2008 Perodua Myvi SE - full details and prices
The new updated Perodua Myvi SE has been launched in the Malaysian market, so let’s have a look through what’s new with this Special Edition model compared to the recently unveiled Perodua Myvi facelift.
The Perodua Myvi SE is essentially an easy way to accessorize your Perodua Myvi with all the costs of making it look different from the run of the mill Myvi factored into the hire purchase loan for you and installed straight from the factory.
What you get is a new bodykit featuring a different front bumper and a different rear bumper, a spoiler, and different 14″ alloy wheels. The new rear bumper features a diffuser-like design which looks so much better than the pre-facelift Myvi SE’s rear bumper. The taillamps are also now of a clear design and keep the LED lighting units inside while the headlamps are of a blacked out design.
On the interior you get leather upholstery on the seats as well as the steering wheel. The head unit is no longer integrated but of a 2-DIN type and comes standard with CD, MP3 and WMA capability. It can also load your music files from a USB drive, and it has Bluetooth capabilities. The instrument panel follows the facelifted Myvi’s three-gauge design but instead of being blue and white, it lights up in amber.
Interestingly the cute yellow Myvi that we saw in the spyshots is missing from the line-up of both the standard facelifted Myvi and this new Myvi SE. You do get one new colour - Tangerine Orange. Other colour options for the SE include Ivory White, Ebony Black, Glittering Siver or Pearl White. Pearl White is designated a “special metallic” colour that costs more than your normal metallic.
Basically that’s it - the enhancements are all aesthetics. The engine is still the same 1.3 liter unit producing 86 horsepower at 6,000rpm and 116Nm of torque at 3,200rpm, and the brakes are still discs at the front and drums at the rear.
The following are the prices for the new Perodua Myvi SE:
| Perodua Myvi SE Facelift 1.3 M/T (Solid) | RM49,900.00 |
| Perodua Myvi SE Facelift 1.3 M/T (Metallic) | RM50,400.00 |
| Perodua Myvi SE Facelift 1.3 M/T (Special Metallic) | RM50,800.00 |
| Perodua Myvi SE Facelift 1.3 A/T (Solid) | RM52,900.00 |
| Perodua Myvi SE Facelift 1.3 A/T (Metallic) | RM53,400.00 |
| Perodua Myvi SE Facelift 1.3 A/T (Special Metallic) | RM53,800.00 |

October 10, 2008 @ 10:21 pm
the headlamp too rounded and doesnt compliment the new car bodykit
October 10, 2008 @ 10:21 pm
pearl white?
That’s a good choice.
But..the bodykits aren’t striking really.
October 10, 2008 @ 10:23 pm
Expensive……..but i like the led lights…..the leather seats damm ungly..
October 10, 2008 @ 10:25 pm
nice choices of color..expensive??i thought about the same like previous SE..leather seats also quite the same..
October 10, 2008 @ 10:26 pm

For me, it’s nice.
October 10, 2008 @ 11:25 pm

the new bodykit and lights is nice…
install some 15 or 16 inches it’ll be pretty
and gosh, get a HU a.s.a.p after getting the car .. it is just terrible!

