Proton Savvy (2005 - 2012) 1.2 Style 5d Owner Review

1.2 Style 5d
Proton Savvy 2005-

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

I'm pleased with my car I've had issues but for the amount of miles I traveled I was expecting problems. It's not very happy going over 70mph but I don't find it an issue. I think It's a perfect town / city car that nips about happily. They're a rare car. The plastick is nasty and feels cheap but what do you expect from a car like this, you're not going to get the same interior of a BMW or a Mercedes, but it does the job it was meant to do. At the end of the day, it's not the fastest car you can get, it's not got the flash interior of a luxury motor but it does what you need it to do no problem. I've had a few problems with mine but overall my one has been a real work horse and worked hard and is still working hard, and she never lets me down.

How reliable do you find the car?

I bought the car with 15k on the clock 2 and a half years ago so I've put some miles on it and I have had some issues with it but I feel if you put 45k miles on a small car over the course of 2 years, you're going to get problems

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

It's got parking sensors that make parking so easy, as it's small as well. You can easily fit 4 people in it. It happily does 70mph on the motorway. It's perfect.
