Alex : This is crap car
Malaysia : Fastest selling car in this country
I have a proton saga and I've owned it for 8 years (Proton Saga BLM 2009)
I am malaysia my dad have bmw not proton
@@EagleAirz ok what does that have to do with this comment?
Alex like it bro
Everyone will hate you if you say that....... pentell
From USA and i love malaysian
This Proton (well, the pre-facelift model specifically) launched in Britain back in 1989. Dated though it was, it offered reliable and practical motoring for a small price. Proton's slogan was 'Japanese Technology, Malaysian Style'. By 1991, some 30,000 Protons were sold in the U.K. It was unprecedented; no other car had sold as rapidly as the original Proton did in Britain. It set the record for 'Fastest Selling Make of New Car Ever to Enter the United Kingdom'. These days, you'll be hard pressed to find a Proton of this antiquity in Britain. Like most 80s and 90s econoboxes, they've all but disappeared from the roads... but perhaps not from our memories.
you sure kbow alot about shitty / non interesting cars. what can you tell me abiut thr mustang or corvette that i dont kbow already.
The're ugly and slow?
@SkrawnyJonny : Well, I like old (80s and 90s) cars. Sorry if that bothers you. And unfortunately, the Corvette isn't on sale where I live. For decades, we never got the Mustang either... but we finally got the newest one this year (in right-hand drive). I quite like it. Ford did a good job. Chevrolet should make a RHD Camaro too.
it doesnt bother me that yoy like usdm. you asked if i drove anything usdm and i gave you two examples of mine of how they nearly killed me.
@SkrawnyJonny : Ahh okay, I catch your drift now. haha In that case, sorry for the misunderstanding.
if you come visit Malaysia, you will suprise of how many of this still moving around on the road of my country.
Greetings from Malaysia.
hahaha that's true

£200 quid??? I sold a 52 plate Mondeo ghia estate earlier this year for £80. I'm a fucking idiot.
Nunya Business if it ran and drove yeah you f'ed up
Are those cars actually that cheap? Hell, even with the wheel being on the wrong side for my country (Bulgaria), you could've probably sold it for £900 here.
Nunya Business
You are
Lol bro this car is worth 50P and a packet of Haribo starmix. !)
Sure you do.
The GoPro on the front costs more than the car
He used a knockoff so it was cheaper.
It is a proton saga and Malaysia have a lot of it
The banta People LOL
is iswara not saga
Shawn Ng Jun Rui it is Iswara bro.. First look i knew it
This proton car body is much stronger and the steel is more compact compared to most car nowadays..
but easily torn off yea. the material is good tho
Only the old one
Which is great... unless u crash 😂
True
Just because the body is strong, doesn’t mean it’s safe.
To see a car symbolized as tank in its prime time still being used in modern day, it makes me realize how long lasting it is. The car design has several downsides, it overheats quite easily due to lack of air flow to its radiator. Also its engine lacking a lot of pickup, making the drive going up the hill a bad experience. The car also need a little modification to its suspension with an additional hydraulic to make it a little bit higher. It also need a thicker, wider tire as well. The best thing about the car is, its chassis is damn hard you can physically hit a tree without having too much damage on it.
and?
Tuning it will make it a great rally car, like the Wolseley land crabs with their great rigidity
Very fun video. We need more of these!
+A happy Bambi Ok.
up
Haha next video he gose bankrupt becaust he lost bet with him .
Car Throttle hi I love your videos! What are you gonna do with the car? Please don't scrap it or destroy it, it's one of a kind and we need old cars to stay around for as long as possible!
Car Throttle You should restore it fully and make a series of it
This is the best replacement for TopGear, I'd even argue that this is better & should be on TV
Danny1143 he probably would be good on top gear
Blue Squirrel Football 1000x better then these new scumbags >.
Danny1143 Haha I doubt it, fucking fanny you're mate.
Top Gear needs to hire Alex . He is just as good as Rory Reid!
Andrew GT-B ye true dat
This is the best car ever produced by Proton. I still own the Proton Saga and I am proud of it ! Hope you drive a Mercedez benz through the mud and give a review about it !
😁
Nice
I see what you did there xD
I buy this car in 1996,only once do top overhaul,now the engine still smooth,haha
reminds me a lot about top gear... or what used to be top gear... the humor especially. and just how professional it is. nice
I miss Top Gear really but this is a great alternative
I was just thinking the same. Felt real and fresh like Top Gear circa North Pole Expedition. Tremendous job
LuckyWalle LP Its like methadone to keep us going until the next hit of Top Gear heroine
look up The Grand Tour
I'm talking when Top Gear didn't feel super scripted and over produced. Circa North Pole Expedeition, i.e. 2009. Maybe it was because I was younger, but it felt super fresh. While non-chaps Top Gear is shite, the old program felt stale for many of its last seasons. Grand Tour may bring the magic back, but I doubt it
Around the end of 2014, my hometown in Malaysia was struck by a massive flood that sunk almost the whole state. One of my relatives had this car and his car was 100% submerged in the water. After the flood subside, a month later, he worked on it to revive it. He succeed.
The older Protons are the easiest car to work on. Barely any reliable issues.
Takumi Fujiwara I bet these shitboxes work better when submerged.
Sirion shitbox to you, but to some people, this might be the only mode of transportation people have.
You are a good guy.
***** yup
Legend has it a man used this car to go into his kebun. Since then we had race named rally.
Buy a proton wira and you will get an evo 3 brother 😂

