hi guy,

I booked viva 1000 for my first car, but then I found this thread. It seems savvy will be more suitable for me because.

1. FC wise, savvy is about the same a viva
2. savvy is more stable on highway.
3. more powerful engine
4. back seat can fold down to put my bicycle in (viva cant)
5. abt the same OTR price (savvy lite == viva 1.0 sx)

what I am pondering right now is
a. will the maintenance cost of savvy > viva?
b. I read so many complains abt the AMT gear box problem, so am thinking to go for the manual variant, but really like the idea of AMT. Is the 2008 AMT has most these gear problem fixed?

thanks.

savvy lite price= viva 850

True... i can't take it even when the cars on the right lane is faster than me... haha
yeah after reaching 120... it still feels and sounds the same til 140 or 150... more than that i never experience before...fully depress d... still 150km/h... so sad...

urs amt or manual
mine manual can reach 160km/h up to now, the juru highway not enough to pull higher.

as far as i hv experienced , frequent redline gears will consume more fuel than just top speed driving.

yeah...agree but once u invest something dat adds power to your ride, u'll crave for more (i'm talking about me...huhuhu). and here i am, itching to install full hotbits exhaust system. the FC sure will affected, rite. that's y i'm still juggling, to go or not to go for it.  rclxub.gif

from my own experience , want but stingy , scare lose money , ai mai ai mai ,
finally nothing happen , dare dare whack the money , throw the money with condition that u can pay instalment / commitment.

It's not proton who spoil it... it's "ah ming" shop who spoil it... (Don't misunderstand, it means some chinese mudguard shop..)
Alam Megah sc is in Shah Alam, near my house Putra Heights.. just a small sc

@littleghost
How old is your car?

Oh ya... black orange.. is there any difference after using r3? Mine is Lite with the skinny rusty exhaust.. and it's really annoying everytime i rev... it takes 2 second for the rev to come back to 1k rpm... tooo much back pressure i guess??
*
yes , first gear from standstill acceleration and 1st -> 2nd gear lag reduced.

original muffler tank so big , and outer end pipe so smalll , gas stucked.
r3 muffler tank small , but pipe bigger.

damn worth biggrin.gif .

now heard is rm150 , last time price is rm305 , i go to batu kawan race got promote r3 production got rm245 like that.

but afterall after market sure better than stock la , but rm150 got s-flow muffler where to find smile.gif

Hey Asian Auto rated the Viva as the most fuel efficient car in its category with a jaw dropping 4.7l/100km (i think) followed by the hyundai i10, and then the Savvy at 5.7l/100km.

But then again Viva isn't as good looking, individualistic or fun to drive as a Savvy. i would burn that extra liter of fuel every 100km, for some fun fun fun than to drive what looks like a bar of soap.

Currently looking for a second hand savvy manual (preferably blue) 2005 version to replace my brittle 146ti as a high mileage run about car. Clutch and gearshift still rules, sorry AMT lovers, but pedal shifters is a compromise solution but not a solution.

never test drove the Savvy to be honest. Only stole my friends Savvy for a short spin round a parking lot. Enough to convince me its probably the best bang per buck. With near vertical depreciation, its the best second hand buy for the average poor Malaysian.

viva interior leg room is same as savvy.

but viva width is cramp.

but RM33k manual lite is damn worth.

spoiler n r3 muffler is compulsory biggrin.gif.

but i test drive viva 1.0 auto b4 , performance soso la.

but gen2 cps manual stock power , most awesome.biggrin.gif

right now the savvy lite still got sell or not,
