When is proton going to make a Satria Neo CPS GTi. The wheel arches may be taken from the GTi, but I think its too thick. Maybe making it thinner would make it better? Someone try photoshop see how it looks like

so anyone got plans to buy neo cps

bro...im sure stock rims are heavy ....

anyway...kcng...great review..i love this neo cps..wasted i got waja cps 10 months ago..haih....40k..time for service...

Proton has no plans for the gti version of the satria neo since their direction is towards people's cars like the persona, saga and the upcoming MPV. The best we can wait is via R3's tuned version which wont be cheap either since it will be limited quantity.

Lotus do have plans to tune a existing road car and the satria neo has a very good potential. With their planned participation in the WRC via the S2000 rules this year and next year, this look good for the satria neo.

well, if u wanna buy a neo, then u definitely will have 2 get the cps.. no use gettin the mline or the lite now..

but then again, like igor said, this new neo cps will surely make the old ones depreciate like stone.. so if u dont mind not having the cps, a 2nd hand neo might be a good value buy that u can consider as well..

also 4 60k, quite a number of 2nd hand 2 door sporty lookin cars that r worth lookin into..

u have a myvi now rite?? do keep in mind that this neo has much less space than ur current ride, especially headroom n rear passengers.. so if ure tall or u carry people 4 most of the time, u might wanna look elsewhere..

but overall, i think this neo cps is a good choice.. looks good n drives well.. only thing is, its less space inside n there r few other things that we cant tell now yet, like FC n quality.. but seeing how new protons r gettin better these days, i think quality is not a very big issue anymore..

watever also, go n test drive..

Finally... Might be my upcoming manual fun car.


kcng, is the seat real full leather? Or just PVC kind?



Note: Why Proton still insist on the ugly steering wheel? Anyway the door knob I would prefer a Savvy-like sharp looking one instead of half-moon cartoon like.



p/s: If I remember correctly, the steering wheel in MPV ones looks nice.

i like this car , but gen2 cps is a wiser choice for me .

hehehe.. i think the steering wheel in this looks much much much better than the one in the gen2 n persona

yeah, the mpv one is nicer.. the design is kinda like civic's steering..

gen2 cps oso claim to take 10.x sec to get 0-100km/h
but the youtube video proof only take 8 sec.

i hv posted the video but hv been deleted

Great review! Yeah, the spoiler spoils the car

Actually the spoiler serves its engineering value. Though it's same with some of the Scooby owners putting 'not-so-eye-pleasing' functional spoilers.

yeap, could not agree more on the steering. looks much better than Gen2 CPS steering and looks similar to EK4 Sir steering with red stitching.

but the seats does not look that it can tuck you properly if you're taking sharp corners.

yeah
2nd hand neo h-line value will drop like mad

yay


its not full leather
its PVC kind......

the steering wheel looks nice IF it is not wrapped by the leather...
the colour tone is odd.... if they had made the colour tone to match, then it will look nice...

A bit disappointed as it looks better in brochure than in real and the meter panel really is a big disappointment, and the price also a big disappointment.

Else, it is a really nice car to own with.

The white colour 1 is really attractive...

if you want the wheels you can buy them from Advanti, Proton either licensed the design or ripped them off. The design is called the MEDUSA.
