Malaysian cars have only appeared on Top Gear a few times in the past, and they haven’t exactly been portrayed in a very good light most of the time.
We all know what happened to the Kelisa, and the Waja was used as an example of a car with not very good crash safety in comparison to cars like the Avensis. The Proton Savvy did appear on rival show Fifth Gear and did well on the hill climb test they had. The Satria Neo is a regular feature on Top Gear Australia.
If you’ve been following the latest Season 13 of Top Gear, you would have already watched Episode 3 which has two of our cars in it – one from each manufacturer.
The Perodua Myvi (it’s rather odd how British people pronounced Myvi) and the Proton Satria Neo are featured in a segment where the team have to go find the best small “cheap and cheerful” car in the UK. Being priced at the lower end of the various car segments, the Neo and Myvi are natural candidates among other cars like the Chevy Aveo.
AD: Drive the Proton model of your dreams. Submit your details and Proton PJ will get in touch with you.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments mostly express mixed sentiments about Top Gear's reviews of Malaysian cars like Myvi and Satria Neo, with many criticizing the show’s biased and entertaining approach which often ridicules Malaysian vehicles for low quality, cheap plastic interiors, and poor build. Some viewers agree that Top Gear’s comments are harsh and exaggerated, while others see them as honest critiques that highlight areas for improvement. Many defend Malaysian cars, emphasizing affordability, value, and the fact that Top Gear's reviews are mainly for entertainment rather than technical accuracy. There are calls for local manufacturers to improve quality and design, and some fans praise Proton and Perodua’s efforts despite the criticism. Overall, the tone varies from supportive to frustrated, with a common theme of urging Malaysian carmakers to upgrade their standards.
