Yes. Im still using this car. I change the rim to 16inch and the micheline pilot sport, change full exhaust piping ( 4 -2 -1 )... The handling is really superb but.... 1 cons: small petrol tank.

It just shows that the driver actually matters most. You can give even a Flinstone car to uncle Khong and he will show you he can drive it like a Ferrari😆
Still driving this car, 9 years + and running strong. I really satisfied with the 1.6 engines, hills, overtaking, accelerating with no hassle. Myvi also no problem. I drove 1.3 version once, and really felt the lack of power.
Unker, the loud sound came from engine, CTV transmission or the rear exhaust? Anyhow, unker if possible ,, try test those old model Proton Suprima or old Ford Focus Diesel engine

@@YSKhongDriving uncle please get hold of the preve or suprima..ive personally driven it up n down genting handling was excellent n the cvt makes climbing a breeze too..i would like to know Uncle's opinion on it too 😂
Far more better than perodua cars because most of proton cars came with big brake disc that will cun2 for their standard size of rim. I've been in my cousin & friends that using bezza and all of their brake will vibrate if push hard becuse their disc already bengkok. Cannot withstand with harsh driving @ long journey. My cousin that using bezza 2018 have a bengkok brake disc after naik kimanis 1 kali 🤣 the car was still new back then

Hi Uncle Khong. Would you like to test out my BMW 318i 2017 1500CC 3cylinders 130bhp 220nm ? Many people complained about 3 cylinders car shakes and kinda look down 318i when they know it’s only 3 cylinders. Do you mind to prove them wrong ? Telling them that it’s still an ultimate driving machine because it’s a BMW ! Not a cheap plug lansi BMW.
own a saga flx before, despite the low power which u can expect, i would say the handling is quite enjoyable, do u agree uncle?btw big fans of your..hehe
The horrible CVT droning sound will be really tiring if driven aggressively all the way up to Genting. CVT will definitely be a deal breaker in any car purchase! 🤷♂️🤦♂️
It's just Proton's application of CVT was poorly executed. Poor calibration, noisy, inefficient, questionable reliability, etc. Meanwhile, nobody seems to be complaining much about CVTs used by Toyota and Honda. As with any forms of transmission, there will be good ones and also bad.
@@germaineliew2012 CVTs tend to sap the life out of engines and throttle reactions are just horrendous, hence we seldom see carmakers apply these gearboxes in performance oriented models.
Brake fade. When u feel it isnt biting well, that means the brake is hot. The fluid isnt clamping the caliper well when it is hot. So u need to go slower to let it cool down for a few minutes.
Thank you. Yes, the above is the explanation. When the brales cannot tranager the heat to tue atmosphere fast enough, the brakes become spongey and does not bite. That was wjy I slowed down a little to cool the brakes down.
Saga FLX front disc brake tends to get hot quite fast, probably that's why Saga 2019 get the front disc n rear drum replaced with bigger one from Iriz/Persona
Because the lowest trim for saga flx use 13" rim. So they need to put disk brake equivalent to 13". Same like saga vvt 1st gen. For saga mc1 & mc2, they using bigger disc brake since the lowest trim using 14" rim
Is the car has been fitted with open pod intake ? Or the cvt gearbox makes the engine produce loud noise ? But it sound like a combination of open pod and cvt sounds
@@YSKhongDriving aite uncle 🙏 thanks for the info , really admire the way u drive cars and the audacity u have to drive entry level cars to the limits 🙏🙏 salute

When uncle Khong is driving, the car instantly get 50 more horsepower 🤣🤣
Yes more horsepower maybe 100
Agreed. Imagine if hes driving a manual Saga🤭🤭
Saga FLX 1.6 was dream car back then for me. Especially the red color FLX SE 1.6. Nice to see YSK drive this car.
I was actually surprised uncle YS tested the Saga and to see it dance through all the corners really amazed me. Nice one uncle!
Kalau ada nmpk kereta naik genting dgn laju, tu uncle ys khong yg bwk
Im driving this car too. Still powerful and reliable.
Love this car.. comfortable,save fuel and powerful... iafm kick like VTEC besar...
Compare to the Saga VVT .... I loved this one! Brings back old memory
I have one saga 1.6 se love their engine sound. I got new car now but still loving to drive it on weekend.
Mine is Saga FLX 1.3 only and I have driven up Genting many times. It's 12 years old and the power is still there.

Finally.. i love this saga flx .
Nice Mr. Khong, I do not normally see a Proton Saga overlapping all other cars.
Dh tngok saga.. tringin pulak nk tngk suprima S.. real pnye lotus handling
"this car still in 1 piece"

🤔 I was quite impressed to see a Proton pass both trucks and motorbikes 👍🏻
Bukan hanya faktor kenderaan, tetapi cara & teknik pemanduan juga menggerakkan sesebuah kenderaan.
Betul!
Yes. Im still using this car. I change the rim to 16inch and the micheline pilot sport, change full exhaust piping ( 4 -2 -1 )...

Love to see this video. Manual version would be nice.
Finally can see the 1.6 saga.its rare to see saga flx hilll climb😂
I'm amazed that CVT didn't overheat when climbing Genting using the L gear.
I thought that CVT is known to overheat easily
Our climb was around 3 minites only, then we went downhill, so it was ok. Besides the temperature is cooler on the mountain and it was morning.
This video certainly brings back lots of college days memories 😎
True, many young boys start with a Saga.

Its a shame the 1.6 does not come with a manual. The 1.3(M) is very enjoyable up Genting. Imagine what a 1.6(M) will handle like.

Yes, the handling is good. Agree on the power too.

Yes, it is essentially a van. A very well appointed one, no doubt but it is still a van.
Uncle Khong, do you use L gear mostly when climb the hill? How many km/h can go in L gear? The engine didn't overheat?
In L, I have tried it as high as 140
140 km/h? Wow!
Well, L in a CVT is different from L in 4AT.
How is the characteristics for both？
Please review saga blm iafm 1.6 manual. This one is limited edition release
P. S : Iafm is fun when it open around 4k rpm 😁
Uncle, have u test the fiesta ecoboost for hill climb ? I Think it will put a smile on your face with that tiny 1.0 turbo ! 🥶😜😍
I drove it a few years ago, but only for a short stint, not enough to get excited.

Cool driving, even it manage to overtake a Satria Neo haha......
superb uncle...i own this car but cant drive like u..ha3
No worries, you can learn. After all I probably have more years on the job than you have, hahaha.

The overall performance is about the same but I personally prefer 4AT: 5 or 6AT is better or manual.
may I know what center bullet and extractor are suitable for this?
I have no idea.
Maybe this is a most affordable car with 2nd price for new born licence driver to get a first buying car
Driving cvt with loud exhaust dont have any feel/music on it. Really miss having manual car. Haha
What we need is a good small manual like the Putra or Satria GTi.
