I'm very very sorry the 2007 savvy has done 146k not 180k my brain is so confused coz in this week I've seen more than hundred cars la
in fact I'm foreign student looking for local car so at firs i decided to get satria then I saw the savvy and I liked it mode than the satria and even its more modern but many people told me that it has a lot of problems , expensive ,hard to maintain, hard to re sale and of course
hard clutch pedal la so then I went to waja,wira,gen2 and I didn't like them all as savvy
so know I'm so confused whether to get this car or not still thinking about it
thanks David I'll be happy if i could join ur TT bro
Trust me, all your friends told you is true. Maintaining a Satey is much easier than Shawie. Performance wise, a Satey is also on par with Shawie despite it's a way older car. However, things below will superceed a Satey.
1) Satey got high theft rate, Shawie itself is an anti-theft. Many times I forgot to lock the car and let it there whole day until finish work, press the remote and there's only 1 beep

2) Front windscreen RM240 for Shawie, Satey need RM350
3) Satey roof will rust. So far, none of the Shawie have this problem.
4) On stock form, Shawie got way better handling than Satey
5) On stock form, Shawie is TUV standard(not certified), whereas Satey is a much older technology
6) Fuel consumption... lazy to explain. Click my fuelly on my signature

7) Cheaper roadtax for Shawie due to lower engine capacity
8) Cheaper insurance for Shawie due to lower engine capacity/market value
9) It's easier to find a Shawie and buy it, rather than buying a USABLE Satey. Given same condition, same age for both vehicle, you'll pay a bomb for Satey, whereas pay dirt to get a Shawie
10) You're less likely getting provoke on the road if you're in Shawie, but not a Satey.
I enjoy having the Shawie so far. It does continue give me buttache from time to time, but that's ok. Everytime when I crank my engine, engaged 1st gear, release brake & clutch pedal, turning out from my parking lot, it put a big grin on my face! Owning a Shawie, we gotta talk about passion, not convenient. Ask me again, I still don't know what kinda idiot would buy sparepart and put in the trunk, just incase anything happened I get a convenient to repair instead of getting slaughter by unknown mechanics. If you don't know anyone, I'm that idiot.
Long live Shawie
