2006 Proton Savvy AMT- R3 review from Malaysia
"Excellent Small Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No major problem.
AMT Gearbox Signal blink (Odometer reading 250km).Sent for 1st 1000km free service. Proton has rectified by erasing the error code. Now no problem at all.
General comments?
This car equip with R3 Zero Body Kit. Looks much better. Spacious cabin.Good handling. Sensitive steering.Comfortable seats for me.
A Renault Clio, Twingo engine suits 950kg+/- Savvy Body. Drive by wire give better response. Engine is eager to rev up to 5000rpm.
When I started to buy this car, the sales man gave me full explanation about the car. Assist me from the moment I book the car until now. Good after sales service. Until he make an appointment for me for the 1st service. Technical staff do explained to me about any technical things and how to take care of it
Heard about the all new 3 door satria model, but now 5 door is my choice for a small family. Save petrol for city driving.
Well done proton. Hope it is a turning point for Proton.
I buy proton because of the chassis, well known Renault Clio, Twingo engine, TUV approved and power to weight ratio is good enough for a small car.
(Comment from:Old Timer car enthusiast and former racer at Batu Tiga Racing Circuit).
PS: Heard Standard Savvy 1.2MT beats fully modified Perodua Myvi with roll caged at 1.3cc category.
