Should put a highest variant with a turbo engine. Pick the same formula like how the VW Polo 1.2TSI manage to sell despite it is so damn small inside. Older fiesta 1.6 hatch also had great sales. Those are no sports car, but sporty hatch with good power.

Why wanna fight sales with Myvi ? Ppl buy Myvi because Malaysians perceive Perodua has better QC than Proton. Why not be more creative and carve your own niche market from youngsters, Proton ?

And please, if manual variant, go learn to make the clutch position easier to drive, short gear shifter . Don't do like the typical Persona manual settings, adjust clutch till so high and hard. Traffic jam so torturing to drive. Instrument cluster, at least look as good as the new Myvi . Or go copy abit from the Honda CRZ . Take a lesson from the Civic FD, it can sell , one of the reason because of the futuristic meter cluster .

IF this is the real instrument cluster , means it has a 2.0L NA equivalent ?? 240km/h meter wor...

Partially true only. If you survey around, there are people in construction sector who keeps hunting for used Kembara Manual. They must have 4WD because there is no proper road in construction site, 2WD car might get stucked. Auto is a nono since lack of torque and easy to overheat the transmission if throttle hard to get the car itself unstuck. Other options would be Hilux, Storm ,Frontier, Ranger , however replacement parts for those 4WD trucks are expensive especially the tires and suspension items. Road tax is cheap too. Therefore they prefer the Kembara whether the HC-EJ engine or the K3-VE version.

So people actually want both cheap and good
