    I've said in many review video. This Saga is the best Saga Proton have produced at such price point. The new latest version I mean. Some may say it was FLX but the enhancement have a lot of sweat and tears behind it. This car is not for performance but for practical daily use, it can satisfy almost all demand. Solid platform from Savvy, ride and handling, the improved new Gbox from Aisin(that have slight mileage improvement). Long haul drive is comfortable, fuel economy not better than Bezza but in overall driving leisure, Saga do not make body ache (honest words from some Grab drivers) for long hours drive and more stable at high speed.. Reliability is improved, easy mechanical means easy fix, high sales means parts aplenty and cheap to maintain. This proton own developed car, not Geely. So the parts are mostly by local mufacturers. You can keep this car for long. Proton legendary aircond.. Honestly I so move wanting it and actually booked a saga for myself but later on cancel it because I suppose to get a 7 seater better. Great review Kon. .

      I have one as daily. All is good, however the NVH is quite bad for a long distance highway drive at 120km/h. Can be tiring mentally. Probably with some aftermarket soundproofing installation will reduce NVH

      @@hakimrahman85 bro, try the under carriage rubber coating first. Get 2 can and spray it under the wheel arch. This is cheap try out than sticking sound proof and it is heavy. So a can not more than RM 20, get 2 cans for 4 corners. You need to DIY remove wheels for better coverage. It also can be due to some tires brand with poor rolling noise after certain age.

    A clever young people will buy saga or bezza. It's the best and worth it car to own when you just starting a career. I know many will say just ride bikes it is way cheaper which is totally true. But I prefer to stay dry when I'm going out during rain.
    Don't buy those expensive sporty cars. You must consider THE AMOUNT OF MONEY you will spend for a long time. Road tax, insurance, maintenance and repair. No matter how expensive your car is, YOU WILL NEED TO PAY FOR THESE, THE MORE EXPENSIVE YOUR CAR IS THE MORE EXPENSIVE IT CAN GET. Think wisely.

    SAGA MC2 has upgraded it's manual gearbox from getrag to china zhizhou.However, the gear 5 @ high speed (120kmh) @3500rpm still consider high, better than blm mt, but still same as flx mt , preve mt gear 5@120kmh@3000rpm which is more comfortable during highway cruising.

    I've rented both the pre facelift and first facelift 3rd gen Saga and I must say it's a night and day difference between them two, especially in terms of quality and the transmission performance. I can even imagine that the second facelift is even better and that it's an amazing whip for dailying it around, especially as a manual. Sadly I couldn't get my hands on a manual, but if I get the chance to drive one the next time I come to Malaysia, I surely would go for it and film a third review on a Proton Saga. One thing I have to point out on the Proton Saga is the superb sound quality of its two-speaker setup. It puts cars with a 6-speaker setup into shame! Yes it might not be fuel efficient, but with the manual I'm sure it can get decent mileage with a tank and that it drives really well on the road with sucking up bumps and humps with ease. Great video bro and I'm looking forward to watch more videos from you about Malaysian cars 🙌🏻.

    • @KonWaiLuen

      Because of the relatively small price differential, most rentals won't go for manual anymore. Besides, you rental a manual car to a fella who can't drive manual... you are charging less and risking the cost of high repair bills with burnt clutches. Haha.

    The base variants of the A segment sedan contenders, the Saga 1.3 Standard and Bezza 1.0. It's no question which is the far superior option. I'm not sure why would you even want a 1.0 sedan, when the base Saga has similar equipment but more power.
    Yes, the primary drawback of the CamPro derived VVT is fuel efficiency. But I drove a 1.0 Bezza recently, it's not undrivable, but you often need a lot of throttle input to keep up with traffic. I don't think fuel savings is worth the trade off here.
    I haven't even talked about driving experience, we know Proton will have an edge here. I actually think the Bezza is fine in this regard.

A little regret but nevertheless what an amazing 1.3L. proton is always a proton, those DNA of best ride and handling, the stability, and hitting that campro engine with 2000rpm and above, i dont get fed up everytime i drive, what a joy of cruising alone..its just indescribable. always feel proud to be a proton fanboy. it maybe slow when below 2000rpm but going beyond that is where u get the real experiance. and for this range and price point, its the best. cheapest comes with best driving experiance.

    I just hope Proton gives us a much better equipped manul version of the Saga in terms of safety. Just add to it's safety features like TC, VSC or ESC and Hill-Hold Assist and just let it be. I mean straight up standardise the Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) across the range. I understand the need to keep the price low which means this will be unlikely to happen. People buy it or not just let the manual version stay in the market forever. I own a Saga LMST (manual) and bought my parents a 2018 Standard CVT Saga VVT.
