Hi guys...would like to ask about the i10 hyundai/inokom and viva. i would like to know which car the best and worth to buy...

who knows about it, kidnly advice on me...

tq

Never every buy VIVA. Overpriced junk.

Anything is better than VIVA. Nuff said.

Not quite agree with Matrix ...
i dunno about i10 .. but the previous ATOS sucks as i know... fuel sucking and sparepart not cheap as well.....

partly agree with Matrix ... OVERPRICED VIVA ... most perodua cars OVERPRICED .. enuf said

Hyundai Atoz. Last 4 years cost RM 42,xxx for brand new car.
Now only RM 1x,xxx .. A lot of noises from engine compartment.. Want to change parts but freaking expensive (more expensive than my honda).. Very underpowered and high fuel consumption ...

All i can say is ... Hyundai has low resale value & high maintenance ..

Perodua Viva.. No comment cause never had one before..

My opinions
Viva:
+ Less fc, better resale value, plenty after market stuff
- over priced, high loan interest, has other better valued options

i10: (test driven d Hyundai model b4 Inokom took over)
+ excellent noise insulation, stable in stock form (went up to 90-100kmh), handles and 'feels' European, good value if looking for s'thing different with features packed
- brand, resale value, questionable post waranttee period maintenece, styling

i own a i10...

for the time being, im satisfied, of course la everything ok, its a new car...
dunno anything about later on...

handling very good, fc 11-13km/l only.. good i guess.. not really like their ads stated... yup, acceleration is not very good,... climbing the bukit bangsar is very slow.. like 40++kmh only... well, im using auto, what to expect....

viva? i dont like it... i have park my i10 side to side with viva before, sure la i say my car is better look.. but other people also say like that...
i10 is higher compare to viva, the tail light is nicer look...

u should go for both the car test drive, then u know... feel the interior..

but, of course la, hyundai, quite bad resale value... but for sparepart, have inokom to handle everything...

how long u own d i10? i was confused between i10 hyundai and inokom...is't same? ya..i think i should try the car test drive 1st..but this is my 1st drive (after driving class)..i dont think i will know whether it's good or not..

ya..i read some forum..they said for height climbing looks like viva more good than i10...

i really like i10..more nicer than viva, something different than others..but worry about the maintenance, spare part, resale price, fuel consumption..i wanna buy a car that worth for me..and won't regret for the future..

wait for i20

when is that..is't same with i10?

5 stars ncap rating.

the fuel consumption is not far apart, it depends how you drive it, for resale value ? dont think about this when you are buying cars. its after all its your first car, it would atleast last like 3-5 years? any car at those years resale value drop to dirt cheap. accident happens sometimes?

the only car that doesnt drops to dirt cheap are those overpriced 10years old honda lol.

i'm sure it is...

barely 3 weeks already not even the first service yet...

its handling is super good, u should go test drive... first thing about i10 i like is the handling, super smooth, good for beginner drivers like me....

the i10 in malaysia is under inokom badge, but 1 tips la, ask the SA to change the inokom emblem to hyundai emblem... looks nicer...

i20 coming out end of this year.. told by the hyundai ppl...

I owned an i10 before Mine was the first 1000 units, fully imported. If you're a P-licenseholder like me (got my license October last year myself ) it's really an awesome car to start with. Compared to ViVa it's of course bigger, and the interior doesn't look too bad either.

I usually putt around the wide roads around my university and it's really a fun car to drive in. Of course, like another member stated up there, it's 1.1-liter engine is actually quite weak - sometimes I see those mat motor potong me on the hills... a bit embarrassing, but eh, what can you do.

The main I want to talk about is... well, did you notice I talked about my i10 in past tense? Well, after only 2 months of use I got into an accident with it. It's wrecked now, yes, but it saved me. It was a crash involving multiple cars, and my poor, poor i10's was one of them. The roof caved in, bumper smashed, driver's side remuk... but you know what? I escaped with only 2 broken teeth and a mildly cracked rib. The i10 protects the driver really well!

So, I recommend this car fully as a first car. The engine's weak, yes, but when you still have the big P slapped on your license it's better to inhibit your speed. I'm talking from experience. And the safety feature - the i10 is rated 4 stars EuroNCAP - is nothing to joke about. Seriously, get this car. Perodua has nothing on this baby.

I'm waiting for the i20 as a replacement car myself. It'll be released after the i30, which is going to be introduced in Malaysia around the end of July. I expect i20 would be around 60k... so you might want to consider waiting too.

P/S: Just imagine i10 as the baby, the i20 the teenager, and the i30 the mom/dad. Totally a happy family!

a lot of vivas out there..i10 at least more unique..

safety and comfort = i10
power = viva

power viva? u sure?


if u say fc wise viva, then i agree...

power i would say i10 still... use auto, od all the way, sacrifice some fc, and thats power for i10...

test driven the i10 before. quite fast ler. until the salesman who sit beside me ask me to slow down.heheh. tested at subang airport stretch. to me its quite powerful for a 1liter car.

my point:
i10 - great little SOLID car. you can feel it is much much stronger than the viva. Great for safety also. Viva will have a questionable milotin feel.
- on the downside, it is heavier, thus slower.

-styling - i10 is unique, quite ok interior, nice integreated cd player.
viva- ..... err.. customisable cd player?

- comfort - i10 is quieter, good enough suspension, higher siting, very comfortable.
viva - ..... not so bad lah...

- resale value - even old kancil got resale value. hyundai/innokom cars a bit difficult. if u dont care abt resale, will drive for long time then ok.

- overall... i am sided to i10
but as some say, if u can wait, go for i20
but after i test here and there.. .end up buying proton.

if u value ur life, get an i10
if u dont, get a viva

wow..luckily you safe..i will test drive the car..and will decide later..i don't like viva actually..but no choice..for i20..i believe that i'm not afford to buy it...hehehehe..

thanks for d info guys!!!
