![5MT Perodua Bezza 1.3L Premium X | Malaysia #POV [Genting Run 冲上云霄] [CC Subtitle]](/img/n.gif)
Proton Saga is a car that you really can't hate
It's the nasi lemak of cars
You really can't go wrong with it
For that money, it does what it supposed to do, very well
And it's easy to modify too!
It's a car for everyone, the people's car
Perfect comment! 👌🏽
it does more ... it corners super well, high speed cruise super well unlike bezza
Really glad our local automotive is getting better. An affordable car for many but has a very good quality.
Nasi lemak of car..hmmm..agreed.👍👍👍
@@BobbyAngmalaysia I've savored BOTH the 2017 Saga and Persona MUCH TO MY PERSONAL DELIGHT yearrrr
I just bought my mum a Saga to drive my son to school and back a month ago. After collecting the car I now drive it daily and pass her my HRV. The handling of the car, build quality, driving feel hits the sweet spot especially at this price range. A small let down is the lack of LED head lights but one which can be done with a quick change. Overall I am very satisfied with the new Saga. Never know one day I will be singing praises for Proton hahahaha........
So the saga drives better than the hr-v?
I guess it's not a surprise it drives better than a Honda SUV 🤷 that's to be expected really
@@zafranshamsudin9231 probably not but for daily driving to redah jem and riskier surrounding, it's understandable for him to use cheaper car to do so. and with that quality most people won't mind it at all.
Also if you crash or dent it, it not going to cost alot of money that why you can just floor it hence it feeling better to drive and not worry about high maintenance cost. Fuel cost is also very good. I drive an aging myvi se and saga is definitely on my top list of car to get if given the chance.
Hrv suspension is the worse car u can ever ride. Trust me. Hate it every day when u see road bump. Its so stupid. I dont know what honda engineer think about it
Bobby : it's a courtesy to let a Porsche pass
Also Bobby : overtakes the Porsche from the inner lane seconds later...
accidental
@@BobbyAngmalaysia XD XD
Ha ha ha..
Now this is surprising and rare. Good for u Bobby for reviewing these affordable cars.
Watching your review about the Saga, just give me huge boost, confidence wise that i just made a good decision to buy the Saga. 👍🏻
When u drive saga...u never regret...really fun drive like a conti
Took grab rides in this latest saga few times. Was impressed with the improved NVH, and no more 'saga' sound when closing the door. Agree with you that it absorbs bumps and uneven road well, almost similar feeling as in the previous city and vios.
Yesssss i was so surprised
It absorb bumps better than gm6 city.
The suspension is way better than the 2014 City for sure
Bro, suspension in toyota & honda is no match for Proton. Bcz proton had so much R&D in suspension setup. Unlike japan, Malaysia road is not perfect, harsh roads can be found everywhere. So proton use this as an advantage. They do testing of their car on this kind of road until they find the right "recipe".
@@tr6864Saga handling & Suspensions is better than City GM6 & GN2.
Proton learned a lot from Lotus when tuning the chassis & handling
City Suspensions tuning is a joke, yes you hear it from an ex-GM6 & current GN2 owner
Long distance drive the new Alza (RM75k), daily roundabout city drive Proton Saga (RM45k). 2 perfectly sensible cars at RM120k combined!
True but for city drive just get a reliable compact like old myvi or even Honda Jazz/Mitsubishi mirage and easypark
This is good pairing and practical. Cheaper than 1 civic.
Very good suggestion
So very true...both these cars are perfect all rounders...especially for the malaysian market
@@HuntaKiller91 There's something abt the current Proton Saga that appeals to certain customers. It could be the creature comforts, the driving dynamics or both that makes the car feel quite enjoyable for an A-segment vehicle.
I just bought saga as my first car , so proud of myself because I make the right decisions to buy this affordable car if compared with the performance.❤😊
Superb choice for an entry level car!🎉
Since day 1 geely took over, proton's built quality really big improvement
A thumbs up to Dr Li Chung Rong for making these proton car up to the level where it can complete in international market. So much changes in Proton under his leadership....
Definitely it's in the drive. The New Saga has refined a lot of things and it's really amazing.
Just slap on some good tyres (Michelin or equivalent), good springs / coilovers, and give abit of camber, it will handle much better. But for a stock factory setup, Proton Ride and Handling has never let me down. It's also an excellent Highway Cruiser. Stable and still very comfortable despite going above 120km/h. Hence why i still respect and love the Saga.
what springs/ coilover do u recommend and will its still remain comfy?
