I suppose blue, grey, green and red are colours available before this year's merdeka promotions.
going forward i think only black, silver and orange left for m-line and h-line models, and black and white for lite models.
I booked a silver for m-line but they told me no stock. requested me to choose between black, blue and green but they said all are 2008 models. I guess these are older stocks. right? hmm.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.

Does anyone know when is the first service for new Savvy? 1,000km or 10,000km?

Then what about the subsequent service? how many km?

Thanks.

my car vibrate during take off. went to sc yesterday and they change the ignition coil but the problem persist.
It feels like wanna stall when u released too much clutch during take off (accelerate from stationary). during afternoon the vibration is lesser. btw mine is amt. maybe got problem with the clutch?
*
AMT one got clutch? I thought only accelerate and brake? Only MT(Manual) one got clutch right?

Anybody here has a clear line cut on the problem fixed from 2007 to 2008 model?
I also test drove the 1st batch AMT from one of SA cars, no problem, smooth and I like it. But surfing around and asking around my circle of friends who owned it push me back from getting one. sad.gif

What are their comments for you?

It's normal. As far as I know you can't disable. There was once on the highway my blinkers came on for no reason (at first I thought it was no reason la hehe) then I realized what was actually going on, stopped at the side to close the boot biggrin.gif

oh i see. So it is normal. Thanks for the info.

I thought there was something wrong with the alarm or the settings. laugh.gif

And one more thing, is it possible to fix brake lock on Savvy? Anyone fixed before? Which brand is recommended and what is the price? Thanks.

Thought of buying AMT, but read a lots of problem discussed in savoc. Quite a bit worry of getting one.
How is your manual performs? Did she kacau or mengamuk?
Wondering that will P1 fix all these problems for the 2009 batch. But I guess mostly not. ohmy.gif

What are the problems discussed in savoc that you mentioning above?

regarding AMT. unsolved overheated problems. which reduce it life span.
naah. base on savoc proton discussion, proton keep saying if no warranty, LIVE WITH IT.
i dont think 2009 batch will be problem free. proton still same. maybe savoc need to discuss with MD himself b4 trying next step. haha.

Are you referring to when car is fully stop but still in D mode, no change to N, and when car not fully stopped yet but already switch to N.
These two will cause the overheat of the AMT gearbox?

yes,
when car stop, didnt change to N. amt pump will easily overheated; suddenly from D turn to M mode. those things will reduce amt lifespan. well, basically, the heat itself kill the pump.
thats y in savoc, they discuss how to reduce this heat.
though right now, i do things to prevent the pump from overheated, each time after i drive my car, i will try to touch the amt pump. its so HOT! shakehead.gif
*
What are the preventive measures are you taking right now to prevent the pump from overheat? Beside those two that mentioned above. (When car is fully stop must change to N, and when car not fully stopped yet do not switch to N. ) Thanks.

If we put D or R then without pressing the accelerate pedal and let the car move slowly by itself. Will this harm the AMT or the car? Thanks.

Need some of your valueble advices here. Thanks in advance.

When just started the engine, what is the rpm suppose to be?
And when idle, what is the rpm suppose to be?
Any idea?


Added on December 16, 2008, 2:43 pmDuring using AMT manual mode, when decreasing speed, for example when reaching a traffic light red light, need to manually shift down gears or let the system to shift down gears accordingly by itself?
Thanks.

When going for service at service center, you guys got request them to use Renaultmatic R3 SYN Oil (Fully Synthetic Hydraulic Oil) for AMT?
Or let them choose for us?
