Even with vvt the saga only gives around 11km to 12km/l for me,
Mine is already close to 4k milleage, i drive in 40percent highway, 60% in crawling traffic
*
4000km still new bro, wait til 10k then it will improve. though with vvt, the engine architecture is still more or less the same from the campro era design, and with the wieght of near 1100kg, a powerful aircond compressor that gives you cold aircond during hot day (yes, it consumes fuel, nothing is free in this world).

My stat so far. BTW, I refill all when at 2 bars.

fc looks good, it will improve when the engine clock up mileage. probably you can look at 11-12 km per liter i believe.

Saga steering will never be as smooth as persona because persona using EPS whereas Saga using hydraulic power steering.
*
hydraulic power steering have a better steering feedback compared to EPS, though it is slightly "heavier" than EPS. If you felt that your HPS is really that heavy, better have a check at SC. i drive saga BLM and the HPS is really not light, at least it is heavier than the HPS on 1st gen myvi.

How often you used the car? Daily? And at what distance and speeds your normally drive it? I had battery problem when I left the car for a week during Hari Raya break last year, about 4 months after I got the car in mid of April. I called the SC and they send a mechanic to check the battery at my home. Since they require the battery for charging and I had to collect it on my own from their center, I decide to send it to nearby tyre shop for charging on my own expenses. Since then, no more battery problem. I believe if you under used the car, the problem will occur as it does not have the chance to recharge the battery. Just starting the car daily will not help to recharge the battery too as it need at least 2500 rpm to charge the battery.
*
at least 2500rpm to charge the battery??? blink.gif

would like to ask something about engine oil.
I know that
Petronas Syntium 3000SE = fully-synthetic
Petronas Syntium 800 SE = semi synthetic

i checked that Petronas Syntium 800 SE is used for service interval 10k km.
Would it better if use Petronas Syntium 3000SE?
*
of course it is always better to have fully synthetic oil if you love your car and afford to pay for the slightly higher premium. fully synthetic oil have better anti oxidation property than a semi syn oil. which means it is more stable

it will surely be a surprise if the saga FL will be using 4AT, the punch cvt improved after so long it soldier on, it surely a miss if proton really switching to 4AT.

other changes are welcomed, as saga interior is dated and this makes saga less welcomed compared to the nearest rival which is bezza.

The only reason why they would choose to put in a 4AT is to make the car mechanically cheaper and that allows them to equip the car better without increasing the price too much.

I can't blame them for making the switch. At this price point, a bit of mechanical complexity could be compromised to make it more competitive to the Bezza.
*
well, that will be the viable way i guess.
Probably proton should work on achieving EEV status for Saga, then it really helps in pricing the car to go against bezza. A=With a car that have better R&H, better NVH, colder aircond, slightly lower pricing (compared to competitor). I think it should be able to steal some market share from bezza.

i personally recommends a new saga vvt if you unable to wait. new saga vvt having better nvh and more improvement against saga flx. after all, new car have warranty while the second hand ones might be plenty of things up for replacement.

i still have the same problem since the day i bought my car... the alarm went off for no apparent reason. the proton service centre can't even find out what's the issue cos the thing didn't happen while the car is in service centre.

it doesn't affect the car engine etc but it's annoying as pressing the panic button won't stop the alarm. The alarm will stop eventually but i cannot open the car using the remote anymore... have to manually open(which is troublesome as well cos need to open the cover) abd have to endure another round of alarm..have to fast fast go in the car, shut the door and disable the alarm.

i'm lost for options...
*
happens to my old saga BLM as well. check for door switches contact, engine hood switch, in cabin dome light, probably these items might contributes. By the way, i just override it by locking the doors manually. meaning the car is not armed with alarm.

It seem too little info we can obtain from this new saga. Hopefully there are kind samatarian can quickly do a test drive on highway review so we can know info like rpm, FC, handling n etc before we can decide to buy or not...

FC shud be similar to CVT. Not much improvement.
*
number wise, really not much improvement. technically, the 4AT box is even more efficient than a cvt. remember, cvt is supposingly a more efficient tranmission than a 4AT. So, it's either the cvt is inferior or the hyundai 4AT simply really superior. now we know why perodua still remains 4AT until now. brows.gif

it's consider big improvement cause they claim tuned 4AT on par (or better) with cvt and it's consider better than  previous 4AT like BLM 4AT.

well agreed.

To clarify on this:

Proton provides 10 years warranty on its power widow:

https://www.proton.com/en/after-sales/our-warranty
1. The following components are covered by warranty for 10 years from the date of vehicle's first registration or 250,000 km, whichever occurs first:
1.1. POWER WINDOW SYSTEM
1.1.1. Power window regulator
1.1.2. Power window switches
1.1.3. Power window motor
1.1.4. Power window run channel

Proton introduced that warranty since 2011:
<a href='https://<link removed>/2011/10/17/proton-introduces-power-window-lifetime-warranty/' target='_blank'>Paultan: proton-introduces-power-window-10-years-warranty</a>

Perhaps you should go to big showroom with plenty model avail and try it out yourself.
I am impressed when try it out recently, against what i usually heard from others: 'proton is crap, go buy myvi/bezza/aruz...'
*
perodua is toyota's grandson, so people will take it as a confident booster. Without a doubt, perodua powertrain reliability should be a tat better than Proton. We can't dispiute that.

Other things, it is a mixed of yes and no. sometime proton parts are ok, sometimes peoruda part are better. But then, perodua sc service level is going down hill, probably they have many service intake to handle (to earn money), so they will be less concern about warranty claims (which is not making money). Proton, i think the service levle should be improved if not better than perodua after geely take over.

Following that mindset, Proton is now Geely + Volvo's grandson. This is also a confidence booster. But it is still hard to change Perodua's fan boys mindset even if Perodua comes out with a super lousy model and they will still say it is a better car than Proton's <insert any Proton car>
*
to mass people, yes it is, perodua axia is even better than a proton saga, that's unfortunate. But undeniably, proton starts this all by themselves. So they get the payback now for their ignorance and arrogance in the past 20-30 years. By right Proton should had been a strong brand if they able to capture the trend during the saga wira years, they just simply ditch it.

Same goes to Perodua today, if they keeping their arrogance and ignorance towards people needs, they will get the payback as well. But then, perodua is smarter than Proton to be honest, they know what and where to hit, that's why Perodua cars able to sell so well.

If geely being serious about Proton, then proton will be having a very good prospect. But then, to recover the damaged image, Geely/Proton just simply need to pour out their double or triple effort to recover.

We will see how good proton is, and how they able to put a fight to perodua when things are being done right. I think saga gonna sell well (at least for this month and coming 2-3 months), but when Axia and Bezza launching FL, then they might snatch the sales from Proton again. Again, it's a "toyodua"
