Myvi or gen2?

[aku_sangap]

bro aku_sanggap,

this is the 2nd time my roof lining came off, it started peeling off the 1st month i got my car, the protong service advisor claimed they have changed it BUT now, it peel off again.
my air cond vent also same problem with u, its very loose but EON refuse to change it for me, claiming that its not a problem... cib@i

yep, i also got the same answer for that stupid air cond vent problem!..they also said that, it's damn hard laa to replace that air cond vent, need to remove the whole dashboard laa..etc..etc..need to order, to respray laa..wtf!!..pissed me off big time then, i straight away went to OU watch cinema lagi better..ahahah..(proton mutiara damansara)..

btw, regarding that roof line, will the proton replace the whole thingy?..coz' rite now, my roof line (behind, at rear w/screen, kinda' "jatuh" a bit laa..)..wtf is wrong ha?..how on earth that thingy "jatuh" i also dunno...f**ked up QC i supposed!!..shesshh!!...

Nismo

I definitely chose GEN2 manual version, good pickup, fast delivery, easy maintainace, could upgrade engine in future to EVO4 engine.
Don't think twice man...interior Myvi and GEN2 or other local CKD almost the same...CHEAP and COST DOwn material even latest Toyota CAMRY interior.
At least GEN2 Proton installer do not have tight deadline, wherelse MYVI already 38000 units pending in their log book, so imagine the extra working overtime to their installer. They are slugish and prone to mistake in assemblem a car.
GEN 2 is like a MACHO Local man car wherelse MYVI for pussy.

Cherio...aligato gen 2 san!!!

 

[pdguy]

boys boys .... dont get carried away ok ! all of know wat is proton doing n wat type of cars that they make ! so wat need to be done is buy a proton e.g. wira wat ever year jus take the body buy half cut from japan and convert it internal plus external n walla u get a japan car wit malaysian body ! but then again hav to 'cautim' wit our so called law n order in car modifications ..... hehehehehe

 

[aku_sangap]

Obviously one who didn't read the other posts.

They probably stopped the production line for the Gen 2 because there are so many lying around because nobody wants one. You buy one now, it'll probably have been lying around in the hot sun and rain. That's before you consider the QC they have, which is useless. I'd rather take my chances with a Myvi.

On the final phrase, the Gen 2 is a car for someone who is completely bonkers whereas the Myvi is for someone who still has all his mental faculties in working order.

 

[aku_sangap]

hahhahaa.....what to do, we live in MALAYSIA maa...no thanks to high tax, tax here, tax there...everything also want to tax..ahahahah....btw, im still glad that, MALAYSIA..although a small country still can produced CARS...rite...*give some face laa*..ehehe....PROUD TO BE MALAYSIAN...

 

[amadeus]

for the roof lining, they will change the whole part, but the sad thing is that u gotta wait for half a day for the to complete it and this is ONLY if they have stock

 

[aku_sangap]

Spoon3838,

"Nuisance and problems" comes as standard in Proton. kakakaka...

 

[si|verfish]

Yeah.

Proton's marketing team should come up with something like;
"When you buy a Proton, you can be sure you are getting your money's worth of low quality parts and it comes as standard with poor quality control. If you have driven your Proton for a month and nothing has gone wrong, bring it back to the factory and we'll replace it with a new one for no extra costs. Proton, dissatisfaction guaranteed!"

 

[facelift]

I think everyone already know the condition of Proton cars. So, to me, the question of myvi or gen2 is silly.

I've driven a Perodua MyVi (my sis's car) and can say for one thing... the QC is WAY better than my mech's Waja 1.8X. All the dashboard trimmings are properly moulded.

The only complaint are the doors... they are too light / noisy (goes 'klunk' aka Gen2 style).

Can't wait after 5 years to dump a K3-VET inside (after prices of K parts come down).

Hehehe...

In case u still prefer a Gen2, take a look at this first...

Not all Gen2 will suffer similar fate but... it is a gamble...

 

[hobcai]

few fred of mine also owned G2 :

1. roof water leaking water
2. seat adjuster broken
3. engine high rpm ,sometimes

Go for Myvi. Gen2 is just another nicely designed cheaply built plastic crank case from Proton.

Myvi Pros

1. HUGE interior
2. Build quality (Better than Avanza, on par with Vios)
3. It's actually a rebadged Passo/ Boon/ Sirion
4. Looks rather good.
5. Best in class if you were to pitch it agains Getz/Jazz/Picanto/Savvy (In terms of what you pay VS what you get)
6. Variable Valve Timing

Myvi Cons

1. It's just a K car
2. It's not a Passo
3. The news where a Myvi's rear axle snapped in circuit racing.
4. The central air conditioners looked rather awkward
5. Malaysian Plastics

Gen2 Pros

1. Looks rather good
2. Lotus Handling (If the car can withstand it....)

Gen2 Cons

1. It's a Proton
2. Made out of action figures (Well said silverfish, i was thinking the same as well)
3. Build Quality (I shouldnt mention right? Everyone knew a Proton does)
4. Rear Head Room (Better go, No Rear Head Room)
5. Spend half of your life to Proton's service center after buying it.

For this price I'd go:

Year 2001/2 Fiat Punto HGT - 1.8liter, 130hp, Sunroof, ABS, Traction Control, AirBags, Adjustable Steering Ratio, Excellent Handling and lastly, eat a stock Satria GTi for breakfast.

I even found one for you:

FIAT PUNTO 1.8 (M) '00, 2 doors, 1 owner, met, sunroof, l/mile, acc free, perfect cond. RM44k neg. 03-42522333 / 42577333 --16/2/2006

so long.. tired lar.. should just put as.

Proton---"Don't Expect Much"

ingolstadt: some of your myvi cons isn't really a con, since its up to the person's taste. but i do agree on the rear suspension snapped tho..

power is impresive for a 1.3liter a/t with 3 adult male sitting inside, won't really feel the gforce, but its very good for normal driving. and i like it very much since its the first local car or cheaper cars that i sit in and actually can say "gee... so much space!!" since its the first one i sit in and still can swing my legs around (i'm near 6') while most car is just too short.

i would say myvi is the best affordable car for nowaday's long legged youngster XD

Can't you see that i'm tryin real hard to give it some bad points? lol !

Anyway, i vouch for Perodua's quality build. They are on-par with TomYam Toyotas already !
