Tahun lalu Proton Gen-2 diberi gelaran ini, Worst Car Of The Year oleh AutoZine (Majalah Kereta). Tahun ini giliran satu lagi kereta keluar Proton iaitu Savvy pula mendapat gelaran yang sama bagi tahun 2006.

At the first sight, the Savvy looks quite promising. Its exterior design has its own personality. Its ride and handling was tuned by Lotus. Its chassis is quite stiff and its hydraulic power steering is honest. The car is competitively sized and provides competitive passenger room.

Unfortunately, the rest of the car fall short of international standard by a large margin. First of all, the cabin is poorly finished with bad quality plastics, poorly fitted switch gears and filmsy air vents. Above the passenger glovebox is an ugly big hole, ah, it is for fitting the optional air bag. Western buyers will be shocked that the not-so-cheap Savvy does not offer any air bags as standard in its domestic market. Nor there is any power rear windows. The driving position is definitely more ergonomical than Gen.2, but a fixed steering wheel is by no means world class.