@@jeffreytendahal2159 been using ftuned for my daily. It's good imho. Got few tuning that you can talk to them
@@ashraffendy2010 hey bro, my daily commute is (for lack of a better word) shit. (Port klang lol). Do you think the ftuned springs will do fine in those conditions?
@@dragonballtorture my spec is road touge. Bit hard but still okay. For yours, since port klang is well known for its quality road, I'll recommend comfort-road spec. Comfortable as standard suspension but better handling and not too rigid for daily
@@ashraffendy2010 alright thanks for your input bro
No doubt Bobby, me as owner of outdated Saga FLX. Im still proud how saga handles and cruising at highways. Im not bias but there's something to respect about Proton cars. That how good their handling and solid build quality.
Very detail review Bobby thumbs up for the great work!!!!
Been a proud proton owner since the first Saga in 1985. Was my grandfather who bought the first saga. That time we were so proud to own a saga and even counts the amount of saga on the road. 😅. After graduated owned a saga megavalve and thereafter owned a wira, a perdana v6, satria neo and just bought an X70 for my daily driving. Was so suprised with the refinement, quality, ride and comfort. Thumbs up to proton for the improvements and refinement. Will always support Malaysian brand and will always have one Malaysian car in my garage. ☺️. Keep it up Proton. 💪🏻👍🏻
Proud to be 2022 Saga owner. I'm the last Saga AMG rims batches 😎
Who asked you
who asked you to ask?
To be honest I rather choose saga than bezza
Yeah one is a car and another is a sampan that comes with gearbox perodua made in Malaysia kualiti Cap ayam selalu Kong, overrated overhyped cheapo ASA safety features used for marketing purposes
@@muhdmat8454 are you sure Perodua gearbox made in local?
@@metitan1398 yes bro , it's manufactured at sendayan, N9 by akashi kikai. Partially owned by perodua and Daihatsu. A lot of perodua car FB groups have complained about this gearbox Kong cases and those are 4AT that's supposed to be very durable. CVT aren't very durable regardless of any brand if CVT are causing the problems then it's acceptable. The gearbox and steering rack also not very durable and caused a lot of problems. Perodua isn't Toyota to be reliable and durable anymore. Now it's just business. Plus they're cheating ANCAP safety scores. It's an embarassing milestone by perodua.
@@metitan1398 Their D-CVT cannot even Naik Genting. It's shows gearbox light to check at perodua service centre
Mostly proton is a good car compore to perodua.
Very glad to note that Proton has made a lot of improvements in their vehicles
Seeing your expression driving this car makes us so proud as Saga owner ..😅
Thanks for sharing Bobby
Thank you so much good sir for this awesome review. Looking forward to getting this car early next year. Been working in Malaysia for 11 years now and this will be my 1st ever car here if fortunate enough. :)
Bobby, love your honest review on the Saga. Wonder how it stacked up vs the King, Myvi?
thanks for the review bobby. great to hear thoughts from someone who is more accustomed to reviewing premium cars.
1 underated feature for the saga is the sound system seriously its really good 👍👍
Indeed,no need to swap out the speakers or add a subwoofer
Agreed bro 100%, bass is just nice
I agree with you bro. I am driving the Saga 2019 model. My setting for the audio: Bass 7 (max),Mid 6,Treble 6
Fad 0,Bal 0 and Volume 15 to 20 depending on the type of music.
Best lah !
Furthermore,you can also do some Equalizer setting with your Samsung phone to sync with Saga sound system.
Sound system so good…. Like panggung wayang😂😂
Yes!!! Better than Toyotas anytime
Baca komen sini byk positif komen. Brbanding lain2 yg review.xsbr tggu saga sy smpi! Tq bobby yg review ni😆
Aaahhh I missed trashing out my saga going up Genting. That tire noise, those bends… ahhh. And as you said, really at times I also feel like the car is asking me, is that all you got? Lol. Thanks for the video Bobby!
The car still uses the well-proven hydraulic power steering which produces good feedbacks for the little sedan.
Although my FLX is kinda outdated, a lot of wear and tear, I still appreciate the sensation of driving around town. Saga is the best for better fuel consumption and good handling. Just need more power haha
where got , old Alza saves more fuel than this :D
Agreed. Except for the unpleasant CVT transmission, my FLX has serve me very well for 9 years without major issue.
Agree, i love its handling, i can cruise on highway at the speed 140km/h all the way from melaka to kl...no floating feeling
enjoy with my wife flx manual 2013.🤸🤸🤸💥💥💥💥💥
good handling yes but better fuel consumption is a massive no-no, gotta give credit AND criticism where it's due.
