I in dilemma between buying Perodua Bezza or Proton Saga MC3. My previous car is Nissan Almera N17, recently I just sold it. And at my house I have Perodua Ativa, serve purpose as my wife daily drive. And a weekend car. Im currently looking for daily drive car, from point a to point b. i did my test drive last week, when i drove perodua bezza i feel like its really small for myself (173 cm height and 100kg weight). but when i test drive proton saga, the size is okay for me and the comfort while driving. To be frank, considering this car i will use daily and paying for the next 9 years. If I take new proton saga mc3, it will be much better and future proof. but on the other hand, if I pick perodua bezza. sacrificing comfort. I will save lot more money on fuel consumption. and also proven maintenance records (which is way much cheaper than proton). the only concern for me is, proton saga offered 1.5 engine in a segment sedan which is very tempting for me coming from nissan almera n17 with 1.5 engine.
Im kinda suggest a new Saga since they use a newer engine. But will opted for the non-premium variant due to the GB used. The Punch CVT used is just the old model CVT as in the other Proton CVT model, where it is the same as in my 2015 Iriz 1.6. It's a kind of hated-love situation with the GB. If stuck in jam, u will hate it more due to slower response (due to Clutch-based CVT), sometimes it rev high rpm like the GB ECU no idea what is that current situation etc, and high rpm at even 120kmh which wont make it good FC as rival where they can get 2k rpm or lower at that cruising speed, I ended up closer to 3k rpm (2.7k+ rpm). Tried few model CVT with a torque converter-based, its a day and night situation, so choose a non-premium unit with 4 gear auto definitely will have a similar feedback as that.Good thing, it has been reliable so far; put new CVT oil every 30k km interval. People said the Geely-based Proton CVT is already tuned for better response, et,c but I have not tested it yet.
