i have a savy...i had driven almost all proton cars before and personally i think savy is still the best! it pick up slow but i feel steady and safe when moving fast at corners etc!

I dun blif PROTON only. To me although savvy sounds better than hafei lobo, but still not a good choice at that price.. If it's priced at RM20k then i buy lar. Wira RM15k, saga RM8K, their quality make them worth that price only, and that should be the price IF (no chance one unless proton shut down) import duty (including excise duty) is taken away.

hmmmm... actually how much is the savvy now? btw how is that handling of that car?

My father tested it, the ride was neither firm or too soft.
The handling was pretty decent, allowing a decent amount of agression.

guess it's due to the Lotus tuned? the tires look pretty small for it isnt it? have you seen the R3?

The tyres 'look' thin. They're 195s aren't they?
I haven't seen the R3 in real life.

EDIT: My mistake, they're 175s. That's pretty decent for 15 inch rims.

ok.. much better than the Myvi.... the tyres are so skinny....i wonder what will happen if the car turns to fast

i've seen it twice on the road already and also a promo of eneos mod cars in 1U a month ago.

*sorry i dont know how to spell that company's name*

Lower the ground clearence a bit and reduce some weight, you'll have no probs!

I guess many of you are missing the point. The main grudge against that review is the dangerous way they carried out the review. So farking what if savvy can hit 170km/h? My waja and Gti can do that easily too. So can any car, given the right conditions. And the highway is not your place to do such tests.

RM150 is all you need to take it down to the track, and in real life nobody carries the car to that kind of speed all the time. Imaging the wear and tear involved! Real cars need good torque, one that the savvy is lacking. Also, the quality issues have not been addressed.

No matter what they say, its not really an honest review. More like an ignorant review.

Again you're missing the point. Myvi is made for the people, the people who drive it from point A to B and rely on the warrenties for repairs. They need a reliable car that is comfortable and fuel economic, especially the latter which is the whole reason for compact car's existence. The savvy is meant to be a zippy and fun car, and thus to say the savvy is much better than Myvi just because its good in handling is like saying a wrestler can be a president of a country just because he got big muscles and is stronger than the next candidate.

In terms of handling, savvy pwns myvi. But then, will that sell cars? Alfa romeo learnt that the hard way. In the real world, quality, reliability, comfort come first. Proton needs sales figures, not fun cars that dont meet the market's demands.

haha! yea potong spring

Ever driven a GTi or a Perdana?

And see the car bounce like a ship in treacherous seas.

The Perdana have a very generous accelaration.

haha.... but kinda funny le if one does lowers the height of the car.... it's so big and tall and fat......

mmm...not fair to compare to much pricier car!,,

again ... p1 wont be able to satisfy everyone .... at least we have a choice .... need space ... buy myvi .... need fun ... buys savvy .... why do you need 2 of the same ??? more difficult choice .... but dont expext to have saga at 8k .... yes you can la if buy 2 half of kerete potong then sambung .....

need space ? buy city
need fun ? buy civic

that will be better right ?
way less QC problem to worry about...

please re-read the above posts.

kimmie was saying that he/she tested all Proton cars and thinks Savvy is thebest.

so soggies asked whether he/she tested GTi / Perdana.

IMO Satria GTi and Perdana V6 would be Proton's best offering so far.

yes ........ agreeeeeeeee with kcng
