My daughter Cynthia has passed her driving test and got a "P" driving licence. She has graduated from secondary school and in a college now. She has requested for a car so that she can drive from Cheras to Sunway instead of giving us troble to fetch her to-and-fro everyday. We have read article about new Proton Saga, with so many good comments, we decided to book a new car for her, worth about RM40,000. After a few months waiting, the salesman finally told us that the car has arrived. I paid the balance of the down payment, and the car was hand over to me on 30th May 2008 (Friday) afternoon 3:00pm at EON office, Taman Mutiara, Cheras, Kuala Lumpur. My dauther, Cynthia with excitement, pick up the car with his brother, Eric at 6:00pm after schooling. Driving from the EON office to about 1KM, the car brokedown. I called the salesman Kenny, and he seem like it is none of his business, I have to call the Sahabat EON myself. Handing over A PROBLEM NEW CAR TO CUSTOMER IS NOT HIS BUSINESS????????? Where is consumers rights? He finally call his friend, a foreman from EON Chan Sow Lin to make a repair. But the car breakdown again and unable to restart a second time when reaching home. The foreman from local service centre at Bandar Damai Perdana was unable to fix the problem either. What a nightmare!!!!!! New car with QC PASS tags! The car was towed to the EON workshop this morning. Hoping that this time, they can hand over the car with error free!! Say "No" to Proton for the rest of my life after this incident!!!!!!! What a bad experience!

I drove the Persona, and MyvI, and it was both decent with MyVi having an extra edge. My main concern is actually how long can the cars last. Is proton still in that same lame quality segment? Price wise, it is always good to consider the BLM, but then again, ais the car economical since it looks quite huge for a car using a 1.3liter engine. Fuel prices will go up again this year.. and there is no point having a car which uses lots of fuel... In the end, I still can't save up on a house. there's so much to think about *sigh* Its not actually about the experience of the drive.

About choosing your car, you have to make your own evaluation as you will be the one using 'and enjoying' the car. Before you pick the MyVi have a wait for the Proton to come out and compare it. If you feel you wanna have an early feel of the BLM, test drive a Savvy :) and a Saga. But at RM30 - RM35, the price would pretty much make the MyVi left behind. But bear in mnd that this is suppoed to be a replacement for the Saga (but built on a Savvy basic frame) while the Persona was supposed to be a replacement for the Wira (but built on a Gen 2 Platform). The Saga is known for many shortcomings so keep that in check when they intro the actual model. Who knos it could be your dream girl all this while. Buying it, you save the extra bucks to deposit for your new house :) and you know the proces of hiuses are spiralling crazily up up and away these days. Consider that when buying your dream machine :) Happy New Year 2008! About choosing your car, you have to make your own evaluation as you will be the one using ‘and enjoying’ the car.
