hohohoh

hello, im not dead yet for those who are wishing for that to happen hahaha..
im just MIA from blogging for a long time, anyway nothing's much to blog about
now these days, or mayb ive just lost the spark for it..
or my life isnt as happening as before...
or its just pure laziness..

ah i guess it is.. haha anyway..

WHO READS MY BLOG ANYWAYS =P

i shall revive it starting from today, procrastination is bad...

so hmmm well ive been thinking about posting a review about
the new proton BLM ( not exactly new anymore) Saga since ive been driving it
for a month now.....

well i guessed most people have been thinking of getting one
like me a few months ago but have doubts over getting a "Proton".

what convinced me to choose this car? easy
1. Fuel efficient
2. large boot space ( i can throw all my artwork in)
3. Decent 1.3 campro engine with IAFM (intergrated air fule module)which boost up to 94Bhp compare to myvi's 86bhp.btw IAFM is not DVVT or VVT i or VTEC
4. and last but not least, the amazingly low price for a car of its class

Im just gonna give a feedback on my personal review of the car here..

anyway so how issit after a month??

well, its been great, at least i have a larger boot where i can dump everything in it..
quality wise? i shall say typically proton but with the 5 years warranty covered, it shouldnt be a problem. At times i had a few "clak clak and crok crok" here and there, but ill soon be sending it fr service. dashboard and overall interior feels plasticky but ull get used to it. Overall sitting position feels fine to me, spacious comfy and feels solid unlike other proton's.

Driving experiance?
quiet on low speeds and a lil noisy at high speeds partically the wind sounds but still feels stable even at 120kmph. never tried higher that that.
Handling is above average but not as good as other Proton's

Saga uses the same chasis which are found on the Savy's .
The Rear suspension uses a torsion bean axle tuned and modified to fit into a saga
which explains the weakness to carry a heavy load... but still able.. lol

From my research, at least 30 percent of the parts on the Saga are similiar to the Savvy's.
It is part of Proton's move to minimalise on production fees for the new Saga.

anyway to conclude my ( not so very complete ) review,
i would like to say that, overall Proton Saga is a car that have been long awaited by Malaysians, a cheap, practical, fuel efficient,sedan car and its been a great Step forward for Proton to gain back the confidence of the nation.( to steal customers from perodua ) well at least its giving them a good competition.
