i think it's normal to be harder when idle or stationary
when the car starts moving...it tend to be more easy to steer

i've tried 150 in a nissan grand livina.

never will repeat the same mistake

Why?? U crashed the car???

they spend money for their "luxury car" but has no confidence in it.

Anyways, I would like to know how the Saga feels when outstation travelling. I'll be travelling across states most of the time and that Myvi with its sampan characteristic and also light steering (Thanks, Toyota, lol) is a definite no no for me. Normally on highways I'll do 100-130km/h most of the time.

My current Japanese Brand car has since been returned to my friend because it has a lot of problems like cracked wheel bearing and a slightly crooked driveshaft. Now considering between a second hand 08' Saga and 06' Waja. Both are RM30k.

try saga...or if u can a bigger car like persona or waja(CPS)
no problem doing fast on highway....
because they are built specially for highway thanks to the heavy body and lotus handling
saga...for sure will feel underpower because like i said...heavy body

Thx to lotus ride and hanling

I had driven the car before quite recently...to be frank, pick up is much better compare to 1.3 at. A better car overall in city + highway driving. It felt smoother, less rubber band effect, and tbh, not as slugish as i would have thought.

Definitely waja is a better cruiser. Overall feel alo a different class. Firm and more stable ride. Better in cornering as well . But i think you should try the FLX as well before decide if you are looking for a band new car.

heavy steering maybe help in highway drive
no more shaking steering like old myvi
new myvi equipped with EPS, will better?

So fast they advertise d

No, actually I really like the steering feel of this car. It's good for both highways and trunk roads. Due to this reason alone I'd rather drive my car than my mum's 2004 Hyundai Elantra for long trips. It's slightly heavy for parking but still manageable.

I did a trip to KL and back a few weeks ago. Highway stability is excellent. I was cruising at about 120-130 km/h most of the way. GPS logged the highest speed at 155 km/h (not top speed, I could have gone faster) and it was still stable then.



(Time of 2:48 is between Jejantas Sungai Buloh and Penang Bridge Toll)

The only drawback is the loud engine drone at 4k RPM. I'm perfectly okay with the NVH. Even managed to have a good conversation with my friend along the way

If the FLX's CVT has a ratio which does 110 km/h at about 3k RPM or lower, it'll be great.

ya
campro iafm produced very loud sound while cruising at 3500rpm above

but damn good force and stable

explains why lately my FC like shit, but fun factor >9000

petrol problem?ur foot problem? jam problem?
haha
my last tank jam like hell and when no jam i fly 160kmh
at the end fc is 12.5km/L
this time smooth drive and now is 13.8km/L

screw FC now.

achieve 400km, happy liao

haha....depends on the CVT have how many gear
i heard inspira's CVT GB....120KM/H is only 2k RPM
that would be alot silent in saga

Added on July 23, 2011, 2:50 pmin MY...many factors la
foot problem, petrol problem, petrol station problem, tyre pressure problem, jam problem
all will affect the FC

Saga's CVT will be able to provide that low rpm torque that's missing. Yeap acceleration is definitely better than the normal one, but don't expect any major performance boost. Ur FC should be better.
I have no idea which company manufacturer saga's CVT though. Heard is punch motor one

i feel you bro...my FL is three months old now....first is 1.6L version...now CVT+ABS pulak
