Hi guys, just want to share about my Saga BLM (M) Fuel Consumption experience smile.gif

Last time for a year, I drove my car from alam damai to shamelin to work back & forth. FC is consistent; 30L/310km or RM57/310km.
Now since I'm working at putrajaya, my FC for traveling alam damai to putrajaya amazingly goes up to 30L/410km or RM57/410km!!

You got what I mean right nod.gif yes, road & traffic condition play a huge role in FC

So far only dampening on hood. Minor difference lo.

Just clean the hood with soap water, then rinse with clean water, then wipe with alcohol. Then can apply smile.gif

If you're very concerned over FC, get a viva or myvi. Both are lighter than the saga, and eats less fuel. But dont complain over the bad handling lah. laugh.gif

Proton's campro is a very bare basic engine with almost no technology in it. It feels rough and powerless. But i'm not complaining, even though it comes with flaws here and there, I get a bigger boot (I often travel), nicer ride and better cruising feel on the highway compared to a myvi.

I always believe if u want to get good FC out of any car, it depends on how you control your right foot and changing gears at the right time. icon_rolleyes.gif

Bad idea if Saga is RM80k. But now this car is from RM38k~43k.

Proton is not famous of their FC, this is undeniable, even last gen with Mitsu engine also not so good in FC.

Campro is high rev engine, below 3k is torqueless, but at this speed is crucial since alot of city travel, start stop traffic are around this speed, so even 100kg more heavier the FC is suffer for this small engine.

For new car <45k with good FC you only can get 1 car, Perodua Viva, but how is the handling? body stiffness? Cabin size? Aircon? After I close Viva's door I won't ever think again about this car.

Since you compare to Suzuki Swift, how much you need to spend for it? is RM30k more bro. RM30k for even mad RM3.00/L RON95 and assume Swift no need fuel to run, i can refuel my Saga 6.5 years (avg 180+L/month fuel usage).

About my question just now, my answer is Wira<BLM=VIOS for weight, and do remember BLM and VIOS is in same B segment small sedan, different 40k.

But you choose yourself la, BLM is suitable for ppl who want new car with low price such as fresh grad, but since is for your sis, i think should go for small hatch, this car not suit girl one especially reverse.  tongue.gif

to claxxion and coolkwc

i like your arguments
my father is seriously considering myvi
i've driven my gf's myvi for 2 years now (i dont wanna waste my vitara minyak la klua with gf...hahahahaa) and i hate the handling
i've tried satria neo, saga and neo CPS
and yes, they have great handling
even satria neo cps' FC is better than saga BLM IMO

but i agree, if my sis wants a good car with good Fc, perhaps myvi may be the choice
although i'd hate not to have an FL in da house to buli
smile.gif
what about persona?
is it a good car with good fc?

small hatch nowadays mahal, and the only cars that can compare to myvi are alto and i10
my uncle is the CEO of suzuki and GM of Hicom's Special Projects elected not to support the alto nor the i10

I'm sure he got the wrong information. 1.6 is 1.6, both are Campro and CPS means for high FC if rev high.

Hi guys i've been monitor this thread a few times,
just to share

i got 50KM for 1st bar if you drive in town. if your drive using hiway it will eat up 70KM.

FYI from the 1st blink your fuel can go up to 70KM in constant driving. i've test it and run out fuel. 337KM till 410Km.. stop at the house than it cannot start.. huhuhuhu...

fill up RM6 RON95 than add up another RM65.. so total fuel inside can get RM70++


Added on March 9, 2011, 11:21 amstrange aa why ppl says no power.. dont compare to other CC..

mine can reach 160KMJ sometimes more.. i felt it has no problem with it.. i've bigger car and bigger power. if compare to itself i have no problem at all

the handling is good.. i love to layan korner.. hahaha 80KMJ-100KMJ in a corner still stable..huhuhu

its ok, this is very subjective bro...but i think the fc is decent...saga blm and neo cps have more or less the same fc, neo cps heavier few hundreds kg than saga blm..both arem using campro afterall

by right, long distance is a merit to cps as they got higher cc. think it this way, ur sis go sunway, might as well test FC for sunway traffic, right?

i hardly believe cps got better FC than iafm..considering power and weight ration, it is lebih kurang, but in terms of FC, i dun think so.

logic thinking, cps is few Ks expensive and is not a saloon ride. comparing BLM, it is more of a practical ride.

------

regarding myvi and BLM, u may read the 1st post, CyberKewL compiled his POV there as well.

regarding persona, PE is a good ride. auto IAFM PE is superb, FC nice if it comes along with aloi rims, upgrade the B-line from steel rims to aloi rims will help indirectly in FC as well.

*u might wanna test drive PE auto?
