comfort level is ok so far because only drive for short distance, never try go to far. the black fabric with a fill of dark colour interior together with some silver and chrome trim look really sporty . the solid you can feel if grip the steering, i still wondering the glove box , it does look cheap although the use gas spring to slow down the movement. but the biggest thing that i worried is the dashbord panel meter, when you not turn on the key you can see only the white plastic trim. looks cheap..and extra compartment box on your right . really big and i think you can place you Smart tag device inside it.but it almost hit your leg when you open it.

although you see the rear design is small from outside , but it does give enough space inside , they had push a little bit foward and lower down the seats, for me 5ft 4" tall , i still have almost 3 inch clearance on top when i test. the leg room also not a problem , when adjust the seat maximum towards the rear still have 1 finger gap...

the point is, 1.6 flx cant match the 1.5 but heavier honda city, which makes the statement of 6% powerloss at the CVT highly doubtful.

dyno cvt is useless. that is why im interested to know how they can get the 6% power loss.

that is why the lancers and inspira cvt can never get a consistent reading..the name also variable.

based on the kerb weight and calculated power loss,(read my earlier post),

the saga has smaller tyres, lighter body, less powerloss than the city.

haha..cuz doesnt make sense lo..6% powerloss...DSG can discontinue lo

the moment i know hp and torque of executive preve and with the additional extra weight, i know already it will be smoked by saga 1.6 flx se.

saga flx 0-100kmh is 2 seconds slower than the preve based on the brochure, 12s in saga against 9.5s in preve..

i feel that the one in the proton's brochure has somewhat underestimate the power of the engine... 9.5s is slower than the lotus neo which is at 9.2s... and i do feel the same with 12s saga flx... maybe they use eco mode on the saga gearbox during the test with translate to the higher time taken to sprint from 0-100kmh...

u need to take account the drag coefficient of the saga and city as well...

wat u aspect? the leather also take from puchong 1, the push start button is last decision 2 weeks before launch.

for proton staff to see only in proton styling department, the dashboard and door trim so fragile, no keyless entry , really stupid how to compete with euro market.

not really lor
