hey guys, i am planning to get ativa, and I hope you guys can enlighten me a little bit:
- how is the regular driving experience? (I am not really a car person, but I do hope the experience is above average for regular person)
- how does the warranty works? If I change the head unit and install a 3rd party infotainment system that has android auto and apple carplay, does that mean warranty voided?
- how much is the cost for servicing and maintenance?
- what are the things that I need to pay extra attention and care to?
- if I want to mod the car (actually just the head unit), is it better to get a 2nd hand or new car?

Do you mind providing further info
1. What is your current car and how do you use it
2. What are the criteria you looking for in a car
3. What is your buying and maintenance budget

1. Currently have no car. Been using my family members' car and they are quite old models. Gen2 Myvi, and Saga.
2. Not much, just want a comfy ride, and also convenient enough (that's why I wanted to change head unit)
3. buying budget is around 75k, maintenance budget is around 500?

Changing the head unit will only invalidate the infotainment warranty.

I see, that's very reassuring.

Do you have any recommendation for the head unit? and where can I get it?
I saw some older post suggesting JDM Raize head unit or Indonesia Rocky head unit, but I dunno where to source them.

Check Paul Tan for the maintenance cost sheet. Within your budget if I'm not mistaken.

What are you expecting when you say driving experience?

If you only modding head unit then probably get new. Secondhand quite expensive unless you lucky to buy from friend.

- Ah, alright. I will check that out.
- As in.. what are the things that annoy you the most after driving it for a period, or some issues that I should be aware about etc?
- Right. That makes sense. I heard there's a new facelift update this year that might comes with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, and hopefully its just software updates. If not, then will have to change the entire unit =/
