thanks MR.Davidke for this info so it's only about outside design and the Spindles no problems improved like hard clutch pedal and coil pack

although I've found 2005/06 savvy for good price (6xxx rm) and it has done 90 k so do u think its good deal bro

BTW the seller told me its otr but I don't know what does that mean ?!!

Best is source for 2008 to be safe. As far as I understand, less than 10% of Shawie owner went back for the spindle recall from Plotong whistling.gif Tanyalah sini, bape orang 1st batch Shawie belom lagi tayar terbang? Replace both spindle will cost you cincai RM500. I, choose to upgrade Plotong GaGa FLX, skali gus braking system smua upgrade hampir kat 1k doh.gif

Hard clutch, it really depends on luck. NOX clutch is the softest I've ever tested from so many Shawie I've put my hands on.

Coil pack, UK Plotong Lotus made a recall, to migrate coil pack from behind to infront of brake fluid reservoir. Ayam wondering can be done locally and why local Plotong didn't make such recall hmm.gif

Just remember AMT is expansive to maintain, but that's all. Basically, across all the Shawies shares the same plobrems. Good luck in hunting.

I got what do u mean bro and u r right in this point but the question here is if the spindles are already replaced on this 2006 model or even not so I replace them would the car be ok by then and extra problems or different with 2008

I just have seen a two savvys today but i didn't like both of them the both have very hard clutch so that seems the hard clutch pedal is another common problems is savvy cars. now I'm thinking to look at Satria I think it's much better!

hahaha if that was true then I must be the strongest man in the world

u don't know my k11 nissan march its clutch pedal is the hardest one the world in fact many people cant drive my car and I've remove the cable so so many times and clean it and oil it so I'm tired enough now with clutch pedals my dream is to get a car with lite clutch (at first I tot the savvy has clutch pump coz it's modern car)

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

I just have small question, as I David told me that the savvy versions from 2008 and above only has front grill use net type

but I found know 2007 savvy with front grill use net type and 33k mileage only

the sales man told me that the car is free accident but how come it has front grill use net type and it's 2007 car ??

today I've driven a savvy for first time but I'm really really depressed guys the car was very weak

I'm not sure whether the problem is just in that car or maybe my driving style and putting gears was bad coz I just drove it for 3 min

if we compare the power of the savvy with myvi1.3 is there big different??

BTW the car is fully repainted is that ok ??

so I think I need to test savvy again (unfortunately I couldn't find anyone for rent)

so the car that i found I don't think it had an accident but it's fully repainted and there were R3 body kit on it so may the owner painted the car to have all the same color ?!!

if it were fully painted is it hard to re sale with less value ??

BTW the car already has 3 owners
