the proton looks like a 20 years old car in this pic.

WHy?
Because of the colour quality and fuzziness?

buruk2.
dont simply copy-paste-cantum la.

no. just take a look at the citroen and now look at the proton. its like u have gone back 20 years. (exaggerating a bit here, ok 10 years)

This is becoming like that old "How Savvy should look like" thread.

as long as the car is savvy, still not going off topic.

Makes me wanna draw one.

IMO savvy has the most beautiful front. Especially at nignt, with the lamp on. Most agressive.

Btw the c1 pic was probably taken in controlled environment, with lighting setup etc. And the savvy pic quality was much lower. I scaled it up.

Yeah true.
Especially if it had Xenon.

the savvy front actually is not bad at all. but the rear is so screwed up. i like the sholder lines too.

last one, pmw.

now they are giving the r3 kit for all new savvy.....while stock last sommore....
too early to judge a savvy...

savvy + bmw 1 series?

Cannot la this one... like marrying a beauty and a beast and this is its offspring

could've been nicer if i have better Photoshop skill

i dont car how it peform, but the first thing i know is..


SAWI IS F@RKING UGLY!

THE REVIEW

Proton Savvy, a curious beast indeed.

For me, savvy is a step forward for proton. It has good handling and suspension, better plastic finishing(it's kinda hard though), quite high top speed and stronger body and chassis. This is also the first compact city car that Proton ever produce.

However, marketing wise Savvy is not a good move by Proton. The only reason to get a compact car such as Savvy is to drive short distances,normally in the city. However, their strength does not match their purpose. It's known weaknesses are slow build in speed (no accellaration), gear shift is a hassle, the engine is loud and fuel comsumption is so-so only compared to the competitors.

I dubbed the Savvy as curious because although it is supposed to be a compact city car, it has no strength whatsoever there. You would have to make lots of gear shift, accelleration and have to be economical to make it at the compact car segment. On the other hand, at open roads is where savvy thrives. It is steady even at high speeds, can negotiate corners very well and can handle the bumps and pothholes on the road.

Let's just hope that Proton keep all the high notes on savvy and improve their weaknesses (especially the high rev needed to power the Campro) in SRM24 a.k.a 'Neo' as their current strengths fits the bill very well in that segment of the car market.

p/s: Most UK and Aussie reviews praise the handling of the Savvy, however I found one UK review that complains that the Savvy is "too responsive to every turn i make". This just goes to show that you can never please everyone. It really comes down to personel preference.

The savvy is slow to build speed? in what sence? I've floored the savvy and reaching over 100km/h in less than 25-ish seconds everytime without fail. ofcourse, i was drag racing with that car on the highway, so gearshift is at above 4k rpm.
As for city driving wise, it's quite manageable since it's small and very responsive. however, the stiff clutch and gear stick may be a turn off for smaller, weaker-at-the-upper-body people and sometimes can be a nightmare during jams.
The only complaint is i cannot force this car to slide on dry road. >.<

You just demonstrated my point. It has power, but you really need to hit the pedal. Sebsequently when you hit the pedal like that the noise level would be high, which is not the ideal thing for city driving with all the noise pollution.
Again, however, it depends on the persons preference. Some people enjoy having to hit the pedal hard and the roar of the engine. Feels more macho. Some people whats a quite ride.
True! The gear is a nightmare during jams. Maybe you can solve this by buying the AMT version.Cost more money though

some ppl need to learn how to shut up
