New Proton Saga BLM
Dec.29, 2007 in
Automotive
This is hot. The most awaited Brand New Proton BLM real photo unveiled. This photo is calssified as spyshot, the man who took this photo really brave enough. The new proton is believed to have 1.3 campro engine with a price less than Rm35,000.
With a nice shape and of course brand new design, I think this model will get a good sales here in Malaysia and will give competitor model such as viva, sutera or even myvi a tough challenge.
What do you think ?

Dont know this new proton car engine can “tahan lama” or not…
why sell cheap price sure got “problem” ?
any comment to me?
January 3rd, 2008 at 1:47 pm
the engine still use the same engine use in neo, gen 2 1.3
selling cheap not necessary got problem. They manage to sell cheap may be because of reduction cost effort… etc.

To me the price is reasonable due to its design and features. That is nothing wrong with the price for this kind of specs. The right price for the right car. It is not cheap..just nice. But.. when it is compared to perodua price i.e viva and myV…the new saga is much cheaper. proton enjoy less price because it no need to pay royalty to anybody. Where as viva, myV and the rest are more expensive because they have to pay royalty to the daihatsu/toyota since they are using their engine and design. That is the main reason why the cars of perodua is more expensive. So the moral of the story, be strong and independent, dont rely on others all the time.

January 18th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
Proton Sux seems to be like some typical malaysian whom dont wanna put effort to improve but only knows complaining. hahaha…On the other hand..i think its a good effort, despite its cut an paste…how do you guys think Japanese did their cars last time?They reverse engineered other cars or we call it here, cut n paste car…and improve from there…i see proton will be big in the future..(that is offcoz with the right political and management team involves). Good job proton….

I dont think the car price is cheap. If compare 1st version of SAGA, quality has been downgraded. Check thro’ the quality of external & internal furnishing, very much difference. I would say ok-lah. Malaysian expectation always low and easy to compromise. I think the car is quite suitable for low salaried group people.
January 19th, 2008 at 11:56 am
BLEH BWK SUDE……………
January 19th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
Wow!Malaysia Boleh.
January 19th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
The looks are not attractive, but it is a good try… hopefully it will be a good reliable car
January 19th, 2008 at 9:51 pm

TAHNIAH Proton!!! walaupun x sehebat keta import tp tetap berjaya menambat hati rakyat Malayia…. aku dh tgk n dh cb keadaan keta nih, xbyk perubahan tp lebih memuaskanlah…terasa cm naik keta import lak heee
keadaan luaran simple n mengujakan. dalaman pula memikat mata memandang. sesuai untuk keluarga yg sederhana n simple… semoga proton akan dapat bersaing semula dgn jenama2 yg len..

Shit … Look like Shit
January 28th, 2008 at 12:55 am
proud to the malaysain product…yeah….keep on touch babeh..haha
January 28th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
I inspected the car at roadshow location & my honest opinion - the car is considered value for money (for a RM31K to RM39K $$tag). Bigger than Viva / Myvi at reasonable price. Honestly, I agreed that it looks a bit like previous model Vios. Consideration - will there be any 1.5/1.6 version 80kw - 107HP??
February 7th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
saga very good wat!I also book 1 already!
February 7th, 2008 at 3:21 pm

February 13th, 2008 at 10:57 am
Proton Shit!!!!!!! Bodohlah orang2 yg mempertahankan JEnama Nasional NI!! Yg memporbodohkan RAKYAT SENDIRI!!!! SEDARLAH SEMUA!!!
February 13th, 2008 at 11:06 am
My fellow Malaysians, do you know that PROTON Selling their cars to NEGARA LUAR lebih murah daripada NEGARA SENDIRI!!! ImPIAN(waja) , Jumbuck (arena) semuanya adalah "Extra more", "High Quality" and "cheaper" compare to the cars they tried to sell inside Malaysia which is "NO EXTRA" and "LOW QUALITY" dan mahal bagi menampung KERETA PROTON YG DIJUAL DI NEGARA LAIN!!!!
.
February 14th, 2008 at 8:29 am
pilih kasih,whatever it is..thats still our car and not many country in the world built car and malaysia is one of those 11 country and malaysia is the only muslim country…
In fact with new management, we can see lots of improvement. The only things is malaysian perception on proton car, sometimes they dont even have proton car but love to talk bulshit about proton.
February 16th, 2008 at 1:16 am
nice looking external and internal
February 25th, 2008 at 9:58 pm
Nice but still it could have been better.
March 4th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
More Malaysians should buy Malaysian built products because it generates income for our people. Proton cars are affordable but still have alot of areas to improve in terms of quality and technology. Malaysia has come a long way to create a heavy industry base. No one should blame the dedicated engineers who created these cars but the blame should be put on the corrupt management. For Proton to proceed further, we need to join the ranks of the best, selling cars in Malaysia won’t be enough, the real scene is the world market.

