in east malaysia, on our twisty 2 way 2 lane so called 'pan borneo highway', saga BLM 1.3 can easily tapau MMC waja. experienced it myself driving 140-150kmh with waja and still cant get close to it. cps waja even faster.
sadly, toyota's chasis are not built for this kinda roads. throughout my experience driving from kuching to miri numerous times, seen 2 1st gen vios, few corolla's, few hilux's crashed into the drain. mostly happened near curves. hardly seen other makes of cars crashed likethat. ironically most cars that is seen on these roads are proton and perodua's.
my daily drive is a corolla ae80 and i prefer not to drive at this kinda twisty, hilly rural roads. suspension is too stiff and unstable at high speed corners. i can say this car even lose to its rival, the 1st gen saga/iswara in terms of handling, roadholding, stability and top speed. to me toyota is just alright for urban and highway drives.
