Safety in the Proton Waja average at best

According to the malaysian company, the Proton Waja is the first car to be designed for safety and the first to be tested by EuroNCAP. However, the results were a bit dissapointing, with Proton Waja taking only 3 stars for adult safety and only 1 star for pedestrian safety. They said they will improve future Proton Waja designs to meet higher standards, and to be honest, those 3 stars are huge for them. Previous cars had even less protection so this is big.

In the test, the car was damaged very bad, so bad that it even became unstable. Both people in front of the Proton Waja would've been seriously injured in such an accident. Also the child seatbelts were not designed too well in the Proton Waja and they weren't tested enough previous to this test. Also, the tested version had side airbags, something that never was sold in Malaysia. There are two name versions here, the Proton Waja for most of Europe and the rest of the world, and the Proton Impian for Great Britain, a car with right hand drive.
