Whats the benefit to us if declared EEV? I don't really get it.  sweat.gif

lower petrol consumption. Normally they apply well to city cars but if you go to highway then consumption tend to increase as their normally or always 3 cylinder engine. Their not meant for performance.

saga is the only chance for proton to undercut bezza and myvi at one shot. persona will be fighting on it's own turf as there's no b seg sedan from perodua, same as preve. iriz is fighting with myvi but it lose out.

Bezza is A seg and for saga proton place it under A+ seg, with the body frame and platform remains the same as old saga, i believe the interior space wouldn't be a a world apart from current saga hence make it more spacious than bezza, but still, it really depends on how much effort proton had put into saga if they wanna undercut bezza using saga. I just worried proton put too much effort in persona and ertiga and less concentration on saga, in the end of the days we still having reliability problem, assembly problem, bad NVH (saga NVH is really a killer i would say).

Just hope that the upcoming saga is a good car, if the fuel ecoonomy is good then it will able to put up a good show, forcing perodua to up their game by improving bezza. i call it healthy competition.

Saga will lose out to the bezza in terms of FC. FC is one thing that encourages malaysians to buy that car. This is why people would rather get the highest spec Axia compared to a myvi or iriz. Bezza would also probably win in terms of the Perodua name where most malaysians(especially chinese) refuse to buy Proton despite all their improvements. Well, u know their reputation.

What the Saga will win at is 4 cylinder 1.3 VVT engine at the very least. Probably with Lotus handling. Safety will have to follow at the very least what the Bezza already has. At the same time they need to keep cost low so probably no HPF or full safety features across all variants.

Just found that manual standard also come with hill-hold-assist which i thought available for auto transmission only.

Anyone mind to share how it works? Do driver need to do sth to activate it or it automatically functions when the car in slope position?
It works when the car incline fwd, reverse or both?

Thanks in adv for the valuable input.

When in gear, HHA will automatically kick in when u press the brakes all the way in. When you release the brakes, u have 3 seconds before HHA deactivates. During this time, u have plenty of time to balance the clutch. Btw HHA kicks in automatically when it detects you're on a slope. Note that it doesnt kick in on very low incline slopes. It works on both. Sometimes on jam hill roads, I prefer to just step on the brakes just enough to hold the car at a stop so HHA doesnt kick in.
*Based on my experience driving Iriz MT.

proton own lotus.

typically, it's only a matter of sticking the badge/logo/marketing it or not.

I was at a meeting with the Proton CTO and someone from fb Iriz group asked why wasn't there a Lotus tuning badge on the Iriz. The response was because they were not using Lotus tuning.

ok. I had my persona for a month now.
Already went to 5k km service.

This week I travelled almost 400km to work.
Rm60 of ron95, at the end of the week left a blinking bar.

Manual calculation
400km with 100% city drive
RM60 = 33.33 Ron95
12l/km = 8.33l/100km

Auto calculation based on meter
6.6l/100km

It seems like the value is not accurate thou, quite disappointed haha. but one thing to point out that is I reset the meter 2 weeks ago la.

But all in all, quite OK with the fuel consumption, one week RM60 (RM1.80/L Ron95) for me is ok la. Hope November can down the ron95 price to RM1.6 biggrin.gif

The meter is quite inaccurate. I advise u to use fuelly to track ur usage accurately.
