I love this car, it has just under 33,000 miles now. Runs really well, lovely engine, fun to drive. Very reliable, never let me down, starts every time. Done 1,000 miles in a weekend once, never skipped a beat. Nice to hear you have good memories! Great little cars. I've had the car nearly three years myself and only saw one other on the road in the UK since. I will do an update video at some point.
@@takauchinishika4701 it is a TANK rather than a car. Too high durability, just goooo what ever type of terrain you'll can go through it just great ahaha
give it another 50 years, it will be one of beauty classic car with full spec sedan. i just repaint and refurbished my saga Iswara 1997 after 22 years serving. Not like there are no better car to buy, but iswara had a sentimental memories for me.
Met a guy once in Weymouth who one of these for mini-cabbing - did some 300k mls + and was getting a new one - he was selling the original on to a mate who was staring mini-cabbing himself !! Sewing machine smooth.
Had one of these, the emerald spec ran it for 5 years went through mot every year for peanuts outlay . Bought for £450 sold £150 Also had the mitsubishi Lancer as well
Bought a Proton Aeroback with sunroof in 1996 in Torquay for 800 pounds, and used it till october 2000. Used it in Exeter where I studied. Travelled with it to Dartmouth, and as far as Lands End/ Penzance/ St Ives, Glasgow and to Disney land Paris via Dover > Calais. I left it to the Exeter City Council in late 2000 for it to be disposed. Love it so much while my colleagues went for Mercedes, I stick to Proton.
Viewing your video, reminds me of mine, which was a 1.5SE Saloon with 3 speed automatic, similar colour to yours. It was sad that I was forced to sell off mine. I ran into financial problem.
I learned to drive in one of those!I wasn't disappointed apart from the time I stopped for my mum to go to Somerfield that shows how long ago it was! The car wouldn't start after she got her shopping , the AA guy couldn't get it started either so it had to be transported back to my mum's house! It turned out the esu was knackered so my mum scrapped it!
Cool car! I am glad I finally got to see the old girl, May she serve you well for many more years. As always thanks for all the things you do and post and best of luck in the future in all things, P.S. Not really secret if you say it live LOL
Yes I still have it, just needs an MOT. I'm waiting for a metal fuel cap from Malaysia which is taking forever! The original fuel filler pipe had to be replaced due to corrosion, that one used a plastic screw on cap. Managed to get hold of a new original fuel filler pipe from someone which has now been fitted but it requires a metal cap! Very frustrating. I've literally not seen one on the road during my ownership, they are practically extinct over here. Just over 27,000 miles now, still amazes me how fun these are to drive, little tin can with a lively engine. I'll do an update video at some point when its got an MOT again.
@@HypaGames Nice. Can you make another review for it please. I like to see the way you kept it original. You can always let me know if you need help sourcing for parts in Malaysia. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a parts seller just sharing the same passion.
Proton saga iswara 1.5 4g15 original mitsubishi engine power no bad fuel economy to very easy to get the spare part and in malaysia this car now we call the old school car classic proton saga iswara
If you can't afford or find an old Mitsubishi Colt or Lancer in budget then these cars are an awesome alternative as they are basically a bit of both cobbled together. They are easy to keep going and I believe parts are still made in Malaysia pretty cheaply. It's a greatly under-appreciated shed.
Good car start every day and next to nothing to buy you sir are the clever one not the numpties who pay a fortune for a new car and loose so much as soon as it's off the forcourt.
Haha, need to find that fuse standard feature in all proton, everybody must remove it, 😊i love early 90s late 80s cars more fun more character and much more exciting to drive👍
I am still using this Iswara auto uk spek...save maintenance... spare part...mro cheap...thinking wanna to cut the steering half... like eroplane... hahaha...
My mates Proton is an automatic and recently when he first exsellrates off from a set of lights or whatever the engine is really loud but just crousing at anything over 40mph it sounds fine and it hasn't allways done this it's only recently been louder. No engine warning lights come up at all I just know and so does he the engine shouldn't be that loud first exsellerating would you possibly know as to know this could be. And no there no damage to it.??
That does sound very strange. Hopefully someone will see your comment and help. Perhaps you could post a video of what is happening and place a link on this page, I could pin the comment at the top of the comments section until someone can give you some advice?
@@HypaGames I have a video of his car but it's not great and he said he will take it to a Garage after the lockdown is lifted but cheers for the offer of help and replying.👍. Save travelling
wow...... ur system more advanced i saw the efi system then the 3rd generation saga like mine that still using carburator system even it was made 2007...people mod that car using advanced engine here like the 4gxx series of mitsubishi engine
I find it hilarious that this model is also fitted with an alarm system and immobiliser ! I never have it activated though. Oh yes and to top that off the steel wheels have locking wheel nuts!
You could say that but it's based on the Mitsubishi Colt from the 1980s so it wasn't modern in 1996 at all. Some people will know where i'm coming from, cars today (cheap ones) all the same, no character, too many sensors etc, throw away like a washing machine. Clearly these were built to last, I've had no problems really and just done 800 journey in it. You'll always be able to fix this cheap as long as it doesn't rust away.
@@HypaGames dont get me Wrong, i think its sweet, but its what People would call modern rubbish when this thing was new. Seems like the most honest cars get bullied the most
Ahh yes I understand :-) Yes totally agree, this was the cheapest car in the UK at the time. Now I have literally not seen another one on the road in the UK since buying because people see it as a joke. As I say in the video it was nearly scrapped! Would of been such a waste as I've now done about 12,000 miles in it, works perfectly. Just people of the looks and because it's called a Proton people wouldn't be seen dead in it over here. Most obviously like to have an image on the road, don't get me wrong it's nice to have a decent modern car but these days in the UK it's all fake on finance etc. But yeah this is a very honest car, fun and reliable. Only let down is safety aspect I guess but that's the risk you take when driving an old tin can with no air bags or abs etc!

