for saga
not really
as i know for second batch blm, their car will suddenly die off at traffic due to improper tight of the wire to battery terminal
while first batch does not have this issues.
this might catagerised under qc
*
my car 1st batch ...have this problem
all the SC guys check check also dn't know whats the problem
end up call up the manager to see
manager see see..tighten something...ok already...lol
i think all car did this when they park it in their store in other place...else the battery will die off very fast
try not starting the car after 1 week...sure die already...thats why they loosen it

hi guys
i am new here ...
actually i am interest on 1.6 saga FLX SE
how u guys think?

actually i am comparing 1.6 saga FLX SE and mazda 2 sedan.
as i know the price is different a lot, and quality is different a lot also.

but just now i went to see the 1.6 saga FLX SE, actually is not big different from mazda 2 sedan ( i mean comparing their external look). but internal i am not sure because i am not good in this. what i mean internal is those engine or FC or others..

how u guys think?
*
if you really considering the saga...get the 1.6FLX SE
u can't get any other car with that price with such accessories inside it
1.6L with CVT = powah flex.gif
ABS + EBD
2 airbags
full leather
15" rim(ya..its pretty ugly the rim design)
bodykit
i like the nice gear knob stitch like satria neo
chrome coloring in certain part(only SE has it)
i see USB(thats good)

Just came back from test drive. The SA was kind enough to let me drive the display unit meant for the weekend launch  (NOT test drive unit), and I was the first person to test drive the car since it arrived yesterday tongue.gif

Anyway, breaking it down to:

Exterior - FLX complete with R3 bodykit and rims, except.....The body kit was gold/brown while the body was red. According to the SA, the solid white model will have BLACK bodykits, u know, like those people who install bodykits but no money to spray paint it.  shocking.gif Oh and new rear lights as many pictures have shown.

Interior - Full leather seats makes it feel expensive, the stitching on the gearknob and steering will is a nice touch. The rest is more or less the same as the regular saga FL.

Suspension - Not much opportunity to put the suspension throught it's paces, no hard corners during test drive because the brakes feel abit soft and I don't dare lest I scratch the car.

Power - I'm not sure whether this is a characteristic of CVT or all the new Saga models, it seems that whenever I press the pedal there is a very noticable delay before the engine reacts (loud noise but no acceleration until a moment later). I remember experiencing the same thing when I test drive the 1.3 FL though I didn't really push it that time. The acceleration is satisfying and it can go uphill without breaking a sweat (On the same slope my Waja would huff and puff abit). The noise was quite loud I thought I was going very fast, but the speedo only show 120km/h tongue.gif Acceleration delay and the noise would be my only complain as far as power is concerned. sweat.gif

The conclusion, for the price tag I don't suppose you can ask any better. The ride will be satisfying for people who are used to Saga/Saga FL, but it's not enough for me to abandon my Waja just yet. The SA is also aware of the CVT overheat issue, and claims that the FLX SE already have the pump cooler installed, though that needs to be verified.

I snapped some pics but I think the pics already posted looks better than those from my crappy phone. whistling.gif

EDIT: one more thing, I notice the steering is a bit stiff, which I like. I think it's not everybody's cup of tea, though.

EDIT AGAIN : Launching event this weekend.
*
engine noise loud
normal for saga
reason?...no soundproof + somemore no engine cover already..sure will be loud
using the right oil + soundproof will solve that prob
steering has been stiff with proton all along...its a good thing actually...dn't want that toyota soft(no feeling)
power should be no prob

Oh by the way, something for the rumour mill (Dunno it's true or just sale bull from my SA, but just FYI):

- Exora Turbo? sudah cancelled. Next Exora variant is with CVT.
- Next year car increase price across all brands, at least RM2k. Sounds suspiciously like BS, but the SA show me the memo dunno from who.
- More stringent loan rules next year as per BNM's guidelines. Just like the new credit card guidelines announced recently.

Maybe some of you can check with your SA or Proton insiders, if it's not true then I'll know this SA can trust or not.
*
dn't think the exora turbo is cancelled...a few showroom model has been produced
and most probably with CVT somemore

change is easier. I want my airbags to work in an event of frontal collision.
Haven't go ask yet. Preparing RM 2000 for it. Should suffice.
*
i think ppl will just wrapped it and spray the side with a little bit silver only
no need change the whole thing
i think u keep that money and get your airbag changed every 2 years is better(if u want it to work)
