Thanks Effy92 for your compliments. Was trying to prove that a little car like Axia can be a Goliath even.

To leftback, let me tell you something. If you are doing Grab long enough, you will feel that boot space , yes, is an importance, but not top priority. You are unlikely to get Klia trips every single day (if you do, i salute you).

Im doing grab full time btw. I was in your shoes when deciding either a Saga, or Bezza 1.0l. But finally i settled down with Axia. Never regretted.

The Axia is a perfect choice for Grab operations. What more with the bare bone E spec. Even i myself dont recommend myvi.
Super fuel efficient yet sufficient boot space for any KLIA trips. Forget myvi. The boot space is a joke. With or without the shelf.
1 full tank, 25-26litres of fuel, based on manual tranny (im using e spec) can get 410-420km, mixed driving.
(Its like they say : Real men uses 3 pedals, lol)

That work outs like 17.x km per litre. You cant get that on a Myvi what more the guzzling auto version. Maybe the manual version can come close. But axia still wins fc.

I wont quote how many cents per km or how much per full tank cause you know la, our crazy govt. changes prices every week.

I think Proton is also equally reliable; just take a look at how many taxis are Proton (yes i know its compulsory for them). Yes i understand Cvt reliability will be a concern, but i can tell you, i have 2 other cvt-based cars in my family, with the Honda having 100k plus mileage, is still running well.

So the choice is yours, either the saga or the Axia. Forget the myvi. But as for me, I'm loving my Axia. Not because i anti Proton.

Car is suitable. In fact the banglas / my friend will silently thank you for a better car than Myvi, lol.

Just make sure the car is in tip top condition as you are gonna travel 200-300km a day (depends) on a full time.
My advice is have the engine and battery (yes, battery, cause you don't want it to konk in the middle of the petrol station or somewhere far away) well inspected.

Make sure you also have the most powerful car charger (and good charging cable) inside your car too.

I think 2009 car should be acceptable by Grab.

Erm..wait.. Are you signing up for Uber or Grab?
Cause uber is less fussy about older cars. In fact if you sign up online for Uber, they just need your driving licence, jpj geran, ic and insurance cover note. I havent heard about them requiring drivers to send car for inspection

Grab on the other hand, is abit more fussy about older cars. In fact they just wanna make sure your car is road worthy. Not a matter of engine oil havent changed

On the other hand, make sure the car itself has a thorough inspection by Honda. Engine oil...atf fluid..change..hehe.
If i were you i make sure my engine oil change to fully synthetic

Hi there.
My axia comes in manual only because mine is the lowest and cheapest spec of Axia. Only comes with 3 pedals. Not 2. Hehe.

But i dont mind.
