just got back from driving the satria neo up to phuket.the 1.3 manual will do 190km/h easy. the 1.6 manual will go way above that. superb braking too.superb handling and high speed stability. inspires plenty of confidence.passed a black e46 m3 plate number 8888 on the way back. nice of the drive to give way to the convoy. the car aside, one thing very obvious is that the roads in thailand are generations better than the multi million ringgit highways we have in malaysia. what a con job. for a so called developing nation and one that proclaims to be ahead of thailand, and its asean neighbours, we surely have incompetent civil engineers and road builders.
