Opinion on Proton Savvy

[shenzoku]

Hi guys,

I'm planning to get a car and Proton Savvy caught my eye, just need some opinion from you guys what u think bout savvy? Especially Savvy owners, this car kacau a not? Is the maintainence high?

I don't get a chance to test drive a savvy because most of the Proton dealer do not have Savvy in their outlets now.

Appreciate if u guys reply.. THANKS. =)

mind you do not get the amt version

Dont have a savvy but jsut my opinion:

1) From outside savvy looks good, really sleek design, tail light also really nice design.
2) Looks small and cramp but when i ask people they say its spacious and comfy.
3) Performance wise, it does its job .
4) After market merchandise also not bad for savvy.

if within budget, Get a neo bro :D hahahah

Andrew,
Why not an AMT? i thought AMT is the unique part of a Savvy?

StarKiller
Neo is too much from my budget, and i'm getting a car for city drive, for working purpose only.. i heard that Savvy fuel consumption is good. Thus recently i went tru the net seems like no one complains bout Savvy. That's i'm surveying to get more opinion bout this car. Thanks for ur opinion anyway.. Cheers.

hahah i see i see, its all good man no problems, happy to give opinions. Hey how about getting a myvi, much more spacious and fuel consumption wise very good, or a swift. Cause savvy seems abit small to me.

 

[andrew_lsp]

cause savvy is using hydraulic actuation visit proton service center you will know what i mean
i cant tell much here

 

[DanzEterna]

just increase slightly on your mthly budget & get a myvi for long term,
u wont regret bro......few of my frens was using savvy few years ago, now most of them upgraded to myvi or persona......

 

[shenzoku]

Andrew.. can you Pm me bout the issue? thanks! appreciate if you do so.

Danz, Star,
I know comparatively Myvi will be better.. but the price for second hand is like double up. Savvy get around RM15k, but Myvi required around RM30k if not mistaken when i went tru motor trader last night.
Danz, what did your friends complained bout Savvy? mind sharing? thanks..

 

[har1th7]

bro... save some and get a neo instead ... if not later u'll regret one...

but if not possible and still want a savvy, just the savvy lite manual, thats is the cheapest one...

*stay away from AMT... that tech is need time get used to (same as Selespeed, SMG) ...

*stay away from viva (tin milo)...

bro..we all know myvi would have higher resale value....alot of ppl are very sceptical towards savvy cos they might scared the same thing might happen like the tiara, it depends wat are u looking for?
are u studying or working? u just need a car to go from point a to point b or wat?

 

[shenzoku]

Danz,
I just started working, that's y is not i dun wan to buy myvi but restrain from it.
Kinda just looking for a car from point A to B where maintenance and FC is low.. that's all. =)

LOL! I AGREE! VIVA TIN MILO :p . Bro all the best in getting a savvy!

 

[shenzoku]

Viva like milo tin? very bad in sound proof?
Star, i need more opinion from others regarding to this car before i decide.. zzz..
thanks anyway. =)

 

[DanzEterna]

y viva tin milo?
its a good & reliable car ma........

 

[wira4g13p]

yap..viva tin milo...fc also quiet high went goes to long distance..1.0 ez..hehehehehe..

 

[shenzoku]

btw any savvy owner here?
what's the FC for savvy ah?
and does savvy engine as noisy as waja?

 

[arturo]

1 of my colleague owns a savvy...manual.he's happy with it...but if given a choice, he wouldnt buy it again. handling is good...the advert about it's body being solid is quite true. FC is not bad. he has been having problems with it's electronics tho. says been in and out of SC a few times but the problem still there. other owners may not have this problem cos like all protons...oni the nite shift cars suffer from these recurring problems

my suggestion? get a viva instead. ur not particular about looks n all and oni care about FC n getting from point A to point B so get the best cheap new car that will last u at least 5-9 years with minimal maintanance and then after that decide whether to sell off n change car or use it as rough use car la...

 

[shenzoku]

thanks arturo,
but because i need to travel from place to place often. Most of the time I'm require to travel from KL to Klang, and those reply they mention viva in long distant drive FC isn't that good.
Anyone could give me a specific fc rate between Viva and Savvy?
sorry for requesting so much.. hehe

 

[EvolutionZ]

bro,
get a saga blm instead..price from rm36500 to rm44998...few variants and economical too..more spacious and its a saloon car....

 

[biggie]

I own a Savvy currently at 105,469km and still going strong. Infact I test drive many cars to replace Savvy but nothing come close to it.

Viva - tin kosong
MyVi - Like a boat
Swift - Quite as good as Savvy but price wise not so good
i10 - Nice, but look weird
Picanto - Slightly better then Viva but not anywhere near a Savvy

Savvy manual, also got problem as this is using clio engine so Problem with a clio also probelm here. Ignition coil (change twice), speed sensor (change once).
