i also wanna share, SAGA BLM(SE version) is also in my list...
i really love it, and book it...
I love that car, BUT!!!! problem is, i've waited 2 mths for it(promised from SA) but didn't delivered his word. after 2 mths from the day i book, i go ask him, he said nid wait another 2 months, coz proton factory got watever bla bla bla from him...excuses excuses excuses...when i go ask main proton dealer, he said SE version need wait at least 4 months. so, i cancel the booking, full refund and go for Forte(which juz 2 weeks i get the car)..

Saga BLM is a very good car, mainly i love it coz of the comfort, compact, big boot, audio also not bad(SE version), leather seats(red and black..my fav)...engine wise, auto...although power and pickup not dat good, but i still like it...a basic city car...
go for it, B/M line...SE is worth to wait(only if the SA tell me the truth)
i hate SA that lies here and there

mine is BLM N-Line (black bumper, white body, the LOWEST trim of saga).. actually i applied for M-Line but i need a car so badly coz i juz had a new born (my old car rosak coz langgar anjing)... i take any model in their stock so i got N-Line and they return the remaining balance to me...

my fc is RM50 - 260km (city) and RM50 - 340km (highway)

i never drive below 3k... if clear street owez wanna go above 120km/h... max speed i've done 160km/h (that time i say babai to honda city)... mind u guys here in kuching we hav no highway...

not that shitty FC, for a shitty driver like me who always floor the pedal, the FC is considered good... i think 1.3 campro iafm is for harsh driving, not city or jiwang drive...

my sister and my besfren both owned a 1.3 myvi... both white... i owez drive both
- in term of stability, blm win.. myvi havent reach 100 the car alrdy wobbly...
- accelaration myvi win from 0 - 70/80... starting from 80 blm wil say babai to myvi...
- body build (make-up, assembly quality) myvi is slightly better than blm.. that part perodua > proton...

if u like "keamanan" while driving, myvi engine is really silent... i cant hear the engine sound from inside the car while idling...

for a revving heart, blm is the choice.. sound better if the iafm kick in... campro engine is noisy...

sound insulation, BLM is very bad... spend few hundreds to improve the insulation...

i've driven blm for a year now and no prob... my fren's blm alrdy 3rd year, no prob also... only the battery, 1st batch hav prob with that, replaced by sc for free and he smiling until now...

dun miss the service and the car wont let u down... but no one knows the dark spell of the potong will kena u... random problem occur to unlucky user...

I am still driving this car after 2 and half years. No problem so far. Auto car. Fuel usage a bit high but why care so much about it since you are paying for that price for that car. If you want a fuel saving car. Myself you get a City or Viva. I have no regrets so far.

Very reliable and satisfied so far for its price and its shape

After been driving a noisier car before this, the BLM seems on par. I can live with it, but at times you wish its quieter on highways. Solution: turn on the radio or do some soundproofing. Road noise is an issue too. If compare to a myvi, myvi is much quieter. But the BLM offers a better package compared to the myvi, but with quality issues (depends on luck though).

BLM is comparable/ same class with the new city and the new vios. In term of pick up, BLM SE (M) take lead to 120kph, then you can see vios coming and follow by the new city. Probably BLM has a light body. Interior wise, i can say is acceptable and normal only, it's more roomy for passenger and has all the basic things for daily drive. Its price at less than 40k somemore. I encourage those fresh grade to consider the car.

Good Car? Answer: No

Base on 1.3L Car BLM SE MANUAL
Pros:
1. Good Aircon. Powerful even at idling.
2. Good reliability even with abusive driving. (For me)

The So-So
1. Okay Stereo. Powerful but not clear.

The Bad.
1. Horrid understeer. 10KMH slower than Standard Wira when taking corners. (Hear the tires screaming for mercy). I can't believe people say this car neutral. O_O
2. Poor powerband when lower than 3000RPM.
3. Not so fuel economy.
4. Poor throttle respond(Laggy). Have 0.5 second delay when pressing and releasing fuel. (You can try stabbing the throttle quickly)
5. Signal Stalk on the left side. Hassle when change gear and signaling.
6. Hate the "lorry like" manual gear shift. Feels deep, mushy.

Top Speed flat out : 165 KMH

Final Verdict : Would rather buy a second hand Wira and throw RM20k to upgrade/refurbish.

If drive SAGA for more then 800KM .. Johor to Penang... How would it be? I personally dun quite like Wira as its engine also dun really fuel efficency.. and its accesory very weak.. new car @ 3 to 6 mths can got alot noisy sound.
