Sounds so anime-like. Dropped a cig ? You sure you got the time while zipping up to the top of Uncle Lim's hill and watching the Civic driver.

I am okay with normal review, even if its a Savvy or any crappy Proton, but i can't seem to tolerate the insult thrown on a Honda, a Japanese powerhouse carmaker.

The statement "Savvy AMT beats the Civic" just gets on my nerves. If the testdriver was testing and comparing both of the cars, then yes, you may give such a conclusion. How bloody sure are you that the Civic driver isn't some old uncle fagging away while cruising up for a good time. No offence but normally those who can own a Civic are pretty much older people, and not all old people rushes up Uncle Lim's hill like some Initial D or Tokyo Drift retarded wannabes.

The only time i felt Savvy being more comfortable is when taking corners. I have a close friend driving a Savvy while myself with a Myvi. You can enter corners faster in a Savvy.

The backseat sucks for me though, can't blame it, i am 6 feet tall anyways.
If you do not need a big and high back cabin space, take the Savvy since its cheaper and you can get the car faster and maybe the AMT could be fun for those who hates driving with a clutch.

Savvy for handling and performance-wise while Myvi for comfort and bigger cabin space.

Swift no need to compare...if talk about Swift, can bring in Yaris and Jazz to debate also.

I checked while going for Satria Neo testdrive, some Proton showrooms are offering Savvy AMT for RM39k+ with RM2k petrol voucher. They said it was a older batch and going to clear them cheap during the Merdeka promo. Well, can't remember which showroom.

Now that you mentioned it, i think its a 2005 batch. Thats why its so cheap.

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.

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.

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.
