Why no Proton Satria on sg roads?

Silver color is Satria Gti 1.8.... in malaysia there are ranges of color like blue, red, green, etc for satria 1.3 and 1.6. Satria gti has twin square exhau...

I am no car expert, but I’m just curious as to how come the beautiful proton satria isn’t on sg road? too ex? actually, i didnt know that it was a proton satria until someone told me…it looks like an old honda esi hatchback…dont know about the specs though…

Bloop... SG

Laughing Old Honda hatchback? Dude! The Satria is the old model Mitsubishi Colt... Anyway I think maybe it's stigma, no one wants to drive a "Mat" car Mr. Green (just kidding). Personally I wouldn't get one cause I know how cheap they are just across the causeway and how much they cost here.

interior really low rent Laughing

You just have to open your eyes bigger. There is Satria GTi on the roads.

we hav Satria GTI but not Satria...
i juz saw two of these last week n tot they were malaysian car but its not...
malaysia got lots of fake GTi but in sg if u see one n its confirmed not fake one.
the body is more like the old colt instead of the civic hatch...
its a 1.8litre dohc engine...about 140-150 hp...
there r only a few in sg i think is bcos its quite pricey for proton...
cost around $110K when it was launched... Laughing

DaKaR SG

Singapore got quite a few Satria GTi...
So far i saw abt 3-4 at Turf City car mart...

Hairyworm SG

I saw abt 2 on the road already. It is a nice car. Maybe becos of the name proton. Dat y not much ppl buy. But i have saw review on the web. The comments for tis car is not bad!

free4ever SG

ya, agree. Some people are bias towards Malaysia produced car. Have also read rather positive and encouraging comment for the Satria. Shd be a good car. Morale of the story: Not all Proton cars are "cannot make it type" Wink

LittleTiger SG

The car performance is good...... pickup is consider fast than normal cars and top speed at 200km/h
But..... there are still squeaking sound found on that car like other proton do...... then only draw back. Sad

LCL SG

Funnily, their LATEST Satria is still based on the early 90s Colt! Talk about an Innovative Malaysian company!

Hairyworm SG

But i think since it is a light car. I think it will be flying at 200Km/h

Offcially, C&C brought in 20 units of the proton satria GTi back in the 90s. Sales wasn’t good of cos being 1.8L eng too big for Cat A , underpowered against the cat B turbo monsters. Imagine drive in to JB, kenna chiat by satria-lution. Over the years some crash total loss some exported (to as far as AUS). oni a handful left. No doubt they will be kept alive by their passionate owners, juz like the daihatsu charade GTti and suzuki swift GTi. sigh

AE86tofu SG

have wad....u see those mitsu colts on the roads? (the old ones) satiras are basically EXACTLY the same as those.....

D16Z6 SG

their body r the same....
but under the hood,everything is diff....
the Satria GTi can easily takes on a Colt... Laughing

LittleTiger SG

Of course….. colt is 1.6 and satria Gti is 1.8

huoye SG