October 10, 2008 @ 11:56 pm
swift xerox
October 11, 2008 @ 12:01 am
oh what a waste, i thought it would have disc brakes and a 1.5 liter engine.
oh well.
only good thing about this car is the Pearl White paintjob, other than that, its pretty much the same car.
October 11, 2008 @ 12:11 am
Still uses tat booring engine & suspension setup and rear brakes
October 11, 2008 @ 12:16 am
all the color tiru proton.
absolutely fugly.
buy the 1st one SE far better.
This one is overdone, but all are misplaced.
rear disk brake? Keep dreaming you’re. there’s no such thing since ‘toyotanisation’ in p2.
October 11, 2008 @ 12:19 am
Please….no fake front and rear vents at the bumpers. They are so pretentious.
The rearlamps look like it was from “Kedai Abang”. I prefer the red tail lamps.
October 11, 2008 @ 12:23 am
ugly + expensive with silly color.
i dont accept any copy paste model by p2.
but i like the audio system.
feel heaven with usb.
October 11, 2008 @ 12:29 am
hey my friend’s chrome rims look just like that, that is he hasnt wash it for months.
still prefer the old one.
October 11, 2008 @ 12:35 am
I still prefer the old one. But don’t mind this either. As long as it’s not that tangerine orange colour. Abit overkill.
October 11, 2008 @ 12:52 am
eeeeek. the car stereo doesnt blend in with the interior .. yuck yuck yuck!!!!!
October 11, 2008 @ 1:02 am
Supposely when come to SE..facelift etc..the car should looks nicer but IMO this myvi become ugly and uglier..price? as usual quite expensive. P2 please..
October 11, 2008 @ 1:12 am
front look.. copy from swift /New saga..
October 11, 2008 @ 1:13 am
p2 become like p1 meh??
just change bodykit.. nah.. NEW SE.. huhu
October 11, 2008 @ 1:16 am
the previous one is better looking…
hey guys i just received 3 photo proton MPV final design where can i share wit u guys
October 11, 2008 @ 2:20 am
what a hype!!!
the way perodua showing its advert in the papers is like sumthing big is going to happen; like a new engine or sumthing new.
but wat we get is the same old myvi, a different radio head which i think is plainly stupid, a new color and a price hike.
oh joy.
and if u notice it, take the perodua huge front logo and put it where the numberplate holder is and voila!!
it will look just like the new Aveo5.
October 11, 2008 @ 6:15 am
Looks nice… Kinda overkill…
Basically for me… This is saying like… Yo, I’m ‘racy’… Which means I’m fast…
October 11, 2008 @ 7:00 am
A makcik with boots and jeans. Do you know what i mean?
October 11, 2008 @ 7:54 am
it’s a car designed by accountants, not engineers…i hope ppl will be smart enough to boycot this model. there’s nothing special about a myvi with some plastic panels that’s slow and still looks like a pig
October 11, 2008 @ 8:17 am
fat pig with new look.
i believe this car will end like Kenari…
facelift.. facelift.. finally follow 100% boon or passo design..
October 11, 2008 @ 8:58 am
with this price,i will consider buying (proton persona) which has a bigger engine and more comfort….
October 11, 2008 @ 9:16 am
So where is the yellow color??
October 11, 2008 @ 9:25 am
My 2 cents,
Perodua you are getting to be like PI and do not take Malaysian car buyer for fools , facelifts for old designs dont work anymore in this current market.
Please move on and come out with up todate models or else face the same fate as your P1 brother.
The Koreans have taken the global market by leaps and bounds ( I am not a of them) but we must learn and be quick to change, the trick is give what the customers want and not what you thing you want!!! If you are not careful Chinese wheels will over run you down too unless the bloody NAP is still enforced and enshrined . Happy Motoring and Stay Alive and Drive.
October 11, 2008 @ 9:39 am
Expensive….buROK!!!!
October 11, 2008 @ 9:49 am
another waste of money can buy.why malaysian car manufacturers are so narrow minded.its a box.shit like colour.who the hell decide on the facelift crap for MyVi.Its horrible.Price also no good.Anyway no point complaining.Its all in the political game.me you and a car named MyVi boo.
October 11, 2008 @ 10:18 am
one word—WALAU!
How Pro2 can make such car? Previous MyVi SE farfar
better, the body kit looks ugly~ T_T
Previous better~
October 11, 2008 @ 10:25 am
Terribly bad looking car…
October 11, 2008 @ 10:33 am
Agree with kingv6, “The headlamp too rounded and doesnt compliment the new car bodykit”. And the rear lamp looks like cheap stuff from Ah Beng shop. Only the rear bumper looks an improvement.
October 11, 2008 @ 10:42 am
Why i was not caught by surprise?
Nah, nothing to say bout it..
October 11, 2008 @ 10:48 am
front grill look like lexus
October 11, 2008 @ 10:55 am
2-din headset look very ah beng. Not match the dashboard at all. Perodua face lift and so called upgrade….bonnet…agrrrh
October 11, 2008 @ 11:52 am
WAU out of this world, cause designed with aliens in mind. Freakin expensive, i wonder what is up wit p2 now days, firstly they replace kelisa with viva, which should have been replaced the kerani car, than replace the kembara with something that looks like the RUSH but way too small and prices it more than a VIOS ,CITY and even the 2.5 TRITON and close to the HILUX. What happen to its building cars for the people concept.And this new SE edition is priced close to a much bigger, powerfull Persona and Even the SAGA.
Got to be kidding….
October 11, 2008 @ 11:57 am
I’m speechless…
October 11, 2008 @ 11:57 am
Hmmm…I’ll have to tell you guys that I’m getting sick with our automotive market with their so-called “Special Edition”. What the heck?! It’s nothing more than another facelift job to me. What so special? Slap a ugly orange colour and claim it’s looks racy? A simple 2 din stereo head unit that even doesn’t have a great audio system to match? Drum brakes?…dumb brakes is more like it! Engine also still the same…
Please la P2, stop thinking that Malaysian are a fool and you think we grow money from tree meh? Malaysian motorist DESERVE better than this!
Need an idea of how making an acceptable Special Edition ke, Perodua? Hmm…let see, how about a small factory fitted turbo system with extra ooomph (I mean most K-car in Japan are turbo power), a better leather racing seat like Recaro maybe, maybe 4 or 6 airbags for the peace of mind, stereo system that may come with a bunch of speaker and woofer like JL audio ke, apa lagi haaa…a look alike carbon fibre dashboard ke, disk brake all around…apa susah?! Bukan kiter mintak bikin engine baru ke, redesign the car shape to more aero dynamic ke, that’s entirely different story coz it invovle a more R&D which cost money.
I mean even the Persona SE pun a GPS dengan cruise control la (too bad it never came in CPS form). So, what ever lah…dah boring lah with our SE edition. In my HONEST opinion, there’s simply nothing SPECIAL about it! Cheers and let’s hope the world oil will drop more below 80 dollar per barrel this week…yeaaaaa…we want CHEAP oil! CHEAP oil!
October 11, 2008 @ 12:12 pm
extremely overpriced! this is crazy.
it still drives & handles like a MYVI. it shld not exceed 50k!
October 11, 2008 @ 12:16 pm
Since Datuk Syed Zainal leaves P2 for P1… look like P2 having a problem with their car prices… everyday P2 car become DAMM expensive and design is DAMM awful… comeon P2, we dont want to “condem” car but, u just far away from ur motif .. “Compact Hatchback with a reasonable price and afforable”
October 11, 2008 @ 12:44 pm

