hmmmm... actually how much is the savvy now? btw how is that handling of that car?

My father tested it, the ride was neither firm or too soft.
The handling was pretty decent, allowing a decent amount of agression.

The tyres 'look' thin. They're 195s aren't they?
I haven't seen the R3 in real life.

EDIT: My mistake, they're 175s. That's pretty decent for 15 inch rims.

no sweat, but i am one of the proton owner that walked away from Myvi after i've seen numerous issues regarding the brakes, immobilizers, starter, air bag & air cond, and i ignored my deposits for myvi andget a proton cars.

and guess what? i never forget the fun that my Proton gavesme while I drive it everyday!

Proton is not like the old proton anymore. however, this does not apply to Wiras & Iswaras as they're built on obsoleted technology and do not comply to today's safety & emmission standard. and proton agreed to phase them out within this year.

Really?
This year?

Aiya, you guys are arguing for what?
Conclusion is, safe car = hard shell, good crumple zone, stiff survival cell, airbags(a good distance from your face), ABS, EBD, good road holding.

No, the edited one is too short.
I mean the wheelbase. I like the short overhangs. But the wheelbase is too short.

What if you push the wheels further to each corner?

Only for looks' sake. laugh.gif
Not for performance. Pushing the wheels to the corners would make the ride more pleasent. But a more powerful engine would be needed.

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. sweat.gif

I also doubting will the future proton models will have AMT? hmm....
*
Just release the throttle to prevent the jerk, that simple. How much throttle release depends on the gearbox. Very good ones require little to no release of the throttle.

It'll only make more aerodynamic drag and makes you slower. The one on the bottm should sit at the edge of the roof, that would make it look good IMO. biggrin.gif

I like the exhaust though. thumbup.gif
