why MyVi Not MyK
like
kancil, kenari, kembara, kelisa,

suck car high price

and btw, JC can go f spider.

Talking about Malaysian cars ONLY, not other world class cars that cost a bomb here. Should Savvy toughness & handling be considered normal, then Kancil/Kelisa/Myvi would rank as below standard. Am I happy with those selection? Well, I am not but what choice do I have with those budget?

On JC. The British pride themselve to be fair, open minded and a person/cpg is innocent till proven guilty, don’t judge a book by it’s cover and all. I see none of those from JC. Just my opinion.

I am afraid I would have to disagree with what ingolstadt said about “JC don’t thrash good cars” statement. According to this website, Top Gear actually liked the Proton Gen2 except built quality. So why did he trash, even before testing it out, the Savvy which is even better then the Gen2 imho?

That is the narrower perspective of yours, that states and regards Savvy as better than Gen2. I didn’t mean Savvy is worst. BUT, they are two different thing. You remembered what makes JC said “Take it off from the screen, i dont wanna see it in my life again.” ? It’s because of Proton, not generally Savvy, but Proton. The company that thought there were enough idiots out there who would buy the idea of “My first Lotus” …. See wat i mean? Its not only the car itself, its the intention behind, the passion within, or the idioticity that surrounds…. By the way, Savvy is a bad car. That is, IMO.

Built tough …. when its just another normal car
Sporty …. lousy performance.
My first lotus …. Everyone’s last Proton

from what i know of the singapore car market, the savvy is outselling the myvvi there.

BTW… iguana,..
It’s easy, malaysian still stuck at CHEAP!. not about practical and tehcnologies, and anything u name it. duit RM2 nak beli ferrary, standard la..

And i really hate, no matter it’s Myvi change to Passo, Wira to Evo.. Etc..
WTH!?? Proud to be fake? Duhh…. mentallity past now and then! ever!..

Errr Myvi to UK?
Even their Que list pun tak habis lagi? jangan mengarut talking rubbish la..
my friend waiting since months ago tak dapat2 lagi.. berbulan2 tunggu.. nak ambil duit booking pun tak boleh.

..the other issue regarding modding the MyVis into Passo thingy…well this is more of a hobby and wanting to be different..rather than being a wannabe…ask any MyVi owner..if given the choice would they rather own a Passo or a MyVi….well I would say 99.9% would go for the Passo…IF…Passo cost as much as a MyVi….so now you see the rational behind all these ppl going to the kedai potong?….this is because the blardy G with all those un-fair duties made all the originals so damn exspensive…..

if u are sporean and both car myvi and passo r sold there..which one do u choose??

Another toy for the pompous english car reviewer to smash up into pieces

I dont really think so. We ‘might’, ’somehow’ see some changes. Myvi is not a bad car. JC dont thrash good cars. There’s an episode where he reviews all Korean and Malaysian made cars, Getz went thru the test, however fail seriously in the essence of Malaysian and Korean car, it costs very near as a VW Polo … thats where JC points it out.

firstly, i think the savvy isnt a hot hatch and doesnt claim to be, when i first heard that saying, my first lotus, i was also laughing my head off, but after doing further research, the term really means, built with lotus design principles.. namely, no frills, lightweight, well balanced chassis, suspension tuned for handling. and after the driving the car, it they they pretty much got it right.

whatever it is, good for perodua. i really hope they can sell plenty of cars there in the UK. their previous models have really been ‘bashed’ hard by the british media in the past, hope they get better response this time round.

3 same cars selling under 3 different brands, with 3 different pricing and accessory packages…

so seeing myvi selling alongside daihatsu boon in UK should not be a surprise since it’s not the first to do so!

put that on my saga, and i can tapau …. heheheh

anyway, i consider this is a good move, would this makes me a P2 fan?

bleh…. whatever

haha, not true for malaysian cars….they are cheaper here. why? last i checked the insurance on a waja was ridiculous!!!

11k pounds for a spacious, 1.6l waja with airbags and abs. for 11k my alternativevs are the low end mini, or a 1.3/1.4 polo/206 etc. all of these cars not as spacious as waja, or have a 1.6 engine…however the poor interior and the high insurance (plus the fact its safety rating isnt as good) makes it less competitve.

having said that, i was up in Hull (about 1.5hrs train ride from london) and the local police use protons as the non-emergency patrol vehicles (nope, no high speed chases….just the normal ronda-ronda)

waja, satria, and wira were the ones i saw.

in london they use vauxhalls as the “normal ronda ronda”, BMW 5 series, and their undercover cars are ford focus, ford mondeo, and volvos. Unmarked, mild mannered on the outside, but with cosworth racing engines on the inside and racing suspension

the kelisa is selling here for about 5,800 pounds. why on earth would anyone choose it over a ford KA? The KA is only around 300 pounds more, its a much better drive, and the interior feels so much better…not like its made of recycled mineral bottles lol…

i know it sounds like foreign motoring journalists look down on asian cars, but its really not the case. thats what you get when you;re comparing your goods to an international level of competition.

many malaysians dont ever get to drive the “mid” or :”low” range continental cars. seat, saab, skoda, volkswagens (polo, etc).vauxhall, So its tough to understand what JC is on about. THe variety just isnt available to taste back home.

there are so many better alternatives. but aside from that, he does give credit where its due, he liked some characteristics of the gen2.

who wouldnt poke fun at the savvy when they hear proton is marketing it as “my first lotus”? listening to that statement brings up visions of a low cost elise…or at least something sporty. savvy is certainly no match for some of the newer “hot hatches” on the market.
