My friend's Savvy also have this same kind of problem...

His car is already near to 2 years old..but only managed to clock 305++ kilometres..

Every morning when i wanted to start the car, it took me around 2-3 times turning the key till the engine starts..I have off everything (a/c, radio)..and it also jerks @ 2nd gear if speed below 20km/h..

And just now when i parked the car b4 playing football, i noticed that the a/c fan didn't stop even though i have off everything...it took almost 5-7 minutes for the fan to switch off..any reason why this happen??

fyi, the car has undergone a major 'surgery' bcoz the engine jammed..my friend seldom uses his car, only drives it on weekend..and he never warm the engine every morning so the engine oil become so thick...Went for repair @ his friend w/shop to replace the cable plug, spark plug and cam..cost him around RM700 The cable plug itself cost around RM450

heard the fan thing is normal, will still spin after the engine has stopped, some cooling function i believe ...

correct me if i am wrong ...

Also forgot to mention, CITY is what...40K more expensive??

Let's see, that means you save 1cents per km with City over Savvy( 7cents/km to 8 cents/km)...say u travel 25,000km a year..that makes..25,000 x 1 cents=RM250/year. So, say you use the car for 10 years...that saves you a grand total of RM2500...in 10 YEARS.

If you put 40k in bank at 3% interest per annum, by the end of 10 years, you get RM52,190.

Err...which option do you think is more $$$ saving?

Not that i'm saying Honda City is bad...but comparing this too is just way out of league. Of course, if you're going to buy a car in almost same price range as Honda City ( say a Waja at 6xk, or a VIOS around the same price), then the FC saving of the City will plays a very important factor.(btw, i do like the City very much....in fact, much more than a VIOS or all the Proton Sedans).

Anyway, unless you're a frequent highway traveller, the savings is also much less...I don't see any real Savvy owners can even achieve close to those figures. So far my Savvy is around 14km/l...which i consider quite good for city driving already....hopefully it'll improve after a few more thousand km as the car is still new.

spot on, what the point of buy a car that 40k pricier just to save fuel
it does not make any sense

well.... sounds like that is his fault. the battery is not recharged properly because it's only heat up for like a few minutes, and the mechanical parts weren't moving enough to get lubrication. and remember savvy is drive-by-wire. the engine behaviour depends on the driving style (throttle, etc...)
i don't recall if my sis' Savvy behaved like that.

2 years and never go to 1000km service?

I was juz answering a question... 
If I can afford a 80K car, do u think I'll still care about the FC???

although I am not a supporter of MAS, I don't think this is theright kind of bashing for it. I use to travel a lot, and mostly using MAS. I have been stranded in Istanbul/ Zurich/Dubai/KLIA and I got the same treatment from MAS. For KLIA, they give me Concorde Inn. I also stranded using other airlines, and the treatment given is the same, even with Biman (Bangladesh Airlines).

And I travel on economy.

Congrats on your Savvy, mine reaching 53K, and another 7K to go before timing belt replacement.

matrix, i had declined to take savvy cause of a bad SA. I changed to MyVi instead. but they just gave me rm150 tinted coupons. no other.

bro matrix, how's your savvy? any -?

Negative man, negative.

Already stated the problems lor...no need repeat and repeat. Basically ok except for the sound thingy which dunno come from where...but it's not a major problem. The rear right door still hard to close even after SA fix it....and i'm still not happy with the petrol cover which is very hard to open even after they lubricate it (WD-40 again???...I think they just wallop and lubricate everything), but better than before.

Do you guys have hard to open petrol cover?? It really sucks such a simple thing can't do properly...maybe need to change the cap altogether??

Oh yeah...the fuel meter is weird...very hard to read.....1st bar can last 4km....last 2 bar will blink immediately and left 1 bar very soon...usually pump full tank only 25litres!!

So far latest fc is 14.xx km/l (i hope i calculate right), which is a bit better than my Myvi at 13.xx km/l (100% city driving).

that what i wanna hear bro. cause my friend want to buy savvy. he tends to know what current savvy users encountered

PM me to get my SA contact if u want. I'm sure he'll be able to explain everything in detail. 

What other cars ur friend considering?? Just psyche him to buy a Savvy and stay away from Viva...    
btw, share another story. Called up Proton-i-don't-really-care again to complain about SC advisor telling me grandma story that Using semi-synth oil will void warranty for my Savvy...it turns out the I-care girl on the line also drives a savvy and she says she uses semi-synth oil! Ha-ha! Anyway, she say she contact the SC centre to clarify and call me back....let's see whether they're doing anything this time....

Waoh!Like that means i will use semi-syn for my 1st service this coming thursday.They asked u to use fully-syn during 1st service?
