Been using saga BLM 1.3 for about a year now (Mileage 23000km)...

The pros: biggrin.gif
- Full spec only costs around 40K. much better than other new cars at that price.
- Aircon works fine even though almost 1 year. U wont be sweating like hell in this car in a sunny day
- Pickup is there, but depends on which gear and at what speed.. from 80kmh u shouldnt have any problems overtaking the car in front.
- i hit a wira pretty hard until his bumper got a huge dent, and occasionally (quite often) hit the curb when parking, but my front bumper so far only minor scratches.
- Seats are comfy, stereo's pretty good, simple interior, interior build materials are pretty good
- easy to drive. steering is pretty good for its class. dont compare with bmw or merc la...
- u can do 175kmh in this car, though not recommended sweat.gif

The cons: sad.gif
- personally, i think the fuel consumption is quite high for a 1.3L engine... i dont have any evidence though, it's just what i feel.
- Power windows stop working occasionally, first on passenger side, now on driver's side.
- digital fuel meter not accurate. from 3 bar go to 2 bar, then after a few minutes suddenly go to 1 bar, and after a few more minutes the low fuel warning light comes on. the next day will be 2 bar or 1 bar again. it's like "saham". up and down.
- pickup from 0-80kmh is sooo slow.. sometimes u're struggling to take over a bus or a lorry...
- stereo no mp3
