1. ulgy CD player is worst than the current premium version.

2. ugly pig nose design front grill, should make the logo smaller

3. remain same front and tail lamp, only re-color

what i liked is only the Speedo Meter

Daihatsu Boon paper car models. DIY stuff. Looks cool to be placed on your Myvi dashboard.

BMW facelifts are proper facelifts with hundreds of subtle improvements of their cars and so does Mercedes and other euro makes. Perodua just slap on some new bumpers and a new radio and height adjustments, nothing much to shout about. It is absurd to compare Perodua with BMW is like comparing Versace clothing to Hang Ten or Giordano; totally in different league of its own.

No, it is not absurd to compare in this case, as most of the postings here are commenting on the physical outlook of the vehicle more so than whats changed under the skin. and in this respect, Yes, bmw “facelifts” are pretty boring, and hardly anyone can tell the difference. So i standby my previous comment.

y malaysia made car never come with turbo engine??

Hi,
Good question bro. Let’s face it, it turns out Malaysians are mostly “irresponsible” drivers. Even with a normal engine you can see Malaysians drives like an “ingkamput” or someone placed an idiot behind the steering wheel. Enough said.

Furthermore, our socio-economic status doesn’t allow normal Malaysians to own a turbocharged car (most of them). Normal Malaysians usually can own one car at a time and they will use that same car for work and leisure. Wanna to drive a turbo car during traffic jam on daily basis to work? Its a fuel guzzler and high maintenance. Unless you’re a rich man that’s a different story.

I heard from a friend of mine (policeman) says that our current road regulation and policy are affecting the model-make of our local cars. Means, the Police and JPJ wanted to keep the number of turbo cars as low as possible. Means, normal Malaysian will find it a little bit hard to own such cars. I can’t blame the police or the authorities, they would not be able to do a hot pursuit in their aging Waja’s against say: turbocharged MyVi’s or turbocharged Proton’s. “Makan asap” they said, (althought I know the Police’s Proton Waja’s is a formidable force to be reckon with, a “modified” version of Waja via special-secret tender with Proton).

I’m looking forward for the new MyVi SE facelift. I’m not sure Perodua will add extra features such as rear disc brakes or upgrade the engine to 1.5cc. Because, it is called a “facelift”. Perodua will only change the “appearance” of the car and not otherwise. The only way Perodua to come out with a lot of new features is to come out with a new replacement model of MyVi.

anyways.. facelifts are normal for car manufacturers at different points of the products life cycle. bmw’s have even more boring facelifts which you can hardly even notice.. so i dont think perodua deserves any criticism for this, let alone any other manufacturer. if you are in the market for a myvi right now, you would probably welcome this facelift as extra value.

jeez! so many proton fans in here…lol..heard someone asking perodua to do perfomance parts like R3..Well,just look wat happen to R3..

aiya its definitely disc brake laaa……I bet my balls
..
You save the picture, use photoshop to enlarge, then brighten it, you can see the disc clearly.

Tyres are GoodYear Eagle NCT 5, but can’t see the size, i think they blur it cos the size should be located between “GOODYEAR” and “EAGLE”.
