proton savvy....i am using it
what i like bout savvy
1. jimat minyak ( my average FC is 14km/l eventho i always step on the gas pedal hard and this is mostly city driving)
2. handling....love it. very stable eventho i am speeding at 170kmh. very responsive in city driving.
3. speed.....as i said earlier, it can reach 170kmh and the steering still not so vibrate (my only mod is K&N drop in air filter)
4. AMT......the feeling of changing the gear on your own is the best and yet still can drive in auto mode...to drive in manual or auto, the choice is up to you coz amt has both
if i really going to change car later, these are what i'm going to miss the most from my savvy

cons:
i'll be very honest
1. problems...problems.....since mine is amt, got few problems such as sensor spoilt but i think the latest batch of savvy will not have much problems compared to earlier batch like mine. coz i think the latest one, the type of certain parts are difference alredy
2. the look? i think this is the matter of personal preferrence. as for me, i'm fine with the look and love it.

i can recommend Viva.. Viva 1.0 is the best so far..

why?

Saves almost everything..

the FC.. 24.5km/liter (based on the way u drive)..but as claimed by Perodua its suposed to be 18.7lkm/liter..

easy to maneuver

fun to drive

cheap for maintenance

spare parts easy to obtain

Savvy? i have tested once.. no offense.. the steering seems to be a bit stiff.. gearbox? dont even ask.. handling i can give it high scores.. but if u get a viva u need to tweak the system a bit.. (not more then 1k to spend.. basic mods)

moral of the story..

go for viva.. haha..!

i would rather drive a stiff but very stable steering during those high speed driving than a not so stiff but wobbling/swaying/not stable steering in the same condition....juz my 2 cents icon_rolleyes.gif
