k.. first impression? its hideous.... no love at first sight .. not even a "like" ... i have to look at this car again and again to convince myself that is looks good. i dont find the front part so attractive .. the rear is fine. about styling, i still think that the previous myvi especially the SE model looks much better and bigger.
so when i stepped inside, it was all ok ... the seating position is absolutely fine with me. everything looks clear except the rear view mirror and/or the rear windscreen. the reflection on the rear view mirror is weird. idk which to blame. mirrors are supposed to reflect anything and form an image EXACTLY the same as the object and not alter them. coz when i looked at it, the guy sitting directly behind the car looked like he was being warped into another dimension. it was like looking through a fish bowl. well its not that bad, but you get the picture. the rear windscreen is really small so it reduces confidence in estimating distance like when reversing.
seating. no problems with the front seats. i didnt adjust the seats coz i dare not to coz it was a new car on display so id rather not "change" anything ... however, i did twiddle a bit with the buttons to see how they feel.. back to seating, i hopped on to the rear seats. no problems with leg room and head room but somehow they were not very relaxing. if im on a long distance trip with my friend sitting at the back, i might have a backache when i get out of the car coz i have to sit up straight all the way with just a very slight slant to the back. that is how the rear seat feels. comfy, but not so relaxing. my Proton Saga FL's rear seats are much more comfy compared to this myvi. ok maybe i shouldn't compare a sedan with a compact? ... maybe ...
not done with interior. the dashboard seemed fine but cheap. the buttons and knobs felt lose and i cant believe that i find it difficult to turn the air-cond blower variant knob. i came up with that term ... xD ya know? the one u turn or slide to choose where you want the air-cond to blow? top only/top and feet/feet only/ .... yeah that one... it was DIFFICULT and i couldn't understand where the pointer was pointing at when it stops at a point to select a mode... it was like, in between 2 modes (between blowing to "top only" and "top and feet" .. and somewhere between there even) ... confusing. other knobs were just plain simple.. they did not bring up the classy feel of a new and high quality car.. instead the buttons and knobs tried to convey a message that they are cheap but being sold at a price that average people would need to think twice before making a purchase.
the only nice thing about the interior is the steering. it was smooth all around and nice to hold..
now move on to driving .... (data not available) .... oh right .. sorry .. i didnt drive it.. i couldn't even if i want to ... coz i was there only for a short time checking out this car and there were no test drive sessions. so maybe next time ... do you find this intriguing till it makes you want to check out for yourself? no? its ok.. im not surprised.. im not a professional car reviewer.. im just an enthusiast like many of you out there.
the best way to decide if that car is really yours is to see it for yourself. check them thoroughly and survey other cars too in your chosen car category.
uh ... i dont know what else to say ... for pricing and specs? i think its best if you check out their website. its all listed there. here: www.perodua.com.my/ ...
k thats all ... until next time, see you next time ... live life.. you are awesome ..
