Dragoon04 Neutral Newbie February 4, 2009 Share February 4, 2009 Since MyVi is coming in soon (should be this month) i feel you should wait for it to arrive first. Maybe the price will be dropped. For the car wise, good leg room, nice engine. But for cons, the door and body is very thin, can hear bikes or vehicles pass by you. My air-con (the thing that you adjust the air-flow) drop off after one month. I feel the interior is very plastic. One more cons i feel is that if you ram the engine a bit higher you can smell the engine oil through your air-con. I feel you should go test Picanto and check the specs before you get this car as i feel that is better for value and better body. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was at the showroom that day, 1 SE - Raymond show mi the Myvi, pricing @ 36K (previous COE) seems more space on the inside, and better built, test drove viva, can really feel that the door is very thin.. but drove kelisa b4.. felt that it is much better than kelisa.. picanto is 1 option, but felt that picanto is quite out of date le if compare to viva & that the new version not as nice as old 1... another worrying part is the parts ba... watching closely though.. hoping tis round de COE drop will make myvi cheaper..

Route Clutched February 4, 2009 Share February 4, 2009 you guys seriously bout getting myvi ?? the Daihatsu Sirion is now $38500... for 1.5k - 2k more, you get a made in Japan with better build, 2 more air bags, a better tuned K3VE engine with more bhp and torque compared to the old k3ve in the myvi. oh and more cup holders too.. lol doesnt make sense to buy myvi instead.. The K3VE engine in the Daihatsu Sirion specs: Engine capacity 1,298 cc Engine type Inline 4 cylinder, DHOC, 16V, DVVT Compression ratio 10 Bore x Stroke (72.0 x 79.7) mm Power 67 kW Torque 120 Nm The K3VE engine in the Perodua Myvi specs: Engine model K3-VE Engine type Water-Cooled, 4-Cycle, In-line 4-cylinder Valve mechanism DVVT DOHC Total displacement (cc) 1298 Bore x stroke (mm) 72 x 79.7 Compression ratio 10 Max. output (DIN) 64 kW / 6000rpm Max. torque (DIN) 116 Nm / 3200rpm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic February 4, 2009 Share February 4, 2009 When I was fitting my rear lower arm bar in SG, the mechanic who is a Malaysian, attended to my car actually remarked and admired the screws and bolts of Sirion. He was telling his colleague - "Hoh Liao" (Good Stuff) ones! Insignificant & out of sight parts also of high quality. [thumbsup] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picanto 3rd Gear February 7, 2009 Share February 7, 2009 This pricing is crazy! I rather get Sirion or even Kia Forte. these 2 models are value for $$. viva is a good car, but i feel that the AD has overpriced it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolpica 4th Gear February 7, 2009 Share February 7, 2009 The profit margin of the dealer is very high. Read up here. SgCarMart Look at the premium that the 2 models of VIVA command. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolpica 4th Gear February 7, 2009 Share February 7, 2009 I'll get the Sirion definitely. The price is $37000 vs Myvi $40999. Compare the two features as well: Sirion vs Myvi. Buying Myvi now just doesn't make sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangadrool Supersonic February 7, 2009 Share February 7, 2009 Getting a 1.5M (40,800) is also cheaper than Myvi 1.3M (40,999). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
