Oh that’s rite I heard that about it using PULP, I’d probably still use ULP and see what happens, not a lot im guessing, could be wrong though.

I know something who has been filling their Subaru Forester XT with ULP for a few months now, hasn’t been a problem yet, it is suppose to take 98 only.

Then again Subbys are built to last, this thing will probably fail to bits.

Don/t forget it requires PULP fuel [LOL] for its Renault sourced engine!!

whichever way you cut it – the Proton Savvy is a bargain if you intend it for city use only. I wouldn’t even attempt a country drive.

yea its for old people who cant afford a funeral and a casket.

save up money for a few weeks and get the new mazda 2. 950kg and a healthier engine. better driving dynamics, looks and safety. this is a no brainer. if youre gonna keep the car for a few years might as well spend a little extra to have a lot more better car. when its time to sell, you’re problably up by 2000 or more as well.

Yeah not the best looking (one positive is the exhaust is central… bit of symmetry!) or the best performance but yeah Im sure it will still get buyers at that price and fuel consumption would also be great. Dunno why the design such an ugly car though, if that car looked reasonable it would be hit no doubt but with those looks it will make many people think twice.

I dont think it looks that bad.

well, not ssangyong bad anyway!

the only bad thing about these is the performance, my god!! Made my Jazz 1.3 feel fast ( and pushbikes can beat the jazz! )

Ugly, yes.. but for the price you pay and the amount of gear you get, the buyer may not care (and probably does not value their life either). Though having said that, it may turn into a complete rust bucket by the time the warranty expires.

We all know what Jeremy Clarkson did with the Proton Perodua Kelisa, right?

Airbags – Driver & Passenger (Dual)
sorry i left that out!
no option for sides in series 1, maybe in series 2?

What about airbags? No mention, I will assume it has driver and passenger but what about side and curtain?
