Full Road Test Perodua Myvi

Full Road Test

If you experience a sense of déjà vu when you see the Perodua Myvi, it's easily explained. No, you don't have extra-sensory powers to see into the future, but you are likely to have seen this car before - just with a different set of badges. The Myvi is Perodua's take on the Daihatsu Sirion, which itself shares the bulk of its bits with the Subaru Justy. To cap it all, all three are based on a pint-pot Toyota, though this model is not sold in Europe.

With those other companies in its credentials, there's no doubt the Myvi is the car to shake off Perodua's cheap and cheerless image in the UK. We've no doubt it will be a reliable helper when it comes to getting about, but it's a shame Perodua doesn't have quite the same confidence to endow it with anything more than a 36,000-mile, three-year warranty. This is all the stranger when Daihatsu and Subaru provide cover for 60,000 miles. Still, the Myvi is well put together, though some of the interior plastics are hard, shiny and missing the visual charm of several other rivals. Given how much Perodua charges for the Myvi, there are also no excuses on the grounds of this car being in the bargain-basement price range. For the same money as the Myvi, there are some brilliant city cars and superminis available, including the Fiat Panda and Ford Fiesta.

For the money, Perodua includes a fair amount of standard luxury gear, covering air-conditioning, CD stereo, electric windows all round, remote central locking, rear parking sensors, metallic paint and electrically adjusted door mirrors. Not on the menu, however, are side or curtain airbags, as only driver and passenger 'bags are fitted. There are also no alloy wheels on offer or sunroof of any description. On the upside, Perodua buyers can choose the EZi model to have a four-speed automatic gearbox instead of the SXi's five-speed manual. Unless you really cannot drive without the aid of an auto, we reckon you're much better off with the manual as the self-shifter dents performance, economy and emissions. The 1.3-litre petrol engine serves up reasonable performance when coupled to the manual gearbox and returns a decent, if unspectacular for the class, 48.7mpg combined economy. The EZi auto comes in at 44.1mpg, with 151g/km carbon dioxide emissions to the manual's 137g/km. Again, neither sets the class alight. It's much the same with how the Myvi drives. Around town, it has light steering and a good turning circle, which makes it a cinch to feed through narrow gaps and to park. The high-set driving position also gives a good view out and it's easy to judge where the car's extremities lie. Head beyond the city limits and the Myvi is much less at home. On the motorway, there's too much road, wind and engine noise for anyone but the most committed owner to contemplate a long journey, while country roads show up the dull handling. There's not too much body lean, but the Myvi misses the grip and balance of a Fiat Panda, and the Perodua's suspension soon looses its composure on rut-strewn roads.

Some compensation comes in the Myvi's surprisingly spacious cabin. Thanks to its tall sides and seats that put its occupants in a comfortable, upright position, there's good head and legroom. The steering wheel only adjusts for angle, but the driver's seat moves for height, so a good driving position is easily attained by most users. Rear seats space is good and the small boot is unhindered by intrusions to make the most of its 255-litre capacity. Fold the 60/40 split rear seats and you have up to 630 litres of cargo space. The Myvi also rewards with low running costs thanks to group 6 insurance and cheap servicing, but it must be remembered that it will not hold its value as dependably as some of its competition. Still, once you're over the feeling of déjà vu, you're not likely to encounter another Perodua Myvi on the road.

Comparison Perodua Myvi and Perodua Viva

Many of you would have watched the new advertisement by Perodua several days ago. Perodua is releasing a new version to replace their older models of Kelisa and Kancil. Rumor has it that the new Perodua D18B would be named Perodua Viva. How big is it? how fast it would go? which design it would take? how much will it cost? how many kilometers per liter? and so on..

The questions that emerges regarding Perodua Viva would be infinite.

Perodua Viva's Pros againts Perodua Myvi
1. Interior lenght would be slightly longer
2. Fuel consumption is better (17.4km/l)
3. Cheaper (of course). (*rumor* 1.0HG is RM38k)
4. Bigger brake lights (guess would be something like Kenari)

Perodua Viva's Cons againts Perodua Myvi
1. Interior width is slightly less wide
2. 660cc and 850cc version might be underpower
3. Design-wise, less attractive (but beauty is in the eyes of the beholder)
4. Possibility of cost reduction parts?

