Perodua Viva Elite...what so 'elite' about it?

Looks nice..too bad it's just cosmetic..

After their cheap version of Perodua Viva (Perodua Viva 660 BX), now the 'overpriced' face lift (is it?) version named Perodua Viva Elite.

Seriously, what's so elite about this new version? The specs are all the same as the previous model. Ok, the front grill looks nice but...that's all about it..nothing else.

For a professional review, visit this link. PaulTan.

I'm going to rant about this..amateurishly. hehe..

First and foremost, for me, Perodua really have stray away from its 'Building Car People First' motto. They've really change to 'Building Car First, People'.

Just look at this new version of Perodua Viva. It's a total rip off. The previous Viva model/version was already a rip off to begin with. I've own one before (in which I regretted it) so I know how it feels like to drive this car. Basically, it's the same car with same body, same chassis, same engine, same everything.

Ok, it's a standard car just like every other car out there but my main point of concern which piss me off since it makes me feel like I'm being rip off is the PRICE. Yes, it's just so overpriced for a car of this quality.

I know it's basically engineered by Toyota+Daihatsu but the problem is Perodua downgrade it yet sells them with a hefty price tag.

I know there are people who would still buy this car. Well, it's their cash, their choice.

But still, Perodua, what happen to you? Why are you becoming more of a 'Blood sucker'?

p/s: I wonder what happen to Perodua Nautica...hmm.. I'm yet to find any on the road until now.

Perodua Viva 660 BX......??!!

I wonder, no radio, so why is there an aerial attached?

Perodua just launch a 'cheaper' version of the overpriced Viva. All I can say is...better buy a second hand car or if you want a brand new cheap car, go for Proton Iswara (don't know weather Proton still manufactured it or not). Better known as 'kereta kebal'. It got better spec with almost the same price.

The specification for this new model are as follows;
1. 660cc DVVT engine 47hp @ 7,200rpm, 58Nm @ 4,400rpm

2. No power steering.
3. No power windows.
4. No central locking.
5. No radio.
6. No reverse sensors.
7. Unpainted bumpers.
8. Manual transmission only.
9. Only available in Ivory White, Ebony Black and Glittering Silver.

The price, RM25,300. PaulTan.

I've done two reviews on Perodua Viva, here and here. I also was once an owner of Perodua Viva for 1 full year and I just hated it. Seeing the spec of this new model, I hated it already.

I feel like Perodua is treating the consumers as some mindless, easily fooled, cheap bastard. With the standard of the older models of Perodua Viva, this new model is the worst of them all. And this new model is actually a replacement for Perodua Kancil? Even Kancil is way better!!

I'm not a Perodua hater. Perodua Myvi was a good (even though I find it ugly :p) car but Perodua Viva? Sorry, a bad car is a bad car. Period.

The sad part is, someone would still buy this car without even noticing they've been ripped off only to realize it after signing the Hire Purchase deal.

Honk! Signal la! Mat rempit!

This is going to be a very long entry...

Hmm.. Ok la..direct to the point, I'm talking about the difference in Driving attitude between Sabah and West Malaysia (I'm not generalizing but it's the truth), you West Malaysian drivers/motorists are too...how should I put it.. obnoxious? The word too harsh? Nah, that's the most polite word I can think of in describing your driving attitude.

If I were to use not too polite words, they will be **** ******* ******* ******* ********!!
Sorry, I have to censored that..

I'm not saying that Sabah's drivers are saints, but compared to you guys, you make us look like saints. No offence okay..I'm just saying the truth and sometimes the truth hurts.

Why? See the checklist below and evaluate yourself. And it doesn't matters weather you're a Sabahan or West Malaysian, if you do these thing, you're **** ******* ******* ******* ********!! hehe..

Signal la...talingung..

1. You never signal when you are: turning left or right, changing lane, overtaking, entering a junction or stopping by the road. I always kena with this one. Damn!

2. You honk even for the slightest jam or when someone pulled his/her car by the road. Even when the car in front didn't move the moment the traffic light turn green, you also honk like mad. It's not F1 race la! You honk everyone that gets in your way. Be it old folks, kids, cat, dog, alien and even girls regardless of how they look. Ok, the last one is a bit over exaggerated. But still, you honk everyone.

its zebra line la.. source

3. You never give way if someone want to cross the road or a car want to go out from a junction. Instead, you deliberately drive your car faster. Even in front of a school, hospital, anywhere, you'd rather speed up than let anyone cross the road safely.

SMS on your car screen. source

4. You talk on your mobile phone without hands free set. Some even SMS while driving. And you don't even care!

Speed..!!

5. Motorist rarely wait for the traffic light to go green. And these Mat Rempit are just retarded bunch of retarded retard. Ever wonder why there are no Mat Rempit problems in Sabah? I'll tell you why, because guys who use motorbike are seen as 'no standard' by Sabahan girls. See, put that standard in every girl thought and no more Mat Rempit. Make them unable to score girls.

ramp car

6. Overtaking anywhere possible. I mean literally anywhere. When turning into a junction, in a jam, in a narrow space, at a corner, at a sharp corner, at an even sharper corner. And not even signaling!
