Pls calm down..just a slight misunderstanding..

Just done my 20k service!

only RM229!!! quite cheap considering the service interval is 20k.

needs only half day to complete the major service with thorough inspection checks...there's quite a lot of cars at SC thou today's weekday.

Now this is what Savvy's rear should looks like.

Yeah now that's NICE!!
Looks tougher doesnt it.

Thats better a lot without the stupid nose ..

wow that is one hell of a good mod to the rear... any more pictures???

Saw that car before on LDP around DU heading to BU. It seems nicer in picture than up close. Duno why.

My friend let me drive his Savvy AMT home. Pretty comfortable ride with low bucketseat-like seats and the handling was superb. I could never attacked such corners at such speed with my stock Myvi. Only thing lacking was the good torque and throttle response when compared to my usual manual car.

Quite a big difference from my manual Myvi. Very well experience gained.

just curious what is the conclusion from ur experience...Savvy better than Myvi??

Handling-wise, no doubt that Savvy pwns Myvi.
As for throttle performance, i cannot judge since Myvi is 1.3 and Savvy is just 1.2 while the Myvi that i own is a manual while my friend's Savvy is AMT, not manual.

As for exterior and interior design wise, i am on the Myvi side. So to me, its a win lose situation.


Go for a test-drive at showroom outlets, if you want to decide which suit you more.

Imagine the Savvy with a front and back like this... It'll be awesome!!!

Savvy AMT is a manual. clutchless-manual.

you still can gear-shift with AMT, just like a manual.

i'll be getting mine soon.

how much it gonna cost? can u quote me an estimate?

Well, Savvy is lighter, power to weight ratio, it has a big advantage over MYVI. Secondly, it is using a SOHC engine, it has better low end torque, city driving is excellent, cornering is good and firm. Interior sucks, I have to agree on that but sound system, Savvy is a tad better sounding than MYVI. I have driven both cars before but at the end of the day, Savvy is better than MYVI on the road, fuel consumption is good but MYVI will be more value for money, it has more features, better specs and more spacious too. To be honest, both cars are highly recommended for normal use, if you wanna lumba or anything, then go for Satria R3 or Gen 2 R3.

Got my bodykit voucher in the mail today will fix it this weekend...

If Proton were to have this rear a standard design. It certainly puts it on a same footing againts the Myvi. Savvy front looks really good in my opinion. Only its rear destroys its image. Imagine Brad Pitt without his teeth.

Hehehe...sorry la...I'm not doin business, it's juz my opinion...to have Proton to facelift the Savvy~

Maybe on the same footing as Kelisa, not MyVi since it's a class behind MyVi...but it'll surely increase sales numbers though!

Errr...... you should include Kenari and Kancil too. Savvy is definitely targetted at this bracket. Well, it's slightly a class behind MYVI but it's no slouch either, there are so plus points for having Savvy, I like its revvy engine. I drove my friend's Savvy for a short spin, I'll say, not bad for a car at this price, at least it's better than Satria Neo 1.3, it's worst than a kura-kura, even for the manual version, totally not responsive.

Hmmm...I think it's too short to be in Kenari's class, and too spacious and overpowered to be in Kancil's class...
It's targetted at Kelisa, Sutera, Suria, Picanto, etc.'s market...and I think it's the best of the lot! It's a better drive than the Kelisa, that's for sure!

I don't know about you, but you have to drive a real manual before you can say that.

From my experience, the delay from the AMT being compared to full manual with clutch is significant factor to me. So, "just like a manual", is what i can't agree with.


Its not like i didn't know what AMT stands for in the first place, furthermore i had actually driven one myself that night.


No offence to you.

AMT = Automated Manual Transmission
of course it's not same with manual trans, even with gear shifting abilities. even if we are skilled in handling pure manual transmission, we will not able to control the lag of the automated clutch still but AFAIK shifting AMT could result in perfect lag, which is not too delayed or too quick (whatever gear it is shifting to). but does savvy has the technology to adapt the driving traits of the pedaller?
also, does the gear controls the pace of the car (ie downhill, steady slow, bla bla)

*edit: added question, grammatical
