Thoughts on buying one ? - Morpheus
Hi folks,

Just wondering what people's thoughts are on the Proton Savvy compared to similar sized / priced cars...

Don't see many of them about on the streets, but Autotrader (along with Daewoo Matiz and Ford Ka's) has hundreds of them...

For example 2007 (07) Proton Savvy 1.2 Street (rear parking sensors, air con etc) 1,168 miles on the clock = £4999

Sounds a great price for a car with less than 1200 miles on the clock....

The reason they are cheap is because few people know what they are and as such, need to be cheap to catch the imagination. Price is good for sure, so if thats all you care about its a great value option.

Interesting styling is about all I can say about it. Its not very frugal for a small car, is unexceptional in almost every respect and dealers are thin on the ground. Emissions are not as good as they can be, but its old-tech as Protons always are.

It really depends if you want a small car or a great small car for a little bit more cash really.
Might be hard to sell on with almost zero market awareness.

Choosing a child seat can be a quite baffling experience – there are so many sizes, types, brands and price points available that you might not know where to start.
