I believe it is the lowest spec thou, as you can see it is wearing steel rims. Higher specs with alloy rims should have chromed..

It is still based on the current Saga FLX/BLM platform. Proportions should be similiar and more "conventional" compared to Persona VVT.

Can't be helped since it is based on saga platform.
Persona gets 5 star due to iris platform is 5 star.
I guess we can expect saga rebuild from scratch maybe after new engine come out..

Adult Occupant Protection
Persona 14.07/16 vs Saga 13.33/16

Child Occupant Protection

Persona 82% vs Saga 71%

Even IF Proton decided to put ESC into Saga, the score itself will rule that out
(min 14 point for 3 star)

QUOTE
ASEAN NCAP sets a pre-requisite for cars to be awarded the best possible rating in Adult Occupant Protection (AOP). Only cars fitted with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) (or similar system that comes with a different name coined by the manufacturers) and Seatbelt Reminder (SBR) will be considered to be awarded 5-star given that they perform well in the 5-star range. Cars that scored in the 5-star range but missing either ESC or SBR, or both, will be relegated to 4-star. In other words, a 4-star car that has points in the 5-star range performs better in crash test compared to cars in 4-star range. The reason behind this is to encourage manufacturers to installed this active safety features (safety assist) that primarily mitigate the risk of road accident (ESC) and reminding users to wear seatbelt (SBR).sos

Nice steering with proper logo not stamped logo like perdana. But still no foot and windscreen aircon. Curios to see the seat, if new saga get comfort seat like iriz/persona best lah. I hope the ride not stiff as flx and too soft like fl & blm.

To be more visible to vehicles behind you during foggy / heavy rain conditions.

But Malaysians have a bunch of attention-whore drivers who keep it on even on fair weather nights.

In Proton cars, if the user switched on the Rear Fogs, that means they really do intentionally to be switch on, as the lamp will switch off automatically whenever lights off or engine switch off.

It is supposed to be very bright, some even brighter than brake lights. The point being if the rear vehicles can't see your tail lamps due to poor visibility situations, there is still a chance they can spot your foglights.

That's why those who use them during normal weather are utterly retarded.

It is supposed to be very bright, some even brighter than brake lights. The point being if the rear vehicles can't see your tail lamps due to poor visibility situations, there is still a chance they can spot your foglights.

That's why those who use them during normal weather are utterly retarded.

I have visited the proton showroom in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah just recently at about 4.30pm. I haven't test drive it tho. My thoughts on new Saga:

-Doors closes like the new persona
-Good sound system/speakers. Music lovers like me will love this car in my opinion.
-Cabin is quiet once you close the doors.
-Cabin is a little bit smaller than my Saga FLX but still roomier.
-Driver and passangers seat are comfortable.
-Solid framework than my Saga FLX but not so strong compare to the new persona.
-Foldable rear seats yay!
-Beautiful design!
-Bluetooth and usb charging port for all variants.
-Rear view camera for the Premium version.

Overall, its an average car without those fancy safety equipment like the persona. However, it's way more comfortable, has quiet interior, and the framework is strong compare to my Saga FLX. I'll test drive this car soon.

Dissapointed Proton nowadays still offer car without ABS+EBD. Saga is meant for low cost affordable, but not mean it can exclude this important safety feature. Still alot of kampung ppl dun realise the importance of it and will still buy it.

Not all ppl will know the importance of ABS, sure got ppl will buy if they offer. They shouldn't offer such variant if they insist safety is their main focus.

My vote for Standard Persona, because it has all the safety feature plus 1.6 engine. But, if you love music like me, go for Saga Premium because it has 4 speakers. Standard Persona only have 2 speakers. 2 speakers is ain't that bad because both cars has good speaker sound quality but I prefer 4 speakers for better soundstage. Me, I'll go for at least Sage Executive. I have tested the new Saga speakers and Its good, good sound quality and punchy bass. I haven't test drive the new Saga tho. Its up to you man.

I think all manufacture use HPF tech just we dont know how much they use and which section. Other manufacture not using the tech as marketing. If not how can the car achieve good score crash test if not using the HPF tech at all.

Seen and test drove the new saga earlier evening. Here is my review:

Exterior design:
Exterior design is subjective. To me, i prefer the flx smaller headlamp compared to the new one. But overall its ok to me.
The rims are actually nicer than in picture actually. They are in a darker silver tone ( not in the standard variant rim cap ).
Everything is nice, the door feels solid like u get in persona. No more milo tin sound! Since the car is heavier than be**a, the car dont shake when u shut the door.
Boot toggle is effortless to operate. And there is only one way to open the boot, which is from inside. No key or boot button operation. I like the LED signal on the side mirror !!

