Both car okay at least the sales price not exceed RM25 K, maybe I will buy one as backup car

I vote either of proton or perodua can achieve good FC at least 22KM/ liter petrol. This may a good economy car for normal daily use.

Damn, proton Iris 1.6 such fuel Guzzler engine, CVT auto variant drink 7.4 petrol for 100 km. (only 12- 13.33 km/ liter petrol) This is such most fuel guzzler car in small compact car segment. 1.6 litre unit developing 105 hp at 5,750 rpm and 150 Nm at 3,750 rpm way too underpowered. No thanks for this such UN-econimical car.

Yeah, now 2014, Malaysia full of utter rubbish for both local and import car, due low quality build, bad fuel consumption, insane high price tag, comfortable compromise (Roof top noisy when raining, lower arm issue etc), better I buy second hand/ recond car 100% imported either Japan or Conti.

Both are same even toyota, nowday resale value is really sucks almost 40% at least you will lose price when talking resale value.

But the selling price way too be crazy high in Malaysia.

Yeah I totally agree! but buy car resale value goes down year by year, buy property price increase year by year. That the fact. I usually spend as cheap as possible in vehicle not even interested in any fancy stuff in car, because I only need to travel from point A to point B only. But I spend a lot of money to invest property especially shop lot and land segment for plantation because the revenue is quite high.

Yeah i got another car (4x4 hilux, aging kancil too old for long journey even motocycle). Now I will find another car mostly prefer a compact car good FC for some official works/ weekend car for watching movies with friends in Kota Kinabalu area because city way frustrated with traffic jam, narrow parking lot, bla bla bla. If Axia is good FC, I will buy one for the basic package and manual one.

Both also underpowered, FC perodua claim at least or more than 20km/L and the cheapest price is offer for RM25K at least. If true, I will upfront 12K deposit and take 2 years loan for Rm660 monthly. Is okay for me because I use this car not drive so fast usually 80km/h or less. Maybe the engine is same as previous viva with little upgrade and maintenance costs not too much. (bomb and kidney) I want good FC to counter traffic jam issue and good for parking. proton price tag sell for at least RM 40K way too expensive for a compact car. Don't talk about how much ridiculous power the small car can perform especially NA one. I got mod my hilux 2.5 vnt single cab up to 225 HP and 480Nm torque. Damn scary to drive. Last week, (after from dyno tuning in 6/09/2014), I drove my cousin 3.2 ford ranger heavy modded 350HP 750NM torque and I bang to another saga at back in Inanam area and cost me RM600 to repair the opposite party damage. Luckily small accident and only need to change the rear bumper include pain job of that saga and the person I bang also nice/ polite and we settle in that day. And no damage for my cousin ranger due he use safari iron bumper. yeah this beast can go up from 0 to 120km/h only 7 to 8 second with 50% of throttle. The pick up speed which I like as same as a boeing 737-800er during take off from runway. (Yo melekat kerusi oo)

yeah, I agree and now day burden from very unstable economic global which make people more suffer to spend anything rather than saving!

Yeah, that's the point, now day in Malaysia people buying power decrease a lot, include me. Not only the car people search for most economic to use include FC, maintenance, monthly installment, tires, insurance etc. now days motocycle also offer fuel injection rather than old school carburetor due fuel consumption issue. Even house hold peripheral like air cond and refrigerator mostly consumer prefer energy saver like inverter tech due high electric tariff, same also for computers especially gaming desktop, now even the whole world seeking more energy friendly graphic card and processor due high usage in electric bills like GTX 750 with latest haswell CPU. Some of ours install solar panel for long term saving and move to LED device such lamps/ bulbs.

Yeah, later I will retire my i5 3570k with another couple parts to seeking for more energy efficient parts include aging HX750 PSU, maybe my next pick is Dual core pentium with GTX950 coming soon. Sorry off topic