MPV Exora

If this is the real thing, and the price is between RM71K to RM76K, I have only 1 word for it. Wow!
[Update 16 April 2009]It’s true! The Proton Exora picture above is the real thing. Missed the launch yesterday. Did drop by a Proton Edar showroom at 6:30PM, but the car was still covered.
The close encounter was during lunch today. The Exora looks more spacious than other MPVs in its engine class. Even spacier than my 2.0 Citra.
From the front, it looks similar to a Honda, don’t you think?

The Proton Exora, is powered by a 1.6-liter CamPro CPS engine while the transmission is by Mitsubishi. For a MPV that size, not sure how’s the performance. I just hope that it will not be a big letdown like toyota Avanza 1.3. You have to test to find out, but make sure you bring along the whole family.

First impression - for the price between RM69,998 and RM75,998 with good looking exterior design, plus the spacious interior and extended warranty of 175,000km (or five years), this car will be a hot item.

Perodua ViVa Elite : a new look for the viva

Perodua launched the new Perodua ViVA Elite today, aimed at offering the market a variant with a more stylish image compared to the original ViVA. It is an aesthetic modification in the style of the Myvi SE, and at the same time they’ve revamped the model line-up a little.

The ViVA was first introduced with 660cc, 850cc, 1,000cc and 1,000cc premium variants. Now it has restructured the model lineup, offering the 660 BX MT, 660 EX MT, 850 MT, 1.0 AT, 1.0 ELITE MT, 1.0 ELITE AT, and the 1.0 ELITE EZi. That’s three different variants for the new ViVA ELITE.

Externally, the ViVA Elite has its own front bumper with integrated foglamps, front grille and its own engine hood design. On the side you’ll see chrome door handles, side skirts, and 14 inch 12-spoke alloy wheels. On the back you’ll see a new rear bumper with a honeycomb grille design, and the 1.0 ELITE EZi model (note, this is different from the ELITE AT) gets an additional rear spoiler. The windows of the ViVA Elite also feature a UV protection coating that is said to reject 91% of UV rays.

On the inside you get a new 1-DIN head unit with MP3 and WMA support, an underside tray under the passenger seat, seat backpockets, a new seat fabric design, and fabric trim on the door panels. All ViVA ELITE models will get seat height adjusters for the driver’s seat, and electrically adjustable side mirrors. On the ELITE EZi, these side mirrors are also electrically retractable and have integrated turn signals.

Only the ViVA 1.0 ELITE EZi gets a full load of safety features including dual SRS airbags for the front, ABS brakes, EBD and Brake Assist. Power steering is also only available on the ELITE models. The other non-Elite models are left with just basic features such as reverse sensors on the 850 and 1.0 model, and a CD player on the 660 EX, 850 and 1.0 model.

COMPARISON BETWEEN VIVA AND ATOS
perodua forum thread: from teruboo said
Comparing between these two cars, from my observation (Atos GLA vs VIVA
1.0 Premium),
1. Price - Not much difference. Cheaper to buy '06 Atos. '07 Atos (still
no difference) very near price to Viva)
2. Safety - P2 got ABS, EBD and airbag. Atos got none. But one thing,
Atos got solid body compare to Viva, macam tin milo.
3. Exterior - Atos got elegant body but boring, Viva like... son of Avanza
4. Interior - Viva better presentable (up to date), but looks fragile.
Better equipment such as electric mirror both adjust and fold, nice dash,
better seat adjustment and better legrom. Atos boring but solid looking,
Pioneer radio CD, more spaces to put your things etc. The cushion also
feels more durable and also double folding seats (good if going to IKEA).
But no RPM meter.
5. Engine - Viva have better performance engine but rough at high RPM
(Drive for 15 min only). Atos smoother but lack of power and fuel a
little bit bad (used Atos 1.1 for 1 month, pinjam from friend). Viva
donno of FC but usually P2 good consumption. Gearbox, Atos more smooth.
6. Stability - Atos very stable at high speed (110 to 130 km/h) but very
slow going there.
7. Resale value - Atos quite teruk but don't care coz I only sell my ride
after finished finance repayment (after 7 years).
8. Maintenance - Atos got simple engine, DIY also can. Donno bout Viva
9. Others - Atos overall macam mother's car. Viva more trendy & sporty
and got a lot of enhancement product to choose (based on MYVI)

