The thing is Perodua sell their car based on price alone and by doing so for the previous modern model like viva,alza,myvi which also comes with no additional safety equipment beside airbag and abs(on some variant only) it somehow affect malaysian mentality about car.
when thinking of local car,straightaway people will think perodua.
when say fc,people straightaway think perodua.
when say safety,oso perodua as most malaysia think of safety as in airbag alone.doesnt even know what abs is and let alone how it works.
no doubt perodua tackle the market very well.since it has a strong based it can price its car abit more higher for what it offer.some call it cheating but in marketing its genius.just ask how much the salesman earn commision for a myvi and compare it with comission of a proton and people might get the big picture.see what sort of cost structure these 2 company are working on.i wont call them manufacturer as only one is a proper manufacturer.
on the iriz,i have went and see it few times already and must say that i am in loved with the front seat.overall design is not bad.
interior is ok and they used the better fabric this time.seating position is like a blm which i dont prefer.
my height is abt 170cm and with the front seat properly adjusted,i can sit at the rear comfortably.
still yet to go for a test drive as when i went to see the car only manual is available.i was looking for cvt as its my sis whom is looking for a new car.if she really wants it i think the 1.3 is enough.she is not the kind of driver whom appreciate all the other extra except the steering wheel mounted radio button.she kept searching for the button everytime she drives her kenari.hehehe
will it topple myvi?
no,not in local market.
better car than myvi?
yes in every aspect.
