..i like it
I'm here just to hear Hammond says "impian", means "hope" in indonesian or malaysia.
"Impian" also means "dream"...
Proton or Perodua, which Malaysian car to get? I think Proton.
☢ SNICKERS 5+2 GRATIS ☢ Neither 😂
☢ SNICKERS 5+2 GRATIS ☢ for now..if u prefer safety and handling its Proton, Perodua is only gud for the money..but well when it comes to leasing cars, it's better to flush ur money in the toilet rather than getting any Perodua brandnew
proton>produa
☢ SNICKERS 5+2 GRATIS ☢ i have both...produa myvi and proton waja...
I prefer Proton.
This car is just like me. It's great
Unfortunately after this Proton has downridden itself selling "compact sedans" whilst the Korean automotive giants has gone with bigger and a bit more "luxurious sedans"..
they do it for a reason; local demands. We need a smaller, cheaper, reliable car.
Its my dad's first car
Ini malaysia boss....sapa rakyat mai komen
"scoops spoilers and tail fins all around..."
Hammond is Malaysian confirmed
90% of waja I seen on roads either met 1,2 or all three criteria
This Is proton Waja(Malaysia)
I’m Using it till now, with ODO 417600 😆
the waja is still fucking around in malaysian roads my man, that shows what a tank they are.
Good car
I have a 2003 WAJA...still in good condition, just becarefull with the plug coil😂
In malaysia we called it Waja
Woiiii proton masuk uk oit. Hehehe
Dream car
etma01 Your'e dreams aren't something
Why dreams? Just buy it goddammit
proton cars are actually shit. I live in malaysia
Actiminium better than your Civic Ughhh😠
SJM 1407 S DARWISH no
E10 petrol compatible ?
Probably not tbh
What? It's my fav car!
who else here miss old proton logo emblem
I wondered what the hamster was up to after he `left` top gear .
If Proton Impian Was Sultan RS From GTA?
No.
@@TeddyRSS1666 its not "If" because it was a spelling mistake tho.
Sultan rs is more like subaru i think
Dulu malaysia atas landasan yg betul…
Technically good, but the poor 3 star EURONCAP crash rating lets it down
Impian..at its homecountry..Proton Waja
In Malaysian, they called a Proton Waja
So sad. Proton cease their UK car sales.😢😭Hope to see X70/X50 being sold there.
it's pretty hard to enter EU since they have strict emission regulations
Heard of Proton propose about Saga Hybrid. Hasn't really fruitful.
These always make me think of Humberside Police...
Don’t forget, the engine for all proton is under Mitsubishi motors.
Except the CamPro engines, some European engines, Suzuki's engine and Geely's engines...
But you must know that Inspira's engines (Mitsubishi 4B1X series) also derived from Hyundai Theta engine
@@torquern.a7692 You sound downright ignorant. Toyota has made plenty of good cars through their own effort and platform and successfully sold internationally. Meanwhile Proton, whether their own creation or rebadge/collab with other companies, have yet to make an international presence after coming to 4 decades. 4 bloody decades. Can you remember a time when Proton actually occupied more than 10% of any foreign country's car market share? Speaking of the new Supra, at least it had a significant amount of genuine Toyota involvement in comparison to Proton's full rebadge (just look at X50, X70, Inspira, Perdana etc).
Brother this car can upgrade because this car enjine following mitsubishi evolution 3 lancer
Malaysia boleh
Thx tun mahathir
@@mdasri2629 Mahathir pun gulingkan diri sendiri letak jawatan pastu nak jadi balik bodoh
DIAMOND BLAZE 456 Everything lah yg ni pun nak politik ka waduh
Malaysians should be proud because your country can built Volvo S40 with an affordable price
Welease... Waja!!!
2022...still drive my proton waja...good car...faster car...👍
Lol I live in the uk and own a proton savvy
