“Paul, not that I wanna burst your bubble, but if you’re gonna be posting an “informative” post, dont contradict yourself. If you’re gonna be “presenting the figures”, present all available options to your readers.

Just because you dont advocate 9 years loans, does not mean everyone else can afford a 3 / 5 year either.”

foxtrotecho…he didn’t contradict himself. He just excluded information on an option which would only be considered a serious option by idiots. He already said he plans to explain in a future post why 9 year loans are stupid, and I feel that’s entirely a justifiable stand to take – it’s not like his exclusion is arbitrary or, even worse, based on the assumption that everyone can afford a 3/5/7 year loan, as you baselessly implied. He’s since been so kind as to explain in this comments thread why he rules out 9 year loans – I personally think he’s given the question more attention than it deserves within this context, but I guess he’s just a nice guy, nicer than I’m willing to be anyway.

Here’s what I believe – if a person wants one of these cars and yet needs a 9 year loan to own it, then that person is simply in the unfortunate position of wanting something she can’t afford. And if she continues to consider a 9 year loan as an option, then she’s in the additional unfortunate position of being a moron. I’d rather not have my favourite reads on the net start catering to morons, thanks very much. Yes, it’s selfish. No, I don’t care.

==Paul advise is quite right. is not advisable to take more than 7 years loan. is it better not more than 5 years to me. others take 9 years is not unfortunate or moron. your comments is a rubbish to me. the moron suit u most. there’s demand there’s offer. some purchase cars, to own maybe for 10years. nobody knows, there’s one reason also, quite a number of old cars more than 10years old around in Malaysia. think first please….moron. at least having a simple car better than public transports in some areas.

More choices, but still pretty expensive for me considering it is an older model than the current line up of daihatsu. RM42K for a K-car? national car some more. As for the RM28K one, 660cc, 3 cylinders engine, no force induction? larger than kelisa size – even kelisa got 850cc engine.. seriously this is no good bargain, just a strategy from perodua to beat stupid proton saga price. Phetaticaly it may sound, but i rather choose that old stupid ‘kereta kebal saga 1.3′ rather than this and its only RM27K. Surely if jeremy clarkson want to blow up cars in top gear, this would be one of it.

I’m quite dissapointed with perodua with their price tags and the things they offerred with viva.

==hahaha, don’t worry JC would blow up saga 1.3l first then only the viva 0.66l. after all, one is old and one is high price. forget about both. and get the myvi.

“…then that person is simply in the unfortunate position of wanting something she can’t afford. And if she continues to consider a 9 year loan as an option, then she’s in the…”

==> Ayooo, now you r using women as reference. Sufice it to say ‘that person’ instead of ’she’ larrr.

This is what i expect local car journalist to do. BRAVO AND KUDOS !

Chris Yap/Chris Wee – Learn from Paul ok? Don’t always say every car is good.

MYVI VIVA
space Bigger Between Kenali & Myvi
Interior More Comfortable Looks not good quality
body Solid Soft
Engine P 1.3DOHC DVVT 1.0DOHC DVVT
Power Nice Normal
Suspension Soft & Nice Soft
saftly device ABS SRS Same

Everyone know to choose the nice car ? I still choose MYVI … everthing MYVI have VIVA can’t do it ….

To make matters worse, government servants can get up to 10 years loan!!

If you plan to keep the car until end of life go for 9 years if you don’t mind the bank interest. If you plan to sell your car after 4-5 years, be prepared to lose a lot.

I’m quite dissapointed with perodua with their price tags and the things they offerred with viva.

Edit: Just added 9-year loan calculation.

“I’m not here to decide for you, just presenting to you the figures so you can decide for yourself.”
