Executive MT (2014)
Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 12.0 km/litre (8.3 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 1,000 km/month
    Spacious and ride comfort is good. Engine smooth. No "whoom" sound when accelerating. Torque is sufficient to get the car moving fast from traffic lights. Easy to reach 130km/h. Light clutch and short shifts. Pulls well on 3rd and 4th gear. Engine is silent . The gadgets installed are just enough.
    Steering is thin, unlike the steering in Waja CPS and so is the handbrake handle. Gear stick knob would have been better if round in shape. Should have factory fitted reverse camera.

1.5 SE AT (2014)

Fuel Economy: 11.0 km/litre (9.1 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 3,000 km/month
    Very good design of front seat which allow easy access from left to right or vice versa.
    Wide size of front center armrest
    Good sound when close the door, feel solid.
    Too low or too far overhang, the front bumper skirt. Easily touch ground or ramp when go mall parking, and enter house with front ramp. Mine is 2014 facelift, lesser than 1 week from new car, already deep scratch the front skirt especially both side lips area. Can't imaging perodua designers made a car that not suit to Malaysia condition, yet so[...]

    Very bad quality!!

    When I got the car within a month i have the engine mounting replaced and the replacement wasn't done immediately. I have send my car to the service center for 3rd times, then only got the problem fixed!

    A year later, I've discovered another issue especially in a heavy rain. When I pass through a road hump, i heard clunk[...]

    Good Handling: Minimal body roll when cornering. Good and light steering. Stable when cruising at speed.
    Fuel economy: 14 km/L mostly city driving
    ECON mode: Normally drive in ECON mode. Help to regulate throttle control for smoother and more economic drive.
    SPORT mode: Great for overtaking (no need paddle shifter)
    Enough power: Does not lea[...]
    Stock tires are bad. Changed to Michelin XM2 and immediately feel a big different. Ride is more comfortable, more grip and less tire rolling noise.
    The shiny dashboard material and the touch screen is a dust magnet. Need to wipe every few day to keep them clean.
    The dark seat fabric is also a dust magnet and it is difficult to clean.

Fuel Economy: 420.0 km/litre (0.2 L/100 km), RON97, Mileage: 2,500 km/month
    - Big space, Big Boot
    - Petrol consumption acceptable
    - Cheap purchase price if compare with other Japan make-car
    - very light sterling (you may see this as Cons, but it's Pros for me :) )
    - Believe me, pump 95 even Myvi can cut you
    - Car looks sport but very under-power
    - Absorber too soft (dangerous for high-speed corning)
    - Low second hand value
    - Air-con fan spoil two time in two year

    1. Affordable, but not just a high quality product to Malaysia people
    2. Silent, but once open window with 70km/h, this will blow off your ears!
    3. Fire extinguisher isn't a free, not even given as a gift by sales representatives
    4. Gear 1 to gear 2 is very hard, and it sometime with a forcing sound even you doing the clutch correctly

320d M Sport (2014)
Bought used, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 13.0 km/litre (7.7 L/100 km), Diesel, Mileage: 1,000 km/month
    This would be more of between the 316i and the 320d, with the 320d being the one I went for in the end, but for the most part they apply for both.

    Design wise, I have to say it is probably one of the best looking 3 series yet. Daring yet not overdone, sharp yet not too dramatic, the 3 series is like a tailored suit from Saville Row. There's r[...]
    Specifically on the 316i, the lack of power is noticeable. When you pull away and merge, you are reminded you bought the smaller engined 3 series. Not too big of an issue if you are coming from say a Jetta or Civic, but from another BMW product, yes, you can feel it. You need to rev the engine a bit to get moving. The steering and suspension too[...]

    - Monster performance from a Golf. Definitely feels quicker 0-100 km/h than the manufacturer's claim of 5 seconds
    - 2nd generation Adaptive Chassis Control (DCC) works wonders. Previously lived with a Mk6 GTI which had the subpar 1st generation DCC. Now you can actually feel a huge difference between the different settings
    - It handles like a [...]
    - Like many in Asia Pacific, Malaysians get the slightly detuned version. Still goes like a rocket but less impressive for the pub talk

    Best hybrid technology available in the country
    Comfort of a Camry with much better performance than any previous Camry available locally
    Fuel efficiency is surprisingly good for a car of this size and weight
    Good acceleration due to electric motor's instantaneous torque.

    1.Performance is superb with class leading power. When I wanted to buy my car, i decided to buy the Mercedes A250 sport which is almost same performance to the GTI. Than when the GTI was launched i decided to give it a try eventhough numerous rumours of the DSG problem. When i test drove both rivals, the GTI won my heart. Its power was uncompara[...]
    Before i start let me remind you its not for comfort driving. If so lets continue. I feel the performance can tweaked more for power but its still ok. The looks is still not up to date but its getting there. VW should make optional items for this car like keyless ignition and keyless entry, panoramic roof, LED rear headlights and a styling kit.

Bought new, Owned for 2 Years
Fuel Economy: 7.5 km/litre (13.3 L/100 km), RON97, Mileage: 1,000 km/month
    For starters this car has very good looks and appeal, definitely a head turner especially with the dynamic line.

    The car has a decent amount of power, acceleration is good and car feels stable during high speed. In fact, it drives like a sports car.

    Seats are pretty comfortable. Bucket seats are lovely. Good quality materials used for the[...]
    Road noise is loud and irritating at times, not what you expect from a car of this price. Gearbox may sometimes be very indecisive. Rotary Gearknob may sometimes be abit slow to respond. Although it has power, the turbo lag can be very irritating. Poor visibility around the car, many blind spots, poor rear visibility due to the design of the car[...]

    -Well built solid body and chassis
