I made my booking at EON branch in my area and cancelled off due to their poor services. I am looking toward QOS from COE itself.

Hello all,

Will book 1.6M H-Line next week. This car was chosen due to:

1) solid body
2) within my budget
3) fit my usages (60% city; 40% highway)
4) air bag
5) gps
6) european looking
7) iridescent white
high performance

Modification in future:

1) 18″ sport rim (like the one shown in COE) =D
2) rear roof spoiler (heard is R3’s design)
3) spray metalic white and some decorative stickers as shown in COE

^_^

SAtriaGuy, when are you ditching your “GTi” and getting the new Neo?

By: SatriaGuy

SatriaGuy — Wed, 19 Jul 2006 21:00:37 +0000

Calm down people…

The accident happened when the driver ‘overcooked’ it coming into a turn on a wet road. The car spun around and the side smashed into the kerb big time. If this were to happen say, on a Civic, the damage wou’d've been similar. Nothing to do with Proton bodyshell strength being weak and all that.

But I have to remind you that the Neo’s back will ’step out’ easily if you lift the gas in a corner. So don’t. Unless you want another accident photo like this one of you!

This is what happen when we ve rojak a car… (system & parts sana sini bikin) as long as proton keep producing rojak cars this problem will continue to happen.. QC mcm mana pun kalau vendors keep buat tahi, susahlah nak control.. no future la for rojak cars…

Maybe its the vendor collaboration that’s screwing up the Neo…the door mechanism for example, was fitted by at least three different vendors.

Now, when the first did his, it was OK but when that arrives at vendor no.2 his system affects vendor’s no.1’s unit.

This is just an illustration of how things can go wrong and we, the customers get the so-called crappy cars.

The vendor relationship in Proton’s business seems like a couple who never dated but got an arranged marriage…

IMHO, no matter how much protonâ€™s effort are to â€˜improveâ€™ their cars, problems..and major ones is almost religiously present. Sheesh..I think itâ€™s true that the â€˜first batchâ€™ of proton cars would spring problems..look at the Waja – have u seen one without the peeled-off black matte paint of the wing side mirror? The first batch of the Gen.2 has door problems..and frankly, most if not all proton cars have power window problems. I for once had seriously thought that the Satria Neo would be â€˜differentâ€™ this time, coz all the delay and launch postpone was due to the time proton took to correct all the problem that have been evident on proton cars before. The Savvy’s QC was collaborately done with foreigners and it was a very high investment by proton. Now, the LULUS sticker supposedly carry with it some higher standards. Luckily Iâ€™d followed my instincts to delay the booking of the Neo for awhile..

By the way, Iâ€™m neither a proton fan noir a proton basher too..and Iâ€™m NOT in any way affliated with proton, eon, or whatsoever.

wow… looks like this Satria is screaming ” I’m a load of crap! ” at such an early stage according to some of you guys who own one.. Never expected a new car to have leaks in the roof or unreliable alarm systems… so sad… Proton just NEVER SEEMS TO LEARN!!!!!! the gear shift problem existed in the Waja (first 1 or 2 thousand kms only) and yet, here it is again to sadden the hearts of Malaysians.. This Satria tells us that Proton is and will always be a disappointment… Proton can only redeem themselves with a new car which is as reliable as a Japanese car… design semua i think they sudah pandai… only thing, they think Malaysians are all shorties…. TAKE NOTE LAH PROTON!!!!!!!!

my opinion, all proton’s cars r craps.. like it or not, thats my opinion.. other brand cant afford to make craps like poton did.. nama busuk wo.. & poton punya nama mmg sudah busuk.. pls read today’s star page 2… it seems suma pun tunggu bungkus saja.. too bad.. pity oso those who gets affected.. its too late for damage control… now neo problems arise… worse la..

The main pic of the Neo in this thread is actually me and an ex-writer of Hypertune magazine, exploting the chassis in turn 2 of Sepang.

It’s very easy to let the back step out in the Neo: Simply enter the corner deep, left foot brake and let the rear step out. A simple correction of the steering and getting back on the power gets the front pointing back towards the next corner…

Even if there are some QC problems, I won’t go so far to call the Neo ‘a piece of crap’ because all production cars, no matter what make, will have some QC troubles, that’s why we get warranty all the time.

Still, it’s not an excuse for Proton to ‘let go’ of the troubled cars and paste a ‘Proton Lulus’ sticker on when it hasn’t been properly scrutinised.

The Neo as a whole, is still an attractive choice for people who can only afford something that costs RM50,000 or less, iffy build or not…

Raybrig, what Chayroul means by that is, ‘if’ only. not that it is already as good as ferrari. is only an ‘if’.

Well, really disappointed the new Neo has a all new design with old problems… bad… Really hope Proton will make some changes in QC, or else, no matter how nice the looks are, the car still piece of crap… leakage, alarm system problems, underpower, high fuel consumption… all old n ‘traditional problems’ of Proton.. izit the culture of proton to make low QC cars? maybe…
