Proton

We don’t know what Malaysian motorists did to upset the gods, but it must have been something pretty serious, judging by the punishment they seem to be getting. Still, at least the domestic audience thinks this stuff is the norm – what on earth do they think they’re doing bringing it to the UK? Walk away.

    GEN-2

    £9,195 - £11,195

    A budget five-door hatchback intended to make you think twice about buying a Focus. Frankly, we think a medium-size cabbage makes a more sensible alternative.

  • Proton Satria - gallery

    Satria-Neo

    £8,495 - £9,495

    Not half-bad hatch with decent Lotus-aided chassis, but lack of space inside, awful badge and ridiculous name make it a must-not-have for the youth it’s aimed at.

  • Proton Savvy

    Savvy

    £7,995

    Truly awful, but we are grateful to Proton for reminding us of how good every other small car on sale in the UK is.  We suggest you try buying one of those instead.
