Back in 2000, Proton made a brave leap to the 21st Century. After decades merely reproducing copycats of Mitsubishi (and one Citroen) models, Proton finally introduce its homegrown product which receive good response from the public. Although aesthetically, I might say flawed, like a Frankenstein monster with bits and pieces from other cars being put together to form a car, like the front grill which resembles to those of Alfa Romeo, and an overall design which look like a Volkswagen Bora, it is still a superb achievement for Proton.
One thing that everyone agrees is that the Proton Waja has an excellent chassis which is tuned by the Proton owned Lotus company, but the original 4G18P engine is a little bit of a let down. The original Mitsubishi sourced engine, with only 100hp on tap, took a lot of effort to move this car which in fact is as big as the previous generation Volvo S40.
