Hi again all... It's been a rough day since the last update on my blog. As I said, busy, busy, buuuuuuuuuuzzzzzyyyyyyyyyy the whole time until I almost forgot my blog and even Facebook too. Gosh! Alright, enough about the crap and let's get started with our story.
This time I'm gonna write about Perodua Myvi S.E 1.3 that belong to my friend. Basic info about this car, Malaysia made car from Perodua and model based on Japan K-car Daihatsu Boon or Toyota Passo. This car has the best sales performance for 9 consecutive years and has beat the Proton B-segment car Proton Savvy sales. (yeah well, I feel that...)There's a first generation Perodua Myvi before this model. I'm not gonna write about it at here because you can always check it on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perodua_Myvi .
Myvi SE the white Decepticon
Alright, wondering why I write about this Myvi? What so special about it? As you can see on the title, Myvi SE aka White Decepticon. Decepticon??? Wasn't Decepticon supposed to be on air and Autobot on land??? Why not? Look at Barricade, so? You got a problem sir? heheheh...
See...the eye of Starscream and the reason why I said White Decepticon
Stock bulb lamp look so dumb...Guess that's why he changed it to blue LED and make it look more aggressive, simple and cool! Can't deny, lots of youngster drive this SE model because of it stylish headlamp design. There's a first 2nd generation model before this SE model launch, really look total dumb and no sense of humor...yeah~~~~
Take a bit further view...This is how it looks with foglamp on.
You can say this car is rebadged from Daihatsu Boon, but 1 thing you have to know is, this car has different design compare to all those out there. Don't believe it? Check your own and tell me what is same with this model... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daihatsu_Boon
That emblem...I want it too
This is ass.... I mean back view of Myvi SE. Slightly a bit different compared to 1st generation Myvi...But Hell NO!!! This new Myvi SE is completely badass!!! Who care about old model if there's a new model that are better, improved and upgraded... Upgraded??? yeap! Engine upgraded and safety features....
This is K3-VE DOHC Twin-Cam 1.3 DVVT
1.3L version engine was same as previous 1st generation Myvi 1.3 but with tune up to increase another 10HP. (at least faster a bit than before)DVVTandEFI which is on the best fuel consumption for city use and long run. There's another version engine for this 2nd generation Myvi.1.5L 3SZ-VE DOHC DVVTand EFI and also run ontiming chain instead of timing belt. It also featuresVVT-i... hurmm...Toyota technology eyh...
Basic safety features for SE model
Nowadays car should have all this basic safety features installed. Or else it's not a car.... hihihi...just joking as my Savvy only had ABS installed....
The interior...Based on Toyota Passo gear knob mount on dashboard
Oh well, I guess worth it if you bought a car with the price RM57k and get a JDM design and feel. Well, Perodua Myvi was actually collaborate with Daihatsu and Toyota to build it. Why? Same answer, read it on wikipedia... As you can see, you get a local car with local price but chassis of Daihatsu and engine technology from Toyota. Also, you can easily get the parts because some of the model parts are totally same just plug-and-play. What else do you complaint??? No complaint on everything, just one advice for Perodua, increase your chassis strength. And they already succeed it with they new toys... Perodua Axia, get 4 stars on ASEAN NCAP crash test compare to Perodua Myvi 3 stars. At leats gets better right...
