AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments highlight the low features and high price of the Perodua Viva 660 BX, with many stating it lacks basic essentials like radio, power steering, and central locking, making it seem overpriced at RM25k. Several compare it to second-hand cars or motorcycles, questioning the value and safety, and express doubts about its safety features, safety ratings, and crashworthiness. Many sarcastically suggest it’s only suitable for driving schools, students, or as an emergency backup, criticizing its minimal specs and safety concerns. There's widespread disappointment, with some calling it a ‘tin can,’ ‘moving coffin,’ or ‘ridiculous’, and many advocate for a better, safer, more affordable Malaysian-made car or more supportive public transportation, reflecting strong negative sentiments about safety, value, and pricing.
