Auto analysts I spoke to feel PROTON was being very “strange” about their colour schemes for the Savvy. At launch, only three colours were available, and none were light. Light colours can add a dimension of size to smaller cars.

There was also an absence of light solid colours, usually added to the economy range of a carmaker to make it cheaper (evidenced by the 1.3 Gen2 range).

…and proton has just launched it's semi-auto version of savvy 3 days back (that i'm actually waitin for).

argh…!!!

For those of you who are eyeing at Savvy, please go hesitate to go for test drive on MT and AMT then decide what is best for you. For me, the AMT offers the same performance and responsiveness of Savvy MT plus the convenience of Automatic. This makes it a real fun car to drive in all traffic conditions.

One remark though, the Auto mode (D) is a bit jerking when switching gear during the test drive. This is most likely due to the Quickshift gearbox in the AMT that is known for quick to shift but slow to adapt.

I am getting my Savvy AMT next week, so I am looking forward to reading more REAL experiences from the REAL AMT owner in the near future.

I am happy to share with you my AMT experience when I get my car next week.

Not sure about the mantainance? Proton expert pls advice..

So, over the years I've owned Mazda Familia 1.5A (1995 version-this model is the same design as ford lynx), Opel Astra 1.6MT (1996), Opel Vectra 2.0A (1996) and recently Toyota Avanza 1.3A (2005).

Let just say, I have driven japan cars and continental cars. I tell you, if you have driven continental car, drive japanese car wont be the same.

Now I got a new job at kl. I could not bring any of my car here coz the taxes are very high. (even after 10 years).

As promised earlier I will only drive proton when I here. I've test drive various produa & proton cars but there only one car that marely close to the comfort continenental car. And you've guest it… its proton savvy.

Even the salesman told me of the different reverse gear position, I was not suprised coz the technology is the same as my 1996 Opel Astra.

I am glad now that I can still feel the confort of continental car when driving my apple green proton savvy 1.3MT.

Suprise proton can come up with this car the same time I got transfered to KL.
