Guys,
I went for test drive Saga 1.6 FLX SE last weekend and I'm quite surprised that the engine sound is quite loud during acceleration at half throttle and full throttle and this is penetrating into the car cabin. I test driven 2 test drive car at Jln Sg. Besi and Jln Ampang respectively and both engine sound is roaring loud during acceleration. Is this normal and why is it like that? Does 1.3 engine also like that? Are there any ways to reduce or minimize the engine sound? According to the salesman, there is no sound proofing at the firewall. The car is good in terms of performance and features for a 50k priced car except the engine sound is really potong steam. Comments? |

The car is good in terms of performance and features for a 50k priced car except the engine sound is really potong steam. Comments? traditional auto box = step on throttle fully > transmission shift down then up > bring rev down > rev raise in tandem with speed CVT = step on throttle fully > rpm jumps to max revolution > rpm stays while speed increases That say, I rarely full throttle. Not even during overtaking. On normal driving, my foot is only "resting" on the throttle. When I need to overtake, I don't even press half throttle unless on highways the most I pull also is around 4,000 rpm. When driven sedately, (speed <110kmh @ <2,500rpm) it only purrs like a kitten playing with a yarn ball. |

QUOTE(narien @ Jul 16 2012, 04:49 PM) Cool! Thanks. Anyone can recommend me good dvd player with LCD monitor? Been checking sony and jvc. and what's the diff between in-dash and double din? need to bore hole on the dash to fit in the monitor? Double-din means it will occupy double the height of the Saga's stock HU (that means it will take up the storage space underneath the HU as well.I'm not sure if any manufacturers build a LCD touchscreen HU specifically for Saga, chances are you will need a custom braket to fit it in. Another question is whether your new HU will work with your steering mounted controls. Shouldn't need to drill any holes.

The car is good in terms of performance and features for a 50k priced car except the engine sound is really potong steam. Comments? Sound from 2k-3k RPM is still OK for me. Even for overtaking I rarely step over 3k RPM during city driving. I only ever go over 3k RPM when fooling around with other cars. The great thing about CVT is that you can keep the engine revving low and relatively quiet most of the time. How often will you full throttle with your car It may be just me, but I like the sound when revving to 4k RPM That said, it could be unbearable for some people when cruising at highway, which I remedy by blasting my radio.

Thanks for your comments guys.
I'm testing the acceleration on flat road for a short distance like <500m. Test drive ma. Going uphill on the other hand of cuz have to accelerate more and that's when the engine begins from purring to roaring. RPM that time is around 4k. During test drive the radio is not turned on. Is it true that Saga 1.6 FLX SE firewall has no insulation? The test drive car is new, odo < 400km. Braking feel like tak makan or spongy. Brakes for new car is like that? |

Brakes for new car is like that? To put things in perspective for you, I drive my sister's Vios up genting, that sound is even more annoying than my Saga, it is a sharp whine and it keeps jerking back and forth between gears. With the Saga's 1.6 Campro + CVT, I didn't even have to press til 4k RPM all the time if I don't want to. RM50k with superior handling + 1.6 power + efficiency of a CVT vs a RM83k 1.5l 4AT Japanese car. What's a little engine noise At least with the Saga, the engine roars than whines Brakes can be fixed, just send it to SC. My brakes quite makan, on par if not better than the Vios.
