Satria Neo R3 Fan Car Genting Test Drive - The Fun of Driving is Not Always Based on Power.

It was a coincidence of wants - our fans want to see how the Satria Neo performs, and one particular one, Samuel actually had one. Things started happening and finally we are on our way up the mountain in the R3 Satria Neo.
Thankfully it is a manual, and so it was fun enough, despite the slight lack of power. Handling was very good, and one must remember that the Satria Neo is one of the last of these little cars that actually boast of independent suspension all around.
Tyres were up-sized a bit, and on hard bends we sometimes fouled the fenders, but other than that it was a great drive.
Thank you, Samuel, for sharing your precious car with all of us.
And so guys, if you are starting out in life and want a good fun car that is inexpensive to maintain and handles well, this is highly recommended.
Thanks for watching, and cheers.
Note: this video was made in September: sorry, Samuel for keeping you waiting.

From uncle's face, we know the car's handling is excellent. 😬 Not to mention, he's having fun playing with the manual gear.

As a Satria Neo CPS driver since 2010, I would suggest the owner to change to 205/45/R16 tyres to avoid rubbing the fender. But I know, this size is hard to come by. As for the brakes, changing to better brake pads such as Projectμ may delay the brake fade a bit. Τhe car itself is already good by design, so it doesn't need extensive 'upgrades' to be better. Just fit it with a bit firmer coilovers (I am using Kayaba RS pro), better tyres like Michelin PS4 or Yokohama AD-08R and better brakes, it is good to go! I love the way Uncle Khong gave the car a good bashing up and down the hill. That is how the car should be driven.

@@YSKhongDriving I am still using this car as my daily drive to work. It is cheap to run, original parts are abundant and the 'performance' parts are not that expensive either. Michelin PS4 tyres are priced at RM400/pc and Projectμ brake pads are priced at RM650/pair. It is fairly cheap IMHO.

Coincidentally i've been running 205/45/16 almost forever and paired with ProjectU NS400. I tried looking for PS4/PS4S in this size, since im still using my nearly worn PS3. Also coincidentally, i just bought a 2 pairs of copy cat AD-08R's which are made by Summax Z1 Max Drift. Can't say the same about the performance but i am eager to see how it fares.

I think the older Perodua or Proton has better feels when driving or shifiting gears .Drove a manual persona the gear shifting was not clear idk wether i have engaged a gear or not ,the plastic box below the gear knob was moving when i try to shift .the brake is weak (well a weak brake is good for heel toe but this particular persona has the braking performance of a lorry too weak).The wira i drove the gear shift was clear i know when im engaged feels more mecahical .The brake force was sort of ok not to sharp nor too weak requires time to familarise for heel and toe.
