Hmmm....almost any power window is better than a Wira, Saga....even Gen2 and Waja have lots of power window complaints as well.

My old 2nd hand Nissan 130Y...power window never fail 10 years plus. Old Kia Sephia...7 years+, power windows tip top and never failed.....

Hopefully, Savvy's pw is okay. And Nel, i won't bother to install power window at the back ler. Hardly ever used at the back. 2 less power windows means 2 less potential problems...LOL.

Called my SA in the afternoon also....never bother to pick up my call...he see my number dun wanna answer liao i think.

As for the immobilizer....errr...alarm is immobilizer?? I believe usually people refer to the transponder in your key which without will immobilize the car.

There's no such function in Savvy i think, maybe only H-Line.

Yeah...the trademark disease shows. There's no cure for fanboy Ah Beng with a broken tooth coz he always seeps air out of his big mouth...LOL.

25k is good price. There's no ABS/Airbag in STD version either, only the HL series has.

btw, i saw Eneos selling sunroof...RM799 or RM1799...can't remember. But who wants to turn their car into a kereta potong?? No thanks.

What taking them so long!!!!

You got yours already??

btw, can you check whether there's any insulation(black color pad like thing) under the front bonnet? I think some cars come with it and others don't. Just check and see whether yours have it.

Huh, you hand over agreement? Isn't that suppose to be done by bank agent? If you just hand over the loan agreement, i think your car won't make it next week...I've signed all the agreements on 3rd August and made downpayment early last week.

Hope u get yours soon. All this waiting is getting on my nerves.

I thnk Peyno should be ban from this forum. Or anywhere else for that matter.

He is an annoying bug.

Added on August 18, 2007, 4:35 pmHyper: Don't go down to the level of Peyno with the mindless P2 bashing. You don't want to stoop that low.

Added on August 18, 2007, 4:39 pmHey travis, if you want to start a petition to get rid of Peyno, count me in.

Back to topic:


My SA called me at 2pm today... ...say i can collect car this evening, but i decide to go tomorrow morning .

Ha-ha, looks like i'll have a new ride on Sunday after all.

This post has been edited by Matrix: Aug 18 2007, 04:39 PM

WQK xxxx.

Just have my first drive just now from Mutiara.

Ist stop at Shell petrol station.....unfortunately can't open petrol cover! (very embarrasing..)...quickly called SA and asked him should i turn left or right to open cover...he said anti-clockwise and even offered to drive over to help me...i said no need, i try first. So it turned it anti-clockwise...managed to open it but it's quite hard to turn ler...Is it normal??? My wife will definitely going to hate this...

Ok, then continue with driving home. So far so good, i've hit 100km/h max (i try not to go over 90km/h as the Myvi burn-in period recommendation is 90km/h).

Oh yeah...what is this complaining by some Savvy owner engine loud ar? Ok mah...where got loud...at 100km/h, it's maybe only slightly louder than my Myvi and not "roaring" as some Savvy drivers said...maybe they used to drive Camry??? If you want to hear a roar, try driving a Viva 850...even at 2nd and 3rd gear, low speed sounds like lion already.

btw, unfortunately, my new Savvy does not have sound proof material under the front hood... , but on the bright side, since it's not really that loud to begin with and i can further reduce the noise later with some padding.

When i reached home, i checked the manual and found that the recommended max speed for burn in period is actually 110km/h for the Savvy... ...also has recommended gear and speed but who the heck can remember that....so i'll just stay within 110km/h before 1st service.

btw, it comes with an immobilizer alarm in the key(has a chip inside).

Well, in terms of driving experience, i'm sure glad i didn't buy a VIVA. Now i just hope it's more reliable than a SAGA. Gulp.

Just hit 105km with my Savvy....but 2 bars of petrol gone liao??? Is it because the engine still haven't break in yet? I didn't rev the engine, just drive normally.

How's the fc for new Savvy....is this normal?

Also, sometimes i hear "tak" "tak" sound coming from somewhere....normal or not??

Yes, you're right. the first bar gone after 3xkm!! The 2nd bar starts dissappearing and reappearing this morning at 105km.

Maybe i try to off the aircond and monitor the "tak" sound. Thanks for the tip.

Added on August 20, 2007, 11:04 amErr...what is "engine braking"???

This post has been edited by Matrix: Aug 20 2007, 11:04 AM

What car u drive now?? I support you buy Savvy...go go!!!

So far:

Cons:
(1) No auto lock of car when shutting engine and pressing the brake padel cannot auto lock either. :thumbsdown:
(2) The lock is just a small cyclinder sticking up and down...this is very old style....
(3) Everything left becomes right and right becomes left...RPM meter, signal lights etc.
(4) The meter lights...yellow, bright red at night wah-lau...i can't even read the meter...

