Actually, 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.  thumbup.gif

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

Why don't Get "mumra the ever living" logo? At least More evil than Thundercats!! Hehehehe!!!! tongue.gif brows.gif

Mine will be grey too. thumbup.gif Saw one or two grey Savvy on the road recently. Very nice color.

But now a bit worried....Proton Savvy also burnt (check the other thread on this)....like Gen-2....haiyo...i thought only Campro can burn like that....*sigh*....better stock up a fire extinguisher in the car...sweat.gif

yeah, agree with you. But having a fire extinguisher in your car is not a bad idea at all smile.gif

Yep...those small fire extinguisher should be sufficient. Just remember to check expiry date and change it reqularly. It doesn't cost a lot. Last time saw some....where can i buy those things? Brothers shop got ar? Tomolo might go to Brother's at Kelana Jaya for shopping...smile.gif

aiya I've been traveling more than 40 000 km in my savvy - in extremely hot days and heavy rains, monsoon, any types of surface of roads from penang to JB to Terengganu and kelantan, climbed tricky mountain path to the peak of Gunung Brinchang in cameron Highlands, went up genting - clocked near 2000 km in less than a week many times, blazing thru strong cross winds at 90km/h(that time didn't know the almost great flood was about to start to hit johor, went back to east coast lucky not the other way round to BP my other half's hometown, using LPT instead of Segamat- really damn lucky that time last minute decision to go to KL, surprisingly that day KL was brite and shiny not raining - damn strong coast wind on the coastal roads, my savvy held fine against the wind, could see the coconut trees swayed to almost 90 degree bend...and I've done ghetto mods on my car, using pvc pipes as my intake piping, using cardboard wrapped with aluminum foil as my heatshield..

This is my 1st car - everyday I start the engine many times since Dec 2005. my main workhorse - and it doesn't burn or fail me so dun worry. The incident is sure isolated one. And i dun keep a fire extinguisher, maybe should get one.

I found a made in Italy mini fire extinguisher priced cheaper than a local made dry powder one...maybe the dry powder based extinguisher is more effective. Buy at least 2 bottles.

Personally i think adding the front bumper lips is kinda enough to make the car looks good. R3 is expensive!! haih no money for it...

Sorry for the late reply. my connection here very suxx. it's 3 am i guess now the line got better. i wish i could have to to go to TM point to make verbal complaints. anyway. sms i got is from a confused salesman from they way they say it. they say he didn't read the memo saying there's no discount for lite. so iguess lite is on the same price if not many ppl will get hurt badly. anyway that's all i got to say lo. ah free gift. wish i could oso ask for the same items you got there. anyway i heard savvy will reduce some more after gen2 sean came out. hmmmm

Yar-loh, doesn't makes sense. Just introduce new lite model and discount immediately?? Then they should have just sell it at 30K to begin with.

Anyway, i don't think there'll be price drop for Savvy Lite even after Persona came out. Only possible is that M-line and H-Line savvy will be sell for 3K cheaper as permanent price.

Next year, when BLM 1.3 came out, i suspect there'll be further drop for Savvy.

Anyway, it's good that the BLM 1.3 will be based on a modified Savvy platform. This could translate to common parts for both platform (except engine and gear). If BLM 1.3 sells decently, then there'll be more economy of scale for this platform, which in turns translate to cheaper parts, more 3rd party parts etc.

Looks like savvy will be here to stay for a while hopefully.

Damn...dunno how many more days i have to wait for my Savvy....yesterday went to Brothers in Kelana Jaya...wah...damn big the place...other than main HQ, there's also 2 branches of Brothers along the same road just for ICE and other stuff.

Too bad i can't find any Volkswagon logo emblem...only got thundercats and mitsubishi emblem...anyway, not enough time to really browse the place yesterday.

Guys, thinking of get Savvy M-Line seems like you said no discount on the l-line. and M-Line already have something on it~ and no rush to put additional things like Sound system, bodykits and etc. but then financially may not allow me to get the M-Line, so i am thinking of looking for Star news ~ ar~~ only 5-6 used savvy for sell, so if i want to buy the 2nd hand one, just need your all help ! what should i check for that 2nd hand one ??? Manual gear box. will have oil cell leak ?? or un smooth on the crash ? or any freaky sound come out from the engine ?? this just what i heard from the workshop sometime old car has such problem. if i can found a Savvy which is just overhall !ha~ then no need to worry too much lO~ hehe

I think a few things you'll need to do:
(1) Change to 14" rims. Old cars come with 15" rims which has some problem with the brakes due to some "freeplay" gap...don't ask me. I don't understand, but all new Savvy comes with 14" rims....that should tell you something.

(2) Check the ignition coil connector got broken/burnt or not. Maybe u need to go to SC and ask mechanic to do it..but careful...lots of mechanic dunno how to take out the ignition coil connector. Must twist and turn, cannot simply pull out. Some people reported the ignition coil problems ARE caused by incompetent mechanics who don't know how to pull the connector when changing spark plugs and broke the thing as a result.

(3) No AMT please.

(4) Standard stuff to check...engine oil leak, etc...ask ur mechanic.

(5) Test drive and check for jerkiness which could indicates ignition coil problem or throttle body dirty(which can be clean easily).

(6) Preferably get one with full SC service records.

I don't think anyone will wanna overhaul their Savvy since still new engine...2 years+....unless got serious problem....sweat.gif.

Gee....i sound like Savvy expert eventhough i dun even have the car yet....i hope i dun give wrong info.
