Proton Savvy (05-12) rivals
Overview
The Savvy is a small hatchback from Proton that’s designed to be a better value alternative to more mainstream cars like the Ford Ka. It’s certainly cheaper new but unfortunately that can’t justify the poor quality interior and overall low budget feel. On the plus side, standard equipment is good with air conditioning, electric windows, parking sensors and alloy wheels all included on the most popular Style model while there’s reasonable room for four adults and a week’s shopping.
But that doesn’t prevent the Savvy from feeling dated and although cheap, other small cars represent better value for money.
