people buy viva because of the mentality of scare to drive large car.. a lot of girls prefer to bought viva because its small, easy parking and most of them dont dare to drive large sedan. even so saga is not that really big!

i always see that most of viva / myvi drivers are girl..! some boys drive it too but most of them mention that its easy driving a car without rear trunk as when they get their driving licence, they do it in a kancil, so they think they are used to trunkless car,

but most of the boys thinking to go for large car after getting their licences..! but only budget permit it!  can u agree on it ?

my 2 cent humble opinion.. 

OMG...! 

viva or kancil hit ? get 2 fatality ..!

can't hit 170km with my standard skinny steel rim savvy lite!  the car shaking terribly when reaching 130... eeeeuurghhh!   

more like u have ignition coil problem eg. moist enter the ignition system. i experienced it before exactly same as you. what i did...change the whole ignition coil system coz changing new sparkplugs didn't solve it

damn...must be the heavy rain yesterday.

Need to pay RS auto a visit..

Jerking not necessarily ignition coil, could be crank sensor as well.

My Savvy 1+ year ago engine was super heavy jerking/knocking, that one was ignition coil problem.

Last few months had light jerking at low revs + hard to start, that one was crank sensor problem.

40k is major service alrdy. try to look at your savvy booklet. you will know what are the things to be changed or replaced or checked at 40k service

engine oil - rm99
oil filter rm 13
air filter rm 50
brake fluid rm18
spark plug rm 76
coolant rm 12
labour itself is rm 70....

i only know im super broke lor. well yea, the oil is semi synthetic...
RS auto is good? wont slaughter ppl?
i heard from the proton sc ppl 60k service need to change the amt oil (something like that lah). that one also exp.....

my front left headlight bulb has burned.

anybody know what type our headlight bulb is? H7?

is it true we need to change both bulb left and right?

easy or not to DIY change the bulb?

Basically it's the AMT itself... check if he service the amt gear oil in time... and check his knowledge about the car... like put to N and pull handbrake for stops... amt pump overheating... jerking problem... etc etc...

Like everyone else here already mentioned, the biggest and possibly only major problem with AMT Savvy is the AMT itself.

Other common problems? Power windows? Yeah still there...but not so bad. My Manual Savvy is nearly 2 years old this coming October. So far, no major issue...but it's quite low mileage..only 21K so far.

Some common Savvy problems, which i have encountered are:
Car jerking in low gear - Sensor or throttle body problem. (Mine has sensor replace once or twice).
Stupid seat belt problem (can't pull it after you wear it...sometimes like that, front seats),
Power window - switch replaced once.
Rear right door - cannot close nicely. A lot of savvy has this problem.
Petrol cover - cannot open!!! **&%$ This is really stupid, when your car runs out of fuel and you can't pump petrol! I use a 20 cents coin to flip it open....so always have a 20 cent coin ready somewhere! But it was fixed since the last service @15,000 km and still working fine now.
Rear lights on constantly - this is not common problem...somehow the switch underneath got loosed, no big deal. Just plug it back. (But  i can't manage to plug the thing underneath the steering wheel and have to send it to a nearby workshop who charge me RM5 for it...LOL.)

use my trick: press brake, switch from N-1-N few times, then start!

ok here's the cost:

Labor:          RM 100.00
Sealing ring: RM    1.31
Spark Plug : RM  91.64
Rad. Coolant: RM 28.34
Oil Filter:      RM 12.27
Petronas Synthium 800 : RM 101.00
Air Filter :    RM 26.31
Alignment & Balancing: RM 56.00
Service Tax: RM 6.12

Total Damages: RM 423

It specify Total Parts = RM294.47, Total Labor=RM 122.40....not sure how they breakdown.

What do you guys think? Labor very expensive....Parts price ok? The Spark plug are 'Champion' plugs according to them. A tad expensive on the plugs? Maybe oil can get cheaper outside?

savvy service is once every 10k km?
if my SC ask me to check every 5k km what does that mean ?
that SC is a bit lousy, i ask them to repair this weird sound coming from near my tire 2 times d, one of them till change brake pad but no difference at all

death_nite, what's your AMT fc for city & highway?

previously with ron 97 can get around 16-17km/l for city. highway 15-16km/l; maybe 14km/l cos drive more than 120km/h.

but with ron95, fc for city around 14-15km/l.

highway not sure. havent try. wait next week cos balik kampung.

hi bros, this morning found out my savvy's windscreen cracked bcos of the stupid tree...

where can i change the windscreen with reasonable price?
thanks!
