Too many buyers in the budget family saloon sector, the Proton Impian is still something of a mystery. The name, which allegedly means 'dream come true' in Malaysian hardly endears it to those bred on Vectras and 406s. Still, it could have been worse. It was originally slated to be a Waja. As a used prospect, the Impian is a gem. Tracking one down is another matter.
In the here and now, the gap between a £12,000 budget family saloon and something like a Mondeo or a Vectra is most evident in terms of interior design. Whilst being workmanlike and ergonomically sound, from a design perspective, the South-East Asians have never quite hit the bullseye. Perhaps this is being overly charitable. Never quite hit the dartboard may well be a truer assertion. Certainly the Impian isn't going to appeal to those with an eye for a classy cabin, although the LX model packs in a fair amount of buttons to press. For a flagship model, some of the fittings are unacceptably poor, but for the most part the quality and build integrity is way ahead of anything the company has yet produced. Rendered in some fairly unappetising hues, the Impian features seats that need to be reappraised to fit the British frame and a stereo system so loud you'll be envy of every Nova-driving teenager in the neighbourhood. With traction control, ABS and four airbags as standard, the Impian won't lack showroom appeal. Couple that with a tidily styled body and the Proton has a fair bit to recommend it.

Great review as ever. Are there any left on UK roads? Haven't seen one in years.
I own this car.. 18year already ... The engine very realible... Never repair... Just made a normal maintainne..
But, got issue with fuel pump, 3 time change.
And broke a door handle..
Useful feedback
Malaysian owner here. Mine is 2006 version with 1.6 L Mitsubishi engine 4G18 . I agree with the handling .
Btw Impian used the same chassis with Volvo S40 which coming from Mitsubishi Charisma.
No.
I like the name Proton but again they look ugly I need to do better in engine sizes and I bet you the road tax is about 250 quid a year I think they got a long way more to go yet for somebody other than old people to buy them.
They’re pretty dreadful, but by far is the crash protection 😬
These were absolute garbage.
malaysia car....this engine from mitsubishi age ago....fuel not effisien....