5:48 “unsuitable for most motor vehicles.” No shit Sherlock
LMAO that's a proton saga and yes that scrap is actually very "lasak" lol, I mean my dad used to drove that car into a lot of muddy area and it's been around for more than 20 years before he decided to sell it off. Sad, if he didn't, I'll actually be using it.
And yes, built like a tank.
You call that a unicorn? We got thousand of them in Malaysia 😂
HAHAHAHAHA even the new ones shit XD
+Jasper Ragavan the new one isn't shit, it's just cheap.
Well it's still not up to most standards of cars in UK tho
Nearly all Proton sucks, the Waja is a WRX STI ripoff, the Inspira is a Lancer ripoff, etc
+7367Network WRX? you must be really dumb!
It's a Proton Saga. The first car the Malaysian company ever came out. Basically, it's a reworked Lancer Fiore. The engine is either 1.3 or 1.5 if I'm not mistaken.
4 left in Britian eh? This car is still everywhere in Malaysia. Boring and crappy, but they are really solid and reliable cars.
ToperMasterComedy its sucks
mikey fong Yep. It sucks. I would rather have any other car than this.
But you can't hide the fact they are really reliable and solid. That's why many of these are still on Malaysian roads today.
Buy one in Malaysia,ship it to UK,sell for triple the price
haha yea true bro boring n crappy..but the tough about malaysian car is their all can go through all banjir bro..so syiokk weh..i already try wit my fren car..hahahaha
That Proton Saga Iswara is the best car in Malaysia already. Sounds funny.
Any Malaysians watching?

Abdullah Mohamademin They got it running again ages ago
UGU Zach watch the video then talk
Really, they did get phil running again. The latest video concerning the little MX5 is how much boost it can take with the new flywheel.
STAY AWAY FROM MY PROTON!
You have one?
GTA Wise Guy oml
GTA Wise Guy I used to own one. Haha
Never know GTA Wise Guy owned one, I've owned one. The Proton Wira. In Malaysia. This car is common. But other country, I dunno
GTA Wise Guy it is you lol.
It's a bit sad to think that this car was once brand new, and now it's almost destroyed.
Someone made good use of it so no worries
When I was with my ex, we had one of these as a dump run/shopping trolley/wheelbarrow/incontinent-cat-to-the-vet car. They were over engineered: if that many bits can fall off and the car still work, it didn't need them in the first place. It came with an ashtray, the perfect place to keep screws that fell out of the dashboard.
As for confusion about the model name, we just used to fill in Shmoton. The Proton Shmoton. Perfect.
In American we would have named that car Hillary Shittin.

im still using this car,i got it from my dad.. Pronton Iswara Sedan 2001 with power steering and power windows.. it still runs on the original 1.3 Mitsubishi engine,only once overhauled.. he's been using it for almost 15 years until he gave it to me.. the engine is still smooth,power windows still works,power steering also works well.. for a full tank,i can drive almost 500miles.. come here to Malaysia dude,and you can still see this legendary car and its old Proton Saga predecessor roaming the streets.. im proud to be one of the owner to this so called TANK.. hahahaha!!
Try not to hit anyone because your car might survive but theirs might present you a hefty repair bill for all the crumple zone damage
If it were fixed, it'd be a cute little sedan.
***** I like how it looks. A little boxy, small... Looks better than some American cars at least. You CAN'T say the Pinto or Gremlin looks better.
I'd turn it into a sleeper, leave the body the way it is, get the interior cleaned out, it'd be a fun car to surprise people.
put LS inside it lol
Pinto and gremlin do look better
Ramen Jesus I love the gremlin

