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....

read here for more comment, got lots of comment in paultan :

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.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai_i20

price maybe higher than current i10 but i guess its a very good car. better than myvi or viva

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!!!

there is also 1.2l kappa engine which should gives better FC and more powerful too...but i dont know when it will be launched..

i think kappa 1.2 engine i10 wont b available in malaysia...

Agreed. Apart from being ugly (which is very subjective), I really dont understand how people can tolerate the "milo tin" feel of viva especially when they close the door....

Agree...bcause I am owning a viva... ---Hate it so much....Change my Iswara v my mum viva(forced to)
Close the door then I feel shy among my frens...milo tin...
But 1 thing I guess viva better is viva can go to 160 in highway,tat 4 sure as I do always...
Just close ur ear bcause the engine sound sucks...

Sound proof mar...

Hi dian_kasalisa,
did u test drive for both i10 & viva?
what's your final decision?
im also facing the same doubt like u, either i10 or viva..
im doubt if i10 is better than viva, but viva on the roads are more than i10..rili wonder about tis..
is i10 spaceful than viva?

i10 no doubt. Outlook design as well as the interior is much better in my opinion. Engine, fuel efficiency & space aside first.

thats the best part

rare car, boring liao looks evrywher also p2 car.. no offence, bt just diff of taste...

btw, i10 not 'that' rare... ive seen increasing i10 owner around kl...
might be the common malaysian perception on koreans car,

loll...good idea!
yaya..perception on korean cars,
i was worried cuz many ppl bad comments on korean cars..no confident, that's y...i was questioning..
however, i saw a lots of users of i10 have good comments in this car.

hate to say it but between these two, its a lose lose situation. viva ( the new elite ) i drive before got terrible handling i mean, i know it one of the cheapest car out there but it worse then a 15 year japs car!

i10 how ever, the only plus points are the looks n space( which is compared with viva), n a tad better handling then viva(which is from worse to bad lol ), but fc is kinda hig the 1.0 is very much underpowered almost same as the atoz. then again the high fc is due to always revving to get it moving!

if i were u, ditch both n safe more for better car. at least better handling car.

well, u cant expect i10 to have fc like viva, kancil or kelisa didnt u?

i own an i10, my brother drove a saga blm and myvi,
compare the fc, i10 is better,..

yeah true, before my 2nd service, the fc is pure bad, not up to expectation,
most i can get was 11km/l.. and the ads stated 17.2km/l for auto,

now mileage is 11k, im happy with it, fc getting better, ranging 13-15km/l..
mostly city drive.

atoz a fuel guzzler, i10 use exactly the same engine as atoz. sounds as its real bad as using the old engine for new model. but i wonder why i10 fc is better?.. eps helps maybe?

but still, theres of course few i10 driver complaints on the fc, its true, maybe the way i drive affects my fc...

totally agree

half year liao still havent decide ar.... hahah
choose potong savvy u get fuel economy, great handling, 2 airbag, abs, ebd etc. but need careful maintainance.

anyway, if can wait, do wait for i20, or join the myvi army.

the only way u gonna get more than 3 stars is by using 4 airbags. when the car came into msia..usually they only provide us with 2 airbags. hyundai i10 got 4 stars 4 ncap..but was tested with 4 airbags. so the 4 stars advertised in our market is questionable since our i10 only got 2 airbags. pls check ncap website for more information.

Added on January 12, 2010, 7:11 pmour waja got 3 stars in euro ncap..but if looking at the tested car spec..the waja got side body airbag. the only p1 car got 4 airbag i guess.

I like i10 design
Compared to Viva 3.5 interest rate
I suggest to buy i10, the interest rate is only 1.99% now!

does our i10 equipped with ESC? (Electronic Stability Control)

could be my connection here, but i cant see what you posted zero_hour

me neither, could be that he meant to show us a blank pic....lol

i heard that the resale value for inokom car is really low.

And also is the spare part cost high for inokom ?

Id advise you to get neither .

Save up to get at least a myvi .

Cause no offence to owners of both cars.

Both of the car feels like crap. handles like crap.

Had to drive one for 2 days . Felt like committing hara - kiri everytime i sat in it .

Not trying to be arrogant of wtv, but seriously . get a myvi .

