Oops so that's what those arrow buttons were for! Okay I found the manual for the DVR this time. Perodua really should hire a competent UI/UX consultant to improve and streamline their site design. Thanks again!

I'm averaging around 15km/l due to traffic jams at school and at roadblocks, so a full tank gives me 500km++. Can't wait to go balik kampung to try and get the advertised 18.9km/l.

Yes, I have. No, the installed Llumar tint doesn't hinder the tag. No delay, either.

I have no idea which grade it is, but a fellow forumer shared the following reply from Perodua. It's definitely effective at keeping the heat out, but you might need sunglasses on sunny days hehe...

I've driven the Ativa, first-gen Myvi, third-gen Myvi, X50, X70 and sixth-gen City, so in terms of better driving experience for me it would be X70, X50, City, Ativa, Myvi in that order.

However, in terms of after sales experience, Perodua wins hands down. I regret buying the Honda City only to pay more and still end up with funny rattling sounds and lousy service. I might as well buy local.

I tried giving Proton a chance but they screwed it up too, making me wait 6 months but still no sign of my X50 even though I booked on the very first day. I cancelled it the day Ativa was announced, and now have to wait 2 months for a refund. I can't imagine how long owners would have to wait for parts.

Although I can afford the X70, I realize that unless I have connections inside Proton, it's far more stress-free to stick with Perodua. I'm willing to forego all the refinement and premium quality the X70/X50 has to offer so that I can drive a car that does its job well enough.

So far I'm very satisfied with the Ativa experience, both driving and owning it. I got it a week after launch, enjoyed driving it all over KL, PJ, Subang Jaya, Cyberjaya and Shah Alam, and just went through the 1000km inspection last week. I'm so happy with my Ativa that I'm glad I didn't get the X50.

Of course there are some complaints but for me it's an acceptable trade off. You get what you pay for. Or do you? Pick your poison and hope for the best, I guess...

Congratulations and welcome to the Granite Grey club! Oh I remember going through that. This is my 3rd CVT so I'm used to it, you'll get the hang of it soon. Others were even more worried about the car engine braking by itself when slowing down to turn at corners lol.

That's right, practice makes perfect. Just drive more and reverse more. Especially in cramped and tight shopping mall parking lots hahaha...

Only when slowing down while going downhill.

I easily get 15km/l for driving gently in the city and cruising at 100-120km/h on highways, do you drive mostly on congested roads? I've seen other owners report low mileage of around 11-12km/l but I suspect they have lead in their foot.

Keep your City! It's a lot more spacious, in terms of both cabin and boot space. It's also faster, sturdier, quieter, more comfortable, and more fun to drive over long distances and during corners. I wish I still had my old sexy white City. The new one looks weird.

Yes, the SST exemption period ends in June so July onwards the price will go up by 3-4k unless extended again.