October 11, 2008 @ 12:57 pm
i never know there are so many car experts over here, with so professional comments
October 11, 2008 @ 1:09 pm
very nice..but look like garang + comel
October 11, 2008 @ 2:12 pm
SE SE SE always special edition
always add cheapo bodykits and slap on a bloody expensive price tag to cheat consumers.
54K for a myvi??? no thanks =.=
P2 shoud try to start developing new LOCALLY designed and manufactured automobile like a proper carmaker, not keep spurring out rebadged out-of-commission cars like these.
or at least make some technical aka drivetrain/engine improvements on their “facelifts” and not these money cheating skin-deep slap-ons.
shame on you, and pity those who fall for it.
October 11, 2008 @ 2:24 pm
Sure la ni disc break at rear tyre, 1.3 ma…. not 1.6 lor….
Im sure it is enuf for the car to stop immediately with EBD, BA, ABS. After some calculation, they know wont need disc break at the back…
U all engineer so clever la…
October 11, 2008 @ 2:25 pm
U all tell me what car that is 1.3 litre that has disc break at the back? (don mention mazda la…) !
October 11, 2008 @ 2:37 pm
it belongs in the rubbish bin…
i rather get a full spec persona…
October 11, 2008 @ 4:55 pm
Say all you want,this is gonna sell like hot cakes.Look at how many MyviSE are on the roads.Its so “expensive” but ppl still buy it over Savvy which is so much cheaper,go figure.If your saying RM 53k is expensive for a car,then i think you dont deserve to buy a car.
You think ppl will still buy proton which prides itself as the national carmaker and so called develop their own cars?
Tell them something,if you cant do it,dont do it.Just look at their campro engines which are rubbish.
I know many ppl are going to fight back,but i guess that everyone is just jealous about Myviz success and most probably are PRoton fans.
October 11, 2008 @ 4:56 pm
I went to see the car this morning. I think they are doing well for the rear bumper and tail lights. However, i believe that most of the people have gone sick and bored with Myvi’s never-changing head lamps. Since this car has been on the road for years, why dont P2 do somthing more special. SE should sounds and looks SPECIAL. P2 was doing way better than P1 few years ago when the very 1st Myvi rolled out; however recently people started to appreciate P1 more.
October 11, 2008 @ 5:05 pm
Because Proton are putting the “kesian” face on.They are running around with tags “Pls Buy Me”. They even come out with special deals and offers for their savvy like petrol vouchers and free this ,free that.Just shows how bad their savvy is doing.
Even then ,some ppl get fooled by Protonz tarp.Once they buy a Proton,they will regret for life.
October 11, 2008 @ 5:10 pm
I just like it’s tail bumper, the front bumper is horrible especially the fog light…..it’s kind a to big and round. They should smoked the crytal tail light rather than just using colourless cover…..
October 11, 2008 @ 6:38 pm
Go to Damansara Height big big houses and you will see Waja/Persona parked beside their BMWs. These rich bastards stupid aren’t they?
October 11, 2008 @ 6:46 pm
Nope! hell no! i’m still not proud with perodua!