You can modify this car with your own. This engine if you want to keep 4G15 original or swap into 4G63T or 4G93 if you do some modifications.......Muffler, manifold and pipe exhaust also you can do from aftermarket parts😊😊😊

Please do a update video mate. This car is the pride of Malaysia
In UK this car is basically very RARE......
In Malaysia this car is literally everywhere........
Currently proud of my country......
Its a Malyasian icon.
This original Saga is disappearing from Malaysian roads. Compared to the 2nd and 3rd generation Sagas, the looks of this one has the most character.
It gonna be rare now, its reliability is insane
@@takauchinishika4701 it is a TANK rather than a car. Too high durability, just goooo what ever type of terrain you'll can go through it just great ahaha

probably one of the cleanest proton in the UK lol
Still looks like a shit box tho.

Maybe not today..

great wheels
Brilliant car's brought one for £150 over 10 year's ago,Ran it for about year, good fun to drive, very reliable
These were very common back in the 90's on UK roads.
Yeah even in the mid-2000s you wouldn't bat an eyelid if you saw one. Now you'd do a double take.
thx sir for saved it..really fun to drive..reliable..my last unit mileage more a million..
Nice, still great looking in 2017 😊👍🏻
Shazmi Yani old school
35 years car still looks badass
This is the legendary car in Malaysia. Long live the common wealth, long live the left-hand traffic!
i malaysia thanks for support
if you try to sell this uk spec in malaysia, local iswara owners there will go crazy for it haha

While I don't know if I'd want to be seen in it, I do respect this thing. I like it.
I had one in the 80s never let me down
I use to own a Proton and it was very reliable, nice car to drive
I still use it till now..my favourite car :D
There are more than 4 of these left. Alot of people don't like Saga's but they are excellent value for money and are bulletproof
I'm looking for one UK Spec model now. Found 5 in West Malaysia online. This model is well worth its value.
I drives hatchback version of this proton saga iswara everyday to work since 2016 with major restoration of course. Yes I am Malaysian.
So, what happened to the Proton? Still on the road? I no longer live in the UK, so I haven't seen any of these ever since.

Top Gear
injection uk spec..malaysia spec just caburator
Cocpadel Padel yeah, i have iswara also but this spec so nice with sunroof and dashboard very rare, make me to be kid again in this car.
Az Aiman Because the dashboard is literally the same as Fiore C12's dashboard......
I got one too and it is still going....well done proton...

This Car was used in 1994 MRC(Malaysian Rally Championship)

100% agree I love this car haha so much character as well. Only drawback I wouldn't want to have an accident in it...
Would be nice to restore this beauty to factory fresh
Retro looks. Really need one👍👍👍
Saw what appeared to be a Proton MPi Aeroback last week,
I still see them maybe once a year or so, only a couple hundred left on UK roads apparently
The 21 years old proton iswara
Older than anyone
You sir are a man of class
thanks for review my national car,,,,with luv
2:27 I know exactly where that reference is from. haha
I am shocked..how come dat car got in your country..but still enjoy the proton
The Iswara was exported to UK back when it was produced.
That quote from topgear make me laught 🤣.
It is very well preserved I hope you keep it like a museum piece.
I wish I had the chance to own one of these. I have a thing for unappreciated cars.
Well, in Malaysia it is very much appreciated by old folks and old school lovers. Though it is rarely seen on the road this days.
Come here,i have one
Proton saga iswara from malaysia (southeast asia of commanwel)
Good car start every day and next to nothing to buy you sir are the clever one not the numpties who pay a fortune for a new car and loose so much as soon as it's off the forcourt.

Sir if you want sale the how much u will start ????
cantik nye interial masih cantik sempurna
Great car extremely rare
Malaysia's Iswara never got fuel injection engine
and sunroofs.
the sunroofs are for the uk market specs
19 000 miles ? where the hell could someone find that low mileage car for that money.. its not that easy at all.
Are these rare?
In the UK yes very rare now. In Malaysia though I hear they're still everywhere.
Updates on the car?
Just done 800 miles in it during last couple of days, didn't miss a beat, mileage now just over 31,000 :-)
HAVE YOU SEE/TRIED THE LIMO MODEL OF PROTO SAGA?
I saw that yes it's cool :-)
@@HypaGames TQ SIR
In malaysia right now, still quite a few here :)
Well tidy for the year..it's nice to be different :)
if u drive under 2,000 rpm u can achieve 500 km + distance in 1 full tank. ;)
Kalau dapat beli kereta proton yang berada diluar negara bawa balik ke Malaysia best boleh dapat tak kereta Wira Iswara dari luar negara ni sekarang
i like proton..now i have a proton saga 1.5 engine 12magma...awesome in malaysia
Best engine..mitsubishi made..
The new Proton Saga 2020 more cuter😊
I would kill someone to get a UK SPEC Iswara, but our Malaysia spec is better looking
It's a nice following in Malaysia
Yes I saw three in a srap yard add. But they have taken the parts & scrapped them sadly 3 of them.
Why no power windows?
Atleast nobody will steal it
I find it hilarious that this model is also fitted with an alarm system and immobiliser ! I never have it activated though. Oh yes and to top that off the steel wheels have locking wheel nuts!
For this age of car, this is in mint condition.
I got one for USD 876. The owner says, just take and drive. Can I buy this, without having any breakdown?
I've done 7,000 with no problems. Tough little car, lively engine, enjoys being revved.
