Got mine yesterday!

User: mkmobile
Booked on: Oct 25
Model: G Spec (auto)
Color: White
Possession Date: Dec 04
Total wait time: 41 days.. earlier than expected! Many thanks to the SA

Instant Feedback :

1) I got Silverstone tyres, but I saw there are 1 G spec with Hankook, 1 G spec with Silverstone at the showroom waiting for collection.

2) Handling is very good, much more solid than Myvi.

3) I can feel the vibration some times during traffic jams, when the care is moving is very slow speed between static stop. If the car stopped and put at D, no vibration.

4) FC right now from the meter is 12km/l (RON 97), been drivin some city road + highways. 60km millage now.
When I got the car, the tank is almost empty, I pump 25L to make it full.

5) I got the passenger door issue like Human10 as below, the noise doesn't happen if you try push the inside handle when the door is open, thus I figure out the culprit is due to the door is not close tightly enough, there is still some small space between the rubber tip and the door frame. See pic below :

these are the rubber tips that makes the door close firmly. It seems the top one is not long enough to touch the other end, thus making the noise when driving at uneven road.


I tested and put at thin layer of soft tape, the sounds goes away.


And just know that Human10 got this issue fixed by sending to SC to adjust the lock, i think it is the lock that needs adjustment on how "tight / deep" it closes / locks.

Will send to SC to see if it is the same issue.

Overall, I think AXIA is a very good / value for money ride



I got the same door issue like yours, will send to SC to fix it.

For the responsive, i think is the e-throttle thingy, it takes like 1-2 seconds for the thrust to kick in.

Free gifts are given by the dealers / or even the SA personally.

For my case, I choose not to take a single free gifts, not even an umbrella & steering lock for the cash discount / rebate.

Maybe you are having the same issue..

I have this on the front passenger door.

Not really sure how much is the SA's comm, but I think for AXIA, a full tank won't cause extra that much.
I got my car on single flashing bar, and I went to refuel till full. It is just RM62, and it is RON97.
Should make you more happy by giving you full tank, so you can recommend his service to other people

I got RM350 cash rebate in total.

Btw, I see your previous post that you have installed the spoiler at Mid Valley Perodua. Did you just walk in to that branch to installed ?

Did they drill holes for the screw and the brake wire ? Will it cause water leaking when raining ?

I am thinking to install spoiler too, but kinda worry the above matters.

Wow, that's very nice!

Better check with the banker / bank directly since you already signed the LA.

Yeah Advanced should be the fastest model to get as I know, followed by SE. My friend got SE after 2.5 weeks from booking on early OCT.

Try ask your SA again about what is going on.

Nice diy Going to do the same thing on the lock there. Always forgot to lock my car

Getting too used with the MyVi autolock already..

My first FC check.

Filled up till full tank last week, reset the trip meter.

Today it left 2 bars, went to refill to full tank, total 20.75liters. The distance travel is 356km. Using Shell RON97.

So it is around 17km/l. Driving routes are highway + city. Very impressive for me

Nice & fierce spoiler for E & G specs! since we already have third break light.

How much is it ? Now I am not sure to install this or the ori type spoiler

though E spec may take longer, but since you book before launch..

My friend's colleague booked the E spec as well before launch.
He got the car around 2 weeks after launching dates.

Hi all, since our Axia only has one fan for both the radiator and air cond condenser.

Based on my experience with Kancil, which also has only one fan, if we switch off the AC, mainly the compressor, the radiator fan will stop spinning as well and the engine will overheat. So we are not able to switch off the AC like other cars when going uphill like Genting.

Is this correct and still applicable to Axia ?

I am not really sure. It is my experience from Kancil, the fan never spin if I switch off AC, even the engine is very hot till the warning light comes on. Once I switch on the AC, the fan spins and the temperature went down.

I sure hope this is already improved for Kelisa, Viva and Axia, otherwise I will have to on the AC and drag the car go uphill all the way.

I think hybrid engines are designed to be stopped frequently from time to time.