Atos

testimonial about atos from johnboy atos thread mototrader
he said the atos is good but except the problem is:
1. the front suspension will gives you some funny noises over bumpy
road. The sime's tires are hopeless and have since changed to
14" alloy wheels and Falken tires which turns out to be good.
2. Fuel consumption is RM0.115 per kilometer and the engine
performs better than a Kenari which is very noisy.
3. The pioneer CD player is the best in it's class. You don't need
an amplifier and new set of speaker.
4. The only disappointment is the fabric seats are lousy.

just some comparison about the fuel consumption:
Atoz 1.0 manual
RM 10=70km
MyVi 1.3
RM 10=60km
Avanza 1.3
RM 10=60km

Viva
you can read about viva on this mototrader thread: viva discussion
'Viva' is probably registered by General Motors - which owns Holden and Vauxhall (UK) - but not in all countries. I don't know about Australia but there was a Vauxhall Viva sold in Malaysia in the early 1970s because my teacher drove one. It was a nice small sedan and I think it was a cloned version of an Opel. Neo was used for an engine family by Nissan but there was also a Mazda Neo which was a sister of the last Ford TX3. You see some on the roads here but it was never officially sold outside Japan. While there are some names which may have global protection concerning usage, many are country-specific so you could get the same name used by other brands in another country and unless there is enough reason for one company to demand that the other doesn't use it, usually they don't bother. that its not the first name in the world but there are have others name same like this: vauxhall viva

Perodua hit in Malaysian market

Perodua MPV will hit malaysian market!

Perodua MPV

The latest offering from Perodua, the Perodua MPV. The real name, I have no idea, but these are the pictures of it. The side view looks like a Viva, the rear view looks like a Myvi, the front view looks like the child of Viva and Myvi. Its a bit wider than the Myvi, but not that much. It has a 1.5 litre engine similar to the Avanza. Its not home made or home grown like the Proton Exora but a shared car between Toyota and Daihatsu. Don't fret so much about originality, sharing is caring after all and most car company does it. Its part of a global thing. Well, you should expect acceleration similar to the Myvi even though it has a bigger engine but its also heavier. Also expect luggage space comparable to a Viva or Avanza for that matter with all the seats up. Also expect it to have the good of Perodua quality.

It may look small, but in my theory, just like Viva, people will be surprised of how much space is inside of it. Although the Exora is larger, the Perodua MPV withs its lighter weight will have more pep that the Exora, in theory. Exora may be bigger, but so is all the other cars in the Proton range compared with Perodua, but Myvi and Viva tops its sales chart in its respected classes. So book now if you need that MPV space for your growing family..

Talk to save Proton failed

noreply@blogger.com (nanie6698) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 09:12:00 +0000

According to a report by The Edge, talks between the automaker Proton Holdings Bhd and Europe's largest car manufacturer Volkswagen AG, manufacturer of the famous Van parts --- Volkswagen, which started last year, have no enforcement after what the Malaysian government had hoped.

The weekly newspaper has reported that officials from Proton and Volkswagen had met several times, but no concrete agreement has been developed. The newspaper added that the talks were not going well and that it seems like the German carmaker has cooled somewhat, "" and less eager to date lately.

The newspaper also quoted a source familiar with the situation said: "This delay could reveal some doubts." The Malaysian government is also under pressure to get more details of the partnership for the loss-making known what Proton has lost its status as the country's largest-selling rival car manufacturer Perodua. The government assumes that messages of proton partnership with Volkswagen can help you recover.

Proton announced last week its third consecutive quarter of losses it blamed on what increased competition and sluggish sales. The company received a net loss of 281.45 million rgt for the third quarter to December compared with net income rgt has made in the previous year amounting to 86.51 million.

The Second Finance Minister Nor Mohamed Yakcop said that the government would release a statement on strategic partner of the proton in this month. Nobody knows whether it is still Volkswagen or any other company. But according to The Edge newspaper, "If this timetable is strictly adhered say sources, General Motors, the biggest carmaker in the world could be the partner of choice for Proton."

