Guys, i'm a 23yr old, just started a job 6 month ago, looking to buy a manual savvy. Is it good to buy currently?
Found a savvy MT yr 2009 for 20k. good deal or not?
This is my first time buying a car. Not sure how's the 2nd hand pricing.

if u dont care bout maintainance just take 2005. cash. rm6-7k only.. no need hutang 20k.. had mine for near 5 year.. mileage already near 180k km with no major problem.. that what I suggest.. better for cash flow.. use the monthly cash for repair if got problem rather than paying bank..

thanks for the feedback & recommendation.
anyone here selling their MT savvy? or know someone selling.

thanks.

Edit : btw, this is the car that i talk about [LINK]

What trim/variant?

Start saving money now

Sawi won't worth 20k. That car is all about mods only, which will only cost you less than 3k to have it. Get any Sawi 2008 after facelift version is good for around 10~15k, which is less problem compare to 1st model. Good luck

davidke20, do share how's the tread life of the Achilles ATR K-Sport. I am also running them with 165/50-R15 but only on special occasions and not as daily driver.

36.davidmu,

sorry guys may i ask where good place service proton AMT savvy? i use it six year but find proton authorised centre in cheras (near connaught) damn lousy but nearest so i go there.

Renautech - Subang USJ 1 - renault specialist (but a bit expensive, far more reliable and cheap compared to proton SC)

Updated. Welcome back.

Will they accept Proton cars? Renautech...

yup full of savvy there

An update from previous review on ATR K Sport running on my Shawie as daily doughnuts. For previous dry test review please click here. nestum I do not post this on tyre discussion thread, simply because I know tyre characteristics changed according to vehicle geometry and dynamics. Given the same tyre running on a different vehicle, there are chances that they yield different kinda grip, rolling resistance, and what not the effect of different fuel consumption. I have heard good reviews on AD08, but it just doesn't felt as promising in Quazacolt's Iswaga, as all I can felt was bump steer, roll steer, worst is whilst he's carrying me out for a test ride, the car when hoping around at high speed tight corner. So, here I begin with my 2nd review with these lovely tyres.

We had a few rainny days, nice weather and just nice for me to try out the new tyres

Myanmar car wash: Abang, ini tayar sudah botak, cipat tukak nanti bahaya
Me: Sudah tukak minggu lepas mia
Myanmar car wash: Abang sudah kina tipu la. Tengok, munga sudah abish


So, it's the type of tyre with much confident, trust and love. It has very little tolerance in terms of comfortness, much road noise, and relatively high rolling resistance. Despite of all that, I'm loving it so much on the dry. Considering it has so much of grip, traction, and road feedback.


This is the HF201, previously was on my front end controlling the direction, now had put it at the back as a passive rolling wheels. Notice how clean it is?


Now, who told me these tyres weren't sticky?

The few days I've been consistently running around between KL ~ Seremban, managed to clock some speed and various road condition on these newly installed ATRs. I have already expected some crap to happen as the thread are very deep and far apart. Usually these type of threads would make the vehicle has less traction in wet, but excel in dry grip. The 1st time I had it on the wet was on the way back from Seremban, I know these stuff gonna kill me, hence subconsciously I pay much attention on the road condition and water puddle. The entire stretch of KL-Sban hiway I was hitting between 70~90kph when rain downpour. I managed to went through some high water accumulation surface, so as water puddles along the way, I have prepared for spin out as I already making sure I'm away from other road vehicle behind/infront at a safe distance. As soon as I hit the water puddle, the steering goes lighten, RPM sudden raise. It's a clear sign of loosing grip. However though, the straightness of the vehicle maintain pointing towards direction ahead. No drama at all. For the next few occassion of raining testing, I manage to get myself used to the kind of low wet traction, bringing my vehicle speed gradually from 70~110kph without too much of a worry.

Anyways, before I came to conclusion, a small incident happened on last Tuesday 18/3 evening as I left Seremban for KL. Again as usual, driving in heavy rain enjoying my ride at about 100kph. This time it was out of my expectation. I was on the middle lane happily enjoying music with all the windows up since rain downpour, suddenly a travel bus passing my Shawie at relatively high speed. The amount of water rejected from the bus pushes my ride to the left lane. I already worked very hard to adjust my steering wheel, trying to keep it at my current occupied lane, but the vehicle just simply aint cope with the amount of lateral force pushes from the side. This is an actual situation of aquaplaning where the tyres are actually floating on the water surface. There's nothing I can do to save the car, but to let the water pushes me out. I maintain my gas pedal input, gradually pushes my steering wheel to the right to TEST whether I can gain my ground. I'm also scared if I correct my steering input too much it might spin out, hence I'm only gradually testing and trying. Until after some distance only I managed to grab back my grip and carrying on my journey.

Overall, the wet traction is considerably known as BAD. It wasn't so bad to the extend where it will spin like a gasing as many accused. I'd say it's still quite decent, but definitely not for the faint hearted. When you're prepared and knowing what's gonna happened, then it's find. You can still fly through water puddle with these tyres, it's just that you'll have to be very careful and knowing the limit you're going to hit. Accident happens when you least expect it. Be safe. Cheers.

glad you're alright bro

and yeah that's the drawbacks on using semi slicks (or at least semi slicks treading with similar compound) in wet.
the danger is there.

thankfully the ad08r did not have such characteristics and water channeling was top notch. have sped over 160kph over water puddles with splash waves over the car's height, no drama, just pure thrills and enjoyment
