Hi all,

I have received my Viva 1.0 EZ for about two weeks liao. i think the car is excellent! I think the car is spacious. I oso think the car is stable in high speed. But if 5 people inside the car, it becomes heavy and needs a lot of acceleration to move the car..

There are 2 question in my mind now:

1. My car is using 13 inch wheel. Do u think it is wise to change to 14 inch or 15 inch sports rim? for the sport rim, should i take a heavy rim or light rim? i oso heard that we need to consider the tyre price oso when purchasing the sport rim. which tyre size is more affordable in price? (Er..i'm considering this seriously cos i might change it in the future but not so soon)

2. One of my colleague says that my ISO BAR (is that correct spelling??) is not so good. the car becomes lowered when 3 ppl sit at the back. Er..if i were to change to a good ISO BAR..how much would it cost? will my car warranty be void if i change the ISO BAR?

Hope u all can help me..Thanks..

Wow! your interest rate only 3.88%? for how many years loan? when do u buy your viva? my one is i booked in Jul'08 so i get 3.99% for 9yrs loan. if booked in Aug'08 is 4.1% for 7yrs and 4.3% for 9yrs. my one only discount RM1800 + RM200(salesman top up) = RM2000. My warranty is 3+3 so is 6yrs in total.

So this means u are from PG oso la..i bought the 1.0 auto standard spec.
Yup. me oso miss the high discount price oso. haha..i bought from dato kramat perodua.

Wow.. my one only provide tint voucher. but i heard from many people that the voucher is only for u to feel happy cos they will marked the retail price so that u will feel that u get the tinted at a reduced price. My one tinted at Sg.Pinang opposite ACE snooker centre. How much i pay for it? RM580.00 after a discount of RM400.00(Tint voucher). My tinted is Ais Kool and they say the tint is harder (which will protect the window from being smashed by helmet easily). hmmm...i dunno if it works or not but i pay it for a peaceful mind when driving as the place i'm staying and working is very far (Tanjung Bungah and Bayan Lepas) and i usually went out till late at night on the weekends.

On a separate matter, the salesman have ordered a reverse sensor for me before i get my car but still havent arrive. however, i feel i dont need the reverse sensor anymore. Can i cancel the order?

haha..i bought in Dato Kramat (beside Esso). Initially he gives me a RM200 voucher but then he say i can choose either the RM200 or RM400 voucher. The RM200 is for other quality type of tint which the film is not so thick (where it can easily be broken by helmet.

My car already arrived. I have driven them for around two weeks and i feel they are quite easy to drive. hehe..maybe becos my car is auto...

What colour is your car? Actually i oso want to put blue or black but i later choose the normal colour..which can see through from outside as i'm afraid to be blocked by police. Well, it's very hot when under the sun . and my car is white colour.

hey, my one PHW liao. i think now is PHX lo...haha

hi sheuemei23,

Where did u go to service your car? i going for my 1st service soon, maybe this saturday. But er..Do they open on weekends? do i need to call them to make appointment?

like this warranty got void bo? my of my friends say my absorber/isobar (is the spring at the back of the car right?) not so good

By the way, thanks Earl-Ku for the info on Service.

my left front wheel cap just came off...
dunno where it came off..just saw it after coming back from lunch.

Sad sad sad...

Can i know how much to replace one? or should i just keep money to buy a 14" sport rim. mine is 13" at the moment. If i leave it like this...will have anything wrong?

White Wing,
sad to hear that news. Hope u can get back your car on the road soon.

Sheuemei23,

Is it only both of us from Penang? Any other Viva owners from Penang in this thread?

hi all,

i just went to install my reverse sensor on Monday. i also called them to check my air-cond why is it so hot. After they checked, they told me the Compressor sudah rosak. haih...no wonder so hot...

Waiting to claim warranty. Need at least two to three weeks. It's sad that the air cond broke down after getting the car in less than three months.

But overall, the car is good in my opinion. The service centre people is friendly and courteous.

How many kilometres can u all got in one full tank? I didnt really pump to the fullest, just full. My mileage can got to around 320km until the last bar (which blink blink). My car model is Auto 1.0 normal spec.

Hi, finally i got my air cond compressor replaced. Wonderful service centre staffs. Polite.

I got a question for vivarians. Usually how much is your service costs? i just finished my 3rd service. I quite confused here...cos when i call for appointment...they will tell me is about less than RM100 but when i go..they say need to put this replace that then end up around RM200. Can we reject to "replace this thing and that thing"? Will my warranty void?

Another question is how much is the cost to repaint scratches on my door? Cos i asked for a quotation at SC..they told me is RM450?

Oh ya, I'm from Penang and driving Ivory White EZ. May i be added to your club?

Wah..4th service at RM300??? so expensive ler to maintain a car. haha
Can i know about insurance? my insurance is going to be due on 31 August.
How much is the premium and when can i make the payment?
My car is 1000Ez basic White.
