First Drive: 2006 Satria Neo

[ivan_cyc]

white colour is a bit weird something like light grey.. thanks for ur opinion :)

 

[Crash]

White, like on the Desire concept, looks fantabulous. Looks very racy, almost WRC-like ala Ford Focus. Match that with new rims and you should have one kick-ass car!

The Satria Neo has strong attactive lines in stock form, so modding shouldn't be too hard :)

 

[ivan_cyc]

OH....like tat.. i should have a look at it again HEHE :P its irridescent white.. Um.~ okay okay..

 

[davidchen27]

wat colour u think will be nice.? um.~~have no idea..

personally i would prefer their navy blue (appear like black but it's actually dark dark blue if u really look close at it).. looks more sporty and classy.. other colours look normal loh.. but if u dun mind waiting, go for the R3 diamond black.. keke.. happy shopping for colours o.. :) oso according the SA, they said the waiting list is only 1 - 2 months o..

 

[ivan_cyc]

Oo.. R3 have to wait how long? i cannot wait anymore my little SLK is getting worst. especially fuel comsumption :o(

 

[neugenics]

I've been looking through both cars Neo and Myvi since the price range is around the same and honestly, which is the better buy in terms of quality and value?

 

[ivan_cyc]

i've also been looking for these two cars. at first i was thinking to buy myvi after they launch satria i take a look. HEHE i already choose satria. in my opinion either 1.3 bigger space front rear comfortable or . 1.6 powerful but rear seat. Smaller :o(

 

[neugenics]

I think we're both in the same situation, ivan_cyc. Thing is, i know myvi is a good car since its coming under daihatsu which is kinda under toyota, as for satria its still the first batch in which ppl mostly say its doubtful. Though i wanna convince myself that satria is better, is it true that the petrol consumption is relatively high and the resale value is low?

 

[ixeo]

both cars are of a different class. if you're using the car to ferry passengers/family car, the Myvi would be the car of choice hands down. if you have 1 passenger most of the time, and you enjoy driving, then get the neo.

it really boils down to what you want and what you need. i am very sure for the Neo, the fuel consumption would be higher as your driving style would be more aggressive, given that the Neo can power through corners. as for the resale value, i have no idea, but if it breaks down as often as other Proton cars then you can be sure the condition of the car to deteriorate very fast..which would affect the resale value.

 

[mujadid84]

i agreed with ixeo. Myvi and neo is in different class..neo is suitbale for person enjoy driving and traveling a lot, juz like me..

fuel consumption is depends on ur driving style, with constant speed bout 100km/h, fuel consumption is low..

overall for this time neo is nice..juz wait for R3 division for the bodykit and performance parts..

BTW, during the launcing of Neo at Pusat Kecemerlangan Proton @ Shah Alam, there was a Neo R3 (Concept Models) on Display together with Neo Desire and Neo Symphony (ICE concept) - anyway if any of you wanna see the pics can view it at pro-hatch.net on the gallery section

 

[ivan_cyc]

Yeah ixeo is right this is what i headache for... either family car or power car. i most of the time with my gf so its nice :P ordering now.

 

[neugenics]

Hey Ivan which did you take, the 1.3 or 1.6? I think i might be getting the neo after all, i just need substantial facts like better FC and all to convince my dad that the neo is more worthwhile getting.

 

[ivan_cyc]

hi Neugenics i take 1.6 just to waiting for my car choosing number for my car now.HEHE if i get my car i think i will be the first person to drive neo in my area.haha! so will u get neo?

 

[neugenics]

Oh really, good for you then. Which color did you take? I guess i might be getting the neo 1.6 MT as well. Still haven't got to test drive it though.

 

[ivan_cyc]

Wow i like MT but my father asking me to get AUto..maybe he wan to get a ride.. haha..i take Liquid orange not bad la. for small size 2 door is ok la..i'm thinking of white but the white is something like grey.. T_T wat do u think? which color o?

 

[neugenics]

Actually my dad wanted an auto too.. but i convinced him by saying MT has better FC, cheaper, easier to maintain and of coz i preferred it than auto. So there's a tip you might wanna consider. I finally saw the real thing today and i thought the twilight blue looks the coolest. But its all up to u really. Btw, do you happen to know how muc is the road tax for 1.6?

 

[Scuderia]

Where in Cheras can I locate a Proton dealer that is good ? Gonna trade in my car for the nippy NEO!

 

[ivan_cyc]

road tax RM150 above i think if i am not mistaken. is orange looks nice? ANYone??

 

[Scuderia]

Orange is too strong for me. I am getting a safer color like the Silver White ... and with Continentals too !!

Can't wait.


Where in Cheras is the best Proton dealer to go to guys... ?
