Even though it is UK specs, the basic structure of the car (Proton Impian) is the same…as far as crash test is concerned….and I expect no significant structural difference between the local waja and the UK one.

So izuden is talkign rubbish that the local waja will only score 1 or 2 stars. One look and we will know waja is a strong car, and savvy is even much stronger since it's made of a better grade steel.

I salute Proton's improvements. As far Myvi, I personally think it is an overrated car…it doesnot give me a safe feeling driving it! I'll prefer Savvy anytime.

BTW i heard he mentioned that "Impian which is little less than the avensis"…wat is tat "little" different between the price of a potong impian and toyota avensis? any idea?

Surprised that potong is competing the price with the likes of toyota, honda and even continental cars…boleh ka??

When you think of it… I mean as a Malaysian, what statistic we have about Malaysia road accident, like what car, how fast, any death or serious injury etc. It won't be so obvious if the majority of it is Proton or Perodua. But what I would like to point out is can the death toll can be reduce if proton or perodua make more safe car? Engineering solution must come first…

Hyundai 10 years old? mind you lah… since 1940's hyundai is there already. Like Honda, they started to supply Japanese co (Honda started as a co to supply Toyota!) BTW, the Impian is equip with 6 bags, abs+ ebd and with those equip this bulky face of Mahathiu is darn heavy ! And you can compare the price of Impian, Fiesta and Avensis (which is design in German anyway, both of thr Toyota's and Ford)

waja is sedan and myvi is hatchback. smaller the car,more dificult to set the crumpy area dude.if myvi is harder as waja,probably the car less broken but the driver n passenger more severe bcos of the momentum.i think

The reason the MYVI bonnet is soft is for the safety of the victim that was hit. It is meant to cushion the impact therefor minimising the risks for the victim. As for the strength of the A pillar, nobody knows how strong or weak it is. Do not simply shoot off comments about the MYVI or any car being weak without sufficient proof.

If anybody has done any research, it clearly shows that the MYVI and some new Perodua cars have two bars alongside the door panels to help protect people within the cabin. It does not matter how big or small the car is. Watch the video till the end if you know what I mean.

Till then, I think nobody should question the integrity of whatever car whatsover until it is proven.

Hohoho , my thoughts exactly.

u mean they have separate factories producing waja and impian aa? no lah… all came from the same factory… just the fit and finish quality and the accessories are different, the body is still the same…

remember those were export quality wajas. so the 3 star in europe is not applicable in msia.

Edw,

Duh! I knew that.. i wasn't trying to be accurate, that is approximation. Mat Salleh use 0-60m/h when they are judging a car's acceleration capabilities meanwhile we use 0-100km/h.

Is 60 miles equals to 100 km? hell no.. but we use it because it is easier to remember.

If I want to be accurate, 65mph is 104.60736kmph. You are still wrong.

By: Edw

Edw — Tue, 11 Oct 2005 18:03:01 +0000

Rosdi,

65mph is actually 104kmh, just take mph multiply 1.6 = kmh

haha my mistake…60mph equivalent to 100 km/h. a little too shocked lookin at the rumbled impian a.k.a waja as i saw most of these kids modified their waja and 'fly' around he road and would they ever think how they 'look' when they sit in this pile of 'sached' iron..

October 11, 2005 @ 11:23 am

heh..whatever excuse given by pro-myvi (myvi â€œmalangâ€ owner) canâ€™t deny the fact that the mawi soo tin miloâ€¦even an untie can press its bonnet to dent..dont compare it to sirion,boon whatsoever la..cos mawi owner here in malaysia got conned..Perodua is selling toyota/daihatsu name to boost it selling figureâ€¦in fact..the quality between myvi and those boon/sirion..like heaven and hellâ€¦"

Hohoho , this is what I define as , 'Over-protective' by the P1 Supporters. Lets not compare to Chinese fakes with the Original cars. Because the Chinese engineers only copied the looks , well I don't believe they had the interior blueprints anyway. So their fakes are most probably not well constructed in the structure of the car. P2/Toyota/Daihatsu is different , do note that P2 have the prints to the car , and whatever quality issues that happen after that might have something to do with Toyota/Daihatsu.

Oops , there I go again – The overprotective issue , Out.

Eh! You all never go school, ah? 1mph is equivalent to 1.61kmh (approx). Click here for more info: http://www.sciencelab.com/data/conversion_calcula...

Rosdi — Tue, 11 Oct 2005 14:30:17 +0000

Hoi.. simple math also cannot get it right ah? Go to google and type this:

'65 miles in kilometer'

Without the quote of course. See what you get?

ei….i thought 40m/h is equal to 88km/h?

By: phillys

phillys — Tue, 11 Oct 2005 13:59:00 +0000

abu, I'm sorry but you are wrong. 100kmph is actually 62.5mph. So, 40mph would actually be 64kmph.

By: abu

abu — Tue, 11 Oct 2005 13:28:35 +0000

30mph equivalent to 100 kmph so 40 probably is abt 110 – 120. tats our highway speed buddy…if u are driving at that 'legal' speed and imagine u knock a buffalow which is similiar to a 'concrete' wall…wat will this tell u? 3 stars for a speed of 100 -130 is not really acceptable as ppl are driving around that speed these days and cars are designed to run at that speed! unlike my first datsun who has a top speed of 110

By: Rosdi

Rosdi — Tue, 11 Oct 2005 13:21:21 +0000

Cyrus, correct.. 40mph or 65kmph.. err.. you mean 'properly' right? not 'probably'. hehe…

Hi all... you wanna see the real crash test on a Kancil... see this... http://paultan.org/archives/2005/10/02/gory-car-c... (Edit: Geocities sites are notorious for it's "bandwidth exceeded" messages.)

By: Cyrus

Cyrus — Tue, 11 Oct 2005 12:43:15 +0000

Rosdi,

Listen probably to the video.. the guy said 40mph, not 65mph, and it is a NCAP crash test.

Whatever car u drive, if u get your speed more than 100kph, u will get yourself into risk and dangers. Not doubt for that.
