I don't think it'll affect MyVi's sales that much. Alza costs more than MyVi and not everybody wants to buy a 7-seater. MyVi's main market is university undergraduates, working singles and small families. Most of the girls I know own a MyVi, don't think they'd choose the bigger variant.

i dont think theres gonna be any effect, since both have very different target users..

Security upgrades next year, Myvi owners told

PERODUA Myvi owners will have to wait till next year to get their cars fixed for free at Perodua service centres
to prevent airbag thefts.

“The field-fix will only be ready in January and we will brief all Perodua service centres on the necessary details starting next month.

Only then can Myvi owners receive the free upgrades at the respective service centres,” said Perodua Sales Sdn Bhd operations director Suhaimi Anuar.

Yesterday, Malay Mail frontpaged the issue of Myvi cars being targeted by thieves — particularly the airbags,
which are sold on the black market to unscrupulous parts dealers.

Thieves with the technical knowhow can easily open up the Myvi hood and short-circuit certain devices to gain access to all the vehicle doors. Once they manage to do this, stealing the airbags is no longer a problem.
According to Suhaimi, an exact date when the owners can have their cars checked cannot be given because the availability of the supplies needed cannot be confirmed yet.

“A meeting was held to discuss this matter today (yesterday). Hopefully, we will be able to start the field-fix for our customers by the end of January or the beginning of February.”

The models produced recently do not have this security problem as the cars have had a software upgrade. But those who purchased their vehicles before April will need to visit the Perodua service centre to get their vehicles checked for security upgrades.

The repair work is basically a retro-fit to fix the alarm system so that it will not be targeted by the thieves easily.
The alarm will be triggered if thieves try to open the hood. “We will also be able to check which cars will need to fixed by checking the chassis number. This will help the service centres decide whether it’s necessary for the vehicle,” added Suhaimi.

Perodua also confirmed it had no plans to make any special announcement on the matter at the moment.
Kuala Lumpur and Malacca police have formed special task forces to target the syndicates ever since this
spate of bizarre Myvi airbag thefts began cropping up last year.

Kuala Lumpur deputy CID chief ACP Khairi Ahrasa confirmed that more than 50 cases have been reported in the Sentul district itself — mostly in Wangsa Maju, Setapak and Kepong.

Meanwhile Malacca CID chief ACP Adnan Abdullah said the state had recorded more than 17 airbag thefts with the majority of the cases reported in central Malacca. Malacca police are working closely with their Kuala Lumpur counterparts to nail the syndicate.

There are some 194,000 units of Perodua Myvi (premium and SE) that are fitted with airbags, out of the 355,000 units of Myvi on the road as of September 2009.
