Short term = Neo CPS R3
Long term = Lancer GT

You don't want your future wife or mother in law to sit in the cramped back seat of Neo.
Even kids know how to appreciate the spacious rear seat

Proton car buying new or used almost same. Just a matter of how the previous owner take care of it

Plonk a heavier 1.8T CM5A into a Neo chassis and turn it into a happy dawg which tail wagging at every opportunity.
Last time it was on my friend's project. Moved the battery to the rear, bars, adjustable suspension and using heavier rear rim also cannot get the desired handling.
Maybe the 30K Ohlins will do .
The idea of a good car is a balance in power and weight distribution.
Low boost on BOT or Sprintex with aftermarket internal is more like it. Aizat's BOT Campro (lowered yellow Neo) boosting at 0.7 bar had been around for few years

[Lol. CPS auto got bad acceleration la. Myvi 1.3 acceleration is faster on straight. But you can tapau Myvi 1.5 anytime in corner.
Power is nothing without handling.
