When buy 2nd hand car...the condition of the car is more important than color. You pick the best condition car and can paint it purple if you like later.


btw, after driving the Savvy for 1 week plus...compared to Myvi...the pick up is not as good as Myvi 1.3. Myvi still rules supreme in pick up power and engine quietness. You don't have to rev as hard to get the same speed and Myvi just get there faster than the Savvy. Also, when going uphill with full load, i can feel the Myvi got loads of oomp raring to accelerate even at 5th gear when i hit over 60km/h. With full load and uphill, the Savvy can feel losing power and not accelerating unless i press the pedal hard.

Of course, handling Savvy rules supreme...have some fun in the hilly areas before you reach the Mall (dunno what u call that hill...can link to Bank Negara also)...turn left and right very quickly and laugh at the Iswara behind trying to keep up.

Now my car got some noise...like plastic vibration...not sure where...it happens on and off. Still bearable at the moment and it isn't that loud, but annoying enough.....but really dissapointed with the quality....i don't have a single problem with my Myvi after 6 months, no noise, no weird vibration......P2 owns Ploton anyday in quality. Well, at least lucky for me, none of the problems are major........

Dirty throttle body, TDC/Speed sensor are the reasonn for hard to start and jerking problems.

I don't think it's the knob...sounds more like plastic or maybe windows?? It doesn't always happen though, i think at low gears more like likely, after car is smooth and at maybe > 70km/h, i don't hear it. I think it happens more often when i accelerate and change gear at low speed (gear 1 to 3).

Still i'll just check out the knob just in case....knob looks sturdy and solid though...

Maybe find a dog...anyone wants to borrow me his dog??

Yeah...heard loads of this jerking crap issue. Mostly due to TB dirty...if not must be one of the sensors...TDC, O2, and a few other sensors. I sure hope i won;t have to face it...

I believe u refer to the ignition coil. That's a common problem with Savvy....should cost around RM380. But i got 5 years warranty...

I think u should warm up ur engine at least 30 seconds every morning before u move the car. Also, leaving a car long while without using is bad...your friend should change the oil even before it's interval because it should be 3 months or 5000km interval (or 6 months or 10000km interval)....since the car is not used much, must change the oil even if the mileage interval is not reached.

My myvi haven't use for 3 days (over 2 very cold rainy days) and i have problem starting it on 3rd day.

well.... sounds like that is his fault. the battery is not recharged properly because it's only heat up for like a few minutes, and the mechanical parts weren't moving enough to get lubrication. and remember savvy is drive-by-wire. the engine behaviour depends on the driving style (throttle, etc...)
i don't recall if my sis' Savvy behaved like that.

2 years and never go to 1000km service?

I was juz answering a question... 
If I can afford a 80K car, do u think I'll still care about the FC???

o... so comfirm they will using the saga name back!

so how is the price tag the salesman told you?
