I went and test drove the Myvi for a 2nd time today.. the Myvi 1.5 Extreme full spec auto..
Basically i can say steering for it is a tad heavier than original Myvi but very well weighted.. Sitting position is good.. But the fella who said it was bucket seats can come suck my c0ck and call me daddy.. Power wise its much more powerful than 1.3 lah.. But the gearbox feels very lazy to change gear.. a lot of lag between gears.. Throttle lag is still there as always in a typical Myvi..
Comfort is quite good.. Very smooth ride, but the engine is too noisy for me, even noisier than PE when revved hard, even normal driving at 3k-3.5k rpm the engine noise is a tad too loud for comfort..
Handling wise no need to say lah.. Bodyroll still a lot thanks to the absent of ARB, Cornering at speed doesnt instill confidence in the driver..
OMFG!! What they did to the sound system lah.. Its as good as Viva's sound system.. PE one is way better, can be tune for some slight bass etc.. The Myvi one when blasted it feels like the speakers is rattling in its housing.
TOuchscreen navigation is quite ok, nothing to shout about, the UI seems a bit like those China 2-DIN touchscreen..
Performance, as claimed by Sam wong that its fast.. NAH! I timed it with 3 adults in the car, auto extreme full spec, the best i could do was almost 13secs to 100.. ANd the engine was damn noisy.. Car definitely felt more planted than the ori 1.3Myvi but no where near PE.. FC wise dunno how to say lah.. But the red meter color seems devilish to me, i like!

Overall when driving the Myvi around, i collected a lot of stares and smiles from girls all around.. Sunway and Mentari area.. It was in bright banana yellow color.. and the assistant was kind enough to let me test drive at any roads i wanted cos he was very free.. My NL liked it alot, especially the yellow color.. Although the Myvi is expensive, 61.7k for the car, i feel that its not so over priced, considering it has dual airbags, ABS, touchscreen intergrated ICE, good resale value, girls dig it and it very spacious for 4 occupants in real life.. Very practical car.. If only it had Lotus handling, proton can close shop.
What i can say is that P2 has considered what the public generates as value added stuffs in the car. I went for a survey last time by Neilsens survey and that was what i stated in their very comprehensive survey. Insulation felt quite ok (except for the engine noise) and it was really very easy and delightful for a girl to drive..
Oh yeah bout the dashboard mounted gear lever.. it takes some time to get used to.. When i wanted to downshift i was grabbing thin air frantically of where the normal gearbox would be.. haha..
Thats the true and honest review bout the car.. without and prejudice to Myvi..
u on aircond to test 0-100?i off aircond during pick up from 0-100..hehe..quite fast actuali for 1.5..yup,the noise from engine after 4k rpm is loud,but if normal city drive(below 3k rpm),the engine quiet than Persona..
