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'.
