Proton Savvy Fuel Consumption & Maintenance Cost

Hi, to all those curious about Proton Savvy fuel consumption  here is the summary. I am using Proton Savvy for almost 2 years now, and pretty satisfy with the overall performance and cost. I bought the car for only RM 35000. Some said that Savvy's engine has lots of problems, so far, I haven't encounter any. Maybe the servicing cost is a little bit higher compare to Perodua Kancil 850EZi (I'm using this car before Proton Savvy), but it is still affordable. In the manual booklet, they recommend owners to service the car at 10000km interval, which will greatly reduce the burden to pay for each service session. As a conclusion, I love this car. 

Attached also the screen shot of "Road Trip" apps that I have used for almost a year to track my car fuel consumption and maintenance cost. You can purchase and download Road Trip for your IOS device here.
