Dig up my posts..there's already thick steel impact beam behind the front and rear bumpers...other cars dun have this..definitely miles better than kangaroo bars if that's what you mean - damn soft.

Try to find out the info about major car makers also make least developed countries as their dumping ground for old models like Suzuki, Volkswagen etc..Proton at least sell Sagain Pakistan, blame not on Proton but the loopholes on the laws of theroadworthiness of the old modelcars in the country...Proton is being clever take advantageon that..Mitsubishi would be doing the same thing if they have monopoly in the local car market...some people conveniently forget Singapore allows airbagless cars on street and they have HPL for cars up to 10 years.


The last digits of my chassis no is 077XX, registered on Dec '05..so pretty sure there's more than 10k OTR to date..third party sellers do stock up low demand parts like the ignition coil pack with cables supposedly made in France, cheaper than sold at authorized Proton SCs, if they say they can't get the stock, they are lying...RM360 new price from Proton SC should be cheaper if getting outside.

Service price is not that bad. I've already ordered Amsoil ATM from Frankie you know who the online dealer...can't wait to feel the result of a synthetic oil for the first time.

Service interval
1k- RM40++ (1st service)
5k - RM70++ (oil changed outside with labour, the EON SC mati2 insist Mach 5 could last 10k, that time not confident, already went up genting at about 3k-5k km I dun remember.
10k - Rm80++
20k - RM200++ (labour is RM100, first time used Mach 5 till 10k km, oil filter, skipped air filter, spark plugs change, spark plug change interval is 40k km)
30k - RM200++ (labour RM100)
37k - RM80++ (oil+filter changed outside, felt sluggish)

Future estimate
40k - RM250 ++ (First time use fully synthetic oil, filter, spark plugs, stop sending to authorised SC)
45k - RM 100 (gear oil)
50k - RM190 ( oil, oil lfilter)
55k - RM450 ++ (timing belt kit, bearings, oil seal that could last 100k, labour)
60k - RM190 (oil, oil filter)
70k - RM450 (oil, oil filter, water pump, coolant flush)
80k - RM250 (oil, oil filter, spark plugs)
90k -Rm190 (oil, oil filter)
100k - RM 190 (oil, oil filter)

Extra RM1000 for any parts that need to changed if failed like clutch plate that cost near Rm300, brake oil etc.

Cool! I haven't made my final decision, as for me Savvy sure is in my consideration, and now i will go to for 2ndhand savvy !! wish i can get a valuable and god condition one. Consider about the size of the car, I am also thinking of MyVi, as i body figure is big big lo~ 176cm.and for sure that is i use savvy to fetch my cousin who is bigger size then me~ we are going to shake the savvy left and right man~~ ROLLING THE SAVVY ~

Acutally, Savvy is very steady...feels like driving big car...i'm about same height as you...this is not kancil ler friend, you can't shake a Savvy so easily.

The front seats are ok, but if you wanna fit 4 people of same height like you inside....then the two fellas behind will suffer lor. (Btw, i don't think this car is a 5 seater. Max 4 adults inside...if small sized ladies/kids maybe can squeeze 3 behind ler....but only for short journeys or really gonna suffer).

Both Myvi and Savvy are about same weight despite the size difference. (950kg - Savvy, Myvi - 9xxkg).

Hypermount: You're gonna change to full synthetic? I thought there's a thread in savoc.net saying not recommended to use full-synth for savvy?

I haven't decide what oil to use for Savvy yet...if use Mach 5, i'm also scared it can't last 10,000km...maybe semi-synth will be safer bet?

btw, chassis number indicates the # of cars produced? So 77xx, means there's 77xx cars already produced? Then i must check mine and see....

Sudah lite, discount lagi

Well, my dealer actually told me there's 20k to 30k Savvy on the road...i guess i didn't believe him...

But is the number in global total? What about export to UK/Singapore/Australia etc...those are account in this figure also??
hmm...

Let's wait for next week and see what's my number.

i'll call them 2morow.today credit wasted oledi. sorry bro. i asked that salesman to call me if that lite arrive at his showroom. I guess he's afraid of wasting one customer cos i want to buy savvy at sri damansara

Bro u gonna buy savvy lite??? white color looks kewl...

if i choose whitecolor. it may turn into akagi savvy white comet if black it may turn to nightkids group.just joking. i'll choose which one after i visit thier showroom tomorrow

get white color laa... black too common

Savvy lite white...door handles=black(unpainted)....errr...4 black spots on the car...not very nice...


Please update on the discount thingy...maybe salesman desperate and offer personal discount?

Actually Savvy is not all bad... I just don't like the look from outside. Proton should really take consumer cosmetic consideration first cause it is the consumer who gonna buy the car, not them. My friend drive savvy, and yup it's nice. Just outside is.... hehehe! But again, never judge a book by its cover, right guys?? ^__^ When can we see savvy and perodua make a gathering together as in Malaysia One team~!

About the discount thing right, i went the other day, the salesman said all savvy version got 3K discount meaning to say that 33K lite version and i can get it at 30K lo~

white savvy is nice.... pair with a set of gold wheels... it'll look awesome

Err~ Its not all the version, its just the Standard version (M-Line) has 3K discount.

Yes, I'm getting the AMSOIL ATM today, supposedly after checking the tracking no, RM160 for 3.8litres/4 quarts. Surprised with the POS Malaysia's efficiency, need only 1 day to arrive. Seller only sent the item yesterday. Man this is only normal parcel service, not Poslaju.

NO problem with Savvy using FS. Confirmed by Proton and Pomen on the street Savvy's not using Hydraulic tappets. Some said if the engine has hydraulic tappets, FS is not suitable, cos too thin will create much noise. BUT based on his experience, if you 've extended the mineral oil usage on a hydraulic tappet engine - you will risk damaging the engine..mineral oil has lower viscosity, they tend to thicken as temperature going up. There are many small space, cavities in hydraulic tappets where only FS could go enter and lubricate as their thickness would remain the same, they have higher rate of shear/viscosity.

Should not be a problem if wanna use FS on Savvy. Listen to the experienced people..always get the highest possible quality oil that you could afford if you wanna pamper your car.

EON got stock up some Syntium oil . You can ask them to use other oil other than Mach 5..10W/30 Mach 5 actually has good viscosity index rating - higher a bit then syntium 800 which is a semi..it's a good oil provided you do not rev ur car much...can it last 10k? I dunno..an used oil analysis would provided the definite answer.

Added on August 10, 2007, 12:58 pmThe chassis no is sandblasted on the rear windows, you can look up for it under the drvier's seat besides on ur registration sticker on the manual.

When is your savvy registered?

Sure boh?? I think he's blur also lah.....let me calll up a few dealers and see...

Added on August 10, 2007, 2:25 pmActually, i like the Savvy design (not because i'd bought one already...)...but the rear was ugly. So the new version got the V thing removed from the rear. Now it's much better.

But i want VolksWagon logo...not thundercat logo...
