Proton Savvy

Packed to the gunwalls it may be, but there's not much else to like about the Savvy

With a price tag of £7,295, the Savvy is the cheapest Proton you can buy – so what do you get for your money? Well, not a bad looking car for starters. The Savvy stands out and is light years away from its bland predecessors. It's okay to drive too with a decent ride and handling balance.

However, that's about where the good news ends. The 75bhp 1.2-litre engine is coarse and lacking in punch, while refinement is pretty poor in general. Cabin quality isn't great, nor is the level of space on offer too.

And while the Savvy is not short of equipment – alloys, air-con, electric windows and rear parking sensors are standard – it misses out on the basics with no adjustment for the steering wheel at all. Factor in dire residual values and we'd advise you to look elsewhere.
