First batch MT (2005) owner here:

Timing belt around RM330
Air Filter forgot as I changed to open pod one
Oil filter around RM 12

Handling greater than some p2 car tongue.gif
Other common issue can be solved below RM 200.

Did the handling/ride deteriorate too much after >10years?

Actually my brother owned one. Last time i drove, handling is nice, ' harmonically'tuned to chasis n road.

What about replacement parts price? timing belt replacement cost how much? Air filter price? Oil filter price? Can i say they cost almost similar to local cars'?
*
nope. never

savvy handling is really rclxms.gif
one of the best that I ever encounter before.

I had only a front 4 point strut bar with 195/45/15 tyres, the road handling and corner is really good.
maybe because of its design?

replacement parts are affordable.

timing belt, I'm using gates.
water pump, only change 1 time.
ignition coil, advise to go for original Renault only. I tried the blue coil and the china coil, really not too suitable for me.
Air filter, using a K&N, just service every 10k.

no regret for a small car.
the only complain that I got is too small for a family.. cannot ferry too many passenger, underpowered.

I faced this prob last month, so what I did was using screwdriver to kopek the handle mechanism thr till the locker opens, found out one part was broken.

disassembled the mechanism and used gam to revive that broken part.

better sent workshop and use obd diagnos tool to check.
if they quote you more than 3k to fix it, you should consider to do engine conversion.
i just done my engine convert into passo auto early june, cost around 7k, then hassle free.
as you known, amt is an never ending nightmare doh.gif

In Johor, even a First batch Myvi they sold for 13k, really blood sucker second hand car seller.
But I pay half price of it, can get Savvy which is good in handling and chassis strength, plus reliable engine from Mybi.
Is it a smarter choice?

Let's say

1. Convert to manual, you need someone manual owner who willing to sell his manual gearbox, wiring set, meter cluster,gear console, manual Ecu and manual driveshaft as an complete convert kit to you. Which cost you around 2.5k to 3k not including 1.5k to 2k of labour cost.

2. K3vet was around 9k to 10k not including JPJ endorsement 450 ringgit and the cost of modified driveshaft, you need to combine outer cv joints of Savvy which located near tyres with driveshaft k3vet from gearbox output side.
Some more our Savvy cannot fit in large Radiator, the most largest size can fit in was L9 Kenari Radiator. If you done that conversion , you may worry about water temperature issues.

3. Driving a Kancil not much different with suicide.

If you really wanna a hassle free Savvy, I might sell my blue monster to you. Rm8.5k passo auto Savvy with jpj endorsement done. Got dvd player reverse camera inside.

Hi guys, my savvy 2009 mt speed meter occasionally dropped to 0 even though i am in high speed driving. From the previous post it seems to be gear box speed sensor issue, and this item can be purchased cheaply from here
https://www.mudah.my/Proton+Savvy+Gear+Spee...or-28203726.htm
Btw, may i know is it hard to change it by ourself? If very hard, can introduce me a good mechanic shop to change it?