Can't wait to have mine soon, been months waiting!
Thank you for the awesome review!
I agree with Amer Asyraf92 that the Saga sound system is underrared. I am driving the Saga 2019 model and my audio setting: Bass 7 (max) Treble 6,Mid 6,Volume 15 to 20 depending on the types of songs.
You can do some Equalizer setting with Samsung phone to sync with the Saga sound system.
Best sound system for a 40k car ! I really enjoy listening to my favorites Slow Rock and Blues music.
Another underrared feature is the Saga aircon. Always cooling.
Furthermore, my daughter is still driving her Saga BLM that is already 13 years old!
Honest feedback on Proton. I own a Suprima S. Good car, bought in 2014, and up until early this year, the only car for my family. But after 8 years of using it, some small wear and tear parts require replacement. I waited for 2 MONTHS for some of them. I ordered just before Raya, so the cuti raya affected the delivery timing. But please, proton really has a lot to do to improve its after sales service. Its not exactly cheap too. Bought Ativa as family second car. Will have first hand experience on Perodua sales service and able to compare 😁
Suprima good?..i had a preve..sold that rubbish and swore never to get a proton ever..same goes to few of my colleagues who had that car
@@troll3497 it really comes down to personal experience really
Get over the proton aftersales if ypu can't find a good one. Many mechanic out there doing better than their aftersales. And is more affordable.
@@HotRod16 ya good advice. Now I am looking around for good mechanic providing gearbox replacement. Bracing up myself for the infamous CVT gearbox failure haha
@@troll3497 Ya it was good for me up until early this year. Problem started popping up when I test drove the Audi RS4..oh wait...
agree 💯 . I'm still waiting for my Proton Saga Premium S ... suitable for city drive , long distance drive ..
I just returned yesterday from my first ever trip to Malaysia and I have rented there a couple of cars within the past two weeks of staying there, namely an Axia (Standard G first facelift), Saga (first facelift Standard AT) and a Bezza (pre-facelift X). From all of them I enjoyed driving the Saga by far the most and I'm glad that it was the facelifted version, because with that one the great goodies you mentioned in the video came with the car. Although it was the cheaper variant, it came with two USB ports in the rear, floating infotainment system (no touchscreen though), 60 fps instrument cluster, LED interior lamps, infinite weave grill, Volvo style spelling on the boot lid and the 4-speed torque converter. It is a huge pleasure to drive it, despite of the little throttle lag it has, but the great handling from the hydraulic power steering made this little inconvenience gone. The suspension is really comfortable and even on long drives it doesn't give you a backache. The only gripe I have with the car are the aircon controls without a front defrost and adjustment functions, the missing adjustable headrests in the rear seats and having only two airbags. However, for the money you pay, it's an outstanding product and I think it is a great package. To be fair though, the Bezza isn't shit, just that the Bezza does well in other departments where the Saga isn't, such as convenience features like the various hooks, auto up and down driver side window, aircon adjustment, space in general and fuel consumption. All in all I found the Saga a more pleasant car to drive in than the Bezza, but the Bezza is a great dependable car with good levels of comfort too.
Sadly I didn't manage to meet you while I was in Malaysia, but I managed to meet Thomas on one Evoclub morning drive. I went driving up in the Axia up on Ulu Yam and it was so much fun. Met a few guys and went with them later to have some breakfast down at some aunty's place in Taman Desa. Will never forget this and without you and your content I think I wouldn't have met so many interesting people with whom you can talk about cars and stuff. Thank you for that 🙏🏻🙏🏻
wow! where was i? we should meet! where were you from? are you coming back anytime soon?
@@BobbyAngmalaysia Thanks for the quick reply, I am going to DM you on Instagram right now to tell you the whole story about it 👍🏻.
@@VladsBoredom oh dear i actually have no idea how IG works ... let me try
Bezza's strong points are its fuel economy (a combo of dual variable valve timing system + higher compression ratio of 11.5:1), very large rear boot and better resale value. However, its driver's seating position and visibility is not as good as Proton Saga. Plus, Bezza tends to roll much more when maneuvering through bends and speeding down the highway.
@@izzatfauzimustafa6535 can confirm all the points, the seating position was not really suitable for me, but driving on the North South Highway was quite fine from Penang to KL with a little break to fuel up. The steering is also okay going up on Genting, but the Saga surely is much better. The spongy brakes were much more of a problem to me, but you can always upgrade brakes and get custom made rear disc brakes too.
honestly, saga such a beautiful car imagine putting x70 dashboard, engine and put all the features.