I drive my younger brother's myvi around abit cause im still waiting for my civic.

but if u compare it to the i10, the myvi is definitely a level higher.

the space, the power. not to mention the handling which definitely is better than the small little toy car.

160 in a viva, as posted by someone up top. all i have to say is, think about your loved ones. u hit a bump on the highway, hats off to you, because I would honestly think no one will survive the impact.

myvi handling better?

if you were to compare it to the civic i just took delivery off. obviously no.

but compare it to the viva. i feel that the handling is more solid...

you can go test drive it and see for yourself.

my one concern is the tyres on the stock myvi. lacks grip of any kind. .

myvi handling compare to i10?

normal power steering compare to electronic power steering?

u sure?

I owned an hyundai x20 (Elantra 2000cc) since 2008. Nice car still!
i never , ever bother on the resale value at all time. Spare parts costly, anyone can share the experience here maybe because I am not sure what does it imply on? If ppl are referring regular maintenance fee, it is rather low maintenance cost compare to same 2000cc level of cars (T, or H brands). Some more, I alway buy my own engine oil separately (5w-40 fully Pennzoil) at RM110++ each one liter of bottle. Replace the oil filter RM10-RM15. Labour charge RM20.00. Mileage reaching up to 16K KM only then I went to change engine oil, no problem. Fuel consumption on this 2000cc car is around 10.5km/Liter ++. Depends on my right "foot". Mostly highway driving.

Added on May 20, 2010, 8:27 pmDilemma: About Hyundai spare parts costing.

Lets do the math. The comparison for 2000cc of Hyundai Elantra, with H-civic, with T-camry. RM98K++ VS RM126K++ VS RM150K++
(First came to my mind was the "branded" car is over-priced).

126 - 98 = 28K difference. If buying a Civic car, how come no one complain about the car pricey? Instead, while user did not notice the "branding" tricks your eyes. But they willing to pay extra (E.g. 28K) for the H-brand, maybe the buyers decided due to some of the reason was to avoid the (Korean) costly spare parts costing.....

Verdict to me is, for long term both brands's car would just end up like "invested" with the approximate amount of cost (Assuming the Korean's car does have costly spare parts, Ie RM28K+). This is my personal thoughts..

Civic, C segment car.
Camry, D segment car. (So, not appropriate to compare with C segment $$)

still i10 better in term in safety, that's wht matter the most.. viva seriously feel like a bit better then kancil..

i feel like kancil is better den viva >< m i sumthing wrong? my house got full range of perodua

i prefer i10 out of viva..
if u wan say 2nd hand value, all also don't have, which that i can say...
if wan resale value, go for T&H only..
if in term of viva or i10, why not get saga BLM B or M-line??

Funny how everyone say Viva is overpriced but nobody say i10 is overpriced? Weird!

If you want to throw more $$ away faster and think that you have got a good deal in the i10,then by all means get the i10.

If you want to throw less $$ away,get the Viva.More economical,spare parts are cheap and reliable cuz got Jap DNA and pls la dont say not stable and handling like shit and all.Its just a 1.0 car,what the hell you all expect? Nobody is going to race in a Viva la ok

And next time you wanna sell your Viva,theres plenty of ppl who want to buy it.When u try to sell ur i10,i doubt any1 is gonna buy it unless u sell it below market value.

my i10 is just fine, it takes me from one place to another with ease. The Viva is based on the Daewoo which is Korean company albeit bought by Toyota. Both the Viva and i10 are great little cars with great spunk, i drove both and i can say that both of them are good at what they were built for which is the super compact car and when it comes to resale value you have to understand that the market is saturated with Perodua and Proton cars.

So in other words... Viva/i10 whatever you choose you wont lose out.

i would go for the i10 eventhough it looks like crap and probably has a bad resale value.

why?

all because of the 4 star euro ncap safety

u have resale value also useless if you cant be there to sell your car.

p2 n hyundai.. hermm.. who is the local car production?
coz of tax, the i10 basic same as viva elite.. w/o tax how?

overpriced but hv 4 star rating in safety, viva?

my mom own a vios s 2008, she want to change to camry n trade the vios, she ask promoter whom she deal when buying vios last time... the promoter said 'better sell ur car to ur family, the value go down too much' so my mom wait until me can pay the vios monthly n she just buy another car.. huhu

so any car do hv bad resale value ler.. even the infamous vios ler
