Need a city drive car. Just to market and eating out purpose. Dont need to consider outstation drive. Not too big but reasonable space to carry items at the back with fold down seats. I am a retire, only me & wife.

Considering Ativa and waiting for the launch of Perodua Nexus. Am told Nexus is slightly bigger, may be more suitable. However i do like the height of the Ativa. Welcome comments. Tks!

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!

☺️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.

Just change engine mounting earlier every 50k, no big deal

Definitely worth it for the power and fc savings

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 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!
*
As u says bro Turbo for city drive might be be necessary for u, but ones in a blue moon if going to G.Hiland /C.Hiland might needs the kick in.
For plastic parts ...m mmm all I could says is not the kind easy break but also is not kinda high quality, just 50/50%. Wait for 1-2yrs will have more OEM parts. Totally agree with u bro SC selling dam expensive for those plastic items.

Also now days mostly all cars with smart lock/alarms/keys/remote... The battery wow wow $3000-400+, if u lucky to use 24months is considered lucky.

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)!
*
Yeah yeah.. been following about this news too.. no any news of Nexis (definitely will be 15-20k cheaper then Yaris cross)
As bro Nas says P2 register the name since 202X , sekarang habuk pun tak jumpa.. 😱
