Dont flame me..
owned it...and sold it within 11 months..
that car sucks...
the steering..the transmission
the engine starts crying after 3K rpm

even those old old taxis got betta transmission then the savvy

sometime this problem..sometime ball joint problem..
stupid stupid stupid proton service centre ppl.
I point them.tell them..see this is what u have to rectify and repair..
come back to collect the car again..guess what the fault still there as it is un touched..

at the end of the day just got sick of that sick car and the sick service and now life is much simpler and less stressful being on the foot.

sorry guys but that's what i got from Proton Savvy!!

since u have already sold the car, there is nothing much left except your memory.
i believe every car is not built equal, so your cat might be one of those with lousy QC.
since your car is under manufacturer warranty at that time, you have all the rights to bark up the PESC management.
threaten them if needed.

to say old taxis got better transmission than savvy's AMT is rather ridiculous.
this technology is developed by renault for spirited driving.

savvy has the best driving pleasure if compared to cars of similar class(handling by lotus).

so now what car are u driving?

memory? 11 months of memory ? i would rather call it my very own experience mate..

if every car is not built equal..and my car would have been from the lousy QC ...i dont deserve that and i should get what i paid for..thus who's the one at the lousy side..me or the Proton ....

manufacturer warranty..claiming warranty a head ache..visiting the service centre and lining up another headache..listening to their nonsense and stories and lousy workmanship..another headache..

Transmission in terms of smoothness ok..i dont know what ur trying to say..but the gear ratio/lag/gear box is one of the worst I have ever experienced. Even a 1990 civic got a better transmission then this car I owned.

Savvy the best driving pleasure? well I started having backache from the seat..head ache from the crying out loud engine...the steering column..way hard...

So now im on foot ..and trust me mate on this...life is simpler..less stressful and aaah I prefer it more this way...

P.S even if the technology they use is from Ferrari or what ever company...until n unless u use quality parts i dont think the case would be the same...

P.S u might be an owner and feeling flamed from my experience..but bro this is an open forum...and im glad to share my info with u.

glad to hear ur cry bro u cant compare it to 1990 civic bru...i have mazda 1993 bp engine...and yes i admit savvy lacking th power...but it is suffice for my daily ride not churning more than 4k rpm...

for me the experience is overwhelming compared to a viva (small sister owned) and a myvi (younger brother owned)...the stiffness is great...and an AMT is so much fun to drive...low to medium torque is enjoyable to drive the city...

urs must have been pure bad luck...

p/s : i've installed the r3 exhaust and the sound is slight higher note than the OEM exhaust...love the roar between the 3-5k rpm range....FC wise...have yet to clock it...but on a BHP i did 380km with mix town and highway driving (but this was when the OEM exhaust was installed)

well u may be correct on ur side..but for me i wont call it bad luck but Proton Savvy..
all the best with ur Savvy mate..
ciao
