vtec 1.7 is at least 6 years old or even older...
neo cps no more in production...only left R3 neo which is selling at rm79k
so do consider other model to replace neo for time being.

wait for the Proton CFE.. Exora already confirmed launching..its a matter of time before it trickles down to the other Proton models.. easier to make more power with turbos..

for my opinion...dont risk take any civic because....the car has been "lenjan" kaw kaw....example is to my friend who buy the car almost 60k and suddenly the car engine explode in highway...if u care to repair the car it's up to u....buy a new car is better because it's in under warranty from factory...

if stock civic wont explode la.....go look for a low mileage unit should be ok.
the CFE launching end of this month.....but its a soft turbo...wont have any kick to u...just smooth acceleration and better pick up only.

Civic no, neo yes... If second hand lagi syok. If u r concerned about issues w 2nd car, u r right, everyone of em will have some. But w your love n money it's mostly solvable if u don choose car involved in huge accident w chasis gone

Problem solved, if you would get a neo then just get the r3 bodykit bro.

I don't quite like Civic ES. I think its a complete let down after Civic EK. I mean look at EK and then look at ES? You get what I mean? So, having said that, despite me being a Honda lover, I'll have to ask you to drop the ES. Go for Neo or even Neo R3. Most important thing is affordability. Not only should you be able to pay for the car, monthly payments, maintenance and all that. So, think carefully and decide. May I also know why limit your choice to these 2 cars? Just curious. Hehe.

Btw, Satria Neo R3 must use Ron 97 ka?

got manual boost controller and fuel management? by the time it launches with NEO it might be tuned differently.

i'm just saying now is the time to sit and wait since the CFE is already here..rather than buying a used Civic or a Neo and then bang balls 6 months down the road when CFE is out on the Neo or Persona R
