If u heavy footer, only diesels and hybrids can save u . If not, anything also thirsty.

If you come from the LMST and Proton only sells it in manual 1.3L , then the CVT Saga might not reach your expectation.

I have driven the LMST too, the car accelerates well due to light weight and the short gear ratio, reach 100km/h already, car feels slow due to low HP .

Turbo Preve is the opposite of your LMST. Initial acceleration is slow due to heavy body, once it hits up to speed, it will accelerates effortlessly .

Another car you might consider is the Saga 1.6 SE . I test driven this car and I feel that it accelerates faster than my Vios.

If you go for a test drive , you will find that your current LMST feels more responsive than the Saga due to new Saga use drive-by-wire system which has slight lag the moment you hit the accelerator and the car begins moving. Your LMST is using old-school carburettor which gives instant response.
