Advantages: Nice well balanced car. Compact, Good ride Disadvantages: too revvy sometimes
...Proton "launched for booking" its latest model, the new "SAGA" model, in late 2007. I was quite sceptical of the model as Proton's reputation at that time was not very rosy. Thus I decided to wait for the real car to arrive.
The car came to my local dealer mid 2008. Booked a test drive, and had to wait for a 2 weeks queu.
My first impression when entering the car on the driver's side was the seat is a la "real seat", not a la racing driver, prone postion. But it didn't feel too tall like an MPV or a SUV. There was also plenty of headroom.
The seat is height adjustable, as well as the back rest. These could be done easily via two easily reacheable levers. The seat covers felt soft and accomodating, without feeling too squishy. The steering height is also adjustable.

Advantages: Good taste and totally freshens mouth! Disadvantages: More expensive than other brands.

As with most tube toothpastes this comes in a cuboid box, within which is a squeezable tube with a flip top lid, which I must point out should really be closed after...
