What does it cost?
For For the extra £1000 over the standard car, the Sport model has a leather interior and twin sports stripes in a choice of colours.
Against The engine isn't as quick as some competitors' - which hardly suits the sporty looks - and you have to work it hard. This makes it even noisier and will take its toll on the already mediocre fuel economy figures.
What Car? says
You're presuambly looking at a Proton because you want to save some money, so it makes little sense to look at this, the most expensive version. If you must buy a Satria Neo, buy the GSX - but test drive its (better) rivals first.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
As a piece of engineering, the Proton Satria Neo can't really cut it against its direct supermini rivals. If you're tempted by one, only sign on the dotted line after you have thoroughly tested the car's rivals.
Ultimately, this is a purchase you justify solely on value for money, something Proton is renowned for. However, it doesn’t stop at the list price. There's a prominent section on the company's website detailing the latest special offers, and these have included things like free leather upholstery and discounts of as much as £2500 on certain models.
To save you the bother of constantly logging on, you can also supply your email address via the website, which will allow the company to keep you up-to-date with all the latest offers.

Ultimately, there is little choice: if you want a Satria Neo, this is the only model that makes any sense. However, before you buy, be aware that there are plenty of better alternatives.