Interior:
The fit and finish looks improved to me. The steering isnt as bulky as those in preve. Maybe proton has shrunken it. However, the downside is the meter cluster looks extremely small. Somehow the hole in the steering isnt big enough still to see thru.
Aircond switch, the row of buttons above it are fitted in nicely with decent feel to the quality. The only button that isnt nice to press is the one on the radio. They feel shaky and hard to press.
Signal toggle is tight too, so u need more effort to switch the signal on, whereas the toggle for the wiper is much lighter.
Buttons on the steering are also of decent quality. Power window switch are brought forward from flx, so theres no one touch open or close function to it.
Glovebox has shrunken, and now u only can fit in your manual and nothing else. U can even see the wires after u open it. The good point is the front passanger's leg wont be hit after u open the glovebox because it dont open any larger.
3 usb port across the range, with 1 front, and 2 behind.
All radio comes with bluetooth connectivity.

Seats are pretty comfortable for thinner peoples. They are more supportive than those of flx, but since they are more supportive, it means its huggy and larger people will suffer abit here and there. If there is an option, the one in iriz or persona is much much comfy as they are large.
Rear seat's headroom is decent for people of 175cm. Legroom is the same as persona, so its still acceptable. ( yes. It loses to be**a ). Shoulder room is of course smaller than persona but smaller size ppl wouldnt complain much. The seats have been reclined too, which means now u can sleep !
Gear tunnel have shrunken too, means middle seater wont complain much in longer journey.
No armrest thou. But the seats do fold down fully for ikea shopping.
The faux stitching on the dash is abit more up class to my taste. Feels better.
The metal gun finish around the aircond for premium spec feels very nice and makes the interior looks less dull. Its much better than the fake piano plastic across the dash on the be**a.
The aircond feels a little cheap, especially the area where u switch the direction of the air. It feels like its gonna drop one day. Oh ya! No leg blower or whatsoever. Only 1 mode.

The door handle is in metal gun too. Nice! But 1 complain. Why there is no cover to the screw hole?? Is that 1cm x 1cm plastic expensive?

The central locking button on the dash isnt functional when any of the door is open, including the engine hood. So pls take note ya! Safety feature!


Driving :
One thing for sure is an improvement is the sound insulation. The cabin feels much much much more quiet than the predecessor. Minimal tyre roll road noise, wind noise and engine noise. Even if i floor the gas paddle, the engine still roars gently. In fact, very gently. Not because its not roaring, its because the sound insulation is in a whole new level for saga!
100km/h is still the same, the increment in outside noise is too insignificant!
Steering feels a little lighter, yet i still feel like driving a hydraulic power steering pick up. Abit on the heavier side still, but at least i know what the tyre is doing and facing.
No vibration on the steering in low rev. Control on the steering is ok but not very precise imho. But one thing is i feel confident on corners at high speed, even at speed 100km/h.
Throttle response is slow. Throttle lag is another issue but thats the characteristic of cvt. Compared to the outgoing flx, the new one is laggier. This means that the rpm go up first, and then suddenly the car move forward out of sudden when the rpm goes down to where the rpm supposed to be at that speed.
When u wanna overtake, u will need to think twice as the car lags of power. Even if u floor the paddle, the car acceletates very very gently. So there is no point for u to floor other than slowly press the gas paddle. Its the same on axia. Exactly the same. To save fuel i suppose...

A very greatly appreciated update will be the new cvt gearbox. Super refined and smooth compared to the previous gen..

Brake is decent for local cars. Hild hold assist (HHA) is very useful especially in slopes.

Gear knob shifting feels cheap. When ure trying to engage another gear, the feeling on the knob is abit on the loose side. It feels incompete or untidy. U can feel it when u put between R and N, or between any gears. This really need improvement. Its like asking the owner "are u sure?". Funny...

Reverse camera works like a charm. Because its displayed at the rear view mirror, it means that the display is small, and leads to better and sharper resolution. Its bright too. Very helpful, but im really not used to it.. weird...

Best part is that the safety belt reminder dont sound annoying smile.gif it ask u to wear your safety belt gently and calmly. Sweet!


My comment:
Proton should have abs for the standard variant at least. Take go the rear fog lamp, 1 usb slot and reduce 1 speed for the aircond ( the aircond is already powerful at speed 2 ). But pls return me the abs at leastttttt..

And, pls, dont use the old proton saga key fob. Real shame. I like the flip flop like samurai small pen knife smile.gif so cool!

I like how it sound when i start the engine. Actually its quite silent hahahaha


Thats all for my review!
Pls take note, its just my review. Dont condemn me pls smile.gif

Nice review. I wonder for somebody who is not familiar with CVT is it difficult to get used to this delayed CVT response?

Is it up to point of dangerous to over take other vehicles if you are not familiar with CVT characteristics for people who don't know anything about cars.

Put it this way will you consider the car to buy for your spouse ?

Dunno what to comment about new saga...but love the looks. After test gaga, straight test persona, feel that persona more pikap(pedal more sensitive) like sport car than saga.. Sekian #bknpotongfanboi #exflxexecowner #flxkutotalost #akuownaxiaeevjew

It so happened i test drove with a saga flx 1.6L cvt owner.
We both test drove after one another, and his comment was definitely less power compared to his 1.6L. He can overtake easily at karak with lots of confident with his 1.6L.
He also noticed the new saga cvt+ lag is a little laggier than his first gen cvt. Its just at the beginning after u accelerate from a complete stop. To make description easy, its like first time driving a manual, where u didnt release enough clutch, and then u try release a little more and the car jump forward a little and start moving, while the rpm back to where it supposed to be.

