Mona-vie 1st Gear May 2, 2011 Share May 2, 2011 The Satria Neo is a very popular car in many countries. It handles well and has decent power. Only problem is the high seats and small cabin (expected of a compact hatch). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe in MY there are lots of options for handling or performance upgrades..... in stock setup, does it handle similarly to say Suzuki Swift Sports?

But please change the shoes first, stock Continental Sport Contact 1 isn't really tarmac-hugging.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree... the handling of R3 Satria Neo is good...Mainly cos got Lotus tuning... However, they nvr brought in here... I also read before that Proton will put in supercharger into it...

Satria_neo Clutched July 26, 2011 Share July 26, 2011 that celeb complain that the proton neo make him vomit, shake too much... and proton cannot make car! I am not surprised..... If they are used to comfort, sitting in such a car will make them vomit. I think if they sit inside track cars, they will probably die...lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doosan 1st Gear July 26, 2011 Share July 26, 2011 the handling of R3 Satria Neo is good...Mainly cos got Lotus tuning... However, they nvr brought in here... iirc, Satria Neo was put on sales here some 6 or 7 yrs ago as their press adv. my ex-colleague who was with family name Neo, & he was jokingly expressed there should be special discount for names consisting of "Neo".

How to import R3 models when Proton is not popular here?..... but the Neo is a good car itself for its price and reliability.Tracked thrice before.Not even a problem engine - wise.Still runs as if I just bought it.wait till 100,000 km then I'm gonna take out the engine for balancing and blueprinting then we'll see the results!

Btw, if you are going to rebuild the engine, remember to swap in the 1.3L pistons instead. This is because they are said to give slightly higher compression.
