Lim Ee Ling
2.4 6MT (2023)
Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 11.0 km/litre (9.1 L/100 km), RON97, Mileage: 1,000 km/month
    Great handling on twisty roads, good power & torque to handle most of the driving conditions including urban or spirited driving, low sitting position which brings a distinct sports car feel, good looks that turn heads when you are driving around town or attending car gatherings. Practicality is not great for a 2 door car, but having rear seats [...]
    Ingress/Egress is a little bit difficult due to the low sitting position, finding a suitable parking spot is also difficult due to the long doors, thick C pillar is also obstructing the view on the blind spots, but it is complimented by Blind spot monitoring system that works perfectly including RCTA alert.

HEV (2016)
Bought used, Owned for 3 Years
Fuel Economy: 20.0 km/litre (5.0 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 3,000 km/month
    -Very fuel efficient, normal casual driving can achieve around 25KM/L. Aggressive driving on the highway (way over the speed limit) around 16 KM/L. Normal driving with slight aggression at 20KM/L.
    - NVH is acceptable, quite quiet during EV mode but tire noise is audible but still bearable. Added much more soundproofing which improved the overal[...]
    - Due to DCT, it does jerk slightly once in a while during the traffic jam
    - The seat is not as comfortable as other similar price cars
    - Rear seat room also not as spacious as other same segment cars
    - Suspension setup is on the stiffer side

1.3 SE MT (2014)
Bought new, Owned for 10 Years
Fuel Economy: 16.0 km/litre (6.3 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 1,000 km/month
    1.Fuel Efficiency: The Myvi consistently delivers around 16km per liter, making it an economical choice for daily commuting and occasional longer trips.
    2. Performance: Equipped with a 1.3L engine and manual transmission, the Myvi provides solid performance for a city car.
    3. Reliability: Since the day I bought it, I've not encountered a singl[...]
    1. Build Quality: The finishing could be improved. The gaps between panels are wider than expected, which detracts from the overall aesthetic.
    2. Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH): The Myvi could benefit from better insulation. At times, the noise and vibration levels are reminiscent of a speedboat.
    3. Service Cost Variability: Servicing c[...]

1.0 AV CVT (2021)

    1. The Ativa is a pocket SUV that gets you from A to Z, through muddy puddles and KL floods and rough terrains going up to your favorite off-road cycling site. And it does it in comfort without rattling your bones or breaking a sweat.

    1. Drive it uphill and it screams murder. The engine's scream can scare everyone, even for someone who is used to 8,500rpm civic FD2R owners
    2. Plasticky feel in the cabin, especially the side handle where guys like me would rest my knee on. There are some sharp edges that could have been molded better.
    3. You can hear almost anything and eve[...]

Standard G 1.0 AT (2018)

Fuel Economy: 16.0 km/litre (6.3 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 400 km/month
    I had clocked 155,000 km using the Axia MK 1 Facelift.
    Below are the positives points of Axia cars:-

    1. Sporty projector halogen headlamps than the 1st version.
    2. Sporty SE front and rear bumper from 1st version.
    3. New pull rear door panel than key version
    4. Auto Folding Wing Mirrors
    5. Good fuel consumption about 15.8km/L for mixe[...]
    I have one major issue only where Perodua Axia's center O2 sensor face downward and easily get short circuit which cause false alarm (check engine light up) whenever the car pass-by flood area with water level above 150 mm.

Bought new, Owned for 5 Years
Fuel Economy: 21.0 km/litre (4.8 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 250 km/month
    1) Affordable price: The 2018 Kia Picanto continues the model�s tradition of being competitively priced, offering good value for the features and quality it provides.

    2) Fuel efficiency: The Picanto is known for its fuel efficiency, making it an economical choice for daily commuting and city driving.

    1) Limited space: Like most subcompact cars, the 2018 Picanto has limited rear passenger and cargo space, which may not be ideal for those needing more room.

    2) Engine performance: While the Picanto is adequate for city driving, the engine�s power may feel underwhelming during highway merging or when carrying a full load.

GT 2.0 T-GDI (2017)
Bought new, Owned for 6 Years
Fuel Economy: 10.0 km/litre (10.0 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 800 km/month
    Kia Optima GT 2.0L Turbo.

