Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 18.0 km/litre (5.6 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 18 km/month
    1. Affordable to most low-medium income people in Malaysia
    2. Can consider very silent with air-conditioner is on
    3. Can put a 1kg abc fire extinguisher under driver seats (Easy to get and keep and no worry about rolling out to your peddle)
    4. Pickup is good for manual but for auto which I tried before, it shakes and it feels like going to off your engine
    5. Sun shade comes with a mirror on both driver and passenger seat
    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
    5. Should have a cover on sun shade mirror compulsory for driver side as will distract people
To Improve
Read the Cons and try to solve all the cons. Nothing is impossible to solve and improve. Must do R&D and not just only C&D (Copy & Development) with lower specifications and not a smart ways...

    The interior space,allowed plenty rooms for driver and passengers.
    Low fuel consumption.
    Lack of basic accessories both internal and external.
    Poor body paint especially on the base of the car and tyre areas. It appears like a shoddy workmanship.

SE 1.0 MT (2014)
Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 15.0 km/litre (6.7 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 2,000 km/month
    - Having a manual really releases some power in it. Doesn't mean the auto is underpowered though. Nothing to complain on the engine even if it's a 1.0
    - Very smooth ride, despite a sluggish start on the 1st gear
    - Fuel efficiency is great! I guess it's a good and bad thing that the car is light
    - Body roll while cornering is pretty impressive
    - Awesome space inside. Driver seat has been adjusted to suit me (178cm) and still there's a good space behind
    - I find the little petty features really convenient eg. compartment at the driver side, handbag hook, tissue compartment
    - I feel the ride height is a bit high; if it were lowered, it would definitely be more stable while driving on the highway. I personally won't change it so I won't void any warranties though
    - I believe a lot of people have voiced out about the lack of auto-door lock, but can't expect much from the price of the car
    - Lots and lots of axias on the road now. Which is sorta a good thing but it's a bit hard to distinguish which is yours especially in a parking lot
To Improve
Ride height should be lowered to improve stability. Rather than changing the rims, I would rather opt for the ride height. Imagine the 1.0 turning a heavier 15-inch set.

    - Loud noise when the aircon is turn on.
    - No buzzer sound when locking and unlocking.
    - No door visor (all variant)(aftermarket visor is not long lasting)

Standard G 1.0 MT (2014)
Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 21.7 km/litre (4.6 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 2,000 km/month
    Eco feature really helps in saving fuel (21.7km/L says it all, even with slight uphills, traffic jams)
    Doesn't feel under-power at all, the handling is easy.
    Super cool air-con, Spacious interior
    Low noise from engine when car is idle
    Smart tag drawer is very useful, delayed dim lights gives the car a premium feeling.
    Design of door compartment can fit more than just water bottle, it can even fit in other stuffs
    Seat back tissue compartment is well designed, it can actually double as a small hidden storage.
    Rear leg room is very good, there is even a strap under the driver seat to hold something (Steering lock/med-kit)
    Sound quality of Audio system is not the best but quite decent.
    The Steering feels great to hold.
    1st gear is not smooth enough, especially during idle start.
    The 2 Cup holders and the one at the center is a bit too small to fit glass bottle.
    No door visor option too add on (for Standard models)
    No buzzer for alarm on/off.
    No auto center locking.
    No trunk tray option to add on. (I could only get a smaller tray that is smaller than the trunk)
To Improve
It would be more complete if the Alarm buzzer is present, as well as the auto center locking upon pressing the breaks.
Door visor, trunk trays and other accessories to be available as add-on.
Adjust slightly more power to the 1st gear for smoother start, while maintaining the fuel efficiency.

