The Proton Waja is a saloon car designed in-house by Malaysian automotive company, Proton, first released in August 2000. The Waja is the first Malaysian-designed car. The name Waja, which means "tough (as steel)", reflects the strength of the steel used for the Waja compared with the previous models. The name was chosen partly to counter the perception in the domestic market that Proton cars were less strong.
Proton claims that the Impian is the first of a new generation of cars that are designed to Euro NCAP standards and is the first Proton car evaluated by Euro NCAP. It scored 3 stars for adult occupant safety but only 1 star for pedestrian safety. This was a disappointing performance but Proton says it intends to improve future designs. But it has not yet been done till now.

Lotus Elise

The Lotus Elise 1.8 R breaks the 5 second 0-60 time in our chart hitting 60mph in 4.9 seconds. Not the most comfortable or practical of cars, and is pushing the limit on our decision to not use impractical cars like the Caterham and the …. However, it has a roof, even if in this case it can be removed, therefore makes it into our chart at number 3.
There’s only milliseconds in it for the rest of the chart, so the Lotus only misses out on the top spot by 0.2s. It’s supreme handling, weight and grip makes it tremendously fast around corners too. Find a nice stretch of road which plenty of corners, and you’re sure to enjoy every second.
