today i test drived the 1.6L manual NEO.... found that chassis stability vr good... the engine has torque from low to mid rpm (didnt get to try high rpm due to traffic).... serve left and right (sip che) also vr good.... overall, suspension vr good.... but for comfort, i think it will lose to waja or gen2, due to the more performance based car.... also tried doing hard U-turn, no feeling of going tripod.... vr less bodyroll as well.... impressed with the overall handling of the car....
ok, the disadvantages:
- vr big A pillar.... huge blindspot at the corner of the car.... this is bad when u come to T-junction....
- why aircond controller still analog??.... change digital ma...
- rims.... terribly fugly...
- rear passenger seat vr small....
- interior dashboard trim vr plastic-ish......
- gear shift vr hard (or mayb its the car i tested got problem)....
- gear stick abit too long.... ur left hand basically facing upwards.... lower it by about 1inch, it will be fine....
- brakes feel as if not strong enough.... mayb due to the ABS problem (not sure).... 2 people on board, braking from 90kmh to standstill need sometime.... i wonder how it will feel when it is fully loaded....
pros, in the 1.3L car:
- has rear disc brake...
- does it has rear ARB as well??..... or it hasnt??...
- cd payer mayb.....
- "cant think anymore lor"
question: i heard the proton salesman said front and rear rims cannot interchange.... why is this??... running on different PCD for front and rear??....
