erkk seriously saga 1.6 powerful? maybe average i can consider, but powerful maybe not.. 0-100km/h in 8s is consider powerful enough for malaysian road, not joking here, with that kinda of acceleration u can follow most new car n luxury car with no sweat..

it is considered quite powerful for a new generation car
if compare to old car..like civic, corolla or waja...of course old car win...response also faster(no lag)
new car/new engine all want to pass emmision test that they tuned down the power to nothing
so with a "persona engine" put into a lighter weight saga...its actually consider powerful already

but with 2 cars u need to maintain izzit it a bit difficult? can u afford to maintain 2 cars at one time? if me i prefer have 1 car that can do almost any daily driving, some trackdays, 'balik kampung' drive, can carry a lot of thing (means sedan car), and weekend driving..
*
totally agree with you.. that what im really thinking. but i dont really care for balik kampung driving. cuz i have no kampung.. furthest relative is about 1.30hr driving.. carry a lot.. i dont really need that too.. cuz biggest thing im gonna carry probably my laptop bag.. haha..

saga ? seriously? im not looking for a family car like i said before.. and a saga? seriously?? back to loan bank while my neo having the same engine and better frame? sorry not to belittle saga... but seriously? shocking.gif

if u put like that maybe.. but TS here prefer more powerful car which cheap to maintain, saga 1.6 is a new car.. n its performance not that sweat.gif , summore with CVT gbx (which its not advisable to high rev it alwz) n also new car parts not cheap eventho its proton..

more powerful car of course go old school
but those car isn't cheap to maintain if got major problem as well
new car part not cheap but if under warranty thn no worries, only worry abt wear and tear part only
after warranty end, part price will drop already
but since he owns a neo already..thn hard to decide..might as well keep his car

hermm.. depends on which car, not all old car parts are expensive.. if model like EK n EG sure a lot more.. i think as long as half-cut shop is available, most old car parts can buy from there..

ya couldnt agree more on you..yes proton parts availability is more dependable. but honda parts more reliable.my brother just bought ek3 yesterday... but looking the condition of the car .. i almost pull away.. main concern is. the engine is not stock anymore... well whoever changed the engine will know how it felt. some like it some dont.. like me i prefer it stock. but the leather seat. seat vibrator, enough to keep me happy.. never the less it was an easy car to drive.. let him use the car for a while and i will ask his review of the car and he have a good review in a month time i think im gonna get an eg myself.. preferedly an eg6,(i prefer hatchback) but because of its rarity i might just get an eg9... and 1 more thing about my bro newly "used" car... the lips/bumper/skirting is much cheaper then my satria.. lol...
