Well not to say terrible la. driving a saga is like driving a forte. Fuel consumption <10-13km/l but you don't enjoy what the forte owners enjoy. hahaha. Mine is constant 10.8/11km per litre. Myvi is about 14km/litre la for the auto. if you talking about manual then 18km/l you also can get.

LOL omara your blm is also N-Line? Sold of mine already, also N-Line. Getting Savvy soon. Bye bye BLM club.

Fuel consumption punya pasal lor. I get Savvy coz i wanna maintain my budget within rm1k for Transportation expenses. with BLM rm400 loan + rm400 petrol + rm250 toll, with savvy rm600 loan + rm200 petrol + rm250 toll. I think savvy would be better for my case, moreover loan is shorter for 2 years.

Yea emas is nice! i like it too but im thinking of something like POLO 1.2 or 1.4. That's my plan la.

I've check everything already only proceed with getting Savvy. Not really that high compared to Saga. Most parts also about the same saja but the fuel consumption is so much better! im driving 3k km a month.. my fuel consumption is about 400 - 500 bucks a month. lol

9 years 3.99% with Etiqa insurance. Really reliable. Breakdown once with my BLM in 30 minutes time they got me a toll truck. Windscreen crack, they ask me go to some windscreen shop to change and in 3 hours time kau tim. good job! oh yah if renew insurance lagi senang. All done online.

Wow!? so high? I check few months back 3.99% i not sure whether they've increase or not. AMbank 2nd hand car only 4.5% leh. haha slightly more expensive.

Guys, for those who want to get a loan. Try ambank. 1 day approve liao. I took a 3 years loan of rm29k for my Savvy and the interest rate is only 4.15%. can give it a try. haha

mine i service at proton glenmarie @ 20k km its only rm38x 40k also same price. I think you guys better find better Proton Service Centre. Seems more like a chop shop to me.

sorry bro.. rm4xx suppose to be alright, cost mine is manual not auto. auto need change the ATF oils.

Magnet Trap... interesting. Maybe we can try this on IceCube Mini turbo thingy, i am planning to test it later on, on my new car. Can be safer.

Why is he changing everything?
use semi synthetic good enough already. rm60 - rm99
air filter take out and check too black change rm35

i think you better not bring back to the workshop, you go service at proton 30k km will only cost you <rm190

Yup break oil at 40k, spark plug.. depending on condition usually can last 20 - 30k, you can get those iridium spark plug which last around 100k. but tyres it's depending on condition bro, not necessary. im using semi slick and i only change them at 40k, normal tyres can last longer.

Bro normal tyres if you take care every service go buang tyre front change behind behind change in front it can last 80k km usually. Mine are those semi-slick it lasted me 40k km which is very good already. But if your's is original proton it can go further. Take to tyre shop ask them buang tyre + alignment + balancing (rm30 - rm35), if they ask you change then only change if not don't bother.

*semi synthetic also service at 10k la You check proton punya servie manual, they are using syntium 800 15-50w semi syn, buy outside other brand (rm6x same for petronas) if go proton rm9x. IMO you should avoid that fellow who service your car! He is trying to con the hell out of u.

Break Pads around 40k - 50k depending on how bad you are as a driver. For me i think 40k is the max already front break pad need to change.
Original Drum Break (rear) is bad, try to pull your handbrake at bukit sometimes it will start to golek turun bukit. My Savvy is having the same issue like my BLM previously. Will get it change ASAP as you never know when you gonna need it.

There's once i ski on the round about because of the tyre, i never had such insecure feel previously when i am using Falken Aizen Tyres. Later on change tyres to Dunlop, swap the Silverstone behind, Dunlop is so much more better than Silverstone. But still Falken is damn good but i lasted me around 30k+ only.

Tyres which i did some research on and wanted to change would be Continental! Alot of good things about their tyres. Something similar to Michelin but much more cheaper.

btw i'm using 15" rims that time.

My car is service every 2 months after 7k+ since i took it outside workshop service (CHEAPER and no need to book for any appointment). 10k is Proton standard. If you bring to them they will tell you every 10k only service.

Yea that is the thing! they are using semi and service every 10k interval. I think it's inside your booklet as well. It's written service interval
10k - minor
20k - major
30k - minor
40k - major
50k - minor
60k - i SOLD my car but it's major
70k - minor
80k - Major + Change timing belt, rm900 for everything

But once i've taken out i follow the mech's recommendation which is 7k change interval for 10w-40.

Yup same to me, after 40th k i cant wait anymore.

Well i am not sure about you but my 1st 40,000km is services in proton glenmarie shah alam. They are using Semi-Syn and they always ask me to go back only at 10k. I told them shouldn't it suppose to be 5k? or 7k? They say their minyak is bagus and the engine is bagus!~ lol
Every 10k only service thus i followed la. Void warranty, i don't think so cause i am just following their schedule and also my car masuk bengkel once when my whole drive shaft tercabut keluar and all oil leak. Not too sure is that the shaft haha the one cucuk into our tyre part.

Even my colleagues viva is also 10k leh. which workshop asking you to go back at 5?

Those fellow's are really corrupted! anyway it's better to service outside la.the last time i service outside at 50k RM170 nia (Shell 10w-40)! at 57k also RM100 (Penzoil 15w-50) nia! i was so damn happy. IMO no point going for 10w-40 more expensive 30 bucks but does not improve too much. have not tried 0w-30 though.
