Lol talking bout FWD, i didt know our saga can drift, i was hard cornering just now and my front tyres lost traction so basically i was going side ways with the front tyre freewheeling and i blip the throttle to regain control....lol got one guy look at me mata terbeliak. Must be the wet road.

Guys, then i think my Saga has some problems then...
Its like, when it starts to crawl (pick up), it is damn like a cow, get what i mean, the gear won't change, u can feel it. You step on the pedal, the rev meter won't increase, you have to wait for very long, even after the engines warmed up.

My experience going up hills, esspecially genting, i put 2nd gear, oh shit, the car won't respone to my throttle input, i need to step all the way down, then the rev willl boost up so high, around 4k 5k, then it only changes gear or gain speed... if not it will maintain at around 20kph...

Eh, this is very serious...

Try trashing the car a bit rev till redline and speed around...see if that breaks in your engine or not, i scare you baby(manja) your car too much till it went into sleep mode.

Hahaha...ya...try rev high ...it will change gear
just like at the mechnanic test drive and explain to me
1st gear 2k++ rev
2nd gear 3.5k rev
3rd gear 3.8-4.0k rev

Hey BLM owners, I'm interested in buying one but I've heard many saying the manual car is hard to drive..
I've tried it once and the common 'problems' are:

* slow reaction when i accelerate
* first gear damn hard to engage
* hard to find the balance (the point of releasing the clutch to enable smooth gear change)
* rpm drops very slowly when clutch is pressed to change gear (by the time you change to another gear... the engine like roaring d)

Is it because of the car or is it our driving habits that need change??

areankim
if ur having a manual gear blm, suggest dont.if auto recommend yes.

cfng76
walao eh..manual and auto different mar..baru i noe u comparing between manual and auto la.

crusader2
if im not wrong..4" as well.

jacky5283
u can use the L gear instead of the normal gear..but better if u go check at the service centre.

MR_alien
u mean front wheel drive or four wheel drive?

-storm-
u didnt drift, u went buang instead.haha.

it will be much more better if u warm up the engine before u drive.I used to do that every morning.Pick up is slow and the rpm hard to go up but i do not find this wrong actually.once ur gear change to 2nd or 3rd.This car can accelerate very fast. fast i meant.

understeer madness


*drive-by-wire technology
*mine also like that, but i just live with it
*drive-by-wire again
*drive-by-wire also

u will find the smooth spot to change gear when u drive it for a while. Most of our first time is like u also, dont worry

My saga blm got alot of problem

1)high fuel consumption
2)not smooth acceleration, kinda slow and no power
3)door problem, when i press the door hard the light will bright even i lock it.
4)even with power steering i still feel the steering is heavier and slower then other car

nv face tat problem before..... jus before u reach to the entrance conner try to downshift the gear .. with 4krpm to standby ... once the car got around 5 meter to conner straight away press the full throttle confirm the wheel will spin up and power will climb up to the hill 1....... u can ask lambofgod give u the video clip on BLM to genting ....

What car you're driving previously? Must be a luxury car i think .. cause i drove a toyota corolla and honda civic previously and i don't think this car is that bad compare with both the toyota and honda i drove previously.. maybe i'm lucky i guess getting a trouble free saga blm..

Added on September 4, 2008, 12:52 am1. normal for new car...after few service will be better
2. u maybe didn't break in your car.
3. tell the SC your problem....sure they will fix it...it's under warranty
4. u serious?...it's lotus tuned handling.....it's perfect for me....i can turn with 1 hand....
Dn't expect it to be as soft as those 4WD car...like hilux

1) May I know are u driving the auto or the manual wan? I heard that the manual wan has higher fc than the auto wan.If u r driving this car in auto slowly like how i dirve here in malacca town. my fc is rm0.3 = 1km while i came down from kl to malacca through highway is rm0.17= 1km. how high is ur fc?
2)new car i supposed bloew 2000km?it will improve after 5000km trust me.warm up ur engine before u drive. it will be a very big diff.
3)No cars are perfect mister. even a brand new bmw has it own minor problem. I had problem with my handbrake as well.drive ur car to the sc and ask them to fix it.
4)u r joking. proton's handling is tuned by lotus tech. dont tell me u prefer myvi handling. i think u need to exercise ur arm. offense.I felt more secured and easy to drive my saga out. I am proud of it

regarding question 4... erm... to be honest, i prefer the steering to be slightly on the heavier side. i have a neo, blm and also a myvi at home.. both the neo and blm's steering is almost the same. you need to work it out on the steering. as for the myvi, it's so light... TOO light it's scary if you drive it along roads like highways or mountain passes. just my 255sens.

I pump Caltex 92 (RM50) yesterday, Caltex 97 (RM30) the prevous day.
No different in City Drive but Highway need to step more to get 120kmh.
I will try it out to see the fuel consumption.

bravo...hopefully you dont deform the conrods and piston due to detonation.

jeng jeng...going to get my car nex week....after almost 2 month and a half wait....going to drive back from KL to Melaka....so wanna ask... if i understand correctly break in is sumtime drive until RPM redline for quite sometime or drive fast ocassionaly...is it correct?

So sad, booking a Saga now, need wait for 6 month if choose color! haiz

choonkeong
one day u will noe wat u did that day was wrong..

My one...full tank...from get new car until now also 330km-340km Maximum... =.=''
Have try 2 times before reach 370km+- and really smooth when accelaration..after clip a save fuel thing in engine petrol paip there..run infared...(borrow from my uncle friends...for testing...because he tell me can save petrol and more smooth when accelaration) now give him back oredi..cause that thing costs Rm 259... =.=';'

BLM auto 3rd gear is powerful..I always change to 3rd memotong other cars... ^.^''
This week I wan kick in my 1st and 2nd auto gear...try to reach 5k rpm...warm it up...next time 1st n 2nd can smooth and not like cow... ^^
