My new baby!

Just collected my new baby on Thursday, which is the 15th of April.
Its a Proton Saga BLM! Color is "Granite Gray" and its a 1.3MT (manual transmission).
Loving it!

Baby Saga has arrived!
14", 185/60. Goodyear tires. The spare tire is of the same size too, unlike various cars nowadays which they give you bicycle-sized spare-tire!
Proton's Chrome logo. Cool~
Dashboard! Adjustable steering, nice looking speedometer/tachometer, and etc.
Air-conditioner is fantastic. At fan speed (the middle knob) 1 and it can freeze you at night without the air-cond knob (the left-most) turned to full!
Stock stereo with Clarion player is crystal clear, just like what I heard from my friend!
Woohoo~! Audi-like front look!
Woohoo again~! Mercedes C-class-like rear look!
You can notice it has quite a large boot space with just a glance. 55+ durians, they said?
Campro engine. Kinda loud an noisy but acceptable for me. I noticed that the front bonnet is very hot after driving, outside and inside. Let's hope its normal for Campro.
Finally, the full car view, parked outside my apartment at Malacca!
Overall, I like my new car. Everything is pretty great, except that I really do not like the switch-sided lights and wiper stick. Normally you access your signal stick at the right hand side but for Saga BLM, it is at the left side, like Proton Waja. Me no-likey, but I am just ranting.
The whole car is quite comfortable in terms of air-conditioner distribution, and while driving on highway the car feels quite stable too. Not that I have tested the car with speed more than 110 km/h yet, but its not bad. Even when you drive across the road humps and some minor potholes, it feels okay.
For now, I am just gonna leave the car as it is without any modification due to money constraint. In the future, I am gonna change the rims and add body-kits.
Gonna have to install the auto-door-locking system though just to be safe. There are a lot of accessories I wish to buy too but havent decide which to go for 1st. Arm-rest, heat-rest, etc.
One funny fact that I stumbled across the internet, Malaysian cares about their cars having airbag more than they care about the cars having ABS. ABS is anti-lock braking system, something you use everytime you drive, which prevents the wheels from locking up during emergency braking, and also improve your driving experience with better braking system. Airbag, on the other hand, is a one-time thing, something you will not even wish to have a chance to actually use it for real. Beats me.

Have to be a very very good boy from now on for the sake of my parents and my beloved family!
