A quote for you.

"Tall and boxy with skinny tyres...it shows great promise for hopeless handling..."

 

[Speed Demon]

Being a tall vehicle, the Kenari is definitely NOT a good handling car. But if you plan to just drive like a good, sensible person, this should not be a factor. :P

Also, it is not a "speedy" vehicle as the 1.0cc engine is a little under-powered for that body.

I suggest you look at some 2nd hand Kenari's. Perhaps one or two years old. It might be a cheaper option. Or perhaps the Daihatsu Charade Espri.

like that what do u consider a "not skinny" tyre size for kenari?
K-car ma, what kinda tyre spec do u think the factory will give u?
265-30-22 ok or not if i am Perodua ? :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[stroker_kit]

i wonder why people always think the kenari is not stable???? do u rili think Daihatsu's engineer would ever produce the car if its not stable??? it as stable as kelisa, that i can assure you... only that people tend to think that it will terbalik when taking a sharp corner due to its extra height... cos i drive a kenari myself, can tailgate a kelisa at any corner, anytime... u just have to be brave enuf...if u feel the rear wheel starts to slide sideways when taking corner on dry road, step on the accelerator some more and u'll be amaze how the rear wheel will slide back in.... japan technology at its best.... trust me..... but if it happen to you on wet road, then thats a different story la..hehhe

Easy explanation for it. Physics. Higher centre of gravity etc. etc. etc.

Not that its not stable, its less stable compared to other cars for example the Kelisa. That means unsuitable for aggresive cornering. Common sense tells us that a lower stance means better handling.

Going by your explanation and logic, all vehicles launched are stable and have good handling?

Why did Toyota launch the Liteace then? Since you know its going to fall over if it went into a corner too fast.

Anyway, thats quote I put up about "Tall and boxy with skinny tyres.." isn't said by me. The guys from top gear tested the damn thing in a handling test and it came second in the worst handling car category. Losing out to the Smart Fortwo which is also a tall and boxy car with skinny tyres. The Kenari was skidding all over the place in the test. Now this is done on a track at high speed. Not your average "I tested it out on the road against a [insert random car name]" case.