I love how bobby of kayangan reviews marhaen car. Good job.
i love those front door handle garnish and door trim.
Bro Bobby,i trusr every single word from u man...Saga really really underrated..it takes maybe 10 years for people to realize...
Loan approved now just waiting for the Silver Premium S to arrive hopefully this month.
Agreed with the goodnesses. Just hope Proton can change the external design to be like CLA kind of looks. 😜😁
Saga is one of the best all rounder entry level car. Only downside to me is the ugly rear lamps. Its much better than that horrible bezza that has tin can feel when you ride inside. Most ppl buy bezza for the 10-15% better fuel economy but lose out in eveything else. But it is so silly as the bezza cost on average rm5k more than the saga, which it can only recover back after 250k km (12 years ) of travel at today's petrol prices and you have to pay all this cost upfront with interest on the bezza.
Indeed. Plus, the big boot space is completely unnecessary unless got big family and in this case, bought wrong type of car.
250k km to recover really does make a good point. well pointed.
I was surprised but delighted to see you test driving a proton as you are more often seen reviewing high-end premium & luxury cars. Keep up the good work!
its weird when Bobby laugh make you feel even more confident about the car.
Proton handling is better and they put alot of effort on the improvement. it's was really surprising when i go into a showroom and look at the demo car [X50]. I booked via online before went to the showroom. Few months later i test drive the Saga. It's a good car. Better than my NCP93 with Michelin / Bridgestone Potenza x8x tyre also loose control easily. Even with Potenza RE003 is just a little slightly better. Been saw alot video of NCP93 suddenly loose control, people commenting cheap tyres poor skills. The handling is totally suxk
Nothing but positive review. Good job to Proton in up their game, this gives the competitors a little push. Healthy competition in the market.
The car is great...but the aftersales maybe need more improvement.
yess its handling is superb... on NS highway 170 doing hairpins like no problem
I am still using Proton vehicle since it was first released.
Maybe another purchase next year.
Well done Proton
U r super enjoy in a Saga ride, well done
for the price it really show good and sturdy the quality proton give for consumer. they know what people needs.
Nice review bobby...
The slot below the USB, would be nicer if it has a slight slop down forward.
you got my respect! truly car man
It's so brilliant I haven't seen one in the US
Thx for your review..im so proud as a saga premium owner😂
Hi everyone! I’m considering getting one of these, do u guys recommend auto or manual version? I’ve test drived the auto version and unfortunately the showroom doesn’t have a manual one available for test drive. I’ve heard that the shifter ergonomics are suboptimal in the saga, is it the case?
Happy to see you in an affordable car
Proton (or is it Geely?) has been slowly but surely improving the Saga. I've got the 2018 and 2020 models and to date, no regrets.
More like the company is now "Sendirian Berhad", government won't help anymore,It's either swim or sink. So the shareholders decided they gotta swim harder to compete in Malaysian market.
What to do?
I was going 120 in lipis -raub road .then this car overtake me. then i follow goes up to 140 on straight. I was like wow Saga look solid on bents and corners above 100.
I was surprised im able to barrel down karak 160-170
@@BobbyAngmalaysia holy crap. Take care Bobby. I still want to continue watching your videos 🤣
HI Bobby,
i owned Saga premium 2020 model.
issues found which really annoying:
1. headunit always restart
2. aircond cut-off too loud, vibrates whole car
3. brake pedal too deep
.. did u experience any of these from Saga 2022?
thanks
Is the 4at sensor doing good,,? the previous one is bad when your driving behavior is bad
Thanks to Najib for his vision to modernise Proton. 😁
bobby handling + Lotus handling = enjoyable
Looks like you really enjoying the car performance. It's like you are driving a sport car and expensive car.
A bit better then my 2019 saga because of push start button.so damnn jealouse laa with this new one
Now what this car needs is a 5MT with all the bells and whistle. Yeah i know sales of 5MT is really really bad, but i really hope that it would be an option.
thank you bobby for this in-depth review. not sure if you remember but i was the one asking about the saga in your last ama. totally sold to get a saga now. only problem is the booking as ive waited almost four months for my order!
Long waiting time is normal now bc of all this chip/part shortage in automotive industry. Especially car with a lot of demand like saga/bezza/myvi etc. I heard bezza also about 4-6 month. Even hrv with less demand need to wait 12 month.
My office mate...6 month and still waiting for her...bezza...
this video makes me wanna get a Saga
If it have 1.6L variant. I definitely will buy it.
you would be the only one I know to compare a Saga with a Lexus and Merc and I would go "you're right!"
