** This article is the personal experience of a 2019 Proton Saga Premium owner and does not necessarily reflect the views of WapCar. Facebook: Shahrul Nizam Finding a New Daily Driver In March 2020, I was looking for a new daily driver to replace my ageing first car, the Honda Civic Ferio EK3 (M) which is having various mechanical problems. I’m not fancying for Honda City, Jazz or even Toyota Vios because of high monthly instalment rate over MYR500. This led me to only have 3 option the Perodua

Evolution of the Proton Saga in 35 years  - The pride of Malaysia or wasted potential?

Proton was one of the few carmakers to emerge from the 80s (coincidentally, Geely was also part of that small batch). The first car to bear the Proton name was the Proton Saga. Based on the Mitsubishi Lancer Fiore, the Saga was a big deal for Malaysia when it first came to fruition in 1985. Thirty five years later, the Saga remains highly relevant. The compact saloon is affordable and perfect for young families. It is a worthy successor to the “Saga” name. Having evolved over 35 years, the Saga

Evolusi Proton Saga: Kebanggaan Malaysia atau potensi yang sia-sia?

Proton ialah antara beberapa syarikat pengeluar kenderaan yang muncul pada era 80-an. Kereta pertama yang menggunakan nama Proton adalah Proton Saga. Dibangunkan berdasarkan Mitsubishi Lancar Fiore, Saga merupakan antara keunggulan Malaysia sewaktu ia dirasmikan pada tahun 1985. Untuk pengetahuan anda, sedan kompak ini dihasilkan untuk berharga mampu milik dan sesuai untuk keluarga muda. 35 tahun kemudian, ia masih relevan. Sedan ini masih memiliki kekuatan yang ada pada nama “Saga” selama ini.

Proton Saga, Waja pakai enjin Honda Civic Type R? Inilah ‘engine swap’ pelik dalam casis Proton!

Sebut saja Proton, memang kerjasama jenama itu dengan Mitsubishi suatu masa dahulu tidak boleh dilupakan, bermula daripada Proton Saga 1985 sehinggalah Proton Inspira 2014. Sepertimana anda tahu, Proton mengambil asas platform Mitsubishi yang lama seperti Lancer, Eterna, Mirage, dan Galant sebelum merombak model-model ini menjadi model seperti Saga, Wira, Satria, Putra dan sebagainya. Oleh itu, maka tak hairanlah banyak pemilik Proton menukar enjin asal kereta mereka ke model yang lagi berkuasa.

No replacement planned yet for ageing Proton Saga, BMA platform too costly

The current generation Proton Saga, sometimes referred to as the P2-13A Saga, has been on the market since 2016. To keep it ahead of its biggest competitor the Perodua Bezza, Proton gave the A-segment Proton Saga sedan a mid-lifecycle facelift in 2019, adding a new touch screen infotainment, and a new Hyundai-sourced 4-speed automatic replacing the previous car’s lousy CVT, and more importantly, drop its price to be lower than the Bezza.

Our Ativa’s rattling sound is fixed! What was the problem? - Long-term review #6

It has been about two weeks of ownership with our Perodua Ativa. How have things been? Well, the rattling sound we mentioned previously had gotten really annoying. Every time we drove over abrupt irregularities on the right side, the sound became more and more apparent.

The problem we have with the new 2020 Perodua Bezza

With A.S.A 2.0 made available on the top spec and VSC now standard for the Premium X, the new facelifted Perodua Bezza sounds like it has received the smartest updates. But one thing that Perodua didn’t see fit to bring to the board is an adjustable steering wheel. Yes, the Perodua Bezza still continues on in this cycle without a tilt adjustable steering wheel. It’s not a strange concept as Perodua’s A-segment representatives, like the Axia, Viva, and Kancil that came before the current crop, ha

Is the Geely Binrui (Proton S50) a worthy successor to the Proton Preve?

A couple of years ago, Proton registered several trademarks, including one curiously-named S50, fueling speculations that a Proton Preve replacement model based on the Geely Binrui could happen. The S designation would be logical for Proton to rename their next-generation sedans, as Proton did utilize the S16 name for the Saga BLM in Australia. Although the C-segment sedan market is shrinking, many government fleets still require a C-segment sedan – the police force have resorted to the Honda Ci

There is no doubt that about the BMW’s superior dynamics, which is far ahead of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the Audi A4.
