julianLee is just a kutu riding on a dog. how to drive a car?

Go back to your stupid myvi club forum where you belong!

It is the whole car package that counts, perhaps there are some still have ill feelings about the manufacturer because after 3 years, Savvy still not proven to be a “lemon”

Try to let go and enjoy your ride

“Paul Tan: Julian-Lee you better get the hell out of my blog if you’re going to keep posting crap like what you do.”

is this is you making the shout Paul? well if it is, I don’t blame you. She deserve those, and thanks for representing my thoughts.

Paul Tan says: it’s not me… someone impersonating.

anyway, based on uncle style driving, I can get 18-19km/L or RM0.14-RM0.15 per km. beat that vivi owners :p

This car has served me well for more than 70 000 km in less than 3 years, y.’t ask for more alread

“We are a clown because we drive a Savvy. It is a stupid car because of window design and doesn’t have a LEDs tailight”

Try tell the petrol kiosk attendent that your car is not a driven by a clown and your car design is not stupid, see whether they will give you a discount when refuelling :p

At least most of us Savvy owner out there won’t feel that much pinch in the pocket when refuelling…

im aware of all those vehicles and thier past success. but i think most consumers dont go for thier products. they are just there if another company wants a cheap good tuning for thier cars. instead of wasting thier own engineers time and money on it.

wats the point of engineering a savvy to handle that much power when you dont need to. epscially this car is on the extreme budget scale and almost 99.99% of the time the car will be fitted with an engine that wont produce more than 120ps. just because fiat owns ferrari doesnt mean a fiat would handle like a ferrari.

can a driver of 1.75m fit in savvy well?? im thinking of having savvy next yr….
———————————————————

I think you can. I am 1.80m and quite big sized and test-drove my friends Savvy manual and I felt the cockpit was quite a good fit for me. The Savvy is fun to drive although I feel that the engine should be bigger to make it go faster. Throughly enjoyed driving the Savvy even though it was for a short while.

Btw, i like the 2nd white car with the KL view design. Quite cool actually and I wouldn’t mind having it…unless somebody else has the same design :p

I’m wondering tho, since for engine transplants people usually say that it needs to be from the same company for a good fit then is replacing the 1.2L engine with a bigger version Renault engine possible? Or will the engine bay just not fit?

Been driving a Savvy since August 05 clocking up 90000kms already and here is my honest opinion of the Savvy.

Maintenance wise, yes it’s more expensive compared to a Kelisa. I guess it boils down to economies of scale. There are more parts for the Kelisa compared to the Savvy. An OEM timing belt kit for the Savvy is RM380+ and to some of you it may seem way expensive and to me having previously owned a Iswara 1.3 , yes it is indeed expensive.

But lately a lot of OEM parts have cropped up and it’s much cheaper. Oil filter used to cost RM40, now costs only RM16. Air filter used to cost RM118 – not cost only RM50. BTW I use washable airfilter for the Savvy costing RM150 – good bargain in my opinion. Not sure about yours.

Rattling noises – plenty after 3 years of ownership but then so was my Iswara. I guess it’s the hallmark of a Proton. I always joked with my friends about owning a proton. If your Proton doesn’t emit annoying noises then there’s something wrong with it. :p

But overall the driving the Savvy is oh so much more engaging and fun compared to my Iswara. I’ve driven the Kelisa and Atoz and seriously though both are economical to drive and maintain – it lacks driving excitement. Yes I may sound corny to some of you but the thing is – if some of you haven’t driven the Savvy – you are missing the drive of your life. I mean at RM40000 – where on earth you could buy a new car with good handling.

If you want get from Point A to Point B car – by all means get the Kelisa or Myvi. But if you want to get from Point A to point B with some zip zagging then the Savvy is for you.

How about a 280ps 3.5V6 engined with a kerb weight of 1350kg? That’s the Evora.

LG did the design of the Savvy though. Wasn’t Lotus. Even Koreans let the Europeans do their styling. Saw the Pininfarina sticker on a Matrix?

You reap what you sow man.

You are a mindless simpleton
You have nothing to contribute to life
Your website sux coz its everybody’s thoughts and not yours.
Why don’t you just die and give other people more worthy to have your share of oxygen.

The Savvy is currently the only car with more continental input than any of Proton’s car at the moment. I like it. I will buy it if somebody from Proton can tell me if I can cram a Clio Renaultsport 127 engine in it.

savvy? its rubbish compared to the hyundai i10
_____________________________________________________

then,
JULIANLEE2? his rubbish compared to all Malaysians…
(an hey, everybody is entitled for their opinion right…?)

Abt step-up door, I read from motortrader saying the designer was inspired by F22 raptop. Dare anyone say a fighter jet-influence on Lamborghini Reventon makes it ugly? So what’s with the bias?

Anyway, proton owners shud b proud today, they’re now seen as ppl who are rich enuf to maintain them!! Even merc’s maintenance is cheaper than proton’s . Heck, i shud pester my dad to change his waja to c-class cuz maintenance is cheap n 2nd hand value is high mah[/sarcasm]

It was recorded that Savvy had achieved 23km/liter (4.2liter/km) way back in 2006..
that would translate to 54mpg.

but then it might not recognized internationally..

you could google them out. search for “Savvy fuel economy record”
