Myvi or gen2?

[Supachip]

Hi fellow zth, I've decide to get a new car, two cars that are currently in my mind are Myvi and Gen2.

Could you guys please suggest which car is better?

Myvi - If you want to rush to market, easy parking spaces, enjoy slow ride, not keen into engine mod, more to bodykit mod.

Gen2 - you can rush to office, play a little on highway, mod engine (at least better results then Myvi), more hp than Myvi, fast rides, have bodykit, suitable for long journey.

Depends.

Which models are you planning to get?

The top of the range Myvi 1.3 against the top of the range Gen 2 1.6? There's a bit of a price difference there.

Anyhow, the Myvi is a good car. Its got all the important bases covered. Just don't expect sporty handling and performance.

About the Gen 2, I like the look of the thing, I really do. But its let down by the interior, which looks to be made out of melted action figures. Then there is the big question of Proton build quality. I've heard too many horror stories to not be able to recommend it to anybody. When even the car's doors don't close properly because the hinges weren't alligned when it was installed, you know there is going to be problems. And don't go for the 1.3 version. That's just too weedy.

its totally diff type of cars but its very hard to choose frm coz of so many factors..
well..if its the money issue...go for the myvi.u can get the top range ones instead of getting a gen2 around the lower range one.

but if u want a car that can run and handle..take the gen2.

city driving?Myvi..

i cant think of any pros for Gen2..:_: so...i suggest u go for the myvi

Yeah, budget around 50-60K.

How about the new kia Rio?

 

[si|verfish]

Hmmm, it's a rather new one and I don't think there are many people here with experience on the new Kia Rio. But if the old one is anything to go by, it is bad. Very bad.

But, given the Korean's massive rate of improvement, they are catching up to the rest at an astonishing rate. This new batch of models from Korea could just have a couple of very good cars.

Try looking and googling for car reviews on the new Rio.

Oh btw, with your budget, might you be interested in the Getz? That's rather good.

i'll get a sec hand imported car,but thanks for askin

It looks like gen 2 is being knocked out of the ring already.

I was attracted by the back appearance of Kia Rio which is very handsome.

However, from the internet review, the car seemed to have wheel alignment issues.

However, from the internet review, the car seemed to have wheel alignment issues.

Odd, but it could be attributed to build quality issues, which the Koreans still have.

gen2 vs Myvi.....is a 2 different category of car.......

it depends on what your budget and your intention....if you want a daily driven car in the city with minimun petrol usage then go for MyVi....Gen2 is a little bit on the high side for petrol usage. If you always travel long distance, take gen2..bigger car are always more comfortable for long drive travelling.

If you are planning to get the top of the range Gen2, you are no where far from Waja prices. Why not consider that.

comfort, big cabin, low mantaince = myV

sporty, handaling = G2

forget about Myvi if you need the car fast. my gf called Perodua last week,according to the personal who answer the call, their production line is still producing myvi for last year july booking.

hijack thread a bit,
i suspect some under table money and cut queue activities involves here. Anyone know where can I make report? I made my booking at August last year and i didn't hear any shit from perodua so far.

PS: the other friend of mine make the booking at june, and she still haven't get her myvi.
