the export version only have additional abs and air bags. The build of the car is still the same. So the savvy in the pic(singapore savvy) is as tough as the savvy in malaysia.

As u can see in the pics, the savvy only sustain minor scratches on its body and the overall shape of the vehicle is intact,

looks like proton really delivers what they promise. A really tough little car. Kudos to proton

well we could say the design is unique. It seems that proton wants their own original design that symbolize the proton cars.

I think we are going to see more of the gen2 and satria neo tiger eyes headlight for more of their cars.

The savvy on the other hand have really daring/new design, maybe most of the Malaysians dun really like bold and daring design. JUst look what happen with the Juara. Weird design and malaysian rejected it.

well for me the savvy is really a unique car. well thats my 2 cents

actually i dont really understand why savvy is selling so cheap for a second hand car. To say that its a bad car i dont really agree. Actually how does the market sets the price for a second hand car anyway??

i guess becoz its technically a 1.1 litres engine car. Need to press the accelerator more to reach that speed i think

im thinking of buying a manual high line savvy, I have went to 2 shops and they dont have any discount on the car and one of them say that the discount only comes on merdeka promotion which is in july

So im asking here does anyone know how much is the discount for last year merdeka sale? Is it about rm3000 like that?

Ive checked with one of the proton dealer. The high line manual savvy costs 43k while the AMT costs 45.8k.

Of course both of them comes with Dual airbags and ABS

When can i get my own savvy.....heh

i think that savvy is a better car than the viva. The premium viva(AT) is like 44k which is too expensive for a 1000cc car. Even the cheapest 1000cc(MT) (not premium no abs etc) is 38k.

With 39k u could get the MT savvy(no abs airbag) which has bigger engine, better handling and a Stronger chassis. Even the AMT(high line=abs airbags) costs 46k

But the typical malaysian herd mentality will make them choose the viva if someone else buys it(eg neighbors) . And becoz a perodua=daihatsu.

Just maybe the overprived viva will make savvy more attractive

Then i guess the racers in europe have it hard. Maybe michael shumacher is not the fastest driver and cant drive manual cars coz he cant shift gear fast enough. Then all the fastest drivers in the world comes from japan? jk jk

There is nothing wrong with the signal indicator on the left side. It just makes u place of ur hand on the steering wheel when ur changing gear. I switch between proton waja and wira everytime and i dun have any problem adapting to them( both are manual btw). To tell the truth i prefer the left and signal coz it feel more 'natural'. Duno la how to explain

But i guess racers dun really mind the signal lights placing coz they dont use the signal lights when they want to turn/overtake??

when i say europe i mean the UK. Sry about that mistake. If im not mistaken they change have the same right hand drive here in malaysia. And from what i seen they do have their signal changer on the left side like proton (eg citroen) . If there is any cars that change signal n the right side let me know ok(exept japanese cars of coz they chnage on the right)

But not everone in UK uses lotus. If im not mistaken most of the british car makers have gone bankrupt. The only one left and are making money are land rover ( and those are LUXURY cars) meanings that not everyone owns them.( im not sure about this...)

It could be safely said that most of the car in UK are those cars imported from the EU and Japan. So its safe to say that they are accustomed to the left hand signal switching.

anyway befor going more and more off topic lets just say that left hand signal light swithing is not that rare and many ppl in the world are using them. If they can adapt to it want cant we. From my pov its not really that difficult to adapt to it and im always switch between a wira and waja( both manual)

So to say that proton is stupid for making left hand signal change is just...stupid. Many cars in the world are having this type of configs and they are not labeled as stupid.

Well lets not make this an issue any longer and just go back to the topic of PROTON SAVVY

At last we are able to convert a perodua user jk jk

anyway i saw in an ad that now when u buy savvy or neo they give u a free toshiba laptop. Did u take the laptop? Is it possible if we duwan the laptop and get cash discount instead??

oh got free service also. But can u turn that down also and get cash discount instead? or must choose between those 2 only?

i dont think its a promotion. Its a toned down version of the savvy. BUt 33k for a 1.2l car is dam cheap. i dont really care if they change the rims or took out the cd player those things can be bought easily with 2k+.

No power window? That is going to be a bit of a bother at the toll plaza. But everything else is ok i guess.

hey did u guys realise that paultan have removed the story on the savvy lite? MAybe its a hoax and not true?? what just happen?

Oh then the story is true. haha, Its just that u accidently 'hidden' it. Ok then confusion cleared.

off topic: nvr thought that paul tan also surf LYN fast and furious

the bodykit was once on the R3 website, but for some reason the website is down for the past few months..

Well 1 question here , which is a better buy, the 'proper' 40k(mt) savvy with all the accesories or the lite 33k version.

BEcoz i think that installing all those accecories in the lite savvy is going be a hassle with all those wiring and stuff.

The price is attractive and a white savvy is surely going to make head turns. But then a lot of things have to be modded, no time for those things..haih..

off topic: what happen to the r3 website, it seems that it does not exist anymore

If im not mistaken last time they sell it for 3k. That includes the full bodykit, r3 muffler and r3 springs. But that is during the promotion time, Now duno what is the price
