black colour looks absolutely gorgeous. unfortunately no photo as my phone ran out of batt.

Not bad but the design is not revolutionary…

I am yet to see a Malaysian car with the “WOW” factor…

I drive a Wira, enough to go from A to B in comfort.

>>>yeah.. sedan cars in black always look nice, but I don’t like the idea of keeping it always clean. You only are hardworking enough to clean your car at the early stages..hehhe.. and in my case.. I usually get over those early stages real fast.. hahaha..

danny
>>>I haven’t test drive the car.. I wish I could. The Persona didn’t have the ‘WOW’ factor.. but then again.. its the price that counts..

Just as ugly as a Vauxhall Astra….

PS:ensure you remove the cut-out..otherwise…the cost of yr fuel is hell.

I would opt for Saga too, if compared to MYVI. Look at the space at the butt of the Saga. And all the refinements based on the Savvy. Its a good car with lots of quality and the price speaks by itself!

Another seller for Proton, putting Perodua to shame and back to its No. 2 spot where it belongs previously. HAHAHA!

Dont you think so, cdason?

Looks like a Savvy + Wira hybrid. Do post a review of your test drive should you go for one (I recommend that you take one).

>>>you are entitled of your opinion cheers!

Ndmervin
>>>Hehehe.. I don’t want to side any manufacturer. I think, if they produce good cars, we would be more than proud to have them made by Malaysia. I’m not really sure on how good Proton is doing, but the past few models have seen less complaints… We would just have to see *wink*

Azmeen
>>>I have booked one!! So, if I get it before the test drive is out.. definitely.. I’ll let you know how it feels.. The way I see it.. I don’t think I’m canceling my order. After all, it fits my budget..and I do not wish CIMB bank to drain me of their huge interest!! So Azmeen, wait up for my review on the test drive!! I’d gladly do one!

nice, i think u wont regret buying it kan? heheh

zheilwane  on January 16th, 2008

you guys are crazy, you haven tested the car yet u all paid Rm500 for booking. Dont you guys know proton’s quality. Moreover. huge amounts of bookings from not rational people like you might increase the price of the car. Imagine nobody book the car. definitely proton will reduce the price. You c, rumours about the price was below 30k den 35k now it reach 40k, this is not a cheap stuff. don rush in buying something so expensive somemore with a manufacturer which is famous of poor quality

Jos  on January 16th, 2008

I don’t find anything nice (design and performance) with the saga, maybe cos to me proton cars isn’t very good for its price. Would prefer a Hyundai or KIa anytime over that. No offense btw, just my point of view.

>>>I can’t answer that until I actually have the car.. I hope I won’t!!

zheilwane
>>>The RM500 is refundable(so I was told).. There has been mixed reviews on this car, and I have to admit I am not a nationalist, but I buy the car because it is a sedan, it is said to be fuel efficient, and because it is cheap.. I just hope it is worth it.

Jos
>>>No problem!! You are always welcomed to say out what you think here!! I don’t really like the front of the Proton Saga anyway..

usws  on January 16th, 2008

I still fine the shape abit funny.. like they cut two different cars and joint them together in the middle. Out of proportion in a way, not as nice to look at as the MyVi IMHO. But at such prices, looks can be ignored as long as it runs well and lasts long unlike Proton cars i had experience with in the past. Power windows jamming, locks breaking, rain shield (if that’s what you call it) coming off. Uhh, but the engine part looks really neat, or maybe it’s still clean that’s all.

BYE!

p.s. Waiting to see another car model on the road.

ember  on January 17th, 2008

Wow..you’re ahead of Paultan.org! hahaha.

I’m a big fan of its rear too! =D Can’t wait to see the real thing with my own eyes man! xD

MerDuriaN  on January 17th, 2008

First I like to see the back design.. erm seems like Proton BLM really didn’t disappoint me… unlike the Persona really want me to vomit

>>>The dealer said all the problem you mentioned are going to be a thing of the past.. So , we just have to wait and see whether it is true..

Ember
>>>Paultan.org already said he would be doing some special report tomorrow. And he got the privilege to test drive it. I wish I did.. Yeah, I can’t wait to see the real thing too.. I bet Proton dealers would be busy tomorrow!

MerDurian
>>>Yeah.. there are a lot of rear fans for this car.. but the front.. errr..

ali  on January 20th, 2008

Woo hoo i tested the new saga, the engine is same as pesona, EXTREMELY noisy and the inside is so small, make me feel like driving a kelisa. Myvi instead is spacious and the engine is better. Hope myvi will have a sedan version soon

cdason  on January 20th, 2008

Ali.. really?? I’m waiting for the test drive. I heard it will only be available on the 23rd. I got to say.. if its noisy like the Kelisa.. hmm.. thats hard.. But the Persona wasn’t that bad when I test drove it. Kelisa is loud though.

ali  on January 22nd, 2008

yup, they let me drive around the service centre not outside the road as it is only a sample car. The salesgirl told me i was the first to test the car, how lucky. I drove my friend’s kelisa and i feel it is ok, but persona is loud n no power

cdason  on January 24th, 2008

so.. its really that bad? I mean, the kelisa is is loud.. and you say the BLM is loud too??
