great pics! for a locally produced car, i like the front and rear end. nicely done with matching bumpers and check out those rear widebody. frankly, i see perodua is doing a good job in upgrading the quality and design of the cars. though i cannot say myvi has great interior, but at least you look back at kancil and kelisa and you'll realise how much they've matured. hopefully this car shies away from petty QC problems like windows and glovebox problem.
one complain though, the rims suck big time. imagine if the buyer smacks in a nice 15"/16" rims coupled with the widebody and the car is black in color. guarantee to make heads turn. i personally think this car will be a cult in few years time. as it is now, kenari and kelisa have a large K-CAR followers.

"First of all, P2 would liek to stress that they have 80 engineers and designers involved in designing the Daihatsu Boon and the Toyota Passo. So it is safe to say that the three cars are a joint-colloboration between these 3 companies. The local input on the cars are actually the exterior, as in the design of the body panels. But while the Daihatsu Boon and the Toyota Passo were launched in the middle of last year, P2 needed more time to train and find the best vendors to supply the parts. The MYvi has 80% of local content.
The first car I drove was the Myvi 1.3 SXi auto. This is the top of the line, RM51,300 car with ABS and dual airbags. The meterpanel is electro-luminance, like the one in Altis.
Interior is very up-to-date with a clever mix of Toyota plastic (upper oprtion of the dashboard) and the cheaper Perodua plastic (the lower half).
It is very roomy, though I think it is slightly smaller than the Jazz or the new Swift. But it is on par with the Aveo and Getz. It is definitely bigger than the Picanto (pi kentut).
Engine is the same Kembara-sourced DVVT 1.3, but with better gear ratios of course. So throttle response is quite good (not as peppy as the 3-cylinder Kelisa, but more refined and very quiet). Wind noise is comparable to the Japanese sedans and it is no longer as noisy as the Kenari or Kelisa.
The rear seats are very clever. You can fold it flat, or pull the bottom part and have an extended platform. It still can't do like what the Jazz can though, but still it is very impressive.
The boot is as big as the Getz, so you can put in a golf bag inside with no problem.
I drove it around the Sepang track (half the track, bugger). I should say that it handles very well for a car this size. It corners better than the Jazz and it soaks up the rumble strips and apex points very well. The front might feel light but the rear is so predictable. You can feel the tail going out if you are a bit too fast but take off the throttle and it goes back in. If you want some fun, floor it around the corners, left foot brake and the tail will swing out too in a very aggressive manner. Swerve it to the left quickly; pull the handbrakes and you get four-wheel slides.
It shows that the car is very well built, has a good chassis and a jolly good suspension.
The 1.3 manual has the same attitude, but of course you can make the front tyre chirp a bit even in second gear. Unfortunately they retain the same rubbery feel in P2 manual gearbox. With a long gear stalk, precise is not the word you will use to describe its feel.
The 1.0 manual is using the Kenari/Kelisa powerplant, BUT with DVVT. Since the car is a lot heavier, you can't feel the acceleration that much but I think the engine is still able to drive the car well. As the NVH level is a lot better, the 3-cylinder engine rattle and shake is not really that evident.
I have pix, but I have to respect the embargo until 25th. They are launching the car on that date and to date, they have 6k of orders.
Do I like the car? YES! Proton will have to start sweating because P2 has announced that they will never come out with their platform or engine, as they will rely on their partner (toyota) for that technical input. They will however design the body panels, which is good enough for me. Why bother having your own engine when your partner is the mighty Toyota?
Kenari and Kelisa will still be sold, but I am sure their sales will drop like beruang from a tree. Even Hyundai Getz and Chevrolet aveo also might feel the pangs because in terms of drivability, this Myvi is a LOT better."
