hi all! after reading a lot about savvy i think i'm pretty convinced to consider this car!

so i have a few question:

1. i'm a tall and heavy guy, around 185cm, am i suitable for this car?

2. backseat ok for people same height like me or not? i heard it's quite cramped and judging from the outlook i can imagine how small it is.

3. is the seat very low like wira or higher like most stardard cars?

the above 3 question will be answered instantly but i haven't got time to visit and test drive anyway so if you guys willing to answer my question i'd be really grateful.



also more question about the car:

4. how much am i expecting for installment? i think i'll go for the hi-line, with maybe 8k~10k down payment. i never buy a car before, all the while i just drive an older wira owned by my parents.

5. any great deal of maintainence problem? for some reason i don't trust EON service due to some past experiences with my wira, i let those outside SC and they did really good job, problem free, although expensive a bit but really problem free.

6. i've saw advertisement over motor trader, that someone offered the AMT Hi-Line for only 35k, brand new but old stock of 07/08. is this ok to consider? although there're quite some great deal and promotions on savvy but i can save around 8k~9k if this old stock thing is safe to buy.

i really interested in the AMT Hi-Line, and heard quite a bit of good things of the AMT, advantage of having both auto transmission and manual transmission minus the cluth (although i'm a hardcore manual driver but since i drive a lot in city so why not treat my legs and hands good? ). and due to the design, even in auto mode it won't be as thirsty as regular auto transmission right?

i'm also eyeing on the hyundai i10, they're currently bringing in the imported model in limited units, and then will start selling local assemble one. so maybe within this period has to make a decision sooner is possible. i really like the feel of i10's front/back seat, very specious and comfortable, and sitting up straight will make driving more concentrated. but if savvy is as good, of course i'd go for savvy for the transmission as well as the lower price and better fuel consumption.

thanks in advanced all sifus...

lj0000 great reply!! many thanks for all the infos!

i think i should really go test drive haha!

yeah i think those car i mentioned with cheaper price should be pre-registered car, so they're probably ready to drive. maybe i'll consider this also.

thanks for the info of the savoc.net! looks like there're tons of informations there!

as for i10, i'm aware of the tall body too, while i like how i can sit tall and straight, i'm so used to the wira super low body and i do love to do cornering with higher speed sometimes. also i'm leaning towards the AMT than full AT anyway and speaking of FC, savvy should perform even better!

one thing i don't like about the i10 is the seems-to-be false advertisement. savvy also has reinforced body like i10. and lastly the backseat is not much of a problem as i mostly intented to buy a car for 2 person only, and only once in a while fetch friends/family but almost never 5 ppl lo. but if it's not because of the tall body that i can drive comfortably, i already consider savvy very early.

i'll test drive it asap when i'm free and will report back.

PS: i really like the white or black paint or even the blue is really nice, but the AMT Hi-Line doesn't seems to offer such colour?

damn why am i discovering this promotion so late...

but i want the white with hi-line spec lar, see if can talk to them about this...

so by grabbing this promotion, i'm expecting the retail price right? (around 45k for solid paint or slightly more for metallic paint)

or maybe i also visit the pre-registered one and see what's the deal.

hi all! didn't manage to test drive the savvy today and the promotion is over.

it was a busy day today, can't manage to squeeze out an hour for the test drive. i'll keep my wira at the moment first la, no commitment also just the car quite thirsty only 1ltr/10km (i know got more thirsty car but the fuel price is a little burden for me).

love to join the club and i'm pretty looking forward to savvy, maybe will ask the pre-registered one and see, at least already know the condition and can test drive before hand out the money.

hypermount, where you'll post your comparison article? i'd really interested in the i10 vs savvy.
