***PROTON SAVVY***
I've bought a new car 3 month ago. It was a Proton Savvy that based on Renault component (mostly). It was a good car actually and even owned a safety certificate from the TUV the only Proton car that owned it. I've read a lot on the blog,forum and internet about the feedback for this car. The result? 80% giving bad feedback and this is why I don't understand??? Actually, I feel the same problem of this car either like what they said in the internet. It maybe because I don't understand about Renault component since i was dealing a japanese car and never deal with conti car. For the first time i was really frustated with this car problem. But still manage to outcome it. The reason why people giving bad comment for this car is, do they even understand Renault car?? I mean, most of them were driving japanese spec car and the old model Proton car were mostly run on Mitsubishi spec. Imagine, they used to drive japanese spec car like god and some even know how to fix their own car like a pro! Suddenly, get a Savvy and complain about that car like a shit. Question is, do they even understand what is the problem of that Savvy??? Because this Proton Savvy is totally different from the others Proton model "not saying the new Proton model". The parts,engine and accesories were all OEM!!! Mean that it wasn't originally from the Proton. Proton only used they own name on the import parts and making it freaking expensive! A lot of people complain about the price of the parts too and also the main reason to why people hate this car. So, be a smart Savvy owner and get the original Renault parts. That would only cost you at least 40% cheaper than OEM. ;-)
What really caught me to this car is, the engine was totally from Renault and even the ECU also printed Renault trademark! So, what can i say is this Proton Savvy is a Renault car and use Proton bodystyle. So, please keep in mind that, when you get yourself a Savvy, you are getting a Renault car. Nothing bad about this car. The handling and the performance parts were all in and what important is, fuel consumption. 1.2cc car saved your annual roadtax payment and saved your fuel. If you are looking for "torque",this car might not suitable since it's a fuel saver car. If you are looking for fun drive and comfort, this car is really recomended. Mine is manual year 2005 and I'm a 2nd owner of this car. Proton has stop the production for this Savvy model on 2011 due to mass complain from buyer. So, i can only get a used model Savvy but with a very cheap price.
Here's some picture of my Proton Savvy for you.
