What does it cost?
For The Savvy is one of the cheapest cars in the UK to buy and own, and comes with decent equipment: air-conditioning, electric front windows and alloy wheels.
Against The Savvy's gruff 1.2-litre engine doesn’t feel much quicker than a 1.0-litre. On top of that, it isn’t keen to rev and becomes wheezy and noisy at motorway speed.
What Car? says
Ultimately, there is no choice: if you want a Savvy, this is the only model. However, before you buy, be aware that there are plenty of better alternatives.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
Like the Satria Neo, as a piece of engineering, the Proton Savvy can't really cut it against its direct supermini rivals. If you're tempted by one, only sign on the dotted line after you have thoroughly tested the car's rivals.
Ultimately, this is a purchase you justify solely on value for money, something Proton are renowned for. However, it doesn’t stop at the list price. There's a prominent section on the company's website detailing the latest special offers, and these have included things like free leather upholstery and discounts of as much as £2500 on certain models.
To save you the bother of constantly logging on, you can also supply your email address via the website, which will allow the company to keep you up-to-date with all the latest offers
