Savvy is the better car. No kidding. Excellent ride and handling, superior suspension, stable on highway at high speed, cheap maintenance, relatively problems free.

The only thing Myvi has an edge is bigger space…other than that…crap handling, floaty on highway, suspension sucks and just inferior in about every way. In terms of comfort, Savvy is more comfortable, but in terms of engine queitness, the Myvi wins a bit as the Savvy engine has the charateristeric to roar a little.

really feels like real ppl talking.

thanks a load guys!

how stupid!!!

Savvy comes from Proton which we know have a lot of reliability issues with their car since day 1.. Savvy may be proton concept of "My First Lotus" but it's still not as great as what Proton boast… No comment on it's looks…

The MyVI is actually a great car because it is copy and paste of Daihatsu Sirion, Boon and Toyota Passo… Nothing to be proud of owning this car…

Bottom line is, If you want a REAL reliable compact car.. Get a Suzuki Swift..

It's for both you petrol heads and sane drivers…

mmmmm…….myvi vs savvy?????………

i prefer myvi………………

but i do heard complaint about myvi…

it’s about tyre…any idea???

dear pungit…

regarding the tyres, my moms myvi recently blew a tyre, n rode from puchong 2 cheras on 3 tyres.. (impresive!!) but the bloody tyre costs RM180!! the shop told my mom that the tyre is 1 of a kind.. n someore have 2 order!! no ready stocks..

Savvy la. I have one, can outrun a 2.0 litre car on east west highway. Corners feel soconfident. But, passengers will be in for a rough ride. Like I care.

i prefer myvi………………

but i do heard complaint about myvi…

it's about tyre…any idea???

And for who to save your money due to oil price getting up…Below are the comparison:

from proton website(FUEL CONSUMPTION @ 90 KM/H):

Savvy 1.2L manual: CONSTANT 5.3 L/100km

from perodua website(?):

myvi: (not published) ???

from daihatsu australia website(Fuel economy ADR 81/01 Test standard):

sirion 1.3L SX auto: Combined 6.4 L/100km

sirion 1.3L SX manual: Combined 5.8 L/100km

also i would like to say

SAVVY dun have automatic transmition

MYVI have it both .

I will buy Savvy if they offer AT model

if not i will go for MyVi .

just a rm50k car … heck care

now my kelisa already 3 yrs old i never have power window problem , and 3 yrs i never go "ah peng" service center i only go to Perodua Services center.becoz ah peng dun really know about this kelisa much, and perodua Service center charges is reasonable . is cheap . problem now the car is already 3 yrs , problem is coming be it comes to me i got to change new car !!!

MYVI and Savvy is my only choice to have ….

damm it MVYI

For those who are about to buy your first cars lets give Proton a fair chance now, as I am very sure Proton has taken the very first positive step by removing Tengku Mahaleel (as well as Mahathir's grip). Lets support the industries as they provide jobs (not only in Proton but the supporting industries), pay taxes and the money is not taken out of the countries (though some did end up in certain people's pockets).

As for why a lot of people go for MyVI, it is normal for people to make decisions based on popularity – "the majority of people could not go wrong concept" but then who knows 55,000 people could be making a mistake? This Raya season be prepared to be hogged by the growing numbers of the slow MYVI on the roads or be endangered by the poor handling of the cars as the drivers make an effort to exceed 100 kmh speed.

For those who wrote and gave outrightly biased judgement, save your money buy an Altis or a Civic. Based on my experiences you cannot go wrong with these two cars unless you are really unlucky.

My comment – the Savvy is good if it is your second car (you have a better and bigger car to travel long distance) while the MyVI is the right choice if it is the only car that you can afford.

Happy Motoring, Drive Safely and Don't Rod Hog

from outside myVi look better to me.

anyway i never test drive any of those cars… so can't coment on other aspecs

my 2c.

Mesti org kata Perodua savvy bagus…dan jualannya meningkat hingga ke ratusan..

Pasai org kata Perodua tak banyak problem compare ngan proton. Pasai Proton pula mempunyai bad history ngan keretenya yg lepass…

For me, Proton Savvy is a good car in all aspect except spacious. Myvi pula, i rasa there's nothing special for me, sebabnya wife i pun pakai Myvi 1.3. I rasa underpower la , dah la tu kuat telan minyak…la ni Myvi i dah ada mcm2 bunyi tikus kat dlmnya mcm skru longga, sampai la ni tak dpt detect . Dlm masa 2 bulan ni 4 kali ulang alik kat servis centre.

Kepada pemilik Proton Savvy pula, i rasa u all have made a good choice. Forget about the proton bad history. This car really great…drive like a european car. I already test it few times..One day,I rasa Savvy will be malaysian choice when proton launch auto transmission & comes with ABS/airbag soon.

Bagi i,Myvi ni cantik kat Showroom aje, atas jalan nampak mcm Dumbo (anak Gajah) terutama rear design…..Tak elok langsung mcm gajah duk nak berak.

Hell, I'm all SOLD, SAVVI it is…..

Geez, I've never had a Perodua before, all my life I've been driving Protons and liked them very much (not Tiara of course, just the 1.5 megavalve, a 1.5 Iswara Sedan and a 1995 1.5 Wira. While still driving the Wira 1.5 (carburater model) I bought a Wira 1.3 manual for my mom (97)….. Finally, got enuff money to try something else out, got a 2nd hand CBU 2 liter Mitsubishi. Culture shock!!!!, the car at 7 or 8 years old, better in everything, every conceivable nook and corner, every aspect than any of the NEW Protons I have. Then my fren with a 1 year old Perdana (V6, not the old OSHC 16valve) tested my car and cursed…… The 1 year old Perdana got an invisible mouse, always squeeking away, but can never catch the Mouse, "Standard lah"

In 02, I bought a Wira 1.5 A, for my mom. From day 1 there were problems, suspension got mouse, squeeking away, check wit Proton, they say "checked and adjusted" on the service invoice sheet….. complain again, they say "Standard la", the petrol cover doesn't close, small problem, just the plastic hinge defective, check with them, "check and adjusted"… same problem, "standard la….", of course the legendary invisible mouse that squeeks away, one that no mouth traps can help.

I've never owned a Perodua before, but the next car I should buy, if in that price range, I won't buy a Proton. 20 years of crap is enuff to last a long time. If Proton doesn't have any quantum leap in design and quality soon, it's a goner. So are all your own hard earned money because you'll be force to pay SO MUCH for it, since they're gonna outlaw other car brands soon to protect Proton.

You see, the car actually was able to take the beating from a butt-scratching monster, being hurled at a concrete wall and the two posers inside were still high on the unbeatable sound system.

Furthermore, the Savvy can reach Singapore faster than the time I take to get into my car and start the engine. That's furious speeds there man.

So far the Myvi can only do things that ordinary cars can do, so no competition there.

Now I wish to have my own car – Savvy or Myvi? Please God, my dream car is Getz. ha ha ha but can only afford those two! and reading all comparisons made by all you make me feel dizzy. Now I prefer something I really can't afford – LRT!
