Cheap car sad.gif

Why do people keep thinking this is turtle car? Its meant to be a city car, driven slowly. Not like sohai go cucuk bigger cars. Me likey the Viva wub.gif
*
the best is.. golf gti also want to cucuk my viva.. so its actually lots of brainless drivers & 1st time drive turbo-charged cars driver around..

if u r from pj, seapark.. pls take note of a golf no.plate 666.. in front mamak also want to boost.. observed many times already. hopefully boost into longkang 1 day..

Also.. more questions.

Prior to driving my new Viva I had been driving a relatively old Wira for 3 years.

So here's my experience driving Viva as compared to driving a Wira:
1. The car feels so damn high.
2. The rides feel "stiff" or "hard", as in I can feel every single tiny bump or uneven surface on the road. I'm very used to the smooth rides in my old Wira.
3. Taking corner feels like my car can topple anytime.

As I'm a complete noob when it comes to car matters, can anyone tell me the reasons to my points above? What I can do to the car to make the experience better?
*
bro, u cannot compare viva with wira..
viva is just a small town car, zippy car for u to move around town.. where else wira is more of a family sedan..

although wira is considered an aging car, its still a good car compared to its rivals!!

the only way u can "slightly" improve the handling is to add in:
- front strut bars
- rear anti-roll bar
tht's enough, more than the above its too much already.

anyway i dont really bother them, if dare, try me downhill from genting on wet road.. "but not with my viva la.. hehehe"

hi.. me also VIVA owner in JB but after using the car for 4 years, my engine mounting start to give problem and need replacement. sent to perodua SC to check and they say total cost is about RM1k. my friend toldme can get non-ori parts for around RM400, including labour. what u guys think? anyone ever encounter this problem??
*
pls only use ori or japan parts.. imitation, better dont change!

i think outside price cheaper. normally SC will charge much higher..

Oooh, what's the correlation between rim size and suspension height to handling? Smaller rim size and higher suspension means better handling?
*
to me i think 14s is already good enough. if u still want to improve the handling + looks, just get it lowered a bit via sports suspension...

Hey there. I just got my second hand viva ez (2008) by today. smile.gif

However, I thought ez version no ABS? how come I can see the ABS logo on my dashboard?
Viva ez got ABS ka??
*
hi, pls take note on the yellow circle section. tht's the abs pump..
so most likely your EZ do not have that..

as for the ABS logo, i think all viva share the same common meter panel..

I prefer no sound when we lock it or unlock it so in case got people want to break in,they also won't know which one is our car except he notice our light blink when we click.

sometimes difficult to know whether door locked or not.. especially rushing time..
