Close to one year with my 1.3l manual Myvi, so far so good.

FC --> beats the crap out of my previous 1.5l 5 years old second-hand manual Wira (duh..)
420km from full tank to the start of the blinking fuel LED for only RM58 (usual grade, RM1.98 per litre ?) compared to 370km for slightly above RM60
No mods applied except for a pair of white light bulbs and a pair of side lamp signals.

Brakes --> still working great since i am using manual, less burden on it as i utilize my gears (i prefer a gear failure rather than a brake failure). The ABS of this car saved my life once during a heavy downpour when some smart-alec cut across the junction without stopping after flashing him a couple of times.
But i suppose nowadays most of the cars have ABS installed already ?

Also this car is roomy, pretty good for tall people, like me. A six-footer can fit in fine without having to strain your neck whether you're sitting in the front seats or rear seats. This was a common problem i faced when i sat at the rear seats of my friend's Vios and Savvy or my own previous Wira.

But this is a bit high, so do expect some body-roll while handling corners. I had to take some time to adjust from my previous Wira.

I am not some super Myvi or Perodua defender, just stating my personal experience with my car. I would prefer the car which i am using as my nickname or any other car from THAT manufacturer but what to do, stupid existance of Proton made it unaffordable based on my budget.

FC should be dependent on your right foot, not how high it revs.
But high revs quickens the wear and tear process.
