From: Kota Kinabalu, Sabah


I drive Saga FLX SV CVT for 3 years, here's my thought on my car:

-Agile car with good handling even without abs/ebd/ecs system
-NVH not so good but I don't care
-Good looking car especially with the elegant brown colour
-Regular maintenance is about RM 250+ (can get up to RM1000+ if you change the cvt auto transmission oil, timing belt etc)
-Good audio (speaker) system. It has clear sound and good bass depending on your mp3 bitrate quality. Way better than perodua and most toyota car audio.
-Hehe...no broken power windows so far for 3 years hehe
-Jerking CVT at low rpm or during bumper to bumper traffic jam but smooth when at high rpm
-Surprisingly durable car
-Front brake is already noisy (brake pads still thick) because I abuse it during my trip from Kota Kinabalu to Keningau and vice versa. The Banjaran Crocker when you drive from KK to Keningau and vice versa in Sabah is way tall compare to Genting hill in peninsular Malaysia (correct me if I'm wrong). I haven't change the brake pads for 3 years btw).CVT perfomance during that hill climb, 2500rpm at 35 km/h to 45 km/h. Slow but thats what you get from auto gearbox.
-Good suspension
-No interior rattle. The only rattling noise I heard is from pendrive, screwdriver inside the glove box, perfume spray can, and pen under the cd player thing.
-Sometimes my Saga FLX CVT can't start the engine. For example, when I park my car for 30 minutes to 1 hour to go shopping. Now after reseting the computer, It rarely happens, but it still happens. (any saga flx cvt sifu knows about this problem)
-Back right side got hammered by careless driver when that person was reversing. Got it fix but there's 'scar' leftover from that accident. Arggghhh...f#@! careless driver lol.
-Haven't change the headlight and taillight from the beginning. No burnt out light bulb yet during my 3 years car usage.

P/s I love my Saga FLX. Now I'm eyeing the new Saga huehuehue

Are those shock absorber prices? And where do you live? Because they look really expensive to me blink.gif
Try the automotive garage or survey online for prices, I don't think they should cost beyond RM600 for a full-set.

Aiyaya... This is the price from KL/Old Klang Rd, OUG area.

Anybody could confirm the price range?
Still, I don't know which brand supposed with the original Saga FLX?

proton oem is kayaba.. but kayaba also have few models for oem and aftermarket.. check with any proton sc and outside workshop to identify the price difference between..

btw local made means made by bosch and other local companies.. ofcos proton is local made mah.. apa la lu tongue.gif

imo, it should be less than 600.. because for my dad's wira it cost less than 400 for full set + workmanship at under the tree workshop in old klang road..