Cvt lag dont really appear during drive. But the power delivery is slow but real smooth. Very suitable for smooth cruising, not spiritual driving. I supposed this is for fuel saving purposes.

He also told me u can speed up, but instead of the cvt suit your driving style, u should actually suit its gearing manner. It means u have to play with the rpm here and there and your gas paddle to ensure u have the power u want. Cvt owner will understand this, he said. Its all about cvt. Drive it long and u will understand, he adviced me.

Dangerous to overtake? Well i did once, while a 2016 persona was on its way on the last lane and i cut into his lane before he could pass me. It was at 100kmh. Not really dangerous but not adviced to because the persona saw my signal from a distance and hessitate whether to let me cut in or not. Anyway, he managed to brake on time, so, yeah.
Mid range torque is ok. Acceleration from 20kmh to 80kmh is acceptable. But after that, its up to your cvt skill.
I will advise for u to be familiar with it before trying to do some stunt smile.gif

For spouse? Hmmm.. depends on what are the available option. But so far, the competition only limits to bezza and attrage as an A segment car, if i didnt left out any other.
Attrage's acceleration is a little better with its mivec engine but there is a price to pay. Of course, its much spacious too.
Bezza is using 4speed auto. Floor the paddle and u will get instant rev upwards. But bezza is on a different story compared to a normal auto gearbox. When u floor the paddle, the rev goes up, so do the engine roar louder, but the power delivery is still similar like saga. Its like fart loud, but no smell biggrin.gif
Those who dont used to cvt will prefer bezza for its auto transmission.

Keep attrage aside for its price, we will be left saga and bezza. Easy. Saga for safety and size, bezza for fuel consumption and tech.
Both have its weakness. Doesnt mean bezza using toyota's engine, it will be hassle free. Ive seen many cases and problems of bezza like the radio isnt functioning at 1st week itself. Ive also seen the gear prob where the engine shut down after dis-engagaging from Reverse gear. Some even have nonsense popping out from meter dash.
Saga's prob isnt identifiable yet because there isnt any new owner yet. We shall see. And stop the power window dilemma for once because proton is offering lifetime warranty for that. 10yrs in precise.

Well, if put both into concern, i will choose saga because i believe in proton's safety. Accident occurs unpredictably. Merc or proton dont give us the option to choose when and where for the accident to happen. To me, safety comes first before everything. Travelling to other location includes reaching the destination with 2 arms and 2 legs.
And asean ancap dont really covers alot of part as per euro ancap. I dont think there is side collision test or rollover test. Correct me if im wrong.

Maybe your spouse should try and suit him/herself to the cvt because i believe many current cvt owner drives an automatic previously.

Peace!

It's great to hear Proton improving on their quality for both Persona and Saga. Only after being in years of complacency and almost bankrupt with govt bail out with a 1.5 billion loan did they buck up and start doing things more seriously.

With Bezza as competition Proton will need to pull up its socks higher and compete against the Perodua model otherwise it will continue to bleed tremendously and eventually becomes bankrupt or sold off entirely to a foreign entity.

I hope Malaysia can have a 3rd car manufacturer. With competition, better products can be offered and Malaysians will benefit.

Bezza AOP got 15.38/16.
So it is entitled for 5*.
If bezza got VSC, then its 5*.
If no VSC, its 4* only.
So bezza got 2ratings.

Saga AOP got 13.33/16.
So it is entitled for 4*.
With or without "VSC", saga only max 4*.
Sovsaga only 1rating.

Car with good AOP may get 5* only if it is VSC equipped.

Correct me if im wrong.

Thanks for the detail feedback. Just came back from new saga test drive.

Overall the route wont allow me to drive beyond let say 70 km/h. Anyways I did feel the slight lag between the RPM increase and the moment when the vehicle actually move. This is mostly experienced when you are close to stationary let say going out of parking lot or going out of a junction. I first experienced it when trying to reverse out the vehicle - at first I felt vehicle was not moving when pushing gas pedal gently so naturally I put more pressure then suddenly the vehicle reverse a bit with more power or speed then what I intended.

After reversing the vehicle I move forward and again I do feel the momentary delay of pressure on the gas pedal and the moment when the vehicle actually move. Once you are above let say 15 km/h this delay becomes less apparent.

Overall if you get used to the power delivery I think it shouldn't be a problem and just need to get used to the power delivery when going out of junction or overtaking a vehicle (I didn't get to test this part due to route of the test drive).

Yes. What u test are real. That lag is the characteristic of cvt. Ntg much can be done.
Whatever it is, i dont see many cvt owners do complain about this issue after driving for some time. I guess time is the answer to this.