However for normal engine, if we keep stopping and starting the engine in short period of time, I think it is not good for the car. As we stop the engine, the whole car system stopped, but not for hybrid cars, they have batteries to keep the system running, the engine is more like "sleep mode" or stand-by mode.

All these are just my thoughts and assumption, I am not an expert in cars anyway.

I think you should register the car now. Usually SA will help you register and do the insurance thing as well.

You should register asap because :

1) From my SA told me, Perodua let branch or dealer to register the car within 1 week after got the chasis & engine no. Otherwise the car will allocate to other customers due to the car model is hot.

JPJ car plate you can extend 1 or 3 more months if your car is not ready. Need to go to JPJ and show them the booking form and appeal for extension.

2) Register now or 2015 will have the same resell value as your car is manufactured in 2014, it will be stated on the registration card. The best is you can persuade the buyer that it is on end of 2014. But resell value difference will be minium for cars older than 3 years i think.

3) Register and drive the car back home now instead od leaving it at showroom / store parking, which usually are open space and under the sun and rain for 2 weeks. Yours is white color right? So if it parked under the hot sun without protection like wax or coating is not good for the paint I think.

4) You have waited so long, just drive home and enjoy

For car older than 5 years, difference will be lesser. From my experience, when u sell the car to used car dealer, they will see the manufacture year, instead of registration date, even it is end of the year. They "press" the value down

Buy when I looking to buy a used car from them, they tell me the registration date, and say it is just 4.5years, not even 5 years etc to be exact.

So I would say it is really based on perspective actually.
And the other more important factors are mileage and conditions which will affect the car price.

I received the same SMS just now. Any authorised service centers listed on the service booklet is ok. Better to make appointment cause if you walk in, you may need to wait long hours for them to finish those appointment case.

If you want to pay by cash, better ask to pay thru online transfer to company bank account.

If pay by cheque also better to company account. The SA say delay register till the cheque cleared maybe due to company policy, they want to make sure they really receive the money before register the car under your name.

You can ask pay by banker cheque, it is as good as cash, but also need clearing days.

I pay my balance via online transfer. But the JPJ system down and delayed, so I only got the car new week.

Whichever method you choose, the most important is ask for official company receipt.

I think should be ok, since 5k is just inspection service. I actually doubt they will really inspect the mention parts, maybe just jack up the car and look here and there.

Just make sure they chop on your booklet. I think a member here said before they chopped his booklet on 5k column when he went for inspection on 1k.

Real service is on 10k, where they will change the engine oil and such.

Ya the recommended pressure is kinda high. Myvi with the same tyre size also 32 only. Maybe it is for fuel saving also. No wonder Axia feel more "stiff" than Myvi.

Another thing is, for AT, anyone notice that when you are going downslope in highspeed, like 80km/h, u let the car glide without stepping the gas pedal, then for a certain point u press the brake pedal for little so that the car wont go too fast, like maintain on between 70km/h, the car will auto down shift to 3rd gear, and u can see the rpm shoot up to 3k and can hear the engine louder noise.

I ask my friend who is driving Axia AT, he say he experienced the same thing also.

Is this normal? I don't recall such feature in Myvi or other AT cars I have drvien before.

wow nice.. Looks like this Axia has quite some new technology or at least new for local made cars.

I think when you press the remote button and no response, is because the door is not closed properly. I don't like this as well. For Myvi, if there is a door didn't close property, when u press the remote button, it will lock the doors, but alarm will go off in seconds, telling u that the doors are no closed properly.

For Axia, it just gives no response. So every time need to make sure see the signal lights blink only know the car is locked.

If the alarm is engaged and you open with key, the alarm won't go off immediately, there is a 5 second delay according to the SA. After that the alarm will sound.

There is no reset button for Axia alarm, just plug in the key are turn to ON will disable the alarm. The key must have the correct immobiliser chip otherwise the car won't start.

I have the same problem like you last time, took me few hours to figure out, it is just too tight for first time use. For my case, the seat is adjusted to the lowest position, so I can't press it down anymore. Try pull the adjuster up with a little bit force, eventually you will feel the seat going up, let go the adjuster and pull again to go higher.

Hope this helps you
