Mine is Medallion Grey. I find the UV protection that comes with the car sufficient.

Why not just check Perodua's website for the standard price listings? Discounts and freebies depend on different dealers.

QUOTE(dickybird @ Nov 29 2009, 11:20 AM) but when a myvi can hit another stationary car in front of it while parking, that is not an accident, that is sheer blindness! Not sure if you're talking about me, but I didn't hit any cars. I did have a couple of scrapes with walls though.

I still haven't figured out how the Bluetooth thing in my MyVi works. I don't really need or want to take calls using Bluetooth. So far I've only played music from a CD.

MyVi was my 3rd choice. Vios was my 2nd choice and Swift was my 1st choice. But like CooShyRee I decided to buy a MyVi because it was much cheaper. I'm a low mileage driver anyway, just need the car to go to work and buy stuff. I've owned the car for almost a month and only hit 230km.

I've driven only 3+ weeks actually, not 6 weeks. But yeah I don't drive much. I'm lucky my office in Mid Valley, and I stay in Bangsar. So only about 3, 4km. What's more, sometimes I prefer to take shuttle bus because it's free.

QUOTE(dokidoki @ Dec 3 2009, 01:53 PM) aih...my vivi still havent come back to me...cos the paint work cannot pass QC  Who's QC? Perodua's internal QC? Hmm, at least they're being honest about it. Painting shouldn't take that long, how much more time did they say you'd have to wait?

Guys, I think my windscreen wipers are leaving faint scratches on my windscreen. Can see a faint straight line caused by the left wiper. Is it because my wipers are too tight? I noticed it the other day after I turned on my wipers to high speed.

QUOTE(nottyKitty @ Dec 4 2009, 11:07 AM) Andrew, trying wiping your wiper rubber.. sometimes got small stone/chips that can leave scratches.. Hmm, okay. I'll try, the scratches aren't visible when it's not raining, but when raining can see...

One of the benefits of having a Medallion Grey MyVi is that dirt is not obvious. I wash my car once per week. I just use a microfiber cloth and water to wipe away the dirt.

My MyVi EE also high fuel consumption, even though I hardly exceed 80km/h. But I already expected this before I bought the car. Hopefully after one or two services will get better.

psydict: You're right, there's fine print on the coupon that says you have a month's grace period. Anyway I called the Perodua SC @ PJ and make a booking for 8:30am this Wednesday. My first time going to service car, so exciting.
