The hand of Lotus makes Satria GTi a great Proton, but only a good hot hatch
Not content with beating the Daewoos and Kias of this world by shipping out cheap and reliable yet not very interesting cars, Proton has been trying to inject a bit of excitement into the range. First, it went shopping and bought Lotus, then it introduced a one-make race series for the Coupe, and finally it gave its Satria hatchback to Lotus's very talented engineers, and told them to turn it into a class-leading hot hatch. Well, they've had a go, but they hardly had the best material to start with.