ppl can be fooled once.. not twice,.. most ppl here comparing this car with old SE and agreed old SE is much better than new design

You think ppl will still buy perodua which prides itself as Toyota Japanese wanabe,?? assemble the japanese car and so called 2nd national car???
October 11, 2008 @ 9:20 pm
wah peyno is back wor…anyway, regarding this car, the headunit just doesnt blend in, tho its good they give u spaces for aftermarket head unit la.

regarding this, rather than saying other ppl who defend proton as fanboy, y not define urself as anti proton instead? not all who defend r fanboy, so should i define u as p2 fanboy just bcause of ur behavior now? u think ur smart huh?
i own a proton n im not regret, im happy with it now till EV comes out.
regarding campro being rubbish topic, u really dont know how to drive a car dont u? or dont know how to drive stick? yea yea maserati all the best is it? go own one n dont even give excuse like “if not for gov’s nap tax”, go to NAP(doze off) if u arent man enough to chase your own dream! stop being a wussie that keep complaining when u havent test any of it! u r more emotional in your topic than rational sense dude

========================
agree w u guys..
myvi headlamp is too rounded n doesnt suit front bumper design..nowadays
most headlamp come with sharp design , look at sharped swift, new saga and even savvy headlamp.. the headlamp design suits with Golf VW front grill looks.
btw .. yeahh perodua produces most hot selling car and if i’m not mistaken they oso hold the record most unsellable car in history. which is Kembara replacement model ( forgot the name oredi).. uptill now, they only can sell less than 100 units… even Juara sells better
prrrfthhh
October 11, 2008 @ 9:50 pm
maserati o maserati….
being emo doesn’t help.
Shall we liberalise this market? We’ll see if Myvi can still sell at all.
So more car sold means better la iz it? U look at ford focus, a much better car than civic n altis, but what happen here? what happen in UK? Next, here’s a simple question: which motorists are better educated?
Our car industry need to hv a March 8th to escape from being desperately at japmobile’s mercy. All hail continental cars!!
October 11, 2008 @ 9:55 pm
Aiya.. price so expensive lo. Just like allowing people knocking your head for such a small car but with big RM. Aiya…
I want it for RM30K only.
Aiya…
October 11, 2008 @ 10:03 pm
sure..then all the ah bengs will cucuk people on roads with this thing.
my comment on this car - not worth the money.
October 11, 2008 @ 10:31 pm
halo! who’s gonna buy it since the interest rate is so high now?
halo! fuel prices is so high now, shouldn’t it be a NGV myvi?
halo! it’s time to scrap it!
October 12, 2008 @ 4:34 am
what a piece of junk!!
October 12, 2008 @ 6:58 am
previously i was a proton basher but this myvi SE is very ridiculous…
what is the different between the previous myvi SE and this new myvi SE…?
aside from the bodykit, seat and HU i cannot see any huge differentiation or could it be the colour that contribute to this so-called facelifted…?
and the selling was very high with only 1.3cc engine…?
oh, please do something meaningful… pleeaaseeee
perodua now is hopeless…
October 12, 2008 @ 7:10 am
If I’m not mistaken, similar orange MyVi was featured on 2006 KL International Motorshow. ( I still have the picture of it)
But rather than just another “Special Edition” , Perodua people indicated that it would be a “Sports Edition” MyVi with 1.5 litre DVVT engine, with Momo equipment all over - steering wheel etc, dual tailpipe, Recaro seats & 15 or 16 inch tyres.
But, i think it will be more impropriate to introduce it now given the current economic climate, as the price will be more ridiculous than this new SE.
October 12, 2008 @ 8:01 am
Maserati,
why are you venting your anger on P1? Obviously you are either a P2 fan or P2 worker? The issue here is the P2 SE. Everyone is just giving their views.
Personally i think the styling is overdone, and the engine should be upgraded to compliment the racy styling. Not to mention that it is heavier due to the additional bodykits. And the price is too expensive for a car that size.
It’s a Swift and Jazzy wannabe for the boy race.
October 12, 2008 @ 8:58 am
emm… not nice to me…
Like a chinese say: “Drawing a snake and adding the legs on it.”
The previous Myvi SE edition more like the latest vision..
October 12, 2008 @ 9:00 am
P2,
What is so great with this? You have a winning model and all you did was adding accessories here & there and calls it Special.
I thought you would be different from the other local car maker. Time and again, offer same thing.
Save your resources for a really improved model ma……….superior soundproofing, side bags, vehicle stability control, steering control buttons etc. This is what you should be looking into. You employ many good people who can source and do the maths and remain competitive at the same time, if they dont do their job, replace them la….dont copy the mistakes like the other car maker……..sigh
October 12, 2008 @ 10:06 am
aiiiiii…. another bumper change…..
PERODUA! THIS IS NOT FACELIFT OK!!!
i know plastic mould is easier to modify and make, but as a car manufacturer u should be more sincere in presenting ur so call facelifted version! at least change the dashboard or side panel or head light design.
ugly bumper, the car body and bumper cannot match, it is a family car, don’t try to convert it to a sport-looked car, very disgusting….
October 12, 2008 @ 10:09 am
P2 is acttually doing their job trying to prolong it’s myvi selling life span in the market as what other car’s manufacture have done in these recent years rather than develope a brand new design car within 3 to 5 yrs time. But then i don’t know who is the chief designer which approved this latest design to be carying out the so call New SE. Maybe different ppl different taste, but i believe this is not the majority taste especially for the old SE owner. Anyway wish good luck for this New SE.
October 12, 2008 @ 10:41 am
Just went to show room, it looks like a piece of shit
October 12, 2008 @ 12:19 pm
why much white n black color? no ide to paint much bright or much fun color?
October 12, 2008 @ 4:56 pm
complaining so expensive, and yet comparing to expensive cars… c’mon! If all of us are damn rich, of course we are going to buy better car.
Now interest rate is more than 4.0%… not buying cars right now.
October 12, 2008 @ 5:42 pm
regarding this, rather than saying other ppl who defend proton as fanboy, y not define urself as anti proton instead? not all who defend r fanboy, so should i define u as p2 fanboy just bcause of ur behavior now? u think ur smart huh? i own a proton n im not regret, im happy with it now till EV comes out.

