Haha. Nope, my yellow bar at the boot only. Front I didn't put any MG3 decals on the top part above the ASA sensor.

Anyways, probably cos I'm so used to the MG3's pedal by now so roughly know how much pressure to modulate the pedal when I want to kickdown etc.

Of course, it might not be as powerful vs a turbo engine but somehow that was my initial impression when I tested the Ativa last week.

There was a hint of 'lag' when I mashed the pedal from standstill though vs the Myvi.

interesting, i will most likely feel that its down to not getting used to it too, since turbo and non turbo car is quite different feel wise biggrin.gif

No, the Ativa is better than the Myvi in this regard because of the bigger, thicker tyres and softer suspension. Yes, I know what you mean, I'm guessing the suspension of the Myvi is that stiff because of the lower ground clearance. But still, it shouldn't be as bad as you described it unless your suspension system has been compromised somehow.

Are you using the stock standard tyres or have replaced them? Has it always been like that ever since you got the car or has it been getting worse and more noticeable? My Myvi g1 was like that but that was only after 5 years. I feel that my Myvi g3 ride quality is not bad compared to the previous gen City that I totaled.

im using the stock goodyear assurance tyres, and i think its more of that i am very sensitive to these things since i asked my friends whom drive myvi g3 and the feedback it the same. tbh i find it quite unacceptable considering my mom's 2003 hyundai matrix does better at absorbing bumps in its tiny 14 inch tyres compared to myvi lol

Makes sense, actually. Wouldn't be surprised if Perodua intentionally made the suspension stiffer not only because of the lower ground clearance, but also due to feedback from noisy owners of previous gen Myvis who complained incessantly about the car feeling floaty when taking corners at high speeds.

Have you complained about this to Perodua whenever you sent your car in for servicing? What did they say? Can they help adjust your suspension to make it softer? Can't do much about tyres apart from replacing them or playing around with the pressure levels, but maybe they could do something about the springs, shock absorbers, struts, etc.

So far I've driven the Ativa around Subang Jaya, PJ, KLCC, and find it does indeed feel more comfortable to drive over our uneven and bumpy Malaysian roads. It's been only 3 days though, will see how it feels like 3 months down the road.

AV. I've tested the ACC, LKC, and BSM features extensively on the ELITE, NPE, DUKE, and NKVE highways to name a few, including at night. The LKC and BSM definitely saved my shiny new ass a couple of times these few days, but I only use the ACC when there aren't many cars on the road because of slowpoke road hogs in the middle lane and speed demons in the right lane(s) make it a jarring experience.

I'm really curious about the spec of llumar tint... their price ranges from hundreds to thousands...

Anyone with AV can feedback?

Nice! I cant wait to test it as well. Waiting for my 2 tone red to arrive. Apparently no stock and need to wait patiently.

Yes you're right. The dealer offered single color Delima Red as it was ready stock but I wanted it with the black roof.

It wasn't specified anywhere on the product sheet or whatever it's called that they hang on the rearview mirror. I asked the SA but all he knew was that it's the same spec as the Myvi AV. I bet it's a low spec tint, even the micro SD card they gave for the dashcam was just a tiny 16GB card.

Nice. Bro, do you have to activate the ACC in order for the LKC to function?

No, I don't. LKC was functioning even when ACC was deactivated. Although I'm not sure if there is any other requirements or limitations like speed, weather, etc. It was still working at night even when I had trouble seeing where the lines on the road were due to poor lighting.

Yes it took me awhile to really get used to my MG3.

Even before getting my car, I was using my in-laws car for about a week when my previous car was in service. Even back then I felt how come so sluggish. sweat.gif

But lately, I've grown accustomed to the car's quirks and all and somehow became more confident in the car. Of course, it does lack some oomph and grunt sometimes but overall, it's a decent car.

I've shared some dashcam videos on the LYN G3 group previously too. brows.gif

yeah. for me, my ability to drive relies heavily on my "senses" per say, that is to say i "feel" if the car feels confident on the road and that includes the noise and ride. for the myvi, on federal highway its noisy, the ride is stiff, and steering feels dead and also that loud sloshing noise at the wheel arch when the car goes through water puddles, all this contribute to my "feel" of the car being totally out of its comfort zone beyond the slow speed runs around town.

hmm i never thought of complaining to perodua to be honest, cause i thought that it was always a feature of the myvi to be like this.

quite good to hear that the ativa performs well in our suburbs, since PJ area has some really bad condition roads! biggrin.gif

not gonna deny it takes alot of getting used to for this myvi g3, most of the time to pick up speed i need to downshift to 3rd gear as well to get the instant pickup haha

Oops sorry, I got it wrong. I just went through the manual and can now confirm that LKC does not operate when the ACC is not active. I had LKC confused with LDP. A good reminder for me to RTFM the next time lol.

No worries. So many safety features and equipments in your Ativa. Need some time to learn how to use them. Cheers
