Proton Savvy fuel tank capacity is 40 liters

I don't believe this, to be honest.

I get an average 13-14km/l. My savvy starts the fuel blink light at ~350km, and I will travel normall about until ~400km then only pump petrol -- and only 29-30l will be able to go in.

Also in theory I should be able to go 530-540 km on a full tank ... YEAH RIGHT. The one and only time I decided to go by the theory, by 480 km ran out of gas and had to call a friend to go buy petrol for me.

I don;t really think it is a good practice to promote tailgating here
So wat if ur car got ABS?
what if the car behind u do not have ABS?

In the end, you can avoid hitting car in front but the car behind u will still bang on u

u think savoc.net is gospel truth?

manufacturer specs says it is 40l so accept it lah

those crazy fella drive until their tank is dry, then engine shut down.
FYI, some petrol might still be inside the tank, only that the fuel pipe unable to suck in more fuel.
instead it is sucking in air inside the fuel tank, so once the sensor detected it, it will shut down the fuel pump

u wanna bet the fuel tank is really bone dry when those fella go pump maximum at petrol station?
even if pump to the max, are u 100% confirm that the fuel tank is filled to the brim?

anyway 40-36 = 4litres is only a small amount, and u cant really go very far

I dont really see the point in arguing the fuel tank capacity

Accepting the manufacturer specs caused me to first-hand experience running out of fuel at the side of the road for the first time in my life, so you can go ahead and believe their specs, and I'll believe my own experience.

4litres with our car at normal driving can go 60 km ... 60km can consider not far?

even if there's 4 litre left but if we cant use it out so what? it wont make any diff. thinking abt it will make u feel sakit hati.

rather than thinking this car's tank got 40l capacity (but usable up to 36l only), i rather think the later. wink.gif

why u suddenly shoot me? i feel offended okay. shakehead.gif

anyway i am not quoting u first. and this stuff has been discussed like how many time i cant remember. just reread everything.

for new user, ur fc will improve overtime. mine at first go around 13-14km/l. after 8kkm, i got around 15-16km/l. highway give me 16-17km/l.

just hope mine fc will be as good as bro hyper. smile.gif

Need 3 SAVVY Owners to write a report/review on their own car/s. I will put it in my Otoreview BLOG. Don't worry, Will acknowledge your work (Harvard Referencing (ahem!)).

Report/review with AT LEAST 3 photos each car. Limited to 300 words.

In a meantime, I compiled reviews from Carsurvey website. All I can say's that 8/10 POSITIVE reviews, 1/10 bashers and the other 1/10 not used to AMT gearbox.

Why I want to blog about Savvy?
Coz Savvy owners so far no complaints about their car in terms of Reliability, Maintenance and Ride/Handling. Most of them actually sing praises to their Savvy. This is 100% contrary to SAVVY BASHERS in Autoworld.

E-mail me your report/review.

ya. quite agree on this. I have experienced this before.
Most Savvy owners or those who really drive a Savvy before mostly have good feedback about Savvy.
Only those who do not own Savvy or never drove a Savvy before like to bash on Savvy. When they heard someone is buying a Savvy, they tend to say Savvy is problematic, not reliable, this not good, that not good to discourage people from buying Savvy. Shame on them.

My Savvy has been in the workshop more than 5 times for non-routine fixing of problems.

Aircon pipe burst & leaked water into the cabin.
Front absorber heads faulty
Faulty ignition coil
Water pump leaking
Faulty throttle body
CD player jam (ok fine this isn't really a car problem but I had to bring it to COE to fix regardless)

Reliability through obscurity? I almost booked Savvy AMT last year, until I survey my relatives & friends that 1st hand own Savvy and, even tried to discount/ignore those problem stated in forums - i.e. only real life owner face to face survey.

Even now I still have the urge to get one AMT play play... even then those problems never ends but I still keep surveying until I'm convinced to get one. Salute to those with a good Savvy, they are really the lucky ones.


p/s: One LYN already sold off his few months old Savvy around 25~27k just because of 'unfixable' problem keep occuring.
