"The city car Proton Savvy used to be good value, but the market has moved on, leaving the best in class afterwards."

The Proton Savvy is a five-door city car that was originally created as an alternative to the Fiat Panda, Toyota Aygo and Citroen C1 to life in the year of 05. However, the city-car class has moved on, and the latest models hit the Savvy for size, efficiency, performance and comfort. The single-engine option is a 1.2-liter gasoline Renault come, but it is noisy and inefficient, if you choose manual or automatic transmission. Inside build quality is poor, the passenger space is tight for four, and the boat is small.

MPG, Rates & CO2 runs

2.2 / 5

Latest rivals are more efficient

the savvy 1,2-liter petrol engine comes from Renault, but it is old and can not compete with newer rivals for the fuel efficiency. The fuel consumption of 49.6mpg is a way short of the claimed figures for the Skoda Citigo (62.8mpg) and Peugeot 107 (66.0mpg). And while some competitors are able, for tax-free road under the 100g / km barrier to drop, means a band E rating of Savvy in the same category as the 1.6 petrol Ford Focus, so control is quite expensive.

motors, drive & Performance

1.2 / 5
[1945076Fun] to drive, but transmission is poor

The proton Savvy has been voted by British sports car company Lotus, so it has sharp handling and excellent steering performance for a city car. What's more, the engine is very responsive, although the notchy gearbox soon every driving pleasure spoils you. The automatic is even worse.

Interior & Comfort

1.5 / 5

bumps the interior thudding through

Soft suspension means the Savvy is comfortable on smooth roads, but once you hit a bump, you know it will be sent. The suspension can not absorb the shocks, so that the passengers feel any unevenness of the road. The engine noise is a problem, when you reach highway speeds, such as the 1.2-liter gets louder when the speed increase.

practicality & trunk

2 / 5

Rivals provide more space and greater versatility

the Savvy accommodate four on board, and because it received more than a Citroen C1, the rear passengers more legroom as a result. Boot space is also better than in the C1, and split rear seats 50:50 and folded down. But the Skoda Citigo and SEAT Mii have better packaging and have more space inside, while the build quality Proton is very poor compared to the newer models.

reliability and safety

2.2 / 5

guarantee coverage is good, safety kit less

The proton Savvy sold in such small numbers that it never appears in satisfaction surveys, so it is difficult to quantify, such reliable it is. However, the Renault engine has been a while, so that all their problems should be already aware. The Savvy is offered with a three-year unlimited mileage warranty plus RAC breakdown cover for the same period, for added peace of mind. There is not much safety kit, because you only get two airbags and side impact protection. Electronic stability control is not even an optional extra.

price, price-performance ratio and options

2.3 / 5

you can far better cars for the same money to get

Savvy is priced rivals such as the Peugeot 107 and to fit Skoda Citigo, but that proton feels cheap compared to its two rivals. You get sensors reversal, Alloy wheels, Isofix child seat mountings, air conditioning and a Clarion stereo, but lacks kit like an MP3 player connection, while the electronic stability control, which is a security essential is not offered at all , And while rivals offer a variety of customization options, Metallic paint is the only extra on the Savvy.

" with a price tag of £ 7295, the Savvy is the cheapest proton you can buy - so what you get for your money gets Well, not bad looking car ?. the Savvy is the beginning and is light years away from his gentle predecessor. It is to go in order, with a decent ride and handling balance. "

"the Savvy is a small petrol engine of proton, which was developed as a better value as an alternative to the mainstream car the Ford Ka. It is certainly cheaper new, but unfortunately, that the poor quality interior and overall low-budget feel not justify. "
