Proton Satria Neo: the lowdown
The new in car games nation of Proton’s Satria has made its way into British showrooms. Still keen (and rightly so) to boost its street cred, Proton is making a song and dance about its ownership of Lotus by claiming that the Satria Neo is layered with Hethel know-how, design and inspiration. Those expecting Elise-style handling and Esprit-like power might be touch on the disappointed side, though…
Point taken, it’s no Exige. But how does it fare as a supermini?
There’s no doubt that the Satria Neo is a sharper-looking car than its predecessor. It has a more poised look about it, thanks to the sculpted bonnet, whirlpool alloys and pointy, inset lights. The interior is modern and spartan, highlights being glimmering ultramarine dials, an open-gate gearstick and chunky heater controls. It’s reasonably well kitted out too. The entry-level 1.3 SX gets a Blaupunkt CD player, air-con, electric front windows, ABS, EBD and rear parking sensors. Go upmarket a bit with the GSX models and there’s climate control, Bluetooth hands-free and cruise control on offer. Not bad for 10 grand or less.
