The seller quoted me for that price seriously.. he said he got another budget solution, which cost only rm400. i think this budget solution is using another cap ayam brand somehow I think rm800 i can go for another set of comfort tyre .

From KL Auto... Stone Guard ?

see at the blog headline
"The car rattle after 3 days, engine stalled after 6 days and squeaks constantly after 9 days"

at least our saga din rattle,engine didnt stall, and no squeaks(yet) after few days!

loving my saga even more now

This also the fact that surprise me when i ride my friend LMST...

Old Gen Sagas are "basically" kinda Re-badged Mitsus....body with bits & pcs here & there Re-designed!!

Honestly bro, no big difference on tyre noise for the car with or without this wheel arch spray. Just that no spray when water/stone hit it will be more louder, the tyre noise you mentioned during highway cruising is cause by others factor. Just don put a high hope on that, else u might disappointing later.

Yup, agreed. True.
Juz 1 aspect of noise in present day Sagas...

If wanna spend lots on making car silent like other makes/models, might as well change to that make/model...
OR shld hv bought THAT make/model in the FIRST place...True?

Like previously mentioned, alwaz get one's priorities/prefs in correct perspective b4 any car/device purchase.
Don't complain abt this/that after purchase...kinda like "Crying over spilt milk...?"

Hv a nice day with yr own-made choice & decision...

You must know a fact that for most 1st time car buyer, they will not know their own priorities.

For me, i dun even know what is 'road/tyre noise' before i own this Saga. Because I din encounter such 'noticeable' road noise before.
Last time also test drive before i bought, but the road i test is a nice re-layered road, since no aware of this noise, that why dun bother to test on those loose surface road.

Ask in here? Dun even know what is 'fast n furious' in Lowyat at the time...

So Saga maybe is ur cup of tea, or other owners here won't bother the noise so much,
Just i have same opinion as chancole, damn fatigue my ear.

pump up the music volume lo. or use different type of tires.

my exhaust noisier than my tires

Understood. No worries.
Juz a reminder for prospective car buyers...and friendly advice to those who hv oledi bought...

A note here tho...
Saga is NOT really my cup of tea...
Juz that a choice had 2b made & was made. All relevant aspects were considered.
Responsibility of that choice is ours. Accept consequences.

OR....

Only 2 options open to anyone feeling that poor/wrong decision made, namely:
1. Change car to another with better NVH features since that aspect is one's top priority;
2. Modify to upgrade NVH characteristics of car to level expected. Be willing to spend/do wat it takes?

**Be prepared to accept consequences of modifications made! Other noises (esp internally due2 stripping of parts in process) might result, FC might increase due2 xtra weight of materials used, collacteral damage due2 poor workmanship, etc, etc.

ZEONE bro,

Personally, I felt greatful with my "used" BLM. I used to drove below cars:

1) Accord 200i (comfortable as hell,drink petrol like mad)
2) 1990 Potong Knight 1.5S(FF also can drift,front soft,rear hard)
3) 1989 SAGA SEDAN 1.5S(8v Mits Orion engine,freakin powerful! But radiator always boil)
4) 2001 BMW328i(NS way from Sg.Buloh to Juru 6 speeding tickets in total! Record of my summon is 258kmh.business went sour,couldn't maintain it anymore,sold due to aircon compressor faulty. That alone will cost me 7k to repair it)
5) 1976 Mazda 808 1.3(comfy ride,powerful,born as a wild horse.resemble Ford Mustang GT 1969)
6) 1974 Levin sprinter(can slide even 40kmh,born a drift king,many mods until engine blow)
7) 1973 Mazda RX-2(rotary engine,what can I say?)
8) 2001 WIRA 1.3 A/B (full tank RM70 can only clock 280km top most,no RPM meter)
9) 1996 ISWARA SEDAN 1.3 (veli lasak! Low FC oso. But u can feel the car jump even it runover a mosquito)
10) 1996 WIRA 1.6(m) (very comfy ride,hi power,sprinter,ultra handling. BUT the seat is way too low for me. Bumb my head several times,rusty)

Finally, I bought a BLM as a weekend car. Decently comfortable, reasonable noise level, the most powerful 1.3 engine I had before(besides of my RX-2) bearable FC,annoying drive by wire. More importantly, the most economy among its category!so, it really isn't that bad if compare apple to apple.

Dave

OMG~! u driving Mazda 808?? its a good car man.... wish can drive it and test the POWER~!

btw for u mazda 808 and mazda rx-2, which is more power?

P/S : heard a lot from foreign blog, mazda 808 is nice to cruise around~!

David, dont tell story first, tease them dah

Wow, glad to see the happy owners!! May there be more of the same!!

Honestly, no point sit there and suffer lar. Save some money and fix it better lar.

Like me, I already saved up the money edi. Planning to do some insulation work some time in the next two months after I'm done scouting.

Planning for slow and comfort driving or forced to slow and comfort driving?
