Advantages: Cheap; Lotus engineering

Disadvantages: Awful interior quality and uncomfortable driving position

Summary: The Gen-2 falls down in comparison to rivals and can only compete on price

New PROTON GEN-2 Review:

The Gen-2 was heralded as Proton's breakthrough model with which it would finally conquer the European market. It's a shame that it's been such a let down for the manufacturer, having spectacularly failed to live up to the hype. The trouble is that it finds itself in the most competitive market segment - and European rivals beat the Proton hands down on virtually every front. In its favour the Gen-2 looks smart and boasts a very attractive price tag, but get behind the wheel and it's another story: the cabin feels poorly put together and the driver will find it difficult to get comfortable. Start it up and the lack of refinement is immediately apparent, making long journeys laborious and tiring. There are some discounts available if you have your heart set on the Gen-2, although it's well worth considering alternatives such as the Honda Jazz or even the entry-level Skoda Octavia for an all-round better buy.

How do we get our New PROTON GEN-2 deals?

Cheap new PROTON GEN-2 cars for sale through AutoeBid

Reasons for being much cheaper than your local dealer:

  • We don't charge PROTON GEN-2 suppliers a fee to sell through our service. Meaning they incur no direct costs in selling a vehicle through AutoeBid. As such, the standard costs of advertising, marketing and administrating the sale are taken out of the equation.
  • All PROTON GEN-2 orders are live on our website so that suppliers can compete between one another to win your business by giving you the best quote. Their fierce competition for your business forces their price down, giving you the ultimate advantage of getting your price at your rates.
  • Suppliers are also able to sell vehicles nationally through AutoeBid, which potentially allows them to sell large numbers of cars through our website. As a mark of their appreciation, they are able to provide for much larger discounts if they are able to sell large volumes of vehicles.
  • Similarly through our Group Buying Scheme, we group together buyers in order to maximise our buying power.
  • Our extensive supply base allows us to approach the most competitive suppliers in the market on behalf of our buyers. We spend a lot of our time researching new suppliers and confirming their trading record and their ability to deliver.
  • By continuously keeping in contact with our extensive potential supplier base, and maintaining a database of suppliers who register with us, we regularly update our Reserve Prices. Click here to view more information on the different types of supplier who you can buy from through AutoeBid.
