Tkseah Supercharged February 16, 2009 Share February 16, 2009 The $17k OPC rebate is first offset against the COE QP payable. Any excess is then offset against the ARF payable. If the sum of COE QP and ARF is less than the rebate of $17,000, only a rebate up to the sum of COE QP and ARF will be granted. Since the ARF for Kelisa is around $5.3k, u need a COE QP of around $11.7k to get the full $17k OPC rebate.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a number of better alternatives of the same price range you may like to reconsider. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgnick 1st Gear February 16, 2009 Share February 16, 2009 Kelisa is cheap but it's really too basic. For really really cheap cars, do consider Suzuki Alto Auto (harder to find nowadays) or Kia Picanto Auto, maybe even Chevrolet Spark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until they catch up, stick to the koreans, if not japs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until they catch up, stick to the koreans, if not japs. I guess most people still don't know Perodua is using Daihatsu's technology. So Kelisa is basically a Daihatsu car, selling at a much lower price. Engine is assembled in Jap and ship to Malaysia for assembly into the car. Anyway to thread starter. Kelisa is off the shelve liao. Viva have taken its place. Might want to look at Kenari instead. Its jap counterpart is Daihatsu MOVE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tkseah Supercharged February 16, 2009 Share February 16, 2009 (edited) While perodua engines may be from daihatsu, they car body & finishing are fully made in malaysia and of malaysian QC quality.. feels very very different from daihatsu from japan.. kenari is quite a spacious car.. rear seats can be inclined if the rear passengers wanna take a nap also..

Tkseah Supercharged February 16, 2009 Share February 16, 2009 I read their export models to europe higher specs than the export models to SG.. cos europe got higher safety standards to pass.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to correct you on this one.. the Kelisa engine is not assembled in Japan. It's assembled in Malaysia itself. I can confirm coz' I visited the engine plant and witness the assembly process. It's within the same compound as the car assembly. Design by Daihatsu Japan, parts partly local, 100% assembled in Malaysia... It's a good enough basic car...

Silver_blade Turbocharged February 16, 2009 Share February 16, 2009 But their QC for export not that bad lah, if not why perodua selling like hot cakes in britain and europe. Actually, the kelisa is not selling very well in the UK at least...not sure about the rest of europe. I feel the kelisa was a good car at that price bracket...it's basic and drive a little like the old mini; fun. But with the drop of COE and slow car sales....i feel there are other alternatives to the kelisa replacement to consider. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
