Hi everyone, new saga owner report in...
I have booked my saga yesterday, M-line Auto, mountatin blue..
expected date to getting my car is month later...

mahal eon faster ka? i dunno penang where got eon..... i book at proton edar slow le hell

wow also eon?

Yaya, it is EON, but actually normally they promise customer for the date of getting car is at 3 months, because they dowan set the wrong expectation of the customer.

But for u guyz info, the order form we signed will submit to Proton to manufacture, the factory wiill build according to order number, so there is no way to get ur car faster unless the SA got previous customer who booked n dowan so they can use the previous order no to chase the car then only can giv to u faster. It is kind like contra so that they first customer can get back their deposit.

This is wat i have been told by them.

Hi,

I would like to book a new Saga, but I have some question on service and safety which cannot get good answer from Proton. I ask Proton live chat, Proton I care, Proton service centre, all cannot give/ no sure the answer.

1. As mention by some website, Proton Saga BLM design to service interval of 10,000km by using mineral lubricant. But the some service centre told me 10,000km service, some told me 5,000km service, some even 10,000km but using expensive fully syntetic lubricant, don't know which is true.

2. And the ATF changing, some SC said 20,000km, some told me 80,000km, which is correct, can experts advice?

3. The safety rating of this car, we cannot get the answer from Proton. Why Proton unable to let us know the safety rating, this no need to hide from consumer.

Thanks!

What you pay is what you get
Safety rating is in your hands, drive fast your ratings drop lo, drive like uncle confirm safe.

1. I think 10,000KM service interval is for using Semi Sync or fully Sync engine oil. For mineral better change at 5000KM.

2. In the manual book ATF only need to be change at 40000KM. But there is no harm changing at 20000KM. 80000KM I dont dare to try

3. No comment. But i personally think this car is safe for its comfortable ride and stable handling at speed not more than 120KM/H

My old iswara has light at the gear area. New saga doesnt have it. You need to rely on the dashboard panel. I have already got use to the gear without light now after driving for a week:)

The sc use semi synthetic oil for my car but it stated next service at 5000 km

i think because it's still in the running in period that's why need to change at 5000KM interval. After the 3rd service you can stick to 10000KM interval but only if u use semi or fully sync engine oil..

My old car wira using semi synthetic also but workshop also ask me change every 5000km

i saw few complaint about the gear light..... i think its good to be placed at meter panel.... everytime shifting dun have to see at da gear knob..... since this is my 1st auto car..... no problem for me ... i get used to it redy

I also got problem at 1st because no light, so use to looking at the gear there see which gear im in, another annoying thing is the key hole does not have light also at night cant see so i main cucuk only at night.

haha actually 10000KM interval is only for fully sync engine oil. But some people just stretch the service interval to 10000KM using semi sync oil.. Now i'm using mineral oil only for my first service cause still in the running in period and the service interval is 5000KM.

On my 3rd service i'm planning to change to semi sync oil and service interval to 7000KM would be good enough.

DONT KNOW TRUE OR NOT
