Why are people still talking about damn protons? This is a vw link isn't it?

Anywho, I've got the golf 1.4tsi 170bhp and the engine is awesome. It's twincharged (supercharged and turbo-charged) hense the ts in tsi. Would I be right in saying the 1.2tsi is the same? If so what a bargain that will be. I pay low tax and insurance and this will be less, for a new driver this will be crackin. Not to mension a lot of fun.

Yo…

I'm from Singapore and loved proton. Used to own 2 the saga then wira. Was about to buy the gen2 but gave up after test driving. It's horribly underpowered. My wira 1.5 outperforms this anytime! Am now with a colt coz it's almost the same price here with a gen2! My malaysian mechanic told me if same price, would be stupid to go for proton again…

How about a Satria Neo CPS with turbo… 1.3 or 1.6 CPS turbo? Sure will be a very good hot hatch.

"Can get same performance at half of the cost – buy Satria Neo, support our local industries"

Dude, do you know perdana's 2.0 V6 engine has only 179Nm of torque? with this you get a potential award winning 1.2L turbo engine with 175Nm, comes at much lower in the rpm compared to the perdana even.

ahhh ooooiiiii….what laaa comparing vw and proton. both of brand not on the same leval.

vw was founded in 1937 and is 72 year ago.

proton is only was established in 1983 and 26 year ago.

plus more Volkswagen Group owns nine active automotive companies. (car)audi, bentley, Bugatti, seat, skoda, (truck) MAN, Scania etc lahh

how about proton ? so …still want compare proton with vw?

just keep in mind. who ever lucky and proudly drive imported supercar, you still got your own generation to cari makan here at bolehland. Maybe their not lucky as you and have to use "local industries" car for their entire life.

be wise laahhh…..

come on man, the TSI whoops the campro's ass anytime anyday, with one armed/piston tied behind its back.

TSI is truly a revolutionary engine, campro is your run of the mill 4 cyclinder.

Satria Neo, way out of the league. Count back the maintenance cost, quality standard and safe standard, I would rather go for Japanese or European maker… Proton I can say build lousy car except for Gti & Perdana which I find it rather acceptable. Others are just too many plastic and poor design. Furthermore, thanks to the gov for protecting the industry, we are struggling to pay-off our car installment and car maintenance with our current salary.

The greedy Torino should lower their Bravo's prices if they are serious to compete in the local auto industry

Not to compare but the selection you get for same size car body & engine displacement. Say like this, U have money on your own pocket (or bank loan) so U can choose :

1. Polo > Latio > Swift > Colt > Jazz > Savvy

2. Golf > Impreza > Civic > Lancer sportback (incoming) > Satria Neo

Ok or not. Price also diffrance. So you choose base on your suit..

hello! u missed out the gorgeous PUG308~

what is satria neo got to do with this VW 1.2TSI post? at half the cost? what cost are you people talking about? you are not talking about a SAME LEVEL playing field, are you???

Come on la… If u want to highlight the "strong" points of the Neo, ask Paul to create a separate topic for that laa…. Unless you people have test driven a Golf or Polo with a 1.2TSI engine and want to make comments on it then go ahead…. otherwise, keep your Proton post elsewhere, please…. and take your local industries with you too, out of here….

it's a matter of taste i suppose.i used to own a waja for 3 years.there was not much that was bad about the car.just those power windows.rather than that, proton cars-they're ok.

LOL~!

'at the end u never change the timing belt etc…'

Hit P1 very hard on this… Even P2 new DVVT engine already going back timing chain..

Besides that, i can believe that without tax those VW Polo & Golf should be cheap also.. Maybe around RM60-80k..

http://fwd.five.tv/cars/supermini/volkswagen-polo

Cheapest Polo 8356 pound * 5.7 = RM47629.2, expensive 12,774 pound * 5.7 = RM72881.8…

U think our Proton Satria Neo can survive? Even now, i seldom saw a new one on the road…
