You Google Toyota Corolla axio also can see lot of similarities

Anyway the wheelbase and width of both car are different making the assumption it comes from 1 platform highly unlikely.

Proton also doesn't have a lot of models that they developed entirely from the ground up... they have tie-ins with the Japanese (MMC & Honda), some European (Citroen) and I'm pretty much sure you also know that a few models are designed by Koreans (Saga BLM comes to mind). The thing is until now Proton still haven't really resolve most of their manufacturing quality problems whereas Perodua has nailed that part

Test drove the 1.3 Advance variant. What i should say is what u pay is what u get. Dont expect anything better than vios or city or any of your b segment car.

The car feels heavy to be driven. So its very suitable for new drivers. But at the same time, it feels very lazy to move as well, so maybe thats how they manage to achieve a very good fuel consumption. Brake is decent for a perodua cars. A little throttle lag for this car too.

The eco idle sounds rough to me when the car auto restart back the engine. Yes, the aircond, radio and every other thing else operates except the engine, so no worries.

There is an electric power steering as per the SA, but to me, im like driving a larger car with hydraulic power steering, and the leather wrap on the advance variant steering dont feel any better. I would prefer the rubberised one. Same goes to the speedometer for the advance variant which looks abit cheapo to me. And the central locking isnt functional on the driver side's lock switch. Its only functional on the specially built-in central locking button found on the dash.

The entire car is from a very thin structure. The seats are short, so u feel there is alot of legrooms. The doors are thin and so u feel a little more spacious. The floors are super thin till u can feel every humps and lumps on the frame, especially the reat seats. The car is super light till the entire car shakes even when u close the door gently.

On the positive side, yes, it saves fuel and its a perodua! So, im pretty sure the maintenance cost and others comes in less expensive. Resale value for a perodua is rather good, afer all, we are malaysians and we prefer perodua, toyota, and honda just to name a few. It is spacious on the rear seat, and it looks alot more larger than the axia although it is of the same width amd height of the latter. The boot space i doubt thou as it appear not to be so spacious to me, or maybe its just me. However, hard plastics are to be found EVERYWHERE and the bold lining across the passanger dashboard isnt any piano black finishing.

Anyway, to me, yes the car hits the right price spot. The only thing i would like to voice out is why the car is so underpowered!? I believe the similar engine used in indon variant avanza isnt that that bad.

Thats all for my review on the 1.3 advance variant

Does this mean this car has auto light or just turns off the light itself if driver forgot to turn it off when engine is off?

At the end of the day it is the sales that matters and unfortunately Proton is not winning on that, Perodua is.

just booked a Bezza Sugar brown advanced spec with Gear up Kits as workhorse ride. Loan for 3 years  3.33% 35k 

wow

RM 53~54k?

how long till you get the car?

1 platform can make many car, both width & length are adjustable.

Normally car manufacturers try not to have too many platform as it's expensive.

Not really
People don't usually change the car wheelbase
They just add,subtract the overhang

Jazz,city,hrv also cla,GLA,A250 all has the same wheelbase

Remember Limousine version Proton Perdana aka stretch Honda Accord & some L version Benz & BMW ?

im sorry but NO.

Axia too has rattling problems and driver seat rattling. Oh not to forget, their lousy air-cond compressors that spoils after 1 year+ of ownership. Luckily its under warranty if new car. If out of warranty, good luck.

Maybe the frequency of it is lesser than Proton, but to say Perodua nailed that part is just plain bullshit salesman talk. So you can spare us that.
