well, at one glance we can all see that the kelisa and ForTwo is hopeless right? At least the Prius looks more like a stable-r set of wheels, but too bad ain’t it? makes me wonder why doesnt JC do a hammerhead test with Satria’s so called lotus-engineered chassis?

———————-

he tested it long ago la…and if ur wondering,in this episode,jc wants to find those bad handling cars only…to compare to the exige…so,protons handles very well thankyou.

of cos what,u tersalah lepas cluth,then terhantuk kereta kat depan sikit pun the airbag will go off,hittin ur kid and most likely,kill them…..f1 cars dont even need an airbag,what we really need is a tough bodyshell to protect us when acc occurs…like the blue proton savvy photo,taken by paul last time…really tough i tell u.

i think handling and car strenght is important…for safety…and not airbag alone…that kenari and smart is bloody dangerous…lean mean killing machines

but ppl seems to like them as a car?why ahh?…..to me all this car should not be on the road.i wonder if they pass the crash test?do u know anything bout it?

Besides, i think it has everything to do with real world driving for people who buy those cars. If a car has good handling characteristics, the safer it will be for normal drivers.

Most people driving Kenari, Smartfor2 and Prius won't go at that speed, except those speeding driver!!

the smart was just downright dangerous, understeer and nothing but understeer.

they should have tested the kelisa also, i always liked the way the kelisa handled.

as for proton cars in general, in stock form out of the showroom, i think they still have one of the best handling around, even when compared to a stock standard civic imho. as for the satria R3, its really one big leap above the rest when it comes to handling. i was lucky enough to drive one.

hope i didnt go off topic here.haha.. i'm still talking about handling in general

also agree that the smart is very dangerous…imagine a housewife driving in the rain..then lock up the brakes then undertsteer to the tree…no amount of air bags will save u..hahhahahahahhahaha….in fact in the states there's been documented that airbags have been the caused of fatalities..especially infants..

i saw this clip last month,smart forfour handling ability is the worst,

wonder when will be proton car turn since they bought over lotus,as lotus car famous of handling

——————————————-

JC tested the gen2…it handle great compared to the koreans and p2…only critisism is about the plastics in the interior.

Mr param, I'd say iSmartfortwo is not just quite dangerous but VERY DANGEROUS car to an average driver, don't you think? Alrite…maybe I'm axeggerating. LOL!

Isamu, those car you mentioned does have an ok handling, but for me I still havent found the best as yet compared to other brand. Anyhow, that is subjected to the preference of the driver. I might love the handling of the Savvy but that doesnt mean other people will too, right?

To yhtan,

Aiks.. I thought Proton cars handle very well after the purchase of Lotus? Perdana V6, Waja, Gen.2, Satria GTi and Savvy are supposed to handle very well..

wonder when will be proton car turn since they bought over lotus,as lotus car famous of handling

Oh well, at least it steers better than a car that is nearly three times the value and that is good enough for me. Try looking at it in that perspective people =) No offense to any Smart ForTwo owners.

oversteer and understeer in one small complete pakage.. what a poor kenari.

but the way.. its better and fair all car in the same class.. i think kenari, Prius smart4two is not in the same class..

yeah.. hoping that savvy will be test like that after this. (and i pretty sure savvy is in jeremy's list – because he love to test every proton / malaysian car )
