From The Experts

Perodua Myvi
Since the Perodua Myvi has been positioned as a premium hatchback for large families, the manufacturer has made sure that space is quite ample inside the car. The Myvi feels incredibly spacious for a car of this size and segment, with the rear seat in the cabin being as spacious as one would expect from that of an entry-level sedan. At the same time, the flexible seating configurations too prove quite helpful in carrying extra luggage.
Despite being powered by quite powerful 1.3-litre petrol and 1.5-litre petrol engines, the Myvi is very fuel efficient by segment standards. While the 1.3-litre petrol delivers 21.1kmpl, the 1.5-litre petrol is capable of returning a maximum fuel economy of 20.1kmpl, thus making the Perodua Myvi the most fuel-efficient premium hatchback in the market right now.
Proton Saga
The Proton Saga is fairly big for a car of its price. The overall length and width of the car feel as big as a car from one segment above, giving it a feel of driving a bigger car.
The bigger dimension of the Proton Saga on the outside clearly makes one feel pampered on the inside as well. The space levels inside the cabin are quite massive, with very impressive legroom and knee room at the rear.
Apart from the space, another area which makes the inner occupants of the car feel comfortable is the plush ride quality. The suspension setup is on the softer side, which is comfortable for long drives as well.
Perodua Myvi
While the Perodua Myvi is positioned as a premium hatchback, the overall styling of the car doesn’t suggest so. The Myvi looks a bit bland by today’s high standards set by other cars in the same space, which makes it look quite dated and uninspiring as well.
While the Myvi is powered by decently powerful petrol engine options, the driveability of the car is not as engaging as one would expect it to be. The suspension and steering setup are too soft for one’s liking, which is quite playful in city traffic conditions, but then, they do not inspire much of confidence and thrill, especially for those enthusiasts who love driving.
Proton Saga
Going by the exterior looks, it is very clear that the Proton Saga is not a car from today’s generation. While the low slung stance makes it feel dynamic, the overall boxy profile is clearly not trendy and might not appeal to the young generation at least.
Step inside the cabin and the dated feel of the car strengthens even more. The dashboard looks terribly dated and feels as if it belongs to two or three decades old.
For a car of this price, the Proton Saga lacks a number of comfort and convenience features which the buyers of today’s generation take for granted. The lack of a proper touch screen audio system itself is a turn off for many buyers.
