Alto 1.0 has lower power-to-weight ratio compared to the Mirage, which in turn has lower power-to-weight ratio than Myvi 1.3.

depending what do u want from the car
u want power and handling = saga FLX SE
u want a power but u want a toyota engine with better FC = myvi 1.5
each car has their own pros and cons..i compared be4...really hard choice..it really depends what do u want from the car

On paper , Proton Preve win hands down in terms of power, handling, driving experience, comfort. But if FC is really your concern, that wouldn't be your choice as the FC is on the heavy side especially city driving. Spare parts & maintenance should be fine for the Preve. Finally the choice is on you. Mirrage would definitely have great FC since it's an ECO Car, that will do good for you if you are really concern about FC
*
i at 1st considered preve as well
went for a test drive...found out theres quite a few very serious inconveniences and a few quality issue that i have to face everyday
so end up didn't bought that
but power, handling, driving experience and comfort is quite good

D whole key assembly is made out of 2 parts
- ordinary key slotted into d case
- case consisting of alarm/keyless system/immobilizer

From wat I was told during d test drive, d slot is mainly for charging d unit but u can leave d whole thingy in ur pocket or s'where nearby. D key is used when d remote unit's power is too low.

But as a 3 cylinder, pickup is quite good for a 1.2 n tat CVT really keeps d revs to a minimum unlike conventional transmissions. I think it was revving about 2k/rpm around 100kmh. Down side is tat being 1 cylinder short, harsher vibration n engine note is part of its natural characteristic. U can pop d hood n hv a look at d vibration on d top left engine mounting during idling. However I'm very sure some aftermarket sound insulation will on d firewall will help cabin NVH a lot.

Unlike wat some claim tat handling is poor, I'd say it easily feels more assuring to corner compared to P2's best seller. EPS speed-sensitive steering is super light at low speeds and gains weight as speed increases. If d new owner is willing to replace d eco tires wit 1 larger size, I'm very sure it would b even more fun to drive.
*
i was quite suprise when i saw the RPM is at 1.7k RPM when i was cruising @ 90KPH...very low
and yeah, abt the tyre...if u know...is it possible to upgrade to wider tyres?
from 165 to 175 like the ones in myvi?

and abt the key, did u mean the key is used to charge the remote?

There is a slot in the center dash to plug the key fob if the fob battery is flat. you can use the key to open to passenger side door in this situation because keyless entry wont work.
*
hmm...didn't see it in my test drive
both SA also never mention
the 1st SA is like never been brief with the car
2nd seem have but didn't mention and i also didn't saw it

i thought u use the key inside to start if the keyfob battery dies....am noob at this anyway tongue.gif
ahh...that hole...i saw it but the SA never told me anything abt it
i personally though its use to put coins biggrin.gif

i went to 2 different branches...2 different SA also didn't tell me much
they're either
1. poorly brief of the car's feature or
2. didn't even brief be4(need to explorer the car themselves)
both test drive, they just put the keyfob in the cup holders and since its inside a plastic, can't test as well

my is cvt gs model...to me the noise very nice n quiet ady...there is noise but is very less compare to avanza n vios...coz i have an avanza n vois in house...their noise more den mirage
de car is nice handling...n easily up to 100 n u dun notice n ur acc pedal juz press a bit den ady up....today i drive highway from jb to melaka...den speed n handling is nice but i juz maintain at 100-110 oni coz de car still new n under 1K mileage.

honestly tis car is gud for tis type of pricing...if anyone aspect more in term of power, noise or handling better den tis...of coz higher price had to paid...eg car like camry, accord, n many more higher quality n price.

de meter there state 5.7L/100 KM

17.55KM/L
not bad actually if u compare myvi's 12.XXKM/L
more accurate is using the trip meter thn use fuel until E thn fill up how many liter with how many KM u travelled

they're not top car makers cuz they lack models
look at the models sold here
triton, lancer, pajero..thats it
lack cheap model
malaysian all love cheap car

Just Tested the car.

City normal drive speed from 0 - 70 kmh not bad quiet but when the wack the car to more than 3k and you can hear the engine noise damn loud.

tyre noise is loud not sure why may be new i think.

the sound insulation is so so only a bit batter than myvi.

gear is smooth like a wind and the respond is fast.

i may get this car but problem are the booklet they give me got written there for basic version there only white and sliver colour other must be in full spec.

i did check with the SA they said the same ...

interest rate for 9 year they offer me at 2.48

For Services 1st year or 20k services is fully free part and labour is included.
*
yes...basic model only can choose white and silver
but they're both good colour, not like they're solid colour afterall
but u do lose those features thats available in GS
so if can, better take GS

dn't think there is, dn't think it will have as well
usually test drive unit are the highest line ever, won't be the lowest
but there are review of the manual version in paultan and some australian review site
reviews are good actually
the only way is to buy it...no testing biggrin.gif
