Perodua Viva – style and comfort is finally affordable

Perodua Viva is the 7th installation in the Perodua series of cars and was designed to originally replace the Perodua Kelisa and Kancil, but was changed to only replace Kelisa in 2007. This 5 door hatchback modeled after the Daihatsu Mira 6th generation was a success when it was first releases in May, 2007 and have been a success ever since for compact affordable cars. Though comments and critics reviews are mixed, the overall review on the car is above average, considering that it is a Malaysian made car. Small, compact and below the average price of any cars in it’s size range, most might be fooled into thinking that the Perodua Viva is just a normal, below average mini car that is meant for the monetary challenged groups that need four wheels to move around. Though most might be forgiven to make such a mistake, here are some pointers on Perodua Viva’s best selling points.

Fuel Efficiency

Perodua Viva is known to be one of Malaysia’s most fuel economic cars ever since the production of the Perodua Kancil and Kelisa. With a fuel usage range from 15.1km/l for the 1000cc auto version to the 18.7km/l for the 660cc basic model, the Perodua Viva is definitely a car that is a comfort to your pocket.

Driving comfort

Despite its lightweight appearance and drive style, the Perodua Viva is a comfort to drive, even when compared to the Perodua Kancil both for veteran and amateur drivers alike. With a built in ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) for safety and dual airbag for a full spec car, power steering for comfort and consumer convenience and a spacious seating in comparison to the previous Perodua models, the Perodua Viva is one car built for comfort and affordable luxury.

The Integration of Style and Practicality

An interesting point to ponder about the Perodua Viva would be its stylish design. Its sleek, aerodynamic design topped with some awesome custom parts available for upgrades makes the Perodua Viva both a normal family car and a mini sports car at the same time. This compact exterior also allows the car to maneuver in tight spots and parking spaces without much problem due to its small turning radius in comparison to cars of its class.

Finally, as goes for any cars in this world, the Perodua Viva is not without its limitation and setbacks. Though roomy for its class, most consumers finds that the car itself is only comfortable for 4 adults or 3 adults and 2 children though it is categorized as a 5 seater. Another setback besides the spacing would be the suspension system as some would complain of sounds and a weak suspension system if the car is packed at a maximum and the car will drone at speeds of over 130km/h. Nevertheless, at prices ranging from RM26k for a basic model and RM46k for a full set Perodua Viva Elite EZi, the Perodua Viva will always be a favourite amongst new drivers and small families alike.