___________________________________________________________________________
Yeayea,i am happy to be antiproton.Thats because i had a very very bad experience with my stupid lousy proton the last time i had it sorry to say.
Anyway,this car is going to sell.And so what if i am a p2 salesman? I have test drove so many Proton cars and I can see why P2 has overtaken P1 as the No.1 in Malaysia.Ppl want something based on a Japanese model which is slightly more expensive but reliable rather than spend less on a Malaysian designed model and local engine technology and spending more later on to repair the stupid thing.
Remember,ppl are always willing to pay extra,thats why the full spec cars always sell the best.

=====================
i feel sorry for u, not because u got bad experience, but because u r still bringing that image to current situation n probably u’ll do it till forever when i read your comments.
tell me which proton cars u’ve driven before? dont need to mention proton, as ur more than happy to be anti proton anyway, how many non local car u have driven before? n tat my friend, p2’s ride quality is really not on par with the price u have to pay for it! safety not just about how many airbags u have or how japanese it is. your gene will never be a jap even when u speak jap isnt it? same as p2, it might have jap tech, dont make it jap quality! check out the finishing n do some rational thinking please. it is still malaysian quality that is all over the car.
u speak of full spec car, other than this so called SE and all the XXi from p2 that is “full spec”, most that sold arent full spec like u said. so pls crawl back to ur cave or wherever u came from, n look for statistics to support those body gas u just expelled. people wants bread and butter cars that allow them to move from point A to B, not always determined by specs as most of them do not know what SRS Airbag really perform or even what is ESP or ABS or EBD. since u know so much about spec, explain some of those that i mentioned will u?
n pls, when ppl bash it, doesnt mean they r jealous, are u jealous of proton owners? since u r anti proton so to speak.

Hehehe
New muti coloured fodder for my Waja. 14″ rims from a 1.3, 116Nm? That’s a joke surely? Pity the guy who slams 16″ on this thing.
But seriously. I don’t get what they’re trying to communicate here? Its an SE and….? Bodykits? No remapped ECU? No ceramic coated exhaust system? Suspension upgrades? More cupholders? What?!!! They spent millions in TV adverts for goodness sake. You can’t slam a bodykit and expect people to pay more for leathers that’ll toast your butt after 3 hours in the sun. There must be something more that they’re not telling us. Otherwise this would be a feeble attempt at a joke.

October 13, 2008 @ 8:43 am
Guys, u know what?….i got the most weirdest thought when i saw this car….previously Myvi looks like a giant toad/frog with a big ass…now it looks like a giant toad/frog with its puny testicles hanging under it’s eyes after a big fight(because of its blackened head lamps)! Hahahahahahahahahah!
October 13, 2008 @ 9:47 am
reffer to Myvi SE tagline…. this car will RULES THE ROAD?? hahaha… maybe this was “jokes for today”. how come it can conquer the road if it damm expensive and underpowered if compared with new Saga??

