i plan to get a savvy lite . But just concern if getting a savvy with 33,459 is better ot viva 1.0 manual 37,200 is better ?

kind of strugling with both . Of cos i wan to get something cheap and good .

both savvy lite and viva 1.0 manual have pros and cons .

anyone can giv the idea ? comparison ?

why don't u go for savvy medium?? RM36k++ for 1.2 manual
better spec,bigger engine cap.

but i tried savvy , the seating seems small . and i am quite big in size ...

36 k can also get viva 1.0 manual d right ? althought is smaller engine .. that is why so confuse .

nothing to be confused about, the Savvy is a much better buy than the Viva.

There is a great difference of the sound made by Savvy's engine and racing engine.

savvy is wider than viva, it seems small becoz of roof height
u r big in size and heavy???
then get savvy lorr (power n better torque).. otherwise we will regret when u drive viva go to uphill /genting ..

i dont think that u will find a problem sitting in the savvy. im 178cm and i dont find any problem sitting and driving in it.

And u mention that u are big in size so savvy 1.2l engine should be better than viva 1l engine. That extra grunt will help u move faster and also when u carry a lot of passenger

Savvy clutch so hard
I drove one of my colleague's and the engine rev so hard until 3k rpm then the car moving

You've got to get use to it bro. Same goes to other car around =D

iziit savvy cluth hard ? i never try b4 ...
front seat is ok for savvy , but just behind got little squeeze .
haha.
my budget also include 1.0 viva manual . just scare it no power .

my auntie's savvy is very hard to start.....even when the engine is still warm.....i mean after a few minutes turn off......why a...?
starter problem....is it...?

Few problems i heard from others for savvy

1. Clutch is hard
2. Sterring hard also.
3. Power took of slow due to drive by wire for accelerate pedal.
4. Engine hard to start even is new one

Above is true ? Any savvy driver can give comment on this ?

This prob has been rectified.
just send ur auntie's car to SC, ask them to change the TDC /speed sensor --no charge u if still under warranty) and cleanup the throttle body

how many years of warranty given by proton to savvy ? any savvy driver can update on their savvy warranty ?

Savvy 2 years warranty. Pay extra RM2xx for another 3 years warranty. So 2+3= 5 years.

Added on October 25, 2007, 4:08 pmFriend...dun buy Viva..serious...if u wanna buy P2, buy Myvi 1.3. Viva drives like a motorbike with 4 wheels due to it's 3 cylinder engine. This is an inherent 3-cyclinder engine characteristic.

1. Cluth is hard....i think some older models are harder. The new FL are not so hard. I've tested the old model before and they're harder than the new FL model. Anyway, once u get use to it, no problem.

2. Steering is not hard...try VIVA 850/660...THAT IS HARD!!! It is different from typical electrical power steering...it uses hydraulic steering....furthermore, with the handling ability of the Savvy, fitting a loose steering like VIVA will be a mismatch. You'll feel a lot of control.

3. You press harder than faster lor...ha-ha..(eat more petrol!). Anyway it has pros and cons. The engine doesn't die so easily even if u change gear at low speed...and i believe the final torque will be better due to the bigger engine size (compared to VIVA).

4. Huh? Got such thing meh? No such thing ler!!


btw, i suggest u buy Standard Savvy..only 37K+...Savvy lite apa pun tadak...unless u dun mind manual window and prefer to install ur own alarms, alloy rims, etc.... but remember, u might have warranty problem later if the 3rd party dun install properly and causes problem (Proton can blame 3rd party if problem arise).