The horn beeps is when you close all the doors with the key fob inside your pocket.
apart from outdated design and after sales issues, Proton are gem of drivivng range cars in lower price point, recently had chance to drive new Iriz the car was so well planted the chassis was so comfortable and feels confidents too, literally similar to the driving experience of yaris, only downside their qc, p.s I have noticed the reverse camera on par with 100k japanese cars
To me, the design still holds up till this day
It's just the halogen headlights that makes the car looks outdated a little bit
But there's already lots of aftermarket led headlights out there, ofc gotta pick the high quality ones
And if there's led for the taillights, that'd be cool too
@@randomdude1250 The red accent in the interior make the car cheaper
@@elbowstancenow1519 it does not look cheap to me, but I would prefer it more if the red accents are done in glossy finishings
@@randomdude1250 the new Iriz already come with led headlight
@@truthurts704 I love the Iriz and if my budget could reach the B segment market, I'd definitely go for the Iriz
SAGA FL really give me bad bad impression, but current saga really good, price is also reasonable compare to last time i bought 46k!
Sales figures tell..
It is really a nice car for driver and passenger..
Hi Bobby ,I sold my Alza and bought the new Proton Saga ,yes very comfortable great handling, I got the Standard version,, if I knew you were testing this I would have joined 🤣
D
Hi there, did u get the mt or the at version?
Bobby, I managed to get a Premium Spec as Premium S has longer waiting period. Handling indeed better than my older Almera and NVH is okay. The thing that I would have to deny is the build quality 😞. My car full of rattling sounds ( at traffic lights, while turning and even reversing). Wiper starts wabble when used and most noticeable thing is the power lag and weaknesses during going up slope. Reported it to Jelita Menawan Service Butterworth,hope they can fix it.
They should fix it.
Bobby,just sharing. Service centre claim this is standard across all new Saga MC2. As they changed CVT to 4AT. I told them to lodge official complain to HQ as all the time the car in D...it would have loud vibration noise. What a letdown in quality by proton.
Bobby, i think you shall get a saga and modify it to the maximum, you can do a series with it 😊
83k viewers within a week. I think it's time to consider more reviews for this segment of cars to boost your channel
i seldom do thinks that fish viewers and subscribers. i just do full reviews and honest reviews for people who are interested in buying the cars. :)
The interior dashboard drawer also got sound. Any idea to solve its. Send to SC same repeatedly a bit sound so.
Nice drive bro and how much tyre's air for front and rear wheels pls...?
I dunno
Imagine Proton Apply This Ride And Handling To Proton X70 And Proton X50. It Would Be Amazing Drive🤩
I'm not gonna lie. It is a good stuff. My brother had one exactly like yours. I came from persona elegance and him too. I'm currently drive the new alza due to eev and stuff 😅
How does it compare to the 2022 Persona?
But cannot see the traffic light being the first car at the stop, if you are more than 5'9" 😅
Just bought one.
I just bought a 2011. Runs great. Cant find out too much about the engine, 1.3
The strut bar is what surprises me...
Kudos Proton🤗. Thanks Bobby👍.
But that alarm beeps tho, I hope there's a setting to turn it off. Proton should use like buzzer for the beeps instead of that awful horn.
Bro will there be any new proton saga by the end of this year?
Sir caj do review for toyota mark x grx 120/130?
Another good thing about saga premium s is reversed camera , damn bright in night
i think this car can go up to 700k km , because my friend did 640k km in saga blm 2008 ( one top overhaul, no gearbox repair)
Ini barulah kereta rakyat!!!
I'm waiting this saga as my first car!..
Agree. With Saga corner handling is much much better than its nearest rival, Bezza.
We had 2 Saga's in our family, the 1st is 2017 models with CVT gearbox and the 2nd a 2021 models with 4 AT gearbox and a screen radio. Both handles well and my only complaint for both car are the headlight are not well lit at night.
Just change the bulb to osram nightbreaker. The price is around 70rgt. Should solve your issue..I changed mine in 2019 and so far no sight isssue driving on the dark road.
@@joylabu9593 halogen or LED light?

When Bobby said is Good, it definitely a Good Car :)
Hey Bobby, what's your comment on the Atlas tyre fitted on this car?
Budget tyres ... If can ... Change something else once they wear out
I'm getting one soon !!!!
Fair review, make me want to own one for fun
Really hoping for proton to make a replacement for satria..there a niche market for 2 doors hatchback car..please hear us out proton
