Ativa X.. tested urban and highway up to 140kmh.

A knocking rattle below the rear seats (suspension?) When i go over tall humps. No other sound at any speed like what FongSaiYuk asked earlier.

From a F&F driving experience (Ativa up to 140kmh) so far,
There is minimal difference with Myvi 1.5

Ativa for its height, roadholding is pretty firm, more from the new chassis than the soft suspensions. (Cant imagine the even softer ones on Rocky & Raize).

Interior is smaller and cramp, rear passengers sacrificed for the Bigger bootspace.

Only reason for buying this over Myvi are for the nice displays, safety features and bigger rims.

Agreed with woodtiger assessment.

Took the utility,
Door visor is useful.
Mat is SMALLER than stock, what the.. should have gone outside to do it.
Boot tray super flimsy and thin. Got conned. Outside can get thick tray just need to ensure size fits.

Double post

Some lucky person getting yr Myvi !

Ativa looks bulky but handles like a smaller car. The chassis is really good. Except for a few highway runs (engine still new) where the engine is really loud at 4000 rpm, the city drives are smooth and acceleration is super quick from a rolling start due to all the torque from 2,000 rev onwards. Standing start is slow because it is still above a ton and the turbo doesn't kick in from the beginning.

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)

Check Daihatsu range, Perodua might rebadge

Yes but the click sound is very soft, hardly audible.

The main difference is actually the chassis where Ativa has much more stable drive above highway speed limit due to its latest DNGA architecture that really caught me by surprise for a small boxy tall vehicle.

But for mostly city drives, Myvi should be more than sufficient if SUV height doesn't matter to you.

Ativa has bigger wheels and more complex engine hence maintenance should be higher. Eg. More expensive spark plugs that fires twice in quick succession for each power stroke.

Low boost turbos nowdays are not used for performance.

Bro, can share details eg cost and where you got these done ?
Thanks.

Talk to the outlet manager.

Other SA from another branch can help speed up your delivery from your SA at Sri Petaling branch ? Highly unlikely bro.

Better to appeal to the branch u booked, perhaps speak to Manager.

For turun bukit as well? U want him die ah..

Turun can use gear selector

City drives
Suv > sedan/ hatchback cos taller can see further ahead & very minor flood say 1 foot got slight height advantage

Also turbo > NA (small engines) for start stop traffic due to low end torque.

Your continuous complaints about your Ativa, considered selling it?

As others have feedback, airbag malfunction is very dangerous- must fix immediately else don't drive.

Imagine something loose explode into driver face..

Agree w you cars should keep their distance according to speed.

When i drive manual, i slow the car down by shifting gears but when i see rear car too close, will dab the brakes a bit to help them realise.
