So i went to this proton dealer near my house. Asked to have a look at R3 neo, the guy said the car is currently serviced elsewhere and only be back on monday. But then there is base manual neo on display so I went to look at it.
My summary from sitting in the car (I may be wrong)
1)The gear lever is so rubbury and sticky to move around, need some effort to change gear). Does the same feeling going to be on r3 neo?
2)The pedal placement is quite good, i most probably could easily heel and toe when on the road, it work fine when i in the base neo. Its being a while i driven a manual car

3)THe clutch travel is super far, is that suppose to be normal? Even kancil or old school city does not need that long travel
3)The seat i am in is a little bit too low for my height, is that normal or just because i did not adjust the seat height properly?
4)The base neo looked like an perfect platform to do crazy stuff onto it. I not intending to do any more if i ever get the r3neo. THe most i do is getting the r3 parts eg exhuat/brake rotor/lower spring and nothing more than that.
5)Always wondered if the r3 came with any kind of stability control or traction control other than the usual abs/ebd thing.
6) I heard that the neo r3 is one theif magnet and it is one of most stolen vehicle. I dont understand the logic behind it, if u say the old GTI i understand as it have mitsu stuff here and there but what up with people wanna steel the current gen neo cps r3?
7) Is the clutch very light to operate or the other way round.
The Sales guy asked me to comeback on monday so i can get to test the neo cps r3. He does not have the R3 parts menu as i really want to have a look how much those will cost to me. But i got the full brochure for the r3

I am considering buying those upgrade parts and install onto the car when i decide to buy the car.
As far as i know the SA said currently there no offer for r3 neo.
I was looking around to complement my current honda city as i go to my work place very early and the road are really empty so thinking about streching my leg whenever is safe to do so
Looked at other comparable class like swift sport but to be honest the multilink suspension really caught my eye as other car in the price bracket were torson bean. I am also assuming the cost of running (service, spares) neo r3 would be cheaper than lets say swift sports?
Does the current neo batch have good construction built or i bound to expect the unexpected?
Hope to hear your guys opinion about my question

1) New one oso like this..u will getting used to it..
3) uikss..to me, its short..lol..
4) u can adjust the seat...
6) No traction control...only abs, i think..
7) No comment...
Btw, if no offer edi, go to other dealer...
this nice offer so far...