Pros:
(1) Less bumpy than my Myvi!
(2) Nice ride and handling!!(especially turning corners).
(3) Feels like driving a big car like my old KIA sephia again!!
(4) I didn't try to unlock the wrong car!! (I actually try to go into the wrong Myvi a few times before...too many on the road...so embarrassed...quickly cabut..)

But yesteday...i kena cucuk from a 4WD...Nissan i think...tailgate me at SPRINT highway...and then another AhBeng driving Myvi (with Penang plates) try to cucuk me also......WTH...you want go faster you go ler!!! I should put a sticker saying "My other car is a MYVI!!!"...LOL.

In terms of driving experience ok ler...for 37k...what else can buy? VIVA? No thanks. Persona is attractive at 45k but i don't think it'll be FC efficient compared to a Savvy.....I'm just paranoid about FC after so many years driving a Kia....LOL.

But the real test will be the quality and whether it'll be mostly problem free. This i think can only be determined after 2 years down the road. We'll see.
(btw, i top up for RM280 for an extra 3 years warranty just in case.)

btw, SA gave me this CoolWorld tint voucher....never heard of it before. Any good ah?

Wahh...you sure much faster than me in getting the car.

Pls share ur FC here and see how much you can get for ur first full tank.

RM850!! So expensive meh? Are they trying to con u? Hypermount, any ideas? I thought there's a price list somewhere in Savoc that shows about RM4xx??

Yep, no padding on bonnet, haven't check firewall yet. Hey! Benjamin! What about yours? Any padding on bonnet? If you do, please take a picture and I'm going to complain to the SA!

btw, my FC seems quite bad...left 2 bars at about 270km!! I'm still not sure how much the last 2 bar can go though. Maybe it's still new....but somehow i suspect the Shell Petrol at SPRINT highway....i remember my MYVI also seems having less mileage a month ago when i pumped a few times there which after i changed to Caltex and now BHP. I'm switching to BHP once this tank of Shell runs out.

Also, there seems to be jerking at 2nd gear below 20km/h...is this normal??

Only today and when the km/h below 20km/h. If i'm below 20km/h, i'll have to rev it up a bit more to make it reach 20km/h and there'll not be jerks. I think this is when i was stuck in a jam and the speed is < 20km/h and i switched to gear 2.

And yeah, the fuel gauge is nuts. Sometimes it can climb back up the bar. Never happened such thing with my Myvi.

And just checked, there's paddings in the firewall.

But this is new car, surely not TB dirty! Yeah, i think it's gear ratio, so far haven't stuck in major jam until today. Do you still use 1st gear when going over bumps? I need to go down to first gear also when going over speed bump.

I'll continue to monitor on the fc and jerk thingy and post feedback here.

Already pumped my tyres 2nd day with the car. Today i'm driving Myvi, noticed below 20km/h, is still okay with Gear 2. I will test drive somemore the Savvy tomorrow.

What's the pressure u usually put for ur tyres?

I think the specs say 210kpa for front, rear i can't remember...200kpa?

Just tested my Savvy just now. Drove for about 1 hour plus, stuck in a jam around Bukit Bintang, but suprisingly, no jerking...everything normal!!!!

I notice even below 20km/h(around 10km/h) also no jerking unlike yesterday. Can also go over bump using Gear 2....

This is weird....

What's TLDR??

If savvy is so so, care to recommend me a better car for 37K?? Kancil? Viva? Atos?? Sutera??

Added on August 24, 2007, 9:48 amDon't be so lazy ler. Just go Proton website.

Savvy Lite RM33,xxxx. Savvy M-Line around RM37,xxx (after 3k discount...maybe got more discount later, who knows).

All Savvy has minimum 3K discount except Savvy Lite.

That's EON website ler. EON website super pariah wan. You should go to proton-edar.com.my instead.

Means you run 258km and left 2 bars or only used 2 bars?...yah, so far, isn't very impressed with the FC....but maybe it's still too early to judge...gotta wait until after 1000km and 1st service, then more accurate. The first tank was like 12.xx km/l for the Savvy....this is same like my Myvi before 1st service....I was hoping the savvy could hit 15km/l...if not gonna complain to SC already.....

Do you have the "nyeet nyeet" sound when pressing the clutch? I tried spraying WD-40, unfortunately, i can't see the underneath without breaking my back (i'm quite big size and not very good at going underneath cars and squeezing into small places)....i took a shot underneath the pedals with my digicam and rougly tembak the WD-40 everywhere...but didn't seems to hit the spring thingy (i think that's where i'm suppose to lubricate...now my Savvy smells like WD-40....).

btw, just tinted my car with CoolWorld tint..cost RM450 after discount.