That's a Lancer engine under the hood, that's why it's still running.

fuck jeeps or suzukis or whatever. THIS is an off-road car
What about the 1970s AWD Subaru Leonne? That has all-wheel drive.

the cars real name is Proton Iswara. its made in Malaysia. the new model is called Proton Saga. they are not bad actually. maintainance is good and the mitsubishi engine is bulletproof.
i think its the 4g13 engine, if im not mistaken.
+asd123asd yg first skali tu saga dulu...lepastu iswara then skarang dia baru guna balik nama saga tu
Proton Saga Iswara. Saga nameplate never remove from the Iswara. Look at the bonet
I like your sarcasm.
+asd123asd the real name is saga..the first model of proton..most of malaysian know that...
"Rarer than Bugatti Veyron" i'm 💀💀💀
Alex needs to come to Malaysia and drive some of the properly modded Protons here. He'll have a right ol' good time in one of these cars.
In my country malaysia where proton is born, we called this car a tank haha
Haduh😒
Well I am from singapore
It even can transform ...
@@sealomarshall6178 saya setuju
recipy for a cheap and fast car:
- get a shitty super cheap car
- do some serios weight reduction
- more weight reduction
- and even more weight reduction
and you are ready
M4D AL3X ready to start reducing weight you mean?
Souheib Merge just reduce the weight. Just throw everything thats not necesary for driving away. For example seats you wont be using
M4D AL3X Dude you are right. How could I be stupid. Running is indeed faster.
Κωστής Φωτόπουλος
?
M4D AL3X how can it be a sleeper with half the car cut off.... it's quite noticeable ha like what mcm did they cut the whole back of a car off and it did 0 to 60 in like half the time it did it before weight reduction
4:27 A friend's Chevy Astro cargo van and a Blazer I almost bought had that same issue.
I really like things that go both ways 😂😂😂😂
Like this wrench 😂
alright then, next challenge, putting it through a service
why would giving it a service be a challenge? older the car, easier it is.
Not always true. My 1995 Subaru is easier to work on than my 1984 Dodge truck was. Less vacuum lines than the truck, and the computer is able to tell you where to start looking if something's wrong with the engine, but not intrusive enough to be confusing.
Can confirm. Early but not too early EFI systems are the easiest to work on. You want new enough that it doesn't do stupid stuff, but not so new that the beancounters took a chainsaw to the BOM.
Jack Deveney Proton is basically extinct in the UK now.
Donald Dump ahahahaahahaha

they need to get another one called Hillary clinturd and have a race

if it smells in the car you should get one of those little tree air fresheners. I park my car at work every day underground and its a pretty musty parking garage/car park and it keeps my baby fresh! (Vanilaroma is the best!!!)

Thanks Tun for the pride.
this car(Saga in Malaysia/Knight GLS in the UK if not mistaken) is also featured in Mr Bean's segment where he plays golf.. the golf ball stucked to Saga's muffler causing its engine to explode... oh so nostalgic thanks for featuring among most durable car in history in your channel.. at least for us Malaysians.

I have an 3 years old Mercedes GLK as a company car, for example. And its useless because Im afraid to dent the car or scratch the paintwork.

Nah.. they have been taken over by Fiat Ducatos now

I have a great Idea for a new video series and to get closer with the fans
I think most of us want a new series, the "Crap Car Review" Series, and the fans could donate some money to you, and with that money you can buy crappy cars and do skits with it or anything like that.

You could make some videos exploring old abandoned/junked cars, kinda like those people who explore abandoned buildings. Just a thought for the future.
Andrew GT-B I have actually been doing that and uploaded some videos of it. There's one barn find and one car I found in a forest that I have on video but can't upload right now. I might also start recording videos of me and my mates building and driving cars like mcm or roadkill in the future. Just on a smaller budget though