    - spacious boot for small car
    - front censor too sensitive especially when motorcyclists passing by during traffic

To Improve
- ON/OFF button for front censor
- vanity mirror for front passenger
- gear stick position like Myvi's
- fully flat when backseats are lowered
Yes, I would recommend this car

    - noise insulation is quiet good on such value car
    - smooth ride, and steering is easily to move around
    - like the steering wheel button control
    - windows tint from manufacturer is quite good, LLumar tint

Standard G 1.0 AT (2014)
Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 9.7 km/litre (10.3 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 1,000 km/month
    - Decent space, bigger than Viva, but just slightly smaller than Myvi. Head room and leg room (both front and back) is surprisingly good considering the vehicle of this size and class.
    - Gearbox smoother compared to the older range of Perodua Automatic transmission models like Myvi and Viva. No more gear shift jerk.
    - NVH is decent, idling vibration is minimal when Neutral gear is engaged. Engine noise only audible when engine rev above 2-3k rpm.
    - 10k mileage service interval, which is a big improvement compared to older models with 3k or 5k service intervals.
    - Very light electric power steering
    - Turning radius is good enough, especially making a u turn around tight corners.
    - Very slow throttle response, probably due to its electronic throttle system
    - Power feels sluggish when second to third gear change.
    - My first tank of fuel is a bit high fuel consumption at 9.7km/l, not even half of the claimed 20km/l. Not reasonable since this is an EEV
    - The electric power steering feels slow and sluggish compared to hydraulic version of it on the Myvi and Viva. When negotiating out of the corner, it turns back to center position slower than normal, i have to use my hands to pull it back to center position, instead of just letting the steering go back automatically to its center position in hydraulic power steering. It feels numb too.
    - No ABS and EBD, some claimed that the car is too slow to require such feature, but still it is still a good safety feature.
To Improve
Include ABS and EBD onto the car is a must. I dont get it why is this feature being removed since the old Viva had it. Removing a good safety feature to cut cost is not a good idea.
Yes, I would recommend this car

SE 1.0 MT (2014)
Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 18.9 km/litre (5.3 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 500 km/month
    -Fuel Saving: Doing 380 + KM so far and clocking 18.9-19.5 KM/L depending in the jam in KL
    -Nice handling: Smooth turnings around corners, fair grip for a car this range
    -Space: Loads of legroom for everyone
    -Quiet: Engine revs decently quiet compared to the Myvi and Saga
    -Springy: Picks up quite fast despite the low cc (ECO Mode Off)
    -Cup holders: For some reason more is better (easily 5 cups)
    -Gearbox: Gear changing must be done with care, gear changing feels flimsy
    -Sluggish: Car tends to get sluggish when ECO Mode is on
    -Slow Pick up: At Gear 1 and 2 the rev count needs to hit at least 2 (Comparing to a Myvi)
    -Interior: It seems to provide more space as the interior panel is noticeably shifted higher not a big problem but the next problem will further explain.
    -Steering height: The height of the steering wheel is nonadjustable while the seats have minimal height control. with the higher interior shorter friend have a problem with visibility (People who are too tall/too short will find this quite uncomfortable, i'm 170cm btw)
To Improve
-Gear changing could be very much improved.
-Interior design can be still improved to cater to drivers of all heights
Yes, I would recommend this car

    - Very fuel saving, 17.7km/litre before engine run in (430km on odo)
    - Turning radius is very good, U-turn on traffic light only requires 1 and half lane
    - Engine and gearbox is smooth after 10km/h for a 3 potter
    - Easy to park due to turning radius and car length
    - Many useful features for female (anti bag lock, tissue container and 2 hooks built in at the back of front seats)
    - High seating position, good driving visibility at front
    - Huge leg room for front and rear passenger
    - Big boot for the car of this segment
    - Very bright fog lamp
    - Rough pickup, car is jerking at below 10km/h
    - Road and engine noise after 80km/h
    - Under power on slope, but this car is not built for performance anyway. Sufficient for city use
    - Rear seat position is too straight, not comfortable for long journey. Anyway this car is just mean for city drive
    - Head unit easy to hang when turning on Radio and browsing GPS settings. Power off button doesn't work at all when hang
    - Bad visibility at the rear due to the big C-pillar and positioning blocks the view when reverse
    - Halogen bulb light range is short
To Improve
- More stable head unit software
- Better halogen bulb (planning to change to Philips halogen bulb myself later)
- Improve on low rpm jerk
Yes, I would recommend this car