    - 242hp, 350nm for below RM200k? Worth the price.
    - Nice maroon colour semi bucket ventilated seat with a cooling and heating function, sunroof, flat bottom steering wheel, spacious cabin, wireless charger and android auto.

    - Topspeed of 2[...]
    - Not many after market accessories/performance parts available in Malaysia.

Fuel Economy: 15.0 km/litre (6.7 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 1,800 km/month
    Soft touches: the material used in the interior although considering the price and quality, surprisingly is so soft. You know how the American average cars like Ford Focus although is not premium but when exported to Malaysia, somehow it feels premium to us? Yeah that same feeling applies too with this car.
    NVH: Not surprising that abundance of[...]
    Underpower: As always with any Perodua. It made me think if the Japanese are too complacent with the so-called 'perfecting the old craft' practice.
    Weight: I'm fine with lightweight provided it is proportionate to the power of the car. Can't help but to callout the wobbling effect when driving fast along the highway.

Fuel Economy: 12.0 km/litre (8.3 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 1,500 km/month
    - Large interior space
    - Comfortable drive in highway
    - Large boot space. Can fit 1 stroller, 1 large luggage + 2 carry-on luggage
    - Smooth CVT power delivery.
    - Cheap to maintain for the car size. Around 2-300+ for minor service, 1.0-1.2k for major service. (At ETCM)
    - Full airbag
    - Lackluster sound system. But ok if you playing it with original CD
    - Lack of 360 camera. Only 2.5XV had this option.
    - Meh 2.0 engine power for 2.0XE. Myvi can tapau this car (2.0XE/XL variant)

    For now, after travelling about 6000 kms in a short span of 3 months, I've gotten quite used to driving the X50. Interior space is also pretty good, giving ample knee and headroom to both the front and rear passengers.

    The winning factor for me during my test drive was the comfort. As someone who ferries my family around (elderly), it's amaz[...]
    But here comes the things I've grown to dislike over the past few months of owning the car. I can see now why it is so much cheaper than the competition, while being able to still provide so much kit. Perhaps I'm unlucky, but luck can only get you so far.

    First it's the terrible ACOTECH HU. Boy, that thing is slow, laggy, and the display is j[...]

    - Great Mileage per tank. I can drive KL-JB-KL with 25% fuel left (aprox 250km to go)
    - Mileage in Pure mode (EV mode) is extremely accurate. Full charge in the same mode sometimes can reach 75KM depending on driving pattern

Bought new, Owned for 8 Years
Fuel Economy: 14.0 km/litre (7.1 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 1,500 km/month
    - Easy to drive. The car's short wheelbase coupled with light throttle and steering makes it a perfect city runabout. The visibility is also very good thanks to the huge windows, A-pillar window and also low dashboard. Driving position is also good, neither too low nor too high. New drivers will be used to it very quickly.

    - Road and wind noise is intrusive especially at highway speeds
    - Less stable at highway speeds especially on less even road surface.
    - No ESC and power retractable side mirror for the lowest end variant. Only E spec and V spec get it.

    - Nice design inside and outside. Still looks modern even after 8 years. Interior is durable.
    - Very practical for loading stuff, I used it to move house and even transported king mattress from Ikea.

Fuel Economy: 9.0 km/litre (11.1 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 600 km/month
    The way it drives, confident on the highways, solid when handling corners. Aurcond is as good as any proton. Sound system is a plus. Interior space and boot space is definitely on par with class leaders.
    NVH could be better, fuel economy is just acceptable. The infotainment system needs an upgrade as no apple carplay or android auto. Hey proton is basically a gimmick. Had an issue with the airbag warning system that kept going on, took almost 7 visits to the service centre and now it seems to be fixed.

    - Plenty of power and torque in Sport mode. Overtaking is a breeze.
    - Plenty of leather across the cabin, oozing luxurious feeling
    - Seats are really comfortable, especially with the ventilation function
    - Spacious and plenty of leg room, can fits 4 adults [...]
    - Dated cabin design, but it is understandable since it was launch 10 years ago.

    - Key fob looks cheap and doesn't justify its price.
    - Reverse camera is terrible, the quality is similar to the cheapest one from Shopee
    - Infotainment is mediocre at best.
