Proton Satria Neo Sport 2010

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.

Proton Satria Neo 1.3 GSX 2008

This is a cheap-as-chips, no-frills small hatchback which delivers far more than expected from the marque and the size and type of car. At this price, it exceeds expectations. It’s not powerful or fast, but it is fun to drive (the Lotus handling is noticeable) and comfortable. I’ve read the reviews that it is not great for tall drivers; which I would agree at 6ft 2 ins. However, even I can get comfortable (although I’d like the seat base to be an inch or two lower) and have no problems reaching and using all of the controls. The only problem I’ve had to date (owned it for 6 months from new) is that the rear hatch struts don’t slow the hatch when shutting, so it often slams shut quite heavily if I don’t remember to catch it and slow it down. There are other foibles, but nothing significant for a car of this price and size. It definitely looks best in Burnt Orange (although I agree with some comments that the silver fuel cap cover looks a bit boy-racerish!) Cheap-as-chips, but numerous smiles per mile.

Proton Satria Neo 1.4 SX

I’ve inherited this company car from my predecessor and I’m at a loss as to why he chose it. It’s performance is at best average and comfort and space is nil. It’s not that brilliant on fuel either. It gets you where you want to go but the engine complains all the way. God awful.
