Which branch ? That is so long

My car loan approved end of Dec still nobody contact me to sign. hmmm

Yep asked they just say no updates from perodua.
Haha ya I understand, I'm fine with it but family so eager on my behalf XD
The recent car buying process quite weird, usually downpayment can be done quite early. I was told downpayment and loan sign all can only be done when car is allocated. Prolly queue too long 🤷🏻‍♀️

depend branch

went december maluri. all specs ready stock

my friend titiwangsa , signed loan early december until now no news

I think there was someone who asked if it was noticeable when the CVT transmission switches between planetary gear and belt mode and the answer to that is actually yes.

After driving the car for a few days I could tell that 1st gear is always planetary gear mode, once you hit the required RPM for the transmission to shift up, its belt mode from then on.

I guess that's Daihatsu's solution to solve CVT's rubberbanding and whining issues. But the downside is, you can really tell when you're in planetary gear mode because you'd feel the usual sensation of both engine braking and shift shock. So if you're stuck in traffic, the car will behave like your usual AT car.

But whats quirkier with the D-CVT transmission is, i find it slightly difficult to perform 2k rpm accelerations in CVT mode. The car feels programmed in a way where it has strong preference to remain below 2k rpm or above 2k rpm. It almost feels like driving, what i would assume, a car in Eco mode, where power requires alot more depression in the pedal. Perhaps the car is setup in this manner, a "default always on" Eco mode and hence the power button. But i'd like it if the car would make it easier for me to catch 2k rpm.

And if the above description is a description of the D-CVT's quirkiness, let me tell you what i actually dislike when the D-CVT is paired with the 3 cylinder engine. Vibrations. And i dont mean vibrations at idle. The Ativa's vibration at idle is really no biggie at all. It tends to vibrate more on Drive, but when you put it into Neutral, it vibrates alot lesser. I find it extremely tolerable. What i cannot tolerate is engine vibration when the car is on the go (honestly very surprised that ZERO reviewers mentioned this). As mentioned above, the car LOVES to stay below 2k rpm. And unfortunately, this is where the vibration only occurs. The vibration isn't atrocious, but you CAN hear it, I would describe it as a higher frequency but low amplitude rumble. I dont have much experience in driving 3 cylinders, but if anyone drove the VW Beetle A5, then you'd know what i mean (although Beetle A5 isnt 3 cylinders). I find this rumble extremely strange, the car is not shaking, its just quietly rumbling, and it rumbles enough to cause cabin rattle noises when the road becomes rougher (i mean in road grain not pot holes).

Power wise, really nothing to complain, I dont expect my car to accelerate like a Civic, but that power button is quite addictive. Since the throttle is setup in a way that requires more push to the pedal to accelerate, its fun to just hit the power button and do a 3k rpm acceleration. Getting up to 80km/hr is a breeze. At 3k rpm, the engine isnt very loud.

Suspension, ride handling, NVH wise. The Ativa is miles behind compared to an HRV or the x50, definitely a jump forward against the myvi, but unfortunately, i cannot say that its on par with current gen City, Vios, Yaris and Almera. The new sedan B segments handle pot holes and rough roads far better than the Ativa. The Ativa is stiff, but im sure there's more to a suspension and ride handling set up to just being "stiff". I'm not a car engineer but I would say the Ativa's suspension set up isnt anymore sophisticated than my old W203. Both cars I would never send it through rough roads like a HRV without even slowing down, well the W203 maybe more since its much softer, but both Ativa and W203 isnt set up like the HRV. Its not conquering any rough roads for sure. I would say the Ativa feels in between the 5th and 6th gen honda city but leaning more towards the 5th gen. The Ativa can definitely do with some vibration damping pads because over very grainy roads, you can feel it, and on very specific parking ramps with those big gaps in the road, it creates a very loud resonance in the cabin that gives me a slight headache.

Overall, all the oddities and downside that I've described with the car, I still find them tolerable. But what i cannot tolerate is cabin rattling. My car is not even 2 months old and its already rattling and !@#$ its annoying. If i can solve my cabin rattling noises, i'd gladly say im happy with the car.

Hello. Just want to know if there are any promo / discounts / rebates now if I want to get 2022 Ativa AV now? Cheers.

macam computer cdrom screw. izit long

My SA from Perodua told me that Ativa waiting period was 2-3 weeks in whatsapp, so i booked with him, i have black and white evidence.
until now it has been 2 months, still yet to get my car
anything i can do about it ?