This Blm is nice but the interior is quite simple an for sure cheap price cause cheap interior. Plus the engine is only produce in 1.3 series n high capacity needed for big car like blm. For sure high fuel consumption needed for small capacity engine like BLM and big body… Jsut like the limited saga produced few years back. Cheap product likely to be high risk for the users.. I m suggesting to proton to do upgrading for Blm especially produce option in engine series.. Why dont 1.5 and 1.3, more options for customers.. Full spec interior> The price will increase for sure but about 2 to 3 thousands increase is ok.. Good option thou
May 9th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
Unbelievably high fuel consumption!
25cent/km on town roads;
20cents/km on highway
What’s wrong with the car?
May 12th, 2008 at 10:36 am
how about this new proton saga? anyone can give some comment related this new proton saga….
May 12th, 2008 at 6:03 pm
if you read in many forums, the problem like power window no more a nightmare, but some minor problem still there, but not that critical….
May 15th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
my wife booked this blm end of january. But still waiting to get it. According to my friend, the fuel consumption is low
May 27th, 2008 at 9:01 am
yes bpj, proton has told to me that the fuel consumption is low.we can save 10cent for each 1 kilometer..i have booked dis car since january and will get it next week..(4 month la)…

June 3rd, 2008 at 2:02 pm
What a bad experience!
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!!!!!!!
June 10th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Got my BLM…no problem so far….really stabil at 145 kmh…..gone 397km and the lampu minyak menyala but still have abaout 10 liter in tank…..sadly no abs…only airbag…too bad….sales person called me 4 day in a row asking if the car is ok…..good after sales service.
But with all that spec for a below 40k car…..still considered cheap…..if compared to perodua.
June 22nd, 2008 at 11:16 am
also got my blm…..dah drive for about 7000km…so far so good….selesa jugak la….worth for ur money….good job bro(proton)
June 24th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
got my blm,but i saw karat at the driveshaft
June 26th, 2008 at 10:48 pm
Just got my car for a week now. Manual. Great suspensions, engine feels very rough but nice to drive.
However, consumption is bad, 11.8 km per litre or RM 0.22 per km, and that is hardly getting the revs over 2000. Perhaps the engine is still tight and the revs are high.
Anyone have any idea and how to reduce the consuption? My 8 YO proton iswara auto has better millage
June 29th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
should i go for viva of new saga??
because viva is from a real metarial and new saga is like from the trash can that recycle stuff?
June 29th, 2008 at 7:44 pm
danial : if fuel consumption is your concern, go for viva, but if u wanna space and cheap stuff go for saga
July 2nd, 2008 at 5:34 pm
can anybody with experience on BLM auto, let me know the fuel consumption for 1 km is how much?
July 3rd, 2008 at 4:14 am
i will be getting new saga..since i was forced so..no choice at all..
they always aim me that viva is small,small,small,small…here goes my fuel money…fly fly~~ (student)
July 6th, 2008 at 11:24 pm
Quentin Howell, my 10 yrs Iswara Manual get12km/L or 22sen. New Saga about like this, so it is pretty poor mileage. I know how to effectively reduce fuel consumption for Iswara, i have the idea. I m thinking about buying Saga, I may have to think twice + twice.
July 7th, 2008 at 12:22 am
saiz tayar tak kena dgn bentuk keseluruhan kereta macam kartun sikit…
July 20th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
I bought Saga BLM manual T.with full spec. Iam quite suprise with the FC. Before the 1st. 1000km service I just got 270 km before the fuel indicator start to glow. I taught there must be something wrong with the car, but after my first service I managed to get around 300 km. for full tank before the fuel start to glow. Siapa kata Proton Saga BLM jimat minyak. Kena tipu.
July 23rd, 2008 at 4:38 pm
aku nak tau kos penggunaan minyak utk kereta bLM ni coz aku akan pakainya x lama lagi..utk 1km berapa RM?
July 31st, 2008 at 11:42 am
I had bought new saga for my parent…that car ok laaaaa..not to bad and effordable price..
August 10th, 2008 at 11:57 pm
Rite now im cmpring between thz Saga n Viva.Thnx 2 admin i thnk i’ll go for viva bcoz of lower fuel consumption compared 2 Saga.Eventhough Saga has more 2 offer in terms of spec but fuel usage is important also. Congrats to Protn mgt..Well done.
August 18th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
Friends ,I thought of buying Proton Saga Auto .Need some honest comments especially those who is or are using it.
August 20th, 2008 at 11:58 pm

1 liter 50km.. tp bawak 40kmph, xde aircond, gear selalu kat N, naik bukit slow pastu bila turun bukit matikan engine… sekse x?
August 23rd, 2008 at 8:35 am
my caldina RM100 = 320km
August 24th, 2008 at 10:40 am
Bagi sesiapa yang ingin beli proton BLM, baik fikir habis-habis. Saya dah pakai 4 bulan (M line full spec Manual). Minyak kuat nak mampus. Pemanduan 70% bandar 30% highway. Kelajuan 80 - 110 km. Minyak km/l ialah. 10.5. Innova aku pun tak kuat macam ni. Bolah dapat 12 km/l. Lebih baik beli Myvi.
August 24th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
Baru beli BLM auto tp tak tau aper2 pasal kete… Cermin sisi saya tak leh adjust (actually takde tmpt nak adjust) Call proton, kata ada. Apa patut saya buat?? G sendiri @ call salesperson?? Agak2 berapa lama nak fix prob ni?? Sila beri tunjuk ajar… TQ
August 24th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
kuat betul tu atan ….
Lyna,
Send your car to service centre
August 29th, 2008 at 10:41 pm
Got my BLM. FC is cracy for this small car, more expensive than my honda city. Turning also not stable, may be small car. I would think this is good for low income people who can’t afford to buy other car. Think twice before you consider this cheap stuff.
September 23rd, 2008 at 11:30 pm
Wow… So many complain from BLM cust.. Shit.. i already booked da car n it,ll ariived next month… Hope i can get a 100% BLM with no prob.. i reli support PROTON.. what for waste so many money to buy expensive car.. i rather use da $$$$ to makan puas puas….
September 23rd, 2008 at 11:37 pm
For HAHA.. Hoda City is much more expensive than BLM…. FC is just how u drive ur car…
September 26th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
if u use stock BLM I think not much problem u will get in term of fuel consumption….but if u add bigger rim for example of course will give side effect on FC
