I disagree that an SUV's higher ride height provides a straightforward advantage over a sedan or hatchback.
Sure, if you value visibility from a higher ride height. But what also happens is, any obstacles/objects/children, that are short or low, become much more difficult to notice WHEN, you are close to these objects.
In my old W203, I never realised this would be an issue until I started driving my Ativa. Now, I cant even tell if there's a safety cone or a curb next to me. The other day, while making a turn at IKEA's parking lot, I didnt realise I was close to the curb and lightly bumped my wheel against the curb. Driving since 2011 and that has never happened to me before.
Every time i exit my condo, I have to make a 90 degree left or right turn and there's a plastic pole which I need be extra cautious that I don't scratch my sides against. Its really much harder to notice these things in the Ativa. I can only imagine this to be more difficult if driving a taller vehicle like a Fortuner.
Lastly, driving position. Unless its a Merc or a BMW SUV, the driving position is never as good as something like a Vios or City. Been driving the Ativa for almost a year and my ankles and heels still ache from long drives.

Agree with the curbs point, more difficult to see than sedan/hatches. But the children point abit far-fetched.
Regarding the point about turning, is it possible because sudden switch from RWD to FWD?

Hi all, wanna ask where to buy that black cover for the Ativa boot ? To cover things inside the boot. Thanks.

Want to know as well 😅
Do u mean the boot tray or like a netting cover? If its either one of those, shopee/lazada got sell. I got both my tray and net from Perodua.
Do u install door visor? I didn't install them yet, wind noise is noticeable but not too intrusive to me. Still, I'd like to know how to get rid of it DIY method before going to soundproofing shop.
Also, anyone here change the HU that is compatible with the reverse cam, usb port and buttons on the steering wheel?

Got update from my SA saying that lately P2 pushing production for AV variance,
Hopefully can get my car before X'Mas, buyer for my Myvi keep on asking for the Myvi to be transfer fast fast

I asked about Year End Promo,, still no news from P2

Update on my Myvi selling
My Myvi 1.5 SE,, year 2017, just 1 or 2 weeks before the new version come out, I got a very good price for the car since new version coming out, they want to clear old stock

SA wanted 30k for it
Carsome wanted 32k
MyTukar 33k

Decided to sell it myself using Mudah, advertise at 35k, and got offer for 34k, sold within same day, but the car still with me

Okay, so the Ativa sometimes has a knock on the undercarriage when going over bumps. Granted, I should go slower but to drive a supposed SUV but still having to go really slow at bumps is kinda annoying. Is there anything I can install to prevent this knocking from happening?

Those who recently took up car loan was there an increase on the rate to 5+% ? Is this true ?

Hi

Is it normal for Ativa engine grinding sound whenever start up? already occur 2-3 times (some time cold start, already warm up)

I send to SC already and they said it quite normal for it to happen..

Do you all still smell "burning" smell like hot hair dryer when you drive past 100km/h or revving above 3k for awhile?

Not sure if this is a permanent thing or will it disappear after a period of time.

I got record, later I share here.. 

it like griding/buzzing (like something is bergesel with something)

got video of this happening?

or it was your own experience?

Collected my ativa av today

Few question
1. Why the trunk light default to light on when we unlock or when we open the door,,  is there anyway to off it?

2. Key inside, and Im washing the car, the buzzer keep on buzzing even when water go thru it, at first I dont know what is it,, but realized, got notification on dashboard saying key inside,, annoying

First impression
1. People saying interior bigger than myvi, but for me, the back passenger space is smaller, leg room is obviously smaller, back seat is shorter, confirmed by my kids, front seat is nice
2. I even feels that the front windscreen is shorter, from side to side
3. All the LKA, safety, etc etc etc,, ok lar,, nice to have
4. D-CVT,, Rubber band effect not that obvious compare to my CRV,, feels more like normal auto gearbox, whereas CRV rubber band is obvious
5. Learn not forget to off the auto engine off

The Perodua tinting is very low quality variant. Just when the car was launched, I contacted their supplier after given the contact (irony that P2 themselves doesn't know the tinting specifications). So, if can get tinting from outside. Good brand will cost around 1200-1500.
