A Toyota Raize owner from Singapore joined one of the Ativa FB group. His has a Defi gauge install to monitor the turbo boost info for his car. This is his statement about the PWR button :
Is he kidding? 0.6 to 1.0 boost is huge deference. More boost means more power and torque but the D-CVT on Ativa only rated at 150Nm (max torque that it can handle). Furthermore, by his logic, you get less torque without the use of PWR button. I'm sure the PWR button DOES NOT involved getting extra boost, I believe it's more like it's letting your engine stay at higher RPM in all CVT ratio.
P/S: Btw, are you sure he stated the boost correctly? As 0.6 or even 1.0 Psi is kind of low.

I think YS did not drive the Almera as hard. For the Ativa, he really takes on the demand of all Malaysian public, to rev to the max while driving. Manual mode all the way and let the CVT upshift by red the line !
For any car, if driven like that on regular basis, it will break into pieces
Perhaps you might want to look at the RPM before making that sort of conclusion. Better still, watch the whole video right from the start.
Uncle YS indeed drove the Ativa very hard, taking only 12 min 06 sec (4:56 to 17:02) from Guard House to Guard House. This beats both the Almera's 12 min 29 sec (4:59 to 17:28) and X50's 12 min 12 sec (4:17 to 16:29). For comparison, MyVi took 13 min 02 sec (3:03 to 16:05) beating a VW Scirocco along the way, and G20 330i did in heavy traffic 14 min 14 sec (1:42 to 15:56).
To be fair, he did that in the X50 with an adult passenger. An extra passenger going up Genting makes a big difference.
Thanks for mentioning that bro..i was curious that my SA misplaced the service book during ativa delivery to my home address as it was around MCO..but later after speaking to perodua support team was told no more service book provided n ufirst app to be used.👍
The problem with the online manual in the app is that they can edit certain things without you knowing.
Do guys put your gear in N or D at traffic light? Based on what I've read, D = engine mount wear; N = clutch wear. So I have to choose the lesser evil? Enlighten me please
