FactThe Satria Neo pulled off something no other Malaysian car has done before or since: it was sold new in Japan.
The replacement for the first Satria, introduced in June 2006 on a new in-house platform (with some parts borrowed from the bigger Gen-2 and Waja), only as a three-door hatchback, developed over four years at a cost of RM500 million and aimed at the "youthful and sporty". Launched by the fifth Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, it was also the first and only Malaysian car sold in Japan. In February 2009 a 1.6 CamPro CPS H-Line with GTi-style bolt-on wheel arches replaced the top H-Line.

Owning one
