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.

In a Nutshell,THE Blm is a "CHEAP " car if there is no Myvi around.Why? Cause with Myvi around it,it makes the Proton looks rubbish especially since you are paying aroung RM 35k ++ for a 100% Msian made car.Why not top up a lil ,get a Myvi at least it has some Jap DNA in it .And you wont regret if you get the SE version.

Much better ,more reliable,lower running costs in the long run,cheaper spare parts,100X better service centre compared to Proton SC,pickup and driving around the CITY is a breeze.

Think about it,and you would come to a conclusion that the BLM is not as CHEAP as you think it is.

myvi also 100% msian made car with no Jap DNA in it. Don't kid yourself kevin. even the japanese laugh at people like you.

exaggeration is complete proof why no one should take you seriously in this topic.

i drive both a myvi and a saga blm. do you? the only difference is myvi is good in the city and saga on the highways. handling overall, saga triumphs hands down. the ABS on the myvi almost doesn't exist and cornering is sloppy and unstable. the saga has the same vibration levels at 140kph as a myvi at 80kph. FACT.

on my experience from stories i'd also rather not be in a myvi when a crash happens.

U are a joke, myvi vibrate at 80km/h? I drove a myvi se before i m driving this nhc. Smooth n stable up to 150km/h.. Dont bull me.. And it has jap dna in it. Go read up kiddo.

U r definitely correct on this one, it's a torture to drive, at first it seems ok for the underpowered part because of town driving, but when go for long distances or go up a hill, u'll regret driving it.  and the build quality is one of the worst, the car got squeaking sounds everywhere, just after 3 months!  I've got the 1.3 auto full spec which cost RM37k, it's darn expensive if u ask me.  and the response time for the auto gearbox is just pathetic, full throttle for almost 2 second then only got response.  and don't let me mention the brakes.......again.........and the stupidly high FC, full tank (to the max) go up cameron highlands 1 and a half trips only the fuel tank kosong, can barely make it to the nearest petrol station in brinchang.  RM60 can only go 240km, it's worst than my RB20det which can go a full 2 trips for RM60 if i drive smoothly (in the BLM no one can drive smoothly because it's so underpowered)

bottom line is, use it ONLY for town driving and if u don't like to drive fast, or else don't even think about it.
Myvi is totally overated, and it's not 'cheap' either for a car that has no boot.  but i know this is malaysia, there's not much choices when u r looking at cars around this kind of price tag, except if u buy 2nd hand, which u can get 2 hands full of choices (great choices if i might add)

and u r saying MYVI has some jap DNA in it, i'll agree with u for a bit, but i'll need to correct u: MYVI has some VERY OUTDATED jap DNA in it...... sweat.gif

@kevin

the way u think is wrong. y? let me give u an example

lets take Honda City Basic which is around 85k

i top up 5k, i get full spec Honda City. Sounds good? sure

then i top up a bit more, i can get Jazz. With Jazz price, if i top up around 10k more, i can get Civic... the list never ends

ZOMG,this is one of the most ridicolous statement i hv ever heard.

Of course you need to set your budget.How much you are willing to pay for a car,what is the MAXIMUM price you are willing to pay for a car.

This is basic lah,dude.If your theory is true,then why dont I get a Ferrari then .My goodness.Pls think before you write.

WhaT i meant is ,why dont you top up extra get a Good Jap DNA car that last long than pay RM 30+k for a piece of junk that you know you will change in a few years time?

Sometimes,going for the cheapest car doesnt pay off.

BLM is seriously rubbish.Sat in it before,maybe the only good thing is that its body is solid.Thats all thats good about it.

Thats why Myvi is still selling by the bucketloads even though its more expensive than BLM.

Ppl know how to see the value in it.Perodua copy Passo which is Jap and it sold by the bucketloads.

Now Proton copy Mitsu cuz they see P2 so successful.

After 25 freaking years,with full gment support ,this is the rubbish that its giving back to the nation.Pathetic.

Saga BLM is a good car.
It won't breakdown like some ppl say.
As long as u bring it for constant servicing with the good mechanic the car is fine.
All those breakdown bullsh.t is because those noob driver nvr maintain their car.

Some cars no matter how good you maintain them ,they still have problems.

My sis using BLM.She is doing sales so she travel alot around Msia.Service as per Proton manual.

1st day get the car,central alarm rosak.Cannot lock door.

Within the 1st month,radiator leak.

So now your gonna say ,my sis unlucky right? Rubbish car is rubbish car.

She had enough, sold it off at a dirt cheap price.Lost quite a sum.Bought a Myvi and is happily driving it around without a single PROBLEM!

Clocked 35700 kms already.Not a single problem.

lets say BLM doesnt even exist in this world, what choices do u have? for 30k++?

LOL,I wanna ask you .Are you paying cash RM 30k for your car no right? You take bank loan right unless you are some rich a$$ buy car pay cash.

So whats the problem buy a Myvi at RM 40k + .Just take bank loan .The installment is not a huge difference.And it makes more sense!
