Lagi Power Lagi Best?


Many people will be asking? Not a Myvi again.....after so many editions and facelift of it....again P2 launch another 2 version....that is SE 1.5 and Extreme 1.5.
So what so different this Myvi compared to the older version and the newer version 1.3 Myvi. Frankly speaking, when the new "Lagi Best 1.3" Myvi launched, as a owner of the old myvi, i do not feel any significant different compared to my myvi. It still look roughly the same just the interior is upgraded.

So when P2 finally come out with the 1.5 version after a long delay....I rushed to the showroom and have a test drive. My parents really have no interest on it because they say "its a myvi still a myvi." I just give a summary of the test drive for extreme 1.5 myvi.

Pros
1) Interior is very nice especially the 2 din touchscreen GPS/DVD Multimedia Player.
2) Speedometer design is very nice and leather steering is a very nice addition.
3) Improvement on the overall ride comfort and the car feel more stable and solid.
4) Improvement on the aircon where the aircon compressor will not kick in so frequently as in old myvi.
5) The side mirror finally can electric fold with a touch of button.( My SA remember few years back that i complaint to her that "why side mirror cannot electric fold?")
6) Overall quality of the car is very good as compared with P1.

Cons
1) Do not feel that the 1.5L engine is that powerful...
2) EPS steering feel is very light and too over assist...
3) Price of extreme version is too Extreme....

Conclusion
I would recommend the SE 1.5 Version because it is a smarter choice and more reasonable pricing.
With the current competitive market compared with the few choices available when the 1st myvi is introduced. I personally feel that consumer have more choice to choose from, P1 Saga Flx is a value for money car if you don't care about the campro engine.

As a 1st generation myvi owner, I personally feel that the new myvi 1.5 is a improve version of the car and it will be great buy if you need a city car to travel around.
