Perodua Myvi expert car review

Consumers looking for small, cheap cars these days have many choices. But a job is not to register the public radar, Perodua.

Although it is the difference between the selling models Cheapest United Kingdom, the form of £ 4792 Kelisa, the Malaysian brand does not have an effect here. Can the new myvi better to do?

This is essentially a rebadged Daihatsu Sirion, and comes with an 86bhp 1.3-liter gasoline engine. And 7799 pounds, it also represents a savings of more than 300 pounds over its sister car.

Unlike a revised bonnet and more details Perodua badge is identical to the myvi Daihastu. And no bad thing. It is similar in size to the Nissan Micra, but looks bigger because the MPV-style roof height. The short nose is ideal when squeezed into small spaces, with a nearly vertical screen to return easier.

It feels very grown into. Not only practical cabin, with a range of cubbies and cup holders, but it looks good. The center console is clearly defined; the compass instrument dials with red-back.

Space

But while we like the contrasting silver and black interior finish, some plastics are not the quality of European rivals. What can not be criticized is the amount of space behind the myvi accommodates three rear passengers in reasonable comfort.

Tailgate opens to reveal a decent luggage. The seat is in a 225-liter capacity, but the 60/40 split folding rear seat flat and get a 630-gallon load bay.

The road, the myvi owner of all things never ask for, and nothing more. Enter the corner too fast and there are plenty of body rolls, while the main light is short on feedback. But it is highway speed, the soft ride and absorbs bumps.

In most driving conditions, performance is acceptable, with 0-60mph in 11.3 seconds and a top speed of 106 mph. But the engine gets rude and high speeds. The five-speed manual gear ¬ box also rather vague, although it is better for the £ 700 optional automatic. Most consumers will not forgive myvi many of his mistakes, if they consider nearly 50mpg combined economy.

Even better news is saving money Perodua £ 1000 cash back offer until late June. It is not a class leader, but as a simple transport from A to B, the myvi is not bad!
Rival: Honda Jazz
The myvi was cheap and get super mini, but if you have money, at £ 9000 Jazz are worth. It is good to drive, reliable, brilliantly made and incredibly flexible.
