Saga MC2 Standard MT after 10,000km. Thoughts, road tests and dislikes.

A video about after driving the Saga for almost 10000km, the likes and dislikes. And maybe why if you could, spend 12k ringgit more to get this over the Axia.
Sorry if the car is messy, my family frequently drives the Saga too and they all loved it.
Hope you enjoy the video, this video took me quite long to do compared to the other review videos.
There was a section that I removed.
I explaned that the Saga is such a good price for people because our old Saga BLM MT when we bought new was 34,500MYR OTR and this Saga MC2 Standard MT was 34,800MYR OTR, a 300ringgit increased only with so many features and improvement added. However I learned that the price has now increased to 38,600MYR OTR.

Hi! Great review. Proton owner and former Proton Service Advisor here. I currently drive an Iriz 1.6, previously owned the original Saga VVT. I honestly miss that car, I would've kept it if it wasn't for the unstable nature of its CVT, which has been greatly improved on my Iriz. I really recommend new car buyers to get the Saga, especially in its current form. Spacious enough, quite reliable, easy to maintain, comfortable and fun to drive. Just a slight correction, current Protons, are no longer tuned by Lotus, and it hasnt been so since the Suprima S if I'm not wrong. However, they are tuned by Proton Ride and Handling team, which are VERY capable in their own right having learned from Lotus over the years. They may no longer be tuned by Lotus, but the essence is still there!

Thank you for the comment! Really happy to see someone liked my super low budget review haha. Regarding the Saga MC2 with Lotus handling remark. From what my Sifus / technicians said, since the Saga VVT (first version of the MC2) which was released on 2016 before the year Geely took Proton and therefore Proton still owned Lotus. Not only that but the chassis of the Saga VVT/MC2 is just a slightly extended version of the Saga BLM which was tuned by Lotus. So, technically, we could say that the Saga MC2 has a chasis originally tuned by Lotus but also later improved by Protons ride and handling. Also in my opinion, and majority I talk to, Saying the handling is tuned by Lotus sounds more interesting when taking about the Saga hahaha. So there's no right or wrong actually.

thanks for your honest review , i was considering between saaga manuel and axia e, youbgave me very useful insight. hate that axia not come with central lock and trunk need to open with key, if have it it is perfect with the price

[@ethansrandomvideos6312]

No worries, glad I helped you with your purchase decision. Yeah I agree! If the Axia E has a central lock and trunk release lever it would be perfect.

[@SameSame-gv8ln]

Central lock and trunk release for Axia E I dont think this was the issue as we can install it via accessories shop with just about Rm200 - 300. For me, the Axia E main let down points is no ABS or ESC system☹。

[@ethansrandomvideos6312]

@@SameSame-gv8ln Yeah but it's already an inconvenience to go after market to some so it's still considered an issue. Plus we won't know how long will the after market parts last, a single original lock assembly from Perodua for one door already cost 95MYR.
