  • The Proton Saga really needs no introduction. But after nearly 30 years, is it still just the cheap and cheerful national car, or has it now become something more?

    Thanks so much for having me guys! I used to think that the saga was the cheapest car you could get both in terms of price and quality. But after experiencing this generation of Saga, that clearly wasn't the case. Great great car!

    I bought the previous version for 35,000 in 2016. It was my second car and first car abroad. I was a foreign employee. I will never forget how great the ride and suspension was. And my cruising speed was 110-120, no sweat. Freedom to check out all the beautiful places in Malaysia. I have taken many memorable photos there for me to cherish forever. Beautiful country (Gorgeous skies sometimes!) and the perfect car to compliment her.

    I just got my Saga Premium S for about 2 weeks now. As someone who's used to driving Perodua cars and Toyota Camry, its a very refreshing experience. Saga seats are super comfy and stylish, the handling are great.
    The only thing I think need some modifications are the throttle response and the break pedal because it feels quite soft but that is just my preference. When you reach 100 kmph, feels like the car refusing to go any faster for awhile but there's really no need to go over 100kmph in the first place. I can just cruise along at 80 kmph and it still feels good.
    The lack of Android Auto and Apple Carplay is fine by my standards. I only needed Bluetooth to play my Spotify playlists. CarbitLink is just troublesome to use. No cap.
    Overall, its a car worth every cents.
    Comfort 5/5
    Infotainment system 4/5. idk why they're not using same OS as Persona and Iriz, thinking about installing a tweeter and soundproofing in couple of months.
    Handling 4.92/5 Throttle response could be better, brake pedal can be stiffer.
    Fuel consumption 3.85/5 its not fuel efficient but its ok
    Aesthetics 4.9/5
    Safety 4/5 doesn't have A.S.A but its ok

    Not just for the young guys. For me with about 2 decades driving and car ownership experience, this Saga is the car that I want to own so bad. Price, ride & handling, features and practicality checks all my boxes. It will be my first Proton (also to my family). There may some plan to improve the mechanical drivetrain sometime soon. But still, good job Proton.

    I have a Saga VVT , a 2021 last model before this 2022 version came out. It is the normal basic manual variant. I also have the highest spec of 2019 Myvi.
    Believe me or not, Saga is more fuel efficient and more comfortable to drive compared to myvi even there's a big gap of price between Normal saga & Top Spec Myvi.
    The NVH cabin in Saga is far more quieter than myvi. The cabin noise in Myvi when driving at 80kmh is equal to my Saga when drive at 1++kmh. Engine noise also more quite than Myvi.
    Proton Saga will make you think that it has a super thick tyre when you drive that car into harsh roads (which can be found in other Proton models too since it's their DNA, starting from persona 1st model & later model). The level of comfort here is absolutely amazing.
    On the other hand, Myvi is totally not comfortable at all. Many of my friends & family relatives are also using perodua cars (from bezza to ativa & aruz) and all of these perodua car stock suspension feels like using spring potong! Even more sad, some of them (my aunty) don't even realize it since they are already used to perodua & japan cars. And all of them have experienced the same problem that can be found in my Myvi which is the dashboard will shake like my old Perodua Kancil when passing the yellow line. The interior noise in myvi when going into a harsh road is also a nightmare! A common problem in Perodua also can be found when driving on rainy days where the rear passenger can hear the wet rear tires noise clearly. While my saga seal that wet rear tires sound perfectly (considering its price)
    For practicality, we all know that electric steering should be lighter than hydraulic steering. But why is steering in Saga surprisingly lighter than Myvi's steering? This is mad engineering by Proton 😂
    For attention to details, the wiper motor doesn't give any noise in Saga while Myvi will give you the motor wiper noise. The lock/unlock door sounds & seatbelt warning is far more gentle & quite in the saga. The sound of closing the door in Saga is far more satisfying to hear while for the Myvi, it feels like an old car. Power windows in Myvi also give louder noise.
    In my opinion, the only good thing about perodua myvi is their exterior & interior design while Proton cars only offer a simple design which makes the rakyat think that the Myvi is a better all round car than Saga.
    For fuel consumption, after using perodua for many years, I personally think that Perodua has an overrated marketing strategy in fuel efficiency. They claim that myvi can go 20km plus per liter. But in the real world, Myvi only can go between 12km-13km per liter while my saga can go to 15-18km per liter, which is even more accurate to what Proton advertises.
    Of course Myvi still can be considered as a fuel efficient car since it will give you the same fuel consumption even if you drive it spiritedly or gently (which is good) while my proton saga can be a fuel hunger if driving in a spirited way. But at least my Saga can go to 20km per liter if driving it slow enough.
    As a conclusion, thank you Proton for your ride quality & comfort, happy rev engine & price offer. For perodua, thank you for having more engine torque & vtec sound, more technologies (even the reverse cam has 3gp quality), consistent fuel consumption and attractive design.

      @@muhdmat8454 you must try it first to believe. I buy myvi in 2019 since my main car (exora 2009) is a super fuel hunger. So I bought myvi in 2019 to spend less on fuel. Myvi can go 100km before the bars in the meter is minus 1 from the full bars (so I thought it was a fuel efficient car. I bought a saga and it can only go 80km. But if you calculate the trip until the fuel warning, saga definitely can go higher km. I feel Perodua wants to fool me by manipulating the fuel bar in the meter 😆

    I test drove yesterday, just for fun. I think i like it. Can live with all cons like fuel consumption, no active safety, old platform, halogen bulbs, bla³. But one con i really don't like & it's mentioned by the reviewer: the slow downshifting gearbox. Man it really slow even if u already half-throttle, it still refuse to go to third. Putting in S mode also hardly made a difference. I wanted to drive a bit more aggressively to test the gearbox but the SA seemed uncomfortable hahaha. In my memory, Bezza & Axia is more trigger-happy about downshifting & accelerating and more convenient to drive in town.

    Better car than my 2017 saga. planing to trade with this Premium S because at last, Proton put the most of the feature I want. Auto fold side mirror, 4AT GB, auto power window and leather seats. But lack of aircond flow mode is my biggest NO. Got sweaty foot. I really need foot aircond.
    Hopefully they would fitted multiflow mode aircond.

      Saga VVT chassis are the same as saga BLM. BLM is also just using a proton savvy chassis. The difference is, Saga vvt has 40% stiffer chassis than BLM even though the design is the same.

    • @tr6864
      @tr6864 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      And the good thing is when the chassis is the same, you can use saga BLM parts to replace your "kaki2 kereta" such as lower arm & etc which result in a more cheaper spare part that is already cheap compared to other competitors
