Been looking to get a new car since April. Decided on the Myvi cos I like it & wife's relative manages a P2 showroom.

Booked 1.5 Advance. Loan approved 25 May. Loan signed 1 June. Car arrived showroom 11 July. However since the Gear Up rear skirtings & hood insulator I ordered didn't arrive/no stock thus car only ready to collect 16 July.

Took train up north today to collect the car. Signed the forms. Checked the car. One of the rear skirtings kinda loose. Told the BM & one of his SA took me to the SC which was very nearby the showroom.

One of the guys at the SC asked me did I wash the car which he said must be the reason the skirting came loose. Hmmm....told him nicely & I conveniently get 'accused'. I replied I just took possession of the car. Dude kept quiet & said needed 2 hours to fix the issue. Told him nicely that I need to drive down to KL soonest so please fix it ASAP. All in all took approximately 30 minutes to sort it out.

While at the waiting room, I managed to browse through the latest Gear Up brochure with 0% GST pricing plus some new stuff in it like anti-theft bracket & tyre pressure monitor equipment.

Drove approximately 400km today keeping the RPM below 3k. Speeds were between 80-115km/h at varying intervals.

My impression of the Myvi, I like it although I'm a bit not happy certain things were not standard such as:
1) DRLs
2) Cruise control
3) CD player (Yes, I'm old school. Lol)
4) Auto headlights
5) Auto wipers
6) HUD

Yeah, I'm used to these features in my other car but I can live without it in the Myvi. Can't expect so much for the price I paid.

Looking to change the tint while adding certain stuff to the car to make it safer & more secure. Have asked the BM to help trade in the stock tyres with Michelin PS3 195/55/15.

All in all, I'm a happy camper. Hope to have thousands of mileage with my 'little beast'.

I placed it just right below the ASA & in the middle.

Here you go. Hope it helps. I may be changing dashcam once I've done my tinting.

I'm changing it cos in my opinion:
1) It's not dark enough. I'm gonna try adhere to RTD tint regulations.
2) Can feel more heat while driving compared to my family's other cars. We use Horus tints. Have no experience with 3M or HO so I can't say if Horus is better.

Nope bro. I'm used to it. Been using it this way for close to 3 years now. In fact the Myvi's rear view mirror block more. It's at the same level as my eyes. Lol.

Thank you Sir. Yup, I'm used to all those features but I'm happy with the Myvi.

Now if P2 added all those stuff in...game changer. Lol.

Yeah, Michelin all the way for me. Great minds think alike.

Yeah on stock rims. Tyre man says no issues plus I believe the rest of the guys here who have upsized are using stock rims as well.

Dude in charge of SC told me no issues with ASA too.

Try Sh0rty 5. The more comparisons the better. I haven't done soundproofing but I'm seriously considering it.

Same here for me and my right rear skirting a bit loose. Only 680km done. Will bring it up during my 1k km inspection.

Yup it's normal for Toyota & BMW too.

No worries. Had my tinting done last Saturday. It's darker now & I feel it has better heat rejection. I'm a happy camper.

Hope you find the brand & model suitable for you if you decide to upgrade.

I've done 700+km. So far my issues will be:
1) Gear Up right side rear skirting coming loose
2) Can hear 'tok tok' sound from the rear (rear absorbers?) sometimes whenever I go over speed bumps.
3) Driver's door takes a bit more effort to close properly compared to the other doors.
4) Can smell fumes from vehicles even when I have the air recirculation mode switched on.

Pedal lock is anywhere from RM280-325 depending on who you go to. I did mine last Saturday.

Yeah, plenty people especially in KL & Selangor driving Perlis plate nowadays.

Heard the 'tok' sound once from left rear while going at 90km/h. Road was smooth. I think it's the third time in a span of 4 days. Gonna secure & tie down everything to determine it.

I went with Sh0rty5. You may PM him for more info.

1. I believe it's more of how good the workmanship is the first time round.

2. I can live with it as long it's not a safety or performance issue.

3. Maybe but I do not have issues with other cars. Will bring it up with SC. Will be prepared to get a funny look. Lol.

4. Thanks for the idea. Will check out original Perodua or Bosch cabin filters.

1) Cheaper in Lazada or other online shops like approximately Rm180+ for rear skirtings. IMHO it makes the backside of the car looks nicer.

2) Well if it's 'normal' then not an issue unless it's safety and/or performance matter.

3) Maybe I'm too gentle on the driver door compared to other doors. Lol.

4) I'm assuming it's working cos the switch has green light on. As one brother Myian mentioned changing to better cabin filter (charcoal + something else) may be the solution.

I'm considering that but worried bout what will happen if involved in a crash. Will that thing become a 'spear'?

Both bars are about RM6++ correct?

My a/c temp setting is 3 in the evening & 4 during the day. Fan speed usually 1-2 during evening & 1-3 during daytime. I have Eco-Idle on all the time. I notice that once temperature goes higher after a while, Eco-Idle will cut off (even though I'm still pressing on the brake pedal) & engine will switch on to power the a/c compressor.

That is the case for all of you too right?

You should get it. The contrast is very obvious on white car & will make it into a hawt potato.

Haven't deactivate the recirculation button since Day 1. Will try tonight at high fan speed to check it out.

Yeah, I read bout fellow Myvians switching it off but I decided to try it out. See how it goes. I guess I'm lucky my working hours are quite flexible & I'm not caught during rush hour.
