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 sad.gif

i finally got your point there. biggrin.gif at first i was thinking of something else laugh.gif

slide, it's drift-ish but less much less control. sliding the savvy is possible on wet roads, though most of the time resulting to under steering. on dry road however, the car is so stable and has lots of traction till it's very difficult to slide the car even with the help of handbrake.

so someone's stupid for thinking the car is F*&((*& ugly? wink.gif

IMO only the Savvy green and silver (AMT) versions look nice. even nicer with R3 bodykit.

The car of course is a total loss - off to scrap yard.Only the front glass is tempered or the others were removed already...that's why tint your windscreens is a good idea. Wear your seatbelts guys, it saves life.

This is one of the reason I fear of buying Proton, cheap plastic everywhere eventhough Gen2 Hi-line/Neo seems like a sweet deal.

i drove my bro's savvy MT

what i can comment is.. pickup a bit laggy, clutch a bit stiff, breaking too sensitive (got EBS???), looks cool with R3 kit, rock steady when speeding, engine sound not nice, good handling, roomy..

not dirty, it's the paint coming off, thus exposing the cheap plastic part.