Ah~~~, did u guys ever go & see it yourself what the real car is it!!!
After that u go & see the Stuuppiii**d SE(A)GA urself, it just does not fit in another person after a slightly fat person sit in as a rear passenger coz it’s a 4 or matbe 3 persons car instead of 5 persons car, darn P1 Saga some more doesn’t come with airbag which is absolutely a NO, NO!!!
The Saga rear space is like the Ayam Brand’s SARDIN which is NOT comfortable for me (Coz I’m FAT[Slightly]!!!)!
And 1 more thing, the door(SAGA) that I closed is just like slamming a TIN MILO KOSONG !!! Which means the door is using some cheap and thin material to make the stupid doors, whcih will make a dangerous threat in case of a side collision!!! U should go and see and make comparison urself.
And for PERSONA, which is an ageing design since GEN2 design is already 5-7 yrs already (Maybe?), and suddenly come up with a BACKSIDE and the name changed to PERSONA, which is quite Ridiculous!!~~HA,Ha,hah(SIGN~~!)
As a son’s company from TOYOTA, what u get is the same from what u got in the TOYOTA car’s engine which is TECHNOLOGY FROM JAPAN (NIPPON) rather than u buy P1’s Campro engine which is from MALAISIA which is always break down always at the road side or on the highway (can’t u guys always see there’s always an P1 car break down on road side or highway?)~~~
You guys pls don’t ever mention the Turtoise Shape car which has its HARDEST shell (Car body) which comes from P1as you guys know which car is it, this car should be abolish as its hardest shell makes the driver looks very ashame of being a PET (Turtle Buyer), Huh~ Don’t mention it STOP!
U guys will know what is Good for you, Perodua=Son’s from TOYOTA (JAPAN)

Perodua Myvi SE, FACELIFT -New! Don’t know what others why talking about engine, etc irrelevant. Difficult to understand the meaning might be. Some will look it nice and some not, and so many got a problem with that. really disappointing. A special edition production from a normal production that P2 call it ’special edition’ is quite a norm, don’t see why a frust? Anyway, I don’t like this SE model or the previous model. I like to normal model.
Persona and new Saga is a better model than previous Proton Models in terms of quality, which few of my friends owned. we all own protons and peroduas for the past and now. built quality and reliability perodua still scored better. Fuel consumption of New Saga is not as good as Myvi but is a cheaper car to own.
We should ask which engine is better? Made in Japan or locally? Which cost more? from Japan or locally? it is reasonable the car cost more since the engine is from Japan or elsewhere not locally? There is some can be cheaper but very few.
So much blind supporter and basher. pity……
October 13, 2008 @ 4:33 pm
henryee,
another maiwi or perodua fans at hard work. Bad mouth all proton car? hahha..maiwi are soo great then. What? maivwi SE 2008? damn ricer boy + fast and furios car. With the powderful engine from Nihon (DVVT, Dual Voltage Vtec Turbo…hahahah that is damn funny la IssacVky), highest quality fitting and interior, superb handling (some say better than swift, the maiwi idol),advance look on the facelifted body kit and those leather seat are to die for. Damn, rule the road man. Nothing beat Maiwi…hail the great DVVT Maiwi 1.3 SE.
what 54k? for those superb body kit, advance steroe unit, leather seat and that 80 degree door opening is to die for. 54k is too cheap for maiwi..they should price it the same with Vius. As both as from Nihon.
What are you guy waiting for, go and book your goodlike DVVT SE now….dem great car cheap somemore.
(hahahhahahhaha).
October 13, 2008 @ 6:00 pm
hahaha dude tebuan, nice 1! at 1 time ur vius i mistaken it as virus
some ppl just do not know that their emotion affected them to be too bias to comment, henryee’s is the best joke of the day
thx for cheering us up!
tec96248, yes powertrain is from jap, the rest arent..does tat justify the fit n finishing n those welding without proper trimming(this is y im not satisfy with the finishing, im just comparing with satria neo)?
henryee,
“And 1 more thing, the door(SAGA) that I closed is just like slamming a TIN MILO KOSONG !!!” this remind me of vios,city, n maiwi(tebuan, 2008). side collision have nothing to do with the thin sheet metal! its the inner structure! u cant judge the car with sound noaways, there r always sound insulation u can add if u dont like the tin milo sound, how shallow u r…stop knocking on the sheet metal, u’ll be disappointed when u start knocking on your beloved virus(sorry its vios), or u can just shut the boot lid to enjoy the tin milo sound
son of toyota doesnt mean it is toyota, does jesus able to do things like God? pls knock some senses into your logical mind(tho my jesus example doesnt have any rational thinking in it :P)! if compares engine to chassis, chassis is more important to those who really DRIVE n value life! u can swap engine when its old, but u cant repair the chassis n hope it will be the same! u r just another basher that is clouded by emotions.

