Depends on what you want in a car. If you want a car that is fun to drive, the R3 is worth it - for the price you are paying. If you are looking for comfort, luxury - look elsewhere. Build quality is an issue that affects all Protons and you have to be mindful that you may need to spend quite a lot of time at Proton Edar Service Centres getting the problems ironed out.

The R3 is a different kind of luxury, given its price alone :)

But for more info, pros n cons...do enquire at the R3 owner's discussion thread http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/showthread.php?p=666148#post666148
