How much outside noise was reduced after insulation?

Significant reduction. Can hardly hear motorbike exhaust when stopped at traffic light, unless modified exhaust lar. Driving to and fro work on uneven surfaces, less road noise in cabin. Engine noise also minimized a lot. My car stereo lower the volume by two notches already and had to recaliberate the DSP because the music becomes sharper.

But it's not 100% lar, noise will still come into cabin. Now when I drive fast a bit, the wind noise from the door become more pronounced...

Wow, very nice.
You did all this yourself? How long did it take for the roof? Was it difficult?
I want to do this also, but won’t the car become a lot heavier?

No Bro. Got this done by a freelancer. PM Tepi for contact. Yes the car becomes heavier by about 13~15 kgs. Less than an adult's weight.

Hi, I'm a new Ativa owner here. Just got my car during CNY eve and logged my 1st 1000km last week.

May i ask around, is anyone already experiencing rattling sounds in the cabin? I keep hearing a buzzing rattling sound when i travel over rough patches of road.

By rough i mean road surfaces that is very grainy. The sort you'd look at and notice the individual stones on the road.

It appears to originate from the driver door but somewhere lower down the door. It sounds like a speaker rattle but I'm not sure.

I saw a post somewhere that some wires in the doors are prone to rattling.

I'd be sad if im alone in this.

Yes mine rattle also.
Seems to come from a lot of places, can't determine exact spots.
Dashboard (Suspect wires underneath headunit), inside the driver door, one of the rear doors.
Have to find where they come from and why.
Sent before to SC they told me ok dy but in reality didn't make a difference.

are those the areas which you have identified and requested SC to fix?

abit bummed out that such a new car and already got this sound. on the bright side its just lose wiring and not lose panels or parts.

have you experienced any oddities with your car? so far twice, ive experiened no power at all when cold start and then driving up a parking ramp immediately. i informed SC on my 1st 1000km inspection, and they found no problems. i assumed that the engine needed some time to warm up, so now i usually jsut wait for the rpms to drop from 2k to 1k which doesnt take long, but still, modern cars in tropical climates really shouldnt need engine warm ups, very odd.

What about vibrations over rough roads? were you previously experiencing rattling noises in the cabin as you drive over grainy patches of road?

is this still an issue for you? i suspect only android phones up until android 10 will work with smartlink. anything more up to date can never be connected.

currently using OP 8T and it will constantly disconnect and reconnect every second, but when i tried my OP 3T, worked fucken flawlessly, so sad.

honestly quite surprised that not many ppl are complaining about smart link in this group.

Yeah, that time told SC dashboard area got sound, they said they checked dy no issues, but the sound still persists to this day. Plan to take to other places to check.
The only other gripe I have with this car is that it is quite brittle, bumpers everything easy to crack if you accidentally bump into something.
Other than that, no other issues with mine.

Edit: Forgot about my faulty cupholder lol. Passenger side cupholder suddenly would not pop out, sent to SC and said will report and order the parts.

Last time I used with my Poco F3, Android 11 using EasyConnection rather than Smartlink. Worked pretty well, but now my phone port rosak, can’t even connect to computer, not using anymore.
Very convenient to have Maps or Waze on the head unit while driving, although Carplay or Android Auto support would be a lot better.

Can't say that I was experiencing rattling noises even when driving over grainy patches of road. More of wind noise coming in from the doors when driving fast. The after market head unit I installed was rattling, but a little sponge between the unit and the dashboard resolved that.

Currently this spec of ATIVA was SUPERB on Malaysian's taste (mostly)

For me , I'm waiting for Hybrid version, pricing estimate between ATIVA H - ATIVA AV

For those who doesn't know what spec does ATIVA Hybrid, actually was confirmed on INDONESIA

Spec Base On Daihatsu Rocky e-Smart Hybrid

Daihatsu Rocky e-Smart Hybrid is driven by a single 106 PS/170 Nm electric motor, with the accompanying 1.2 litre Atkinson-cycle three-cylinder engine serving solely as a generator; the latter produces 82 PS at 5,600 rpm and 105 Nm of torque from 3,200 to 5,200 rpm.

Yes, it still as 3 cylinder, but was NA

For me, 3 cylinder? what's a big deal? Afraid Vibration? LMAO Really? 2022 Already! What engine when it's working does not vibrate? (TESLA : ME ME ME)

Hopefully p2 will release it this year..

A hybrid priced between H & AV spec?

Extremely unlikely only if Perodua intends to electrify the H spec and leave the rest of the features found in AV out.

Obviously MOST engines produce some form of vibration but whether the vibration actually gets transmitted into the cabin is an entirely different thing.

Also, not all vibrations are the same, some are barely noticeable, some are tolerable and some aren't.

Anyone taken their Ativa to the highway traveling ? Can share your experiences?

My previous car was an old c-class W203.

I've only taken the ativa up to 110-120. At those speeds, the car is much more planted than my old C.

There are both road noise and wind noise.

Engine RPM at 110 is at 2.5k rpm, and engine noise is acceptable. But at 120 at 3k rpm, i do find that it becomes noticeably louder.

Using LKC feature, is honestly abit of a let down. Not because of high expectations that the car should be autonomous in centering the lane, but the steering for some very odd reason, loosens up a tad bit that it makes centering the car with your own hands, noticeably more difficult than without LKC.

What i mean is that, at high speeds and without LKC, the steering tightens up, but when LKC is turned on, the magnets controlling the tightening loosens up that it now creates small but very noticeable "play" and "give" in the steering that prevents gradual inputs to the steering.

What essentially happens is unnecessary or unintended steering to the left or right. So manually centering the car in your lane becomes abit of a chore. You end up with more mini left and right, basically more work from your hands to keep it centered.

Thanks, Bro for sharing your experience. Quite surprise with the W203 chassis.

Yea my W203 is really old, it was a used car when my parents bought it back in '06. Drove that thing all the way until 2022.

I replaced the shock absorbers, most likely OEM, so i'm not sure if that resulted in a more softer hence less planted highway cruising experience.

The W203 is significantly softer on my bum when it comes to pot holes and uneven road compared to the Ativa.
