Hi guys, i'm planning to buy the new Saga.
My concern is the reliability of the car, whether there are many defects or breakdowns, and the second concern is after sales service, is it reliable as well? What is the service costs that i should be looking at?
Thanks.
Saga is a reliable car and reasonably priced for its range. It comes with std package of 175,000km or 5years warranty. So far there is no major cases of breakdown or defects. I don deny there are some minor concerns which i believe most cars do have it, but it will subside once rectified by the svc ctr.
After sales service: as long as you maintained yr car with proton's periodical service interval, its all under warranty. the service interval are 1000km, 5000km and 10,000km (with free labor charge) then followed by every 10,000km service. The recommended engine oil is mineral based 20-50w and it does not cost more than rm100 for normal lube change, major service is every 20,000km and the cost is around rm150 to rm250. overall you saved half of the service cost with every 10,000km service instead of the norm of every 5000km.
to add on to it, the saga runs on lotus tuned suspension and it has great handling and comfort too. the FC has improved with proper tuning whenever you send in for service. The power to weight ratio is sufficient for the size. latest model comes with tinting and immobilizer key for added comfort and safety. Hope this could clear your doubt in purchasing our national pride.

Bump:
Hi saga owners!!
Just wanna ask :
a) why i cant pump more 30 ltr? this saga fuel tank is 40 or 30ltr? everytime i pump till 30 ltr it's full. the fuel warning light on when there is still bout 8-10litre inside the tank so if u cant pump in more than 30litre is think its normal coz there will be some pressured gas and heat in it, so cant exactly fit 40litres of petrol.
b) Original real seat belts comes in 2 pairs only? should we change it from service center?
the 3rd pair of seat belt is underneath the seat, you may get our svc ctr to pull it out or u can try pull it from under the seat.