October 13, 2008 @ 6:07 pm
Well i dun agree with new Saga has a strogger power than myvi engine, the pick up is kinda dull….and believe or not if you guys go genting frequently during night time u can see myvi 1.3 is actually able to out run most of the car including Gen 2 1.6, thank to it’s short back side and lighter body….
October 13, 2008 @ 7:35 pm
to henryee..
dude..u kutuk saga aa…tell me wat do u even loose if u buy saga compared to these outdated myvi?
my main concern is why the hell is myvi is so overpriced?? all they do is just slap on new bumpers only maa…
the car itself is a few years designed car rite? so? old tech with new skin only rite? why the price increased like its a total new car?
ur the idiot man..
altho saga got so many complaints from u..
at least saga DONT STEAL UR MONEY man..wat u pay is wat u get la…
unlike this myvi..
p/s: I HAVE LOOK INTO THE CAR la demmit..thats wat makes me so dissapointed..plus the damn overpriced tag on it!! got it oredi my fren? u kena con la with P2 still dont realised aa? pity u la…

another p/s to henryee..
u urself said persona is outdated due to its cousins gen2 front from back in 7yrs b4..?
news flash for u..aint myvi the same??? duhhh~
myvi oso have been on our roads since then la weii..but still no major upgrade wat…the only “upgrade” it received is its price ok?
so, wat say u now? wud u still buy myvi if they sell it for 60k or even 100k with just addons of twinpipe n evo like spoilers?? ridiculous la…
October 13, 2008 @ 7:59 pm
fastcx n all..
i juz commented on wat i think about this new myvi n its overpriced tag..
but “someone” suddenly brought in SAGA into the thread n call anyone who doesnt see this myvi se as he did as a bollocks…? what is that man…
nvm la..sorry if i did flame anyone..
p/s: still feel like this car shud be sold at a lesser price tho… ;p
October 13, 2008 @ 8:30 pm
Oh and to the joker henryee,
side collision huh? Not like your mawwi is fitted with side airbag & curtain airbag ha!

I already tested both of the car, my sibling myvi’s and my 2nd car new Saga’s.. with myvi, i’m just be able to push up untill 165km/h max speed, meanwhile New Saga can reach up to 182km/h!! if u see myvi smoked some of Saga or Gen2, maybe the driver just maintain the speed or maybe they just dont want to race… something that will wreck their ride.
October 14, 2008 @ 1:11 am
well said aenz81!
racing with myvi 1.3(without turbo) is like playing with toy car -.-” y waste the effort on it? dont say campro isnt good, u need to know how to drive to drive even the worst car..tho its not the best engine, most of the time, its the driver’s issue rather than the car
dont get my message wrong tho, im not comparing it to those big vtec or vvtiL engine, just normal economic engines that so called new tech engine like dvvt or vvti…those engine when revved is like ur killing it -.-” sound not nice, performance…dont even bother!
thats y p2 just release these SE for ricers/jap wannabes just to make them feel: “Ooo this is a fast car, sure can take that crappy savvy”, er, wrong thought dude! try n race savvy with your stock 1.3, u’ll be surprised
October 14, 2008 @ 1:18 am
economic cars should stick to its name, ECONOMIC. dont step over the line or u’ll look silly!
a city car, will always be a city car, like myvi! when u race, i bet u’ll lose in cornering big time(READ: myvi hv poor cornering no matter what engine u put in, u just cant defeat physic!)! are u going for drag race? straight line is nothing, u dont need much skill in straight lines especially most of these buyers get auto! n its a chick magnet, not stallion!
same applies to vios, its for comfy n fuel economic, so dont torture the poor engine over 4k rpm…the sound is very very harsh! no matter how u change the outlook, guts n balls r still shitty economic cars, stop dreaming ricers!

