hey all savvy lovers,

Do you think the savvy would be better with a 6th gear?

lol, it's all the gears are so flexible that i use 5th gear so frequently. It would so kick ass if there's a 6th gear option. I love playing with gears lol. It saves FC, and that's another reason why i love driving.

Oh, and another "sigh" is the internal build. It's so flimsy and cheap.

though they say the savvy's engine is torque-y, but i don't know it's THAT torque-y to handle a 6th gear.

i don't know how to really determine the engine's torque power.

but i can do 5th gear at 40km/h+ or sometimes lower smoothly without any problems. RPM around 1.5K at around 40 and then increases accordingly to my velocity.

With the modest power that a Savvy has, a 6th gear would only add complexity, weight and cost. If it has 100hp, then it would be nice.  drool.gif  On par with the old Lotus Elise!

yup, very well said.

For some weird reasons, i don't like how the lotus elise looks LOL. The Exige looks wayy better IMO.

My father's a crazy savvy driver, i just saw him using 4th gear around 23-25km/h this afternoon. No jerks no high rpms, everything's smooth.

I tried 30km/h 4th gear on my KE70 before, no jerks and smooth. Nothing special here.

tongue.gif, why do you have to poke me like that?

Anyway, i'm only want to express how versatile this car can be (city cars mah), and probably boost the basher's confidence on proton cars. IMO, they still suck to some extent, the interiors are cheaply made. That's very dissappointing.
