You probably haven't driven a CVT before I guess? Once it hit that speed you desire and it gained the momentum to maintain at that speed, the RPM will drop. I used to drive a manual car until 6 years ago when I started driving CVT. At first, it you probably get frustrated of the rubber band effects but once you understand why it is made that way, you will appreciate it more and drive accordingly. And as I still drive the manual car occasionally, I started to "employ" the CVT gear transition behavior onto my manual driving.

My SA was offering granite gray ready stock AV 2 days ago. Sticking to my silver choice though.

I booked silver AV on 22 Feb, loan signed on 1st March. Still no car. But there's other color like granite gray available.

Called Perodua, they said the tint specification information is still haven't being handed over to customer service department for Ativa. Then I simply asked for Axia and they do give the specifications.
Llumar doesn't want to answer this question and asked me to revert to Perodua directly.
I guess have to wait a bit longer.

They gave me a name of the tint brand on Axia but I cannot remember the name probably it's some cheapo brand, hence it doesn't ring a bell.

Just go on a weekday and early morning. I went on the day after launch and there was no one at 8.30 when they opened. Back then, no test drive though.

I bought the Trapo mat. The rear pieces are too short. Those area under the front seat are not covered, kedekut fellow. Maybe you can wait and temporarily use any existing mat you have while waiting for them to fix this (need to make noise with them). And without removing the carpet-like mat in the car, the velcro on the Trapo won't stick.

I did my 20K service today although just only clocked 9K. I noticed after getting the car back, it seems like they did a software update to the CVT? It felt completely different now. Before this, I felt it always get so eager to move when pushed from N to D with the gear knob also feeling unevennesses and jerky when shifting. At low speed, it tend to hold on lower gear unnecessarily and hunting at times. But now all that disappear completely and the gearbox is so smooth. Does anyone know on such update but not made known to owner? For your information, I'm one of the earliest batch owner.

I noticed about the jerky and hunting because when I viewed all those car review on Ativa and Alza, they kept on saying best CVT at the moment and even better than the ones on Vios and City. While mine doesn't feel like that at all. But this morning after service, it really changed my mind. I think the most noticeable is when shifting from stationery from N to D or anything like that. Previously it feels like stuck and not easy to shift and when in D it just too eager to move (can feel it wants to go forward all the time). I will ask the next time I go there on whether they did anything. I'm sure they did else I must be day dreaming!

But how does that explain the gear knob not smooth movement during shifting? Before this it felt like very hard to move them. And also the eagerness for it to move forward or reverse when shift from N/P.

This SC damn funny. It's a new shinny SC near my home. After a few months I got the car, when I brake harder it got sound like "krak krak" or when do corner on certain road surface also got the same sound. After do twice still got same problem. Then the customer service told me, "maybe you should send to a bigger more established SC to solve the problem". Later that afternoon, the SC owner called me personally. The worker kena tiaw upside down by their boss for suggesting that. They got in mechanics from Rawang HQ after that to fix. They ain't want to explain what exactly they fix though. But it has to do with the front brake setup.

If you have not been driving 3-pot car it would probably more apparent to you. I myself can feel it and wish it is better.

Below that, you are the driver solely.

Wouldn't that be dangerous for cars from behind point of view?

Also has:
- external LED under the side mirror so you can see if you step on dog shit.
- external ambient temperature sensor and shown on the digital meter cluster.
- GPS tracker service (for 2 years or 3, can't remember exactly)
- less ah beng seat color.
- continuous rear strip of back light.

But 1 important thing that is present on the Alza but missing on Veloz is the central locking button near center of console which allow passenger easier reach to it.

It is normal although it's not supposed to creep into the inside of the car. This is due to a very small opening that supposed to be an secondary optional *[I can't remember the function mentioned by the Perodua technician]*. They cut cost and never seal it tightly. If you use your finger and korek-korek then you will notice it's there. This hole was also present in the Myvi but was sealed properly. Unless everyone mogok buat bising, they won't do any fixes I believe.

Usually only salesmen that cares will ask you about the windscreen coverage. But again, it really looks like Ativa windscreen macam quality cap ayam. Can see so many cases of it on FB.

The Perodua tinting is very low quality variant. Just when the car was launched, I contacted their supplier after given the contact (irony that P2 themselves doesn't know the tinting specifications). So, if can get tinting from outside. Good brand will cost around 1200-1500.

Without the eco idle I doubt they could get the EEV status for certain tax break incentive. Don't like how the air-conditioning runs from the battery during eco idle kicking in.

Guys, a stone hit my windscreen and had a 3 cm crack. Is there a minimum crack for an insurance claim to replace the windscreen? If the windscreen is replaced, do we need to bring to Perodua SC to do any recalibration of the camera? And is the tint covering the camera (the tint cover entire windscreen) or it is only around the camera unit?

Ativa is so well known for it's pussy windscreen. It's only when it will happen to our car rather than not happen.
