Those of you who want an airbag in your car, then go get yourself a H-Line Neo or if you can afford other cars, go ahead, make sure they have Airbags, ABS, EBD, TCS etc etc etc. Because REAL DRIVERS NEED NO ABS etc etc. A driver will maximize the car’s performance and push it to its limit. Not judging what’s the car performance and demotivated by its small output, nor pushing the car over its limit to the extend endangering your life or other road users’ life.

Go learn more about driving then only come log on to paultan.org to comment on manufacturer’s car!!

no offense to anybody out there, i am the way i am..peace…

ext-add angel eyes,cf spoiler n cf hood,scissors door
int-add gps like pesona se,optitron or el meter,
engine-campro cps with stage 3 modification
safety-like gen2 cps,ebd,lsd

price tag of 80k will really attract people with this kind of specs.

suzuki didn’t ‘mod’ the engine, they just change to another bigger capacity engine. whereas proton puts a ‘piggybag’ + new exhaust system + many more goodies. plus, this R3 is a limited production, not just mass production-bigger engine+larger OEM discbrakes+uprated OEM suspension+bigger OEM exhaust+bodykit+OEM bucket seats+etc2 swift sports 1.6L

Satria Neo tu dah kira cun la. Kenapa tak buat versi Sedan seperti mana
Gen-2 dan Persona.

Waiting and hoping for Neo Sedan…

Higher displacement
Bigger wheels and tires
Better brakes
Bodykit
Uprated suspension
Different Interior trim
Sportier seats

Drivetrain mods:
Reworked cylinder blocks
New inlet and exhaust camshafts
New pistons and rings
New connecting rod
New crankshaft
Oil cooler
Intake & Exhaust manifolds
Higher capacity muffler
Electrical throttle body

So all in all, for a RM23,000 increase over the CKD swift, you get a CBU purpose built road car. It comes with 6 airbags too. Dare I say it? The Swift Sports is more R3, then well… R3.

ps: the CBU swift is RM89K, while the sports is RM94k

It’s obvious the debate is still on for safety features of passenger cars. Many do not realize (or chose not to realize) there’re actually some direct science with car crash test. Some of these life saving technologies are derived from F1 drivers car-crash experience and some of it are even obtained from space-like technology. Whether we like it or not, there’re quite a lot of documentaries as well as research papers on car safety including “Air Bags”, “crumbling zone”, “ABS”, “EBD” and et-cetera. Although the relevance of this safety equipments is still well debated amongst the car users, but from scientific point of view; researchers have concluded that this safety equipments does help to reduce the number of fatality (for as long the air bag is deployed precisely as it should, well that’s another issue). They have run thousands of car crash test at their respective laboratory and also carried out actual case study on car accidents. Imagine the time and resources that have been spent (and leading car manufacturers are still spending large amount of capital on it) to improve road safety and for some of us to deny the importance of this safety features is what I describe as an act of a pure-ignorant. There’s absolutely no wrong for road users typically Malaysians to demand better car safety technology as “standards for all local-cars” from local car manufacturers cause it is already a life-saving-proven technology. Now it is up to the guys at Proton and Perodua to make sense out from it. Perhaps, we should let our newly elected MPs to bring-up the issues at the Parliament. Enough said.

The enforcing of laws to forced car manufacturers to install all this safety features would be void if the mentality of our drivers are not changed. Drive your car today and see how many law breakers are on our roads? From minor infringement to road hooligans, there all Malaysian drivers. The attitude of ‘takpe, takde polis’, ‘orang lain buat, kenapa saya tidak boleh?’, ‘alah, bapa/pakcik/abang/(and so on) saya polis/JPJ , boleh slow talk’, ‘kampung/bandar aku, ikut suka aku lah’ and so on… how do you change that?

You can argue all you want in here, but what are you doing to change the real situation out there? Blaming the government? Blaming others but yourself? I am a competent driver, been driving for nearly 17 years (with a valid license mind you) and quite skillful behind the steering wheel but even I can’t guarantee that I won’t be involved in a road mishap. (had about 6 accidents in that 17 years – all was caused by the other driver… honestly) That made me more alert and observant when I drive but alas, there so many poor drivers on our road, it made the task more difficult everyday.

So the arguments about this car is justifiable but then again, also disputable. For all we may know, all the buyers of this LE Satria Neo R3 bought it for weekend or even serious track activities. Seriously how many people would buy a RM 71,000.00 car built with minimal noise insulation and quite harsh ride for normal everyday use(It doesn’t matter if they are just racer boy wannabe). The arguments are all based on assumption which to me is quite hilarious.

I drive a Waja CPS, the engine have the grunt lacking in the original CAMPRO and acceleration is quite brisk. So imagine what will happen with the 2 stage modification here done to this engine.

Some may say this car look daft and some may say it is stunning, is all depend on that person individual taste. Act maturely and respect others opinion.

BTW Paul, what is weight comparison between the R3 here with the standard Neo and the old Satria GTi?

STFU if you’re not buying this car’s idealogy.
Easy.

>>>Fixed for greater justice.

I feel this is gettin tiring cuz we’re gettin nowhere. You fail to comprehend what I’m actually tryin to get across, and I’m not the kind of person who’s good at explaining without having the listener to have imagination ability. You certainly lack that, and you tend to be too objective in conprehending informations, so there’s no way our frequency can be harmonised. This argument is GG. Joo winz n pwnzorrz tokmoh’s head for 5000 golds. There, be happy that I’ve admitted defeat.

these cars are for simple minded people who wants everything OEM & hassle free. Just pay the money & drive home the car concept. u get it?

how many people on this forum are actually buying this car? if i dont want to buy it, i can’t comment?!
looks like you just put your foot in your mouth.
