you might want to consider i10? or iriz?
*
i10 is too old, there is no new model for it sad.gif iriz? prefer non-national car.. i drived iriz before, but i think not too good for senior citizen usage, cos the transmission really diff, might pose some danger to my mum who gonna drive the car.. prefer car with normal gearbox.

went to vietnam i saw so many new i10 on the road, but dunno y malaysia is so slow.. and there is no much choices for a or b seg small car..

National cars will always have price advantage due to our NAP protectionist policy. Picanto can't never compete head-on with Myvi or Axia in that respect, but it will provide an alternative to the market to those who wish to get a quality product with its unique & much sleeker design.
*
this is not very relevant now. A civic selling in labuan compare to sabah is only 10% difference(exclude GST) in pricing due to excise duty which everyone is whining about this NAP bla bla policy. So a kia picanto should be more competitive in pricing rather than NAZA Being and arse to pull up the price more than 10%.

I don't mind the size actually since I usually drive alone

But what I'm curious in comparison with the myvi is

i) fuel consumption
ii) power/pick up speed
iii) reliability

A bit sad they didn't bring in the 1.0 Turbo engine. If they can price the current spec at 49k then I'm pretty sure the turbo engine wouldn't bump the price too much. I would consider this over the myvi definitely if it come with turbo engine at <55k
*
the 1.2 engine has been there for a long time. Picanto FC no ppl complain before, so should be good enuf. i dont think if turbo engine can be less than 55k, u see ford fiesta 1.0 ecoboost and normal version, difference is at least 10-20k..

Ya I rather pay slightly more for the digital aircond

And I see picture, the door panel is just pure plastic? No cloth material or anything on the arm rest?

Lastly why did they remove the centre armrest...? Cost a lot meh to include that doh.gif
*
i tot there is an armrest?

exactly, how much does it costs to add the arm rest since the current spec costs only 50k...

hopefully someone would be able to bring in the parts soon
another point off from the picanto for this. But I still prefer the centre console compared to myvi. Myvi doesn't even have centre cupholders.

Picanto would've scored full marks if its the auto aircond

maybe they think this is not a long distance car so, arm rest not required smile.gif

bro, 20-30mins also u need to think of safety. Axia is really shit car with very lousy safety in place, everything is low cost. if really can afford, better topup, u and ur wife should appreciate it.

I don’t fall for this line of reasoning these days la because people make sweeping generalizations, without any numbers to back up. i10 also can be considered shit car... no airbags even! If you think  Picanto has high-cost parts, enjoy the delusion. Features, yes, but I paid over 100k for my Cerato and it has a couple of pointless features. And I think my previous Forte was built better...
*
Bro, u can try and sit in an axia, and u can compile axia accident. Heck even u look at alza or myvi accident, all becos no HPF steel. Even perodua salesman tell me axia and bezza is not strong especially ramming from the side, it is a low cost solution.

i10 is not a shit car, it is much better feeling compared to axia bro. The new i10 i sat in vietnam uber car, damn, that's really solid car. doesnt feel like u are sitting in a axia. feels more like a vios in terms of comfort.

belum cuba belum tau, u can try urself, but u cant try urself by crashing right? Better be safe than sorry. Axia highest spec aint cheap too.

I thought most kia new model initial batches are cbu, but then naza did something with the documentations so they could avoid ap and sell it at ckd prices? This saying had been floating around since forte days. So the new picanto is actually ckd or skd?
*
they declare CKD, but they kasi buka the door, etc etc, then assemble back in msia. This is what happened to Kia Forte first batch tat they say is from Korean. there is owes way to do something like tat especially the boss is...
