Bro, the DOA hyundai creta year end sale now 95k at sime darby auto. Segment B suv (HRV/corolla cross). 3 years free service. Warranty 300Km. free leather seat n 3M tinted.Better than wrv yet cheaper with electronic parking brake n engine remote start.Korean car reliability comparable with japanese brand. Just the spare part might be hard to find and a bit more expensive. But this car CBU from Indonesia so closer to order the spare part. Go for test drive bro.

Bro.. forget about Nexus, P2 says April 2024 but now few more days to 2025, still no news.
No comments on ATIVA, if u ask me..I'm a proud onwer, u have to test drive it.

Ativa ticks all my boxes. Size,space is perfect. My only concern is the 3cyl engine. In time they become rough. 4cyl is always much smoother! Wear & tear is much higher on turbo than NAs!

Have u decided what car?

ATM Ativa is high on my list. My preference is 4cyl NA. I'm actually in no hurry. Since 2024 is ending, will wait for Nexus and then final decision. Hope Nexus comes in 2025.

☺️Is good that u have this tough, me at first same thinking as u, but then again how rough could it be on Malaysia road.. going genting & Cameron w 5pax  is non issues (only back seat w 3pax is suffering πŸ˜‚)
Turbo is a must for the weight for Ativa, if without turbo still can but no pickuplah.
3cly engine now days is getting more popular as some company try to save the environment:
Kelisa, kenari, Toyota tank, axia, x70, Corolla,
Yes ativa cabin interior plastic is not as good as it seems

Test drive it, run 110kmj , will it be vibrate like hell πŸ˜‚, will knows by then.

Have fun test drive bro.

Tks for your feedback. I really value owner feedback as you are already using the car. Pls don't stop,keep it coming as my attention is more on this car now.
I do agree 1liter engine with that size body needs turbo. 1liter NA on this car will be like lembu kereta....hahaha! For me this will be my town run around. So no need to worry about 110speed. I hpoe the cabin plastics don't break easy! Are these expensive to replace. I won't go to SC for replacement, may be can find after market spares!

Every 50k engine mounting change 😒 ,I'll cry..
We just helping @SKYjack bro for ideas.. also about P2 Nexus as far I remember P2 did says April 2023 launch sales, but then keep on delay/postpone n no news... (Some issue w Daihatsu/Toyota scandal back then)

Yes ativa save some issue now n then:
Push start button (recalled) (some batch)
Turbo oil stain (under warranty)(1000/10)
Absorber oil leaking (under warranty) (1000/10)
Dashcam keep falling (under warranty) (1000/10)
*
Tks bro for your feedback. Much appreciated.

On this list my main concern is turbo oil leak. Turbos are high maintenances equipment. This being a cheap turbo, this issue didn't surprise me. This the reason I'd prefer the 1.5 liter NA. Sufficient power & no high maintenances issues.

Show up soon ? In one of Naz video, he mentioned that Perodua had registered the name as it's copyright almost a year ago already. Sampai hari ini habuk pun takde.

Surely they must be fighting over the Yaris Cross on who gets which design.

I think that the Yaris Cross in video looks just nice, unlike other Yaris Cross that has been launched overseas. How come Cambodians got nicer taste than Australians or Brits ? Would you buy the Yaris Cross if it came NA, no turbo, AT & with a largest battery size it can accommodate ?

Like u said , its been a year already since we heard of the Nexis intro. Last I read was on some scandle at Toyota itself. I'll wait & let them sort it out.

My preference is 4cyl NA. Yaris cross with 1.5 NA is exactly what I want. As the Nexis is a rebadged Yaris Cross is perfect,especially as it would be RM20k cheaper ( only an estimate)!

After 1&1/2 year wait, i had enough of the Nexus. 2 weeks ago booked the new X50. Great performance & size. Completely sold on the digital displays.
I had a good discussion about the Nexus on FB. Concluded with the influx of the many chinese cars, Nexus may not come to Malaysia. Its going to be overpriced with outdated interior. Chinese models are changing this dynamic! The instrument displays are so very advanced.

Exactly, looks very outdated. 1st look at the X50 interior, I dropped the idea of Nexus. Now actually glad the Nexus is delayed, cos I would have booked that & missed this new X50!

With the exception of the steering wheel, I actually prefer the toyota interior. Absolutely dislike the handphone display of the new x50.

Toyota has captured the market on reliability. Ppl will close eyes to buy Toyota for reliability. They are not bothered to compete on any aspect, their cars will always sell.
