The problem u found... i think is normal AMT problem... Gearbox may be rough during auto-interchange gears, especially when stopped at the traffic lights. But if you press the brake slightly harder, you will find no rough sound at all. It is a manual gearbox with bolt on AMT system. No torque converter means you need to get used to using gears on hilly roads. or i might be wrong... haha... please read review at here... http://www.carsurvey.org/viewcomments_review_91120.html |

quite confuse.
when i chk at trade forum, they mention our savvy use 14"/20" wiper. but when i measure it myself, its 16.6"/22". so which one is correct? since there is no size of 16.6", which one should we take it? 16" or 17" one? |

wiper size - dunno leh...gotta check at jusco for the bosch wipers - got state the size for savvy..
Nice reviews.. [url]Link removed on author's request[/url] Being on the lookout for a small car lately, wifey and I have been doing a lot of test driving and so far the cars I have tested include the Naza Bestari 206, Suzuki Swift, Hyundai Getz, Proton Savvy, Perodua Myvi and even the just-launched-last-Friday Hyundai i10. From all that driving 3 things stood out... Number 1: the Bestari 206 is noisy. This is surprising as being a Peugeot owner, I expected the Europeans to be the most refined of the bunch. True, it generated no notable wind and road noise, but the engine noise was thrashy, coarse and the worst part is you need to thrash it to get any acceleration, so you'll be living with the noise a good portion of the time. The engine? Let's just say that this is so last century. It's weak, and aside from the decent torque arriving at an astonishing 2800rpm, nothing nice to say about it. It clearly lacked the punch to power the 206, and the autobox blunted that even more. The noise I already mentioned is almost always there, and the amount of noise when you floor the pedal is nowhere near the acceleration you get. Handling was good, though there was quite a bit of body roll in typical Pug fashion, but don't be fooled, the limits are still quite far off. Ride comfort was okay, a bit firmer than I expected. Built quality was good as far as I could tell, with no weird noises from the interior, though gaps were uneven here and there. Number 2: the Savvy is shockingly good. Again, I say shockingly as the response towards this car hasn't been exactly good, and most buyers gravitated towards the Myvi instead. After driving it I'd say that they don't know what they're missing... Refinement was very good for its class, and engine noise remained relatively muted, road noise and wind noise nothing to complain about. But the biggest surprise was the ride comfort and handling. It simply blew all the others (maybe tying the Swift) into the weeds. Damping was good, and even on the construction riddled Subang airport road it remained well behaved and bad roads were more heard than felt. And despite all that steering felt the best, very responsive and quick with decent heft. Reminds me of my old Satria Gti actually... Who says the Lotus association hasn't paid big dividends??? Power was actually decent despite the lowest on paper ratings, most likely due to the lack of a power-sapping torque converter. Engine noise was fine, no coarser or noisier than the Koreans. The technology in a car of this price is astounding, AMT aside, it comes with Drive-By-Wire. Best thing is however the reported fuel consumption, which is claimed to be up to 18km/L! Even after discounting the optimism in the testing, I figured you'd still end up with around 13-14km/L, which is still a lot. In auto mode the gearshifts were a bit slow as the ECU was retarded a bit too much I'd think, so you actually feel a bit of a jerk. In manual mode it also exhibited similar behavious, but after a while I got used to it and learned to release the accelerator a bit when shifting, which then made gearchanges as smooth as it could be with a normal manual box. Truth be told both wifey and I had a lot of fun in the car. To put things into perspective, similar AMT boxes such as the Selespeed and the Smart car generate a similar if not worse jerky behaviour, but once you get used to the release pedal thingy, it's fine. You wouldn't shift gears in a normal manual car with the accelerator pedal on full bore anyway, so I suppose we can't expect any different from the AMT. The interior was the only thing that bothered me. It was very plasticky, though the quality of the plastics were not that bad, and I've actually seen worse in a car costing nearly twice its price (I won't say which...) but to its credit, everything was intuitively laid out and fell to hand naturally. Pedals were also laid out properly unlike the 206 which seemed to be skewed to one side. But they could have at least put some cloth at the doors like the Saga lah... At the end of the day it's great in every way (plastics galore and size aside), and the only suspect is the reliability problems that have plagued Proton. Though recently quality has gone up a notch, there's still some way to go. The TUV certification and 5-year warranty does go some way towards addressing our scepticism though... Number 3: the Hyundai i10 is a great car for its size. I expected a car that size (and truth be told to be tincan-like and clunky to drive. Nothing could be further from the truth. Refinement was great; road and wind noise well suppressed, and damping is very good. Feels like a much bigger car. Of course handling suffers due to the height of the car, but nothing really bad. Just felt a bit wobbly at higher speeds. Interior room was also superb, considering its size. One trick that made its legroom feel bigger was to make occupants sit straighter and higher, which it effortlessly did with its high roof (the car is as tall as a Myvi!!!). I suppose for short commutes this is fine, but it would get very tiring to sit like you're on a straight backed bench after a while. And the rest? The Getz was actually the most well rounded of the lot, with a decent engine, decent handling, decent comfort and decent interior. Decent everything in fact, but nothing that stands out as being particularly bad or good. Not a bad approach really, look at Toyota... The Swift was clearly the most well built, though by a slim margin. Interior plastics looked fine but didn't feel good, being in some places nastier than the Savvy plastics, and felt curiously hollow. Engine noise was not good, and being one of the cars in this group with variable valve timing, power was just adequate. Comfort was also not a standout, though handling felt at the top of the group bar the Savvy which felt more nimble. Surprisingly, the Savvy's wheelbase is longer than the Swift, though by a smidgen, it's still something you'd never be able to tell from just looking at both. The Myvi was just plain disappointing. It handles like a strand of wet noodle, it isn't particularly comfortable, and built quality was just so-so. The engine was coarse and loud, was not powerful, and road noise was very memorable. Also, word is around that the fuel consumption is awful, in some cases with people claiming it costs about as much as their Wira 1.5, a car that is about 15 years older, is carburettored, has a 3 speed auto, and weighs about the same. The only reason why anyone should buy it is because of the perceived reliability of Peroduas. To make matters worse, it isn't cheap. I would say there is no reason, under any circumstance, that anyone should buy it, but the Myvi fanboys would come at me real quick. Just witness the mindless "Myvi rules..." posting in local forums... What will we be buying? Well, we already have a big car, and wifey just need it to commute to and from work, and our priority is in not getting into any more debt. Take a guess...

The interior was probably the only place where it lost points. It was very plasticky, ESPECIALLY the door panels, though the quality of the plastics were not that bad, and I've actually seen worse in a car costing nearly twice its price (I won't say which...) but compared to the pretty i10 dash and the stylishly simple Swift, looked quite dowdy.
