Dear friends, if you plan to buy a Proton Saga..be it the FL, FLX or SV..don't buy it. I own the top of the range FLX 1.6 CVT model and I know and have experience of why you shouldn't buy one. Just would like to share my experience to you folks.
Reason ?
1. It's suspension is designed for people with no back bone at all and nor with a presence of a body. It's harder than a rock. It's just shatters your bone whenever you go over anything, including an amoeba !
2. Fuel consumption is bad. Full tank is at 40 litre and I've never managed to go beyond 360KM range. ( Combined drive urban + highway @ maximum 100KM/h with 2 passengers and an empty boot )
3. The CVT gearbox is the silliest and laziest gearbox in the world. Don't be fooled by the 6 speed gimmick. It's just useless especially when reversing.
4. Don't be fooled by "oh buying the 1.6, not bad ah". Its terribly under-powered once you have passengers occupying the back seat.
5. Steering just wouldn't go in a straight line after any alignments and after checking with SC. I wonder what the engineers were taking as inspiration when they designed this car. From what I've seen, it must be zombies !
6. And speaking of price, my car cost me RM50k. RM50k for a car doesn't sound bad at all. But I didn't buy a car. I bought a lump of poo. RM50k for a lump of poo is astronomically expensive.
All in all, just don't buy this car. If you are on a budget, get something else. Just because it's cheap like the Saga SV, doesn't mean you should buy it.
Just get the new Kia Picanto, MyVi or any other cars ( Which are priced almost the same ). Just not this one yeah ? Hope this shall help your future decision when buying cars.
