for me savvy is good in term of fuel economic and yes the car really look cool in grey..but in term of maintenance i think the europe engine quite hard and expensive to maintain..i prefer MyVi because it spacious and design really appeal me..dunno bout others..but in the end it depend on thread starter and his money 
Contrary to popular believe.. it's not that expeanive the parts...maybe RM500 timing belt kit is expensive but price seems ok compare to other makes as it includes water pump kit.Just some info.

Savvy's parts price

2) Air filter = RM 113.94
3) Oil Filter = RM 34.01
4) Tranself gear oil 75W80 (1L) = RM 44.66
5) Front headlight = RM 346.42

8) Speedo meter (UK version, part# PW865651) = RM436.10
9) Timing Belt kit with bearing (part# 7701473001) = RM516.74
10) Radio Antenna (part# PW851932) = RM167.00
Oil & air filter change is 20k km..there's much cheaper aftermarket air filter like washable redline..I feel it's the most pricey in the list...the gear oil is 40k and timing belt 60k..the gear oil is synthetic needs 3L..got cheaper alternative I heard owners use Tranself mineral type instead.

Localised parts ( apart from proton ori) is beginning to appear in the market.

There will be a cheaper alternative for Savvy's timing belt kit which is RM500++
Proton cut throat..even renault's ori oil filter is cheaper than Proton's filter...

If you like manual tranny car..you'll feel nice changing gears in Savvy manual which is stiff and solid..clutch which is hard also can be tweaked to become softer...
One lady friend who's been drving kancil agrees with me...she feels her kancil like a toy after drving my savvy that is include overall experience also, overall the car feels heavy and drives like a bigger car, might not be a better choice for girls thou... perodua manual gearbox is too soft too lembik..including Myvi manual..
