The first gen's interesting in GTi form if for no other reason than it was way better than anyone expected, and probably better than the Mitsubishi it was based on, at least judging by how well it reviewed, despite being an older design by then. Proton leaned into motorsport with the first gen Satria too, it had a decent super 1600 class rally career.Don't know if this counts as guilty to some, but I feel like there isn't much positive talk about Proton. But for some reason, the Proton Satria GTi intrigues me with it's rear fascia. I know the first generation is just a Mitsubishi Colt/Mirage, but body kit/spoiler give it a child-ish boy racer look I find rather decent looking.
Same goes for the 2nd gen Proton Satria Neo, though probably the R3 for similar reasons. Does look a bit like a generic video game hot hatchback, but I kind of like it for that.
The Satria Neo was definitely a bit more "generic hatcback" though.
