Its a car which is good for less than 6 months. After that there will be breakdowns after breakdowns. So yea its a6 month car.

Avoid at all cost. You might pay less compared to myvi, but this is an example of penny wise , pound foolish.

If you think BLM is not a good car, then by all means buy other cars. Seriously, with the near price tag of a viva, its just affordable for a small family with a tight budget. My sis has been using it. Frequent service timing and there hasn't been any problem for a couple of years. FC might be higher than your average 800cc compact car, but for the price tag, form and function, I think we can compromise that.

Well, u just have to expect BLM to bring you from Point A -> Point B, it can help you carry some stuff as well.. (Let don't talk about Design and performance, it is not my cup of tea or coffee...)

and another reason why people will consider BLM is Mat Rampit Upgrade themself to having a car, by no worry over Rain and Shine.. (have air-con some more if sit in car..)

and another reason PATRIOT over Malaysian Product (which i don't recommended)..

What you pay is what you get.

The car itself is not that bad. Engine is using old technology. Basic components are there to drive you around. FC is only mediocre. Very bad FC for city driving but good for highway driving.

What entails good car? For some people, like me, that also includes the branding and after sales service. Anyone who owned a proton before will know what I am saying. Proton's servicing is one of the worst in the industry.

However, like I already said, you pay for P you get P. You pay for H you get H. So it depends on your affordability and priority.

Getting a BLM really depends on luck. Is it launched 4 years ago? Because I've already heard some BLM engine that sounds like a lorry engine, katakkatakkatakkatakkatak sounds, it was lady driver.

what you pay is what you get.
but my neighbour all using proton too, no problems with theirs.

misleadings....  <- see! one liner comment also.

My saga blm, a bit over 1 year old, the clutch got problem.

Brought it to the service center, they say clutch bengkok, so change new one, as it is under warranty.
But after they replace the clutch plate, release bearing and blah blah blah... Something was still loose, i can hear sounds, and the aeroplane sound of my iafm is gone already. Then i went back to have them check, they tighten the under carriage and adjust and tighten the engine mounting also, now, there is still some sounds, i feel like the clutch set wasn't installed properly.

The car was very good when i first bought it(quiet, solid, got aeroplane sound), but the stupid technician in the service center made my car worse. I now blacklist this service center.

Which service center? If can i wan to avoid going there..

I still remember two years ago, I bring my old iswara to one protong service centre regarding the PS problem.
Ask this guy, he ask me to refer that guy, ask that guy, that guy ask me to refer..
Lastly, one guy come to serve me, but I think he is stupid and know nothing about the car. He take a very thick reference book(at least 5cm), page by page..half an hour later I jalan~ Proton car is ok but the Service department no proper training...

My close friend is driving a saga BLM and I get to drive it every now and then.
I drove it more than 1000km and spend reasonable hours in it.

My comments are as follows-

Saga BLM is a good car for its price. It is very cheap and it is quite a bargain because you can get a fairly big car plus more than enough headroom. In other words, it's a budget car. Having said that, i never fail to have leg cramp on a long journey due to the position of the pedal. For some reasons, the brake pedal is set too high for me.

I have a sneo at home, surprisingly with my height, i feel more at home in my neo. I reckon the reason is that neo allows me to sit further to the back.

As for the performance, i am driving the 1.3 AT. The car is extremely sluggish and quite a torture to drive. The auto tranny appears to be sleeping all the time and only starts working after .5 - 1sec after you step on the gas pedal.

Handling wise, the car feels light and doesn't give me the confidence in high speed cornering, unlike the sneo.

Mileage quite bad but that is subjective because i had to accelerate quite often to keep up with the road traffic (especially on the faster lanes).

Bottomline is, Saga BLM is a good point A to B car for the price.
But if you start comparing, to me, Saga BLM does not have any advantage over either toyota or honda (again, apart from the price).

If you don't like slow car, try to stay away.
