Headroom clearance need to be addressed..sad even after Neo R3...no one looked into it...leather interior is nice...cruise control is not necessary for a sporty car like this...while would prefer side folding mirrors instead...plus an off button to the EBD/Traction Control button would be nice...at least its justifiable to the pricey tag..

Campros reliability will be put to the test...adressed in CBT.com.my, Neo's CPS kicks in at 4400rpm...while the Gen2 kicks in at 3800rpm...while the VIM comes in at 4800rpm for the Neo...
High Revving monster....if its that high...how would the Noise insulation be?

@kcng: hows the noise insulation? I have yet to test drive the car..

Off topic it was...

Nah...dont have to go so far lar...come on...
Here are some wish list on the Neo, even if its priced at RM70k

1) Side folding mirrors
2) Sequential Gearbox (Selespeed like Alfa)
3) Better Noise Insulation
4) On/Off Button for EBD/Traction Control
5) Ok, add in Cruise Control if u like...
6) Bose Audio player..instead of OEM'd Blaupunkts
7) Better quality plastic interior
8) LED Dashed Display Unit (M/km, avg. speed..even this is in swift)

Come on..at least these are justifiable to your high price even if its RM70k or RM80k...

I'll book this car right away..without a doubt..but at the moment..
it looks empty and features are below standard....exterior looks
awesome..but come on...

@Gouki : Well maybe not EBD..I forgot the term to it..another mechanism...

Seriously...a sleeper car is definitely much cooler than just blaring your exhaust out man....VW Golf..Silent Sleeper..hot hatch..dont mess with it...

Cooper S..Silent sleeper as well..=)

U wouldnt want to go Aikz? so noisy! but still here! haha..u know what I mean..

Well..Come on R3!! Release a GTi with full specs then! RM90k! I'll still buy it!

@Gouki : Thats my point ^.^ but thats my opinion anyway..

@ridox_orimabu : Only 125 bhp le..how fast u want it? Even if can bring max to 200++ bhp still a 1.6L...sure sounds clanky..

Nothing beats a V8's Growl..=)
