Conclusion

The 1.3-liter engine may be a little bit underpowered compared to its rival models, but it already has quite an impressive fuel economy at 20km/L (economy 5 modes). The lower suspension and stiffer brakes definitely add up to make the car more responsive and safe to drive. There are also a number of upgrades that go well with the model’s sporty looks. However, besides these factors, are there other reasons behind Proton targeting this specific market segment?
