It's always good to get a second opinion. We've looked at reviews from Malaysia's top automotive journalists.

On the Proton S70

Paul Tan calls it a "game changer," praising the 1.5L Turbo engine's refinement compared to the old Campro units. They highlighted the ride and handling as best-in-class, typical of Proton's Lotus DNA.