It depends on how u drive your myvi, my manual car without modding can clock 175km/h for top speed and this is not important as we do not frequently drive it on max speed. But i admited that the proton car’s chassis is better than myvi which is more stable; tried pick up with my fren’s brand new Saga for around 500m lenght, end up with the gab of 1car behind my wheel thanks to the greater hp/kg of myvi.

it’s true that 1.3myvi can accelerate faster than my 1.6auto gen2.
but when it comes to corners at high speed 130+km/h,
i can’t see the myvi can be ahead of me..
about so called “drag race”, in short distance, i think myvi will win.
hmm…at higher rpm, the engine is objected to higher stress.
big engine at higher rpm will suffer less then the small engine at higher rpm.
pls correct me if i’m wrong

Well, a 100kg different was a big gab for a c-segment car… but it’s will gave u an extra handling ability for an extra safety future. U already told me here that it’s depend on how u drive ur car and maybe this was the causes why ur friend lost the race in a new Saga against ur myvi… My saga 0-100km/h time was 11.2 sec and top speed was 182km/h. Still faster than 175km/h right?.. and try ur Myvi from 0-100km/h, get the time then compared it… i still don’t know how u push ur myvi until 175km/h and i have a prove in youtube that myvi only clocked 160km/h mean while Saga reach up to 180km/h max speed… enjoy!
October 14, 2008 @ 9:39 am
Well….got prove also in the myviclub.com….my myvi 4th gear can go to 160km/h….dun believe get one manual and drag it. The drag in between Myvi and Saga is within the same condition, booth floor down the fuel padel and there is one answer for Saga lose to my Myvi base on your 0-100km/h 11.2sec information….maybe it has not fully run in for the new engine.
October 14, 2008 @ 9:47 am

October 14, 2008 @ 10:02 am
have everybody saw the maiwi SE the ricer boy car advertisment in the TV? Demm…The advertisement is all about power, handling and ricerboy. In my opinion the advertisement is quite misleading (from what i understand from that clip 2008 Maiwi SE is one powerful and great handling beast with that 180 degree turn). Done that 180 degree turn a couple of time with your daily maiwi, you might find your rear axle broken into pieces.
If Pe-lodua revised the power train and drive train a bit and make enhancement to the existing maiwi, that i would understand but a bodykit slap on and revised front and rear bumper will not equate to ’special more powerful maiwi’. Correct me if i am wrong ok. Gen2 campro and gen2 CPS is one example or upgrading and swift 1.5 to swift 1.6 sport is other drivetrain and powertrain upgrade. How many HP increase derived from the leather seat+ proton orange colour scheme + bodykit + revised bumper give. 10 hp? Heck ‘outdated’ technology engine in saga 1.3 aifm rate more than 11 hp than the godlike advance state of the art DVVT (a.k.a VVTi) and quite the similar FC return.
maiwi SE with the Godlike DVVT should= have higher HP output per displacement+ Marginal Fuel Saving + higher torque output than plain ordinary campro 1.3 aifm. With the cub weight of less than 1 tonne (950kg), it should translate to more FC saving and lesser accelaration time compared to the rival (obviously you know).
so maiwi lover, go ahead book another maiwi SE 2008, then you will become a true ricerboy. Just be careful of high speed wobby handling and slow down if you see corner. Just a friendly reminder.

fastcx, i m just giving an overall comparison. does the satria fuel consumption better than myvi, having additional 2 rear doors for convenient in/out? does it fit in as a family car? better trimming doesn’t count everything. every cars suit every individual needs. that’s reason why a hatchback cars can sell better in our market which never happened before. look at our market, myvi is the best seller, does it justify as a better car?

ericfoong81exe,
Obviously maiwi is a compact family car tuned for comfort and it is a city dweller. Yeah your maiwi could reach 160 at 4th gear, but look at the time taken. 0-100 maybe taken 11 second or less but 100km to 160km? it taken ages to reach tat speed. 500 meter drag, maiwi maybe could be ahead of saga but after that, maiwi will be the one be smoked.
anyway most of maiwi fan does dellusion that their car is a ricerboy car. face fact that neither maiwi nor saga are design to be a ricerboy car. Get yourself a gen2 cps 1st or waja cps then come here and talk about handling (the most affordable good handling car availabe in my opinion). Power mean nothing without control. Easiest example a kancil swap with L2 turbo engine. It flying but you can’t have proper control. It is said easier to make a car more powerful and faster then make the handling better.
we can argue all day long about maiwi and blm saga performance. the most important thing for me how good the handling of car should be. Anybody could enter drag race but not anybody could win a proper circuit race. get my point?
the best thing is if you really wish to see which car is faster and better. Go to genting and drive hard (at your own risk). Safer bet is go to sepang and do a duel. then we will see who smoke who.
