sorry its crap. only 500km per full tank =p
everyday got problem, need visit SC. So they will always prepare coffee and biscuit to layan. When call, they will already know your name. Hear sounds hear and there, vibrations, rattlings. But hey, CVT engine yo. Beats a viva anytime. Go take both car and langgar dinding see who win =p

I would prefer 5k bike than 40k saga anytime if it just to get me from point A to B

If u talking bout comfy, saga never come across my mind

haha.. can u withstand the heat and rainy day?
if everyone thinking like u, fore sure our road will become less traffic jam thumbup.gif

and try to understand, not all people can buy expensive car, different people got different taste summore, i think all new car is comfy enough.. even new viva 660 is comfy enough for 1-2 persons..
here we discuss about pros n con, not looking down TS like that, its not appropriate if u ask me..

Honestly, with this kind of budget you won't regret to buy a FLX  laugh.gif

If you going to fork out 10k+ for a better car, before loan approve you would feel it definitely better as I experience before..
I was going to get Preve and luckily stopped at the end and bought FLX SE and without over budget  laugh.gif

Just over 1K and haven't go to SC have my first service, it's having vibration and rattling sound from what you call the plastic door/dashboard..
It's really annoying but not a serious issue, it's not like your car died suddenly can't drive anyway and it's a new car unless you got the lemon unit which happened in all the brand..

While driving it, handling does really feels good within the budget and other than that is normall/what you'll expected..
Some people would advice spend 1-2k or lesser to do the soundproof or others, but at the end it still within your budget..
Just consider those car within your budget, be it new car or used car..  laugh.gif

about dashboard rattling sound...my car got that sound too...but after dismantle the dashboard...tight tape the joint connector of the cabble inside...no more rattling sound...my car is neo btw

So Saga FLX is a crap car ?

Indeed. Ok TS, just buy la. After 3 years, pls update here. laugh.gif

crap car for those who think their imported car is superior than saga...hehehe

Not crap for those bought it due to BUDGET

QUOTE(kenjilew @ Jan 17 2013, 09:43 PM)
cars is not investment bike also not investment ma... lols...

must as well no nee buy anything use public transport till u have money to buy good car ?

and btw... i dam regret owning saga blm weih... NOT ! smile.gif
*
Now u agree that both are not investment, so r u prefer bigger loss or smaller loss?

Yes, why is it hard to use public transport n keep your money until u can afford a better car?

I own an MPV and a bike, and i use LRT everyday to work. Problem?

QUOTE(amad108 @ Jan 17 2013, 10:03 PM)
the reason i compare with those car is because they in the same class of cars.. if the price all is about the same, for sure nobody will buy saga lor  shakehead.gif
can u find any cars that which same class with saga have price like it in malaysia ? sure cannot right ?
*
doh.gif
Ur comparison is just invalid.
For eg: china tab and samsung galaxy tab. Both carry Android and in the same class. But why samsung expensive? Im sure u can answer it.

yes, why not? U so manja is it? I've been ride my bike KL-melaka daily when i was studied. Until now i still prefer my bike when in rush in kl.

I never looked down to TS. I give opinion and advise based on experience and knowledge. Thats y i suggest to save some money and get better car in future if TS cant afford expensive car now. It is just a matter of time. smile.gif

old model saga maybe a bit high FC.. newer model i think better now..
using it for 4 days while at sabah, saga flx 1.3 is actually quite ok, uphill with 4 adults still manageable..
but some person does like ride bicycle for long distance compare using a car..

Bad things about SAGA 2nd generation BLM/FL/FLX

1) Why the sound proof is so damn good compare with same price range vehicle? Such as BiBA/MAiBi? I wish to hear how fast I go also cannot!

2) Why the handling so good? I used to hear tire screeching on my wheels when I was Jln Kuching exit Sultan Ismail 60kmh in my MAiBi! Now I can no longer feel I'm fast without hearing those noise!

3) I thought SAGA high petrol consumption, so I saved enough petrol budget. Now found out the FC is more or less the same as my aunty's BiBA,what am I supposed to do with the extra budget?!

4) S4P with 1332cc consider 1.3?! 94hp?! Not fair to Mitsi 4G13 with 1272cc! Somemore selling a newly launch technology IAFM with the same price of the THEN new WIRA1.3?! Unfair to those who bought WIRA with an old ISWARA engine!

5) ERICMADMAN should be dead already if he's in a BiBA when he crashed into a tree, but SAGA saved him! He was going for a suicide! Why? Why save him? Now he had to save money to buy a BiBA & crash again! Poor ERIC.

On top of all these weaknesses, I'll have to wash my car more often! I had to take care of it not to let it scratched! Need to polish the crystal head lamps more often! Now my monthly installment compare to a MAiBi is cheaper, balance 100 bucks also don't know where to spend! SAGA is not meant for human drive! As a smart consumer, think twice before u buy a SAGA!

DONT BUY GAGA! sleep.gif

It can spoil an ABANZA in an accident, so for the love of God go buy something else, or ride a bicycle better still yawn.gif

Oit. Some day I want to sit in your monster.

Saga is ok. Bikes are ok too. If you drive a car you will get stuck in jam but you're safe least prone to danger e.g environment or collision impact. Bikes on the other hand saves time and petrol. quality wise. Yeah. Proton are improving but not as perfect as the other competitor. I would rather let them experiment & explore more on technology rather than cycling the same old design & tech for two decades.

What monster? 1.6 NA, tebu pun tader, slow like turtle oni. unsure.gif


Anyway, why Proton bother with these new tech anyway. Waste time and money developing new drivetrain and powertrain for what? Chuck in a MIVEC and the ole faithful 4AT, save millions of development cost and with a protectionist NAP, they will sell like hotcakes. If their Sushi competitors can get away with a decade old engine with a Jurassic drivetrain, Proton can easily do the same and make even more money. Why la waste money buy Lotus?

Why spend money on incorporating CVT and Turbo? no one cares and no one appreciates anyway, Proton will always be Proton.

Seriously, why do they even bother to innovate? The 90s worked well for them.

Someone said "car is not an investment" that is true. So dont waste money buy expensive car which is out of your budget if all your need is going point A to B. After few years, all car will be worn out, wear and tear, scratches, dull paint, engine problems.

I bought my mom a Saga FL in 2011. She's been using it since for short trips to Masjid & Shops near our house. I sometimes 'curi2' use it too coz to me it's the 'small fun car' type. Handling wise is attainable, but the comfort level is on par with other protons (which is good enough for me!). Done few trips to Kuantan and managed to cruise at 150km/h most of the time (save for the hills). No regrets so far other than the fuel consumption (it's the normal 4AT, not CVT anyway..)

Seriously, with that price, it is value for money.. Where can you buy a brand new RM40k car that is reliable and big enough for weekend trips?

*btw, i drive dugong & sentra

so high...

I get a Kancil also won't get a bike...

Be it point A to B or A to Z, if u are unlucky slightly touch by a car on road, u will die immediately...

If u so hate Proton car, at least suggest TS to buy a old Kancil instead of bike....

so high so high really so high...
