Autoworld forums was way worse than what i ever seen. The bashing of Proton, the pro savvy boys kept on arguing like nobody business and there alot, i mean alot of arguements which ended in political. U can see a great num of very sad Malaysians around the autoworld forums.

QUOTE(chastise @ May 12 2006, 12:40 AM) I think we should ask a savvy owner after 3 yrs...if there's any problem with it...i personally think the handling is better than Myvi... That my point, i not soo sure how the savvy fares 2-5 years later. Engine and parts frm France made has notorious relaibility issues over Europe, so i have a abd feeling on how it gonna performs here. |

QUOTE(hypermount @ May 12 2006, 03:07 PM) Changing the auto gear box ino ther cars is cheap meh? it goes into a couple of thousands of ringgit..since AMT use exacly the same gearbox, changing the robotic cluth actuator is even cheaper than normal whole autobox If that soo will jeremy clarkson says the new proton savvy has a soul? I doubt he gonna drive it. Typical basher la how do you know the second hand value will be low when I see there are more and more Savvy's..got that Renault Clio wins awardsa again..and the D4F engine is a proven engine. Everything French is bad in the eyes of pommies...think global not just silly stuffs from top gear alone. TUV will not simply let proton use it's name. sigh..same old stuffs used when Later I post. So if you said like that means MyVI is totally a boring car la... only made to move people from point A to point B...like some jeremy said this kind of car has no souls. later i post bz. n btw, what awards the renault clio has won? What i know is the new renault clio got a award for european car of the year, but if i not mistaken it isnt judge frm the 1.2 renault engine the savvy is using now. Can u clarify me on that? On the other hand, its i dont like proton savvy, just that i prefer the gen2 much more than the savvy, in terms of looks , perfomance and fun to drive.

QUOTE Again you're missing the point. Myvi is made for the people, the people who drive it from point A to B and rely on the warrenties for repairs. They need a reliable car that is comfortable and fuel economic, especially the latter which is the whole reason for compact car's existence. The savvy is meant to be a zippy and fun car, and thus to say the savvy is much better than Myvi just because its good in handling is like saying a wrestler can be a president of a country just because he got big muscles and is stronger than the next candidate. Let hypermount read this and see what he will say. Anyhow soggie has a point thqt i strongly agree!In terms of handling, savvy pwns myvi. But then, will that sell cars? Alfa romeo learnt that the hard way. In the real world, quality, reliability, comfort come first. Proton needs sales figures, not fun cars that dont meet the market's demands. |

QUOTE(hypermount @ May 18 2006, 09:18 AM) try to drive up to 130km/h in a kelisa, kancil and kenari..heck a turbocharged kancil could go 180 kmh .. only a person with balls of steel would go beyond that speed in those cars. you can hold the steering with a hand well beyond 170 km/h in a savvy..some dumb posts in the thread do not deserve a reply. I believe u making another dump post over here.That because those cars are not designed to run above 120kmh and above. Only a person with balls of steel will risk his/her life driving 170kmh in the savvy, endangering not only the driver's life but the other road users as well. I believe ur post does not make any sense as well, so are you encouraging all drivers to drive above the highway speed limit? Oh god This post has been edited by travis_ckf: May 18 2006, 09:36 AM |

QUOTE(hypermount @ May 18 2006, 10:09 AM) the engine is good, the car is a good performer, just compare it with the new naza cars and wit h 1.4 engine. savvy owned both, best in its class.. and thats why the they emphasize on it...... i agree the comic ad is disastrous.. Savvy engine best of it's class? Try compare to the K3-VE or the 1NZ-FE then. However i believe the K3-VE may be less powerful than the 1.2 engine from the savvy, but still it will has lesser problems and more durable and easier to maintain in our country. As dstl1128 says, u cant beat Japanese's reliability, no matter who heartless or soulness that car will be. |

I dont call recall good handling car saves lives. It is good defensive driving skills that saves lives.
An hard body might be good thing but i wonder when an accident occured and if the hard body did not absorb the damage, will the driver and the passenger absorbs the damage? That is why nowdays cars are designed with softer front soo it can absorb the damage and minimize the impact towards driver and passenger during an impact. |

I will believe what hypermount says about savvy's high class safety if the NCAP scores for the savvy is 5 stars.

As the savvy is unique as it was the only locally made car with the AMT gearbox, i wondering how many mysia drivers here do appreciate AMT cars, and i have no idea how many AMT savvy were sold so far.
Apart of its cost which is cheaper than a normal auto, AMT and those with semiauto transmission (especially with flappy paddle gearbox) are tend to be jerky. That explains on why in Europe they still prefer manual over auto and semi auto. I also doubting will the future proton models will have AMT? hmm.... |

Well both cars have their own target buyers and the savvy suits for those looking for a small but fun to drive car, wyhile the myvi is aimed for families or those looking for a decent supermini.
Seriously by far the savvy is perhaps one of the best proton has produced so far, so i havent heard a major problem from the savvy at all. |

QUOTE(hk_loo @ Dec 1 2006, 04:37 PM) nolar, even with jazz, yaris, getz, swift, myvi around still savvy will win simply because savvy has lotus handling Nah, i remember last year NST's car of the year award for the supermini category, the nominies are the savvy (manual), myvi and swift and the winner was the swift due to its fun to driving nature.what a timing with the toll increase anak mau duit dari bapa lagi This year's autocar asean COTY awards for supermini category the nominies are myvi, savvy and atos, and the judges allow the myvi to win due to its overall brilliant package rather than savvy's lotus handling Lotus handling will never win sales, take alook at today's proton state and lotus also didnt sell much in Europe. Too bad majority people prefer safe, reliable but boring driving than spirited driving. This post has been edited by travis_ckf: Dec 1 2006, 05:49 PM |

I cant really remember but i remember for supermini category it was won by Swift rather than myvi or savvy. The myvi did not win the COTY for NST.and this year savvy won the awards not only becoz of lotus handling laa..judges oso not stupid lorrr Well for this year for NST's COTY, the savvy deserved to win, coz of its contendors, chevy amt and atos. |

So what the purpose of this thread? Saying the savvy pwned everything in the road in terms of handling and FC?

QUOTE(ahfatt78 @ Dec 6 2006, 02:59 PM) yes, majority malaysian are not car enthusiast, i can see from the way they praise myvi until sky high, then only regretted that it FC is sky high too. FC is a very subjective issue my friend. Some myvi owners has good fc but some did not. I myself a myvi driver has good and bad FC as well but still i believe it's still a good car especially for the masses.QUOTE(ahfatt78 @ Dec 6 2006, 03:22 PM) sorry, i never drive boring car. yes, it's dead right boring for a car that cannot take corner. if it is good, my colleagues (yes, colleagues) wouldn't complain everytime his myvi FC very high. From the FC figure they gave, it is comparable to a 1.6 car FC. Myvi's DVVT?? lol make me laugh only. I wondering what car do you drive? I believe Malaysia will dissapoint you as many car distributers in Mysia release mainly boring cars. |