The main objective of the protons with foreign automakers with a partner provides heat to prevent a further decline in their market share as competition. It should be noted that the news has leaked of a possible partnership with Proton, Volkswagen's shares have increased, but after the news of the partnership is not confirmed, the shares of Proton will be overthrown.

Apart from Volkswagen, Proton is also in talks with GM and PSA Peugeot Citroen of France on about three Malaysian automotive firms that interest has been placed on the acquisition of shares in the company expressed. It should be noted that the Malaysian government, 59 percent of Proton, including a share of 43% of Khazanah Nasional, has held the investment arm of the government.

How to increase car performance

noreply@blogger.com (nanie6698) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 08:58:00 +0000

Good way to save on oil is to use Perodua Viva.

Due to down turn of world economic car manufacture around the world try to produce car which is small engine power (cc), less fuel consumption, more performance, environmental friendly, easy maintenance, small design, futuristic features and not to forget digital control. As we know new generation car will control by performance chip.

In our country Malaysia one of the successful car maker was Perodua beside Proton. Below is a picture taken from Viva engine which is installed with so called magnetic fuel saver.

There is several way how to increase your car performance. Like what my friend told me that you can use magnet from computer hard disk and place it on fuel pipe line on your car engine no matter what brand is your car.

Another way to increase your car performance was install with Hydro fuel. Hydro fuel is a technique to combine hydrogen gas with normal petrol. This hydrogen gas was extracted from water and sent to engine to burn together with petrol. To know more about hydro fuel you can read previous post on this blog.

So beside you got extra power you also save your car's fuel consumption. Below is a illustration how the technology can save fuel and increase performance.
Like what my friend say "Macam ada turbo"

*Note: The calculation are not scientifically proven but according to driver which was admit and feel the change (their car) in their daily driving.

Perodua Viva Review

by Nanie6698

The launch of the Perodua Viva has met with enthusiastic anticipation. Since it is slotted to eventually replace the Kancil / Kelisa, many people who are Perodua fans were very keen as the when the car will be launched and finally shown to the public. Eagerly anticipated, the Viva does not disappoint. It is a off course wider and longer externally than the cars it replaces. The Viva is 10 even mm longer than the Myvi, at 1845 mm. For those with growing a family, it offers significantly more cabin volume than the Kancil and Kelisa. Thumbs up here.

A new feature in the Perodua Viva are doors that open to a class-leading 90Ã‚Âº wide angle. This means getting in and out will be very convenient, not to mention those time when you have to transport a fairly large objects like small furniture. Luggage carrying capacity has also increased with rear folding seats.

The dashboard have hints from the old Kelisa but more attractive. The steering wheel also carries a more modern look and feel.

For the driver, 3 engine choices are available. The EF-VE 660 cc, ED-VE 850 cc and EJ-VE 1.0 liter; all three cylinder powerplant with 12-valve units and DOHC, electronic fuel injection and DVVT – dynamic variable valve timing. Power output for the 660 is 47 bhp at 7,200 rpm, while maximum torque is 58 Nm at 4,400 rpm. The 850 churns out 52 bhp at 6,000 rpm (and 76 Nm at 4,000 rpm), while the top end 1.0 liter engine pumps out 60 bhp at 6,000 rpm (and 90 Nm at 3,600 rpm). Kerb weight starts from 755 kg for the 660 to 800 kg for the 1.0 liter auto.

To cater to a wide range of potential owners, Perodua is releasing the Viva in many variants, in solid and metallic colour as well and manual or auto. Prices for the 660 goes for RM28,400 (solid) and RM28,800 (metallic), while the 850 is priced at RM32,500 (solid) and RM32,900 (metallic). For the 1.0 SX, it’s RM36,800 (solid) and RM37,200 (metallic); the 1.0 EZ is RM39,800 (solid) and RM40,200 (metallic), while the 1.0 SXi is RM40,800 (solid) and RM41,200 (metallic).

Finally, the 1.0 EZi, which goes for RM43,800 (solid) and RM44,200 (metallic); all prices are on-the-road, with insurance. And for a first, the Viva comes with a three-year warranty.

A good bargain. If the Kancil and Kelisa sales figures were a gauge, the Viva will give good sales to Perodua for several years to come.
