jsut test drive savvy ysday..
very dissapointed with the sa...she gave us a 36 k amt savvy to drive saying that it is exactly da same as the std type..well i still accept it since i am already there.when i went into da car the fuel signal already start blinking.i told the sa she say no problem still can go very far..well..when i start the engine is still ok ..the steering is very hard dun seems lik power steering ..i was told b4 that this 36k savvy do not have power steering..but the sa justify that for a samll car lik savvy is best not to hav power steerign bcoz u can easily lost control..i was lik wtf...
welll...let me continue...so i try the car near the housing area coz da sa worry that we will bang her precious car...
with less than 4 min of driving,,,my friend who was driving complain that the car was very underpower..ha...with less than a sec da car completely left with zero fuuel...cant even move...and the funny thing is da sa did not bring her bag or mobile phone..
i borrow her my phone..and guess wat she cant remember her office or friends or whoever number...thank god a taxi pass buy and we have to take a cab back to the showroom...so dissapointed with the sa..
when i ask her any question bout the car she was so blur simply answer me and say she will check for me...and so.so..she dun even know how to use the amt gear..i had to teach her back....ai....duno wat other comment i can give to this unprofessional sa

Anyway, just to clarify:
(1) the 36/37K savvy IS standard Savvy. This is after the discounted price.

(2) The SA knows nuts. All Savvy has power steering...hydraulic power steering to be exact...it's not the typical electric power steering. Yes, it does feels heavier but actually there's pros and cons. Heavy steering will feel steady when driving at high speed while light steering will be twitchy at high speed. With the handling capability of the Savvy, a heavier steering is better suited. If you want to know what no power steering means, test drive a VIVA 850/660 and try to turn from stationery position (etc: traffic light stop).

(3) Underpower? What are you comparing against? 1.5 or 1.6 car? This is a 1.15cc car (yes, it's not 1.2..only 1149cc..Proton lied), so cannot expect too much. Still, I can safely say it's more powerful than all the VIVAs i've tested. But it definitely lose out to Myvi 1.3 in terms of fast pick up. (but also cheaper by 6k to 7k)....or maybe the car just no fuel...so no power lor!!!  biggrin.gif

As for zero fuel...wat to do...idiot SA...no cure.

SerenaYap: Oopss....you said 36k AMT Savvy..which means Savvy Lite...of course not the same as standard Savvy!!
*
the 36k savvy is the new savvy without accesories ..
i am not sure which type is it..
the one i planning to buy is the 43k amt ...but the sa let me test the 36k..i duno wat is the different between this two except this one dun have power window, and tyre rim..

actually i am driving a 1.0 manual car without power streering also..i dun mind the power steering..
but the amt pick up power is really very lousy...

nvm i go test drive again someday when i am free..cox that day i din really get to drive it..

just wanna ask i tot savvy is also a 3 cylinder car..this is what i was told by my sa..

maybe i am too use to driving manual car thats why i feel the pick up power is weak..
but i total agree that kelisa has the best pick up power..is one of the fastest..
