Proton Satria Neo Sport 2010

1 star review

 

The Satria Sport is badly put together, mine has a drivers window rattle, which has been checked by a Proton Dealer who stated to me he repaired the problem, but strangly the window continues to have an annoying rattle. The engine is thirsty; I have owned other 1600 cars that didn’t contribute so much to the petrol companies coffers. The car comes with a three year mechanical warranty, which is just as well as if you were to slam the door in anger the door cover comes away from the door. In my opinion there are better cars to spend your money on. I can’t afford to change my Neo sport at present, but when I am in a position to trade it in for a better make of car I will as quick as lightning. You will find that Proton dealers charge as much as possible to do bodywork repairs, even a small chip in the bonnet for which I was quoted £800 for my previous Proton Gen 2 Saloon in Metallic Silver, which meant both wing panels required paint to match it up.

Proton Satria Neo Sport 2010

1 star review

I purchased my Proton Satria Neo Sport in September 2010 and yes it looks ok, but that’s where it ends. It has a thirsty engine and thin Paint; my car has been vandalised twice, although why anyone would want to vandalise a proton I have no idea. I have had to do a DIY job until I can afford to have the panel resprayed properly, which I probably won’t have done by a Proton Dealer as I was quoted £600.00 for a very small scratch on the front wing. The reply ’extortion’ came to mind. The road tax is £165.00 per year at present. The small interior is in leather, which is ok, but the suede in between the leather was and is a pain to clean. The list price is £11K, but I got mine brand new at a discount price of £9795. However, now the price has been dropped even more so my car is now worth about £5K because simply put they are not selling as well as Proton hoped.
