Review of the Myvi Perodua, a Malaysian Car

Standing at 1.3 litres of engine capacity, the 'Perodua Myvi' remains the top choice when it comes to buying a car. Especially at entry level, most 'Malaysians' seem to lean towards this particular model. I, myself drive one. And I am about to tell you what it feels like driving one, after 3 months.

I think that it the price of RM40,000 (give and take) for a small car like this is a little overpriced. But, the plus points of the 'Myvi' is its spacious compartments inside. The interior can even cater to a giant 6 footer, I believe. Your head will never have to bump against the roof anymore.

Driving experience when on the 'Myvi' is like driving a 'Mini Cooper' (I have never driven one yet). Power steering makes it effective at turning, with its small dimension. Talking about car size, it is relatively very easy to park. Personally, I do not need to change gears from reverse to drive more than twice. That, I think is the biggest advantage a 1.3 litres capacity car can provide; the small size advantage (yet decent engine performance).

You will need to refuel every 350-400km for RM60 (give and take for 'RON95' petrol). Always diligently applying overdrive only when necessary, inflating tyre pressures to 220kPa, letting the 'Myvi' "roll" most of the time on road; these are some of the practices that make up the statistic for the RM60 fuel price tag. For the overdrive part, the car is driven from 0-60kph(overdrive off). Higher than that speed, I always turn the overdrive on. Long distances can make your 'Myvi' save a lot. Driving a great distance like 200km nonstop on a highway only takes up half of your fuel tank.

Acceleration for the 'Myvi' is rather "poor". As it runs on automatic transmission, that might explain. But, in most cases, I find that switching to 'OD off' helps a ton. Then again, I do not rely on this for overtaking cars. Automatic cars are rather more suited for comfortable and highway and traffic jams driving. Note that I had been driving the 1.3 litres engine capacity cars with manual transmission, where acceleration is the major strength.

Overall, for its price, comfort, maneuverability and capacity, it is worth taking a test drive on the 'Myvi'. It has its own reasons for one of the top national cars here in Malaysia. Although I will never understand its motto at the back that says "Building Cars People First". Good luck.

Why Buying a Used Car is the First Choice For New Drivers

Every year thousands of young people obtain their first driver's license and rush out to buy the car of their dreams...or just a set of wheels to get them from point A to point B. As parents, we want our young people to be in the safest vehicle we can find for them. And because of that, in the past, parents and first-time drivers went to their local new car dealership to buy a new car. Those days are well and far behind us now. The economy dictates that such an extravagance as a brand new car for our young drivers is not a feasible purchase.

A new car has an initial down payment and then, monthly payments which can be close to the cost a an apartment rental. This is not a fair financial assumption for our young people who are just starting out and trying to live on a budget far less than their parents. Then, factor in the auto insurance for this new car and this first-time driver. New drivers are notoriously targeted for the highest in insurance ratings and that new car, along with the high ratings for the driver, just skyrockets your monthly costs.

So, let's keep our feet on the ground and look at an option that has been disregarded for too long a time. When you first think of buying a used car, you worry about all the things that could be wrong with the car and the safety of the vehicle in question. Certainly, if you are buying from the local classified ads, you will need to take extra precautions to ascertain that the vehicle you are interested in is reliable and doesn't need excessive repairs. It is always a wise idea to have the car inspected by your mechanic just to ascertain the mechanical condition.

Another place to find a used car for your first-time driver is at an auction. This could be a government car auction or a public car auction. The rules for both are similar. At either auction type, you will find quite a selection of used vehicles that are generally reaped cars due to financial reasons. Meaning, the owners could not afford to continue making payments on the car or truck and the vehicle was repossessed by the loan originator. Now, these cars sit on the auction lots waiting to be sold at a fraction of their originally cost.

You can easily search for used car auctions online and delve a bit deeper into the types of vehicles and their selling prices at local auctions. This will give you a good idea at what a great discount you can really get a used car for and provide your young driver with a safe, reliable vehicle at a price you can afford.
