When asked about the 1.6-litre engine being fitted to the new Saga, Dato' Syed Zainal said that this is already under development but is intended for the taxi market. Discussions with taxi drivers showed that extra power is required but the engine will be tuned to run on NGV. Whether a non-NGV version will be sold to the general public will depend on demand.(which i think no demand as 1.3 is cheaper compare to 1.6)

Won't they spoil market for other models if they do that? They already got Waja, Gen-2 and Persona at that range.

in case u haven't been keeping up with the automotive industry, all cars now make use of plastic to reduce the relative weight of cars for better fuel effeciency. lower budget cars, not only the Saga but all in its class, use lower grade plastic. more expensive models use better quality plastic. proton is in fact, a little late in catching up. our cars were still using alluminium engine blocks when everyone else switched to plastic, including mercedes benz, volkswagen and BMW. and i'm no proton fanboy.

p/s: on a side note, Perodua's plastic is somewhat of a better quality. I don't know for sure, but aren't they now using the same manufacturer/supplier? DBM Hicom?

For your info the new saga intake manifold is made with high thermal plastic to replace the old campro aluminum block thus lighter weight.

i have the same feeling with u...is it because of the size of the body and 1.3 engine?

Why are you guys complaining about 1.3 and 1.5? This engine has a higher output than the 1.5 you know. But with a heavier body so i guess its same as a 1.5 in term of power to weight ratio. Camparing with my wira tongue.gif
Wira =92bhp
Saga = 94bhp

sometimes the waiting time depends on your luck and how big is the showrooms..Seriously the bigger the showroom is the more likely u'll get your car faster compared to smaller one because of their capability to keep stocks and usually bigger showrooms is kinda like tier 1 distribution for proton.

haha seriously the waiting kills, at least it killed my sis haha. The proton showroom outside my house here (Cheras) have tons of new car coming in. But still no sign of the mountain blue colour that my sis booked...

My sis booked on sat/sun after the car were launched and were told if black or green can get it within this week as the stock is ready. laugh.gif see its pretty fast i dun like green, but black seems ok. Looks more fierce to me hehe

Lies all lies, i booked the car at the Jalan ampang showroom, huge showroom with all kinds of proton car on display, they told me that i will get the car soon as im in the 1st batch. No news till now they say they have not get their allocation yet vmad.gif

just got my saga last friday, i got the auto version , overall ride and handling is good.Power is lacking. i get around 250KM for RM50 for 70% city driving + 30% highway driving.I am really disappointed with the build quality,there are already weird sounds coming from here n there, i get "krak krak" sound coming from engine bay whn moving,and the engine sometime makes "tak tak tak" sound like diesel engine.Somemore there is something loose in the speedo, i can hear vibration sound from the speedo.gonna goreng potong whn i send the car for 1st 1000 KM service.Anyone have the same problem as me?

Bro yours M-line or B-line? Wa rm50 for 250 km same as my wira auto 1.5 blink.gif
Hopefully mine will have no problem when i get it. wink.gif

Haha after some post from alpnick i also started to suspect something fishy about his comment. If can't post picture nvm at least post a scan of the service receipt you get from proton sc, all the record will be there.
