Considering the low fuel consumption, maintenance cost, technology and price, I'm sold. I seriously cant find any car at this price point so fully loaded with features and safety. Will be officially placing my booking for AV Red/Black roof tomorrow. This will be my 3rd car and to be used as my main car for City drive.

Just to add on, the car rides very well for what it is. Felt very stable and comfortable even over bumpy roads during my test drive. Only complain is the 3 cylinder engine sound and slight vibration at idle.

Nice. I've booked mine. Not the two tone though.. Now hoping they could deliver it in 2 months.

common characteristic of a 3 cylinder engine. eventhough the x50 also uses a 3 cylinder engine, proton engine is more advance while perodua 3 cylinder engine is kinda basic.

hello guys. Got mine 5 days ago.

I opted for the AV variant without the gear up accessories, much too ugly with the body kit. Stock look is better and much more subdued.

I don't have much experience in cars so i cant say much. I upgraded from a viva what i can say it is way better and more comfortable. I'm more bias towards comfort. As for free gift, you will get the normal stuff that they offer but nothing worth noting. I did get a memory card for the DVR (depending on your branch). i haven't been testing it out much as the manual say that there's a break in period for 1000KM; drive under 90km, below 3 rpm. I forgo the 90km and just making sure i don't go above 3kRPM. Looking forward for a road trip with this car. Cheers

Congratulations on yr new ride.

Break in period doesnt mean use less. U can even road trip w it.

Actually modern engines hardly need to break in unlike older generations where engine components manufactured was not that precise and parts had to 'set' into each other.

For our baby,
A. Dont stress beyond 3000 Rpm and more importantly
B. Dont maintain a constant Rpm, say 2500 over a long period of time eg on highway. Must vary the revs so city start stop is better. If highway just remember to constantly change the revs (speed)

Yes. Agreed... Been driving it around at any chance i get lol.. Last week was my first inspection.. Using it to drive around the city.. Havent got the chance to put some milage in it.. Also, do you notice a loud clicking noise when turning on the aircond? With the window turn down..

That's nice bro.

What colour is yours? So far still haven't managed to come across any, even during yesterday's heavy congestion along LDP.

I guess gotta enjoy the privilege of being the first few owners [where are the other 4 thousand cars] biggrin.gif before it becomes even more common.
*
Oh yes.. Being the first batch owner is really something.. It becomes a thing to point out other ativa when u see one. I took the delima red. I like the blue but it's only for X variant. The pearl white is nice but having owned a white car before. You know how it is with white car.

Same result honestly.. But sometimes i get bummed out seeing 13km of avg fuel. I get the urge to be efficient lol. Treating the meter like a game lol.

Yup, admittedly it might seem like a smug factor driving around in a car that's only roughly a month old since launch. brows.gif I saw another grey unit during lunch time today too - looks nice to see other cars now before they start becoming more apparent.

Nice colour you opted for bro. Yup, tell me about white cars being a huge PITA to keep clean. laugh.gif
Haha that's towards the end though so most times I just focus more on that green average bar which tends to be full whenever I release the gas pedal and disappears whenever I lenjan it.

So far which design you prefer most? I've found myself leaving the meter in design 2.  hmm.gif
*
Design 2 is the one that has a needle right.. I cant remember. I set it up during delivery, and forgot about it.. I like the one with the needle indicator for the rpm. It just feels right. Other design not so much.

Did u set up a notification for service in the menu? That's a nice feature.. I dont have to put the ugly service sticker on the front mirror anymore.. 😂.

Although, i wish perodua would improve their infotainment though.. Having android auto or apple carplay would be nice..
