Hi

I plan to buy MYVI Auto with Abs n air bag *rm49k). i have a few question
to ask the MYVI owner here.

1. IS MYVI fuel economy good. The sale man told me it is 15 cent per km.
sure or not?

2. Is it responsive..some ppl say no power this car..is it underpower?

3. Is the build quality ok?

4. Any major flaw.??

1) City Drive lower get 16cents & max is 20 cents dont change bigger rim
highway dont worry sure can get lower then 16 cents.

2) wat is mean of no power, me using 16 inch go genting also no problem
some more is auto. i think the person who say no power cause there cant
understand their own myvi attitute :P.

3) quality is ok for me. depend people feeling. i remember tat time when
myvi launching so many people go to bang here and there ,see the quality
and after there complaint abt the quality not so good but at the end also
buy it liao :P.

4) many many minor problem, so far me use for 1 1/2 years ,just only have
the sound here and there :) . common problem is disc brake and brake pad,
air con smell, abs light alwasy on cause from the tinted water.......

1. For 1.3EZi Auto, if you can get 0.16 cent / km, I consider it was good
and excellent condition. Average my friends get was 0.16 ~ 0.17 cent / km
depends to road condition and driving attitude. This figure was based on
stock original condition using 14 inch alloy rim.

2. For 1.3 Auto, it was responsive. The power you get similar to Proton
Wira 1.5GLi manual. People said no power, it depends how he judge and which
car to compare. Ask them compare with 1.3 engine with auto gearbox like
Toyota Corolla 1.3GLi Auto or Proton Wira 1.5GLi auto. Then you will know
which one waa responsive.

3. Built quality? So so la... You know CKD car 100% cannot compare to CBU
even those from Thailand. Just give and take. I mean the door rubber might
not install so well or the screw lose one piece here and that. Overall it
was acceptable.

4. Didn't heard so much of major flaw. There was some like got petrol smell
whenever filled full tank, rattling noise, engine rev noise, wind noise,
seat not install properly.... Overall it just an error that member from
MyviClub might give you a solution for that. Major parts like engine and
gearbox, electronics devices and any component that required to make the
car run was OK without any complaint from owner.

I assume the car will hot like cake for car tuner in future, like Wira.

My wife own 1.3 auto for 10 months with 12k otr.

1. Fuel consumtion. 18 to 30 cents per km.
2. Power, worse than kenari 1.0 auto. Not resposive at all. Stupid
gearbox.
3. Build quality so far so good, no complain.
4. Not so far.

Hi,

I owns an Oct 2006 Myvi EZi. So far have changed the rims and tires to
16", springs to eibach, gialla bodykit and speakers.

1. In term of economy, ok if you are light footed and for this car size.
But dont put your hope to high.

2. This is a purely town car. It is very responsive in the 1st and 2nd
gears. But take it to the hiway or high gear and you will be struggling
to achieve 110kmph except down the slope. The suspension also is not up
to mark as u will feel like ur driving an oversize Kancil.

3. Build quality is good. So far i have no problem with the car except
for the petrol smells after filling up. You have to wind down the windows
for a few minutes.

4. No major flaw as the earlier batch bought by friends.

5. As i said this car is purely town car. If your daily travel includes
driving on the hiway, you might want to consider another car as this car
really sucks.

6. Seats is teribbly uncomfortable (i think designed for crash dummies).

7. Wish they design a bigger boot space instead of putting it for extra
legroom as the later is useless.

8. The sound system is also lacking. You will be please to hear that your
mini compo or midi-hifi at home sound better than this.

9. Even after spending a fortune on changing a lot of things, i'm still
not satisfied and wish i had bought the Proton Savvy instead. (Test drove
the savvy before buying this. Although it is a good car, but choose Myvi
because of the negative publicity about proton cars).

10. In the end, it not the reputation, re-sale value, reliability that
counts, it's how good you feel when you drive the car that counts.

So good luck...

Aiyoohhhh

As i said this car is purely town car
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Myvi better to drive in town. Savvy better to drive out of town with
amazing stability for such a small car at high speed. Some blind people
could never understand that.

Myvi far easier to resale. But with 2nd hand price for all cars going down
the drain, why consider over peanuts? Just drive what makes you happy.

I've been driving my MyVi SXi for half a year... no mods at all...

1) FC - 100% city driving RM60 - 450km
2) Quality - Quite satisfied
3) Power - Good and responsive. Slightly better than wira 1.5. Horse
power is about the same but MyVi is lighter
4) Handling - So so only. Speeding > 130km/h on highway makes the car
feel unstable but I'm ok with it bcos I'm a law abiding citizen
5) Comfort - So so only. Wira is better
6) Interior - slightly difficult to tak care with the light coloured
fabric

Hope this helps.
