My New Car!

As some may know I was planning to buy a new car since early Dec 2006. I am very interested in small cars these days. The micro-car like the Smart for Two would be cool. But not so practical.

I was looking in the range of Myvi, Getz, Jazz, Yaris and Picanto.

Key features I am interested in; cheap to buy, maintain, good after sales, good looking, save petrol, safe(has ABS, airbags) and nippy to drive in town.

I am not so into Korean cars so ruled out the Getz and Picanto.

Value for money, Jazz and Yariz ruled out coz too expensive for what u actually getting.


So I decided on the Myvi.



What it has? Looks?




It's a Glittering Silver colour, 1.3 litre DVVT 16Valve DOHC engine, Dual SRS, ABS with EBD and immobiliser.


I admit it has the modern features of most of the latest cars on the road today. I compared it with my 6 year old Wira and significantly see the difference. Wira has been around since the early 1990s and is almost the same. As ussual the "big boys" up there not bothered about coming out with new models. So screw you as I have absolutely no loyalty for your brand!




On a happier note, I am happy with the Myvi. It's nice to drive and importantly a breeze to park on the narrow roads of Penang! Today coincidently, I fetched Carienna, Siew Yean, Joyce and Pam in the Myvi for lunch. 5 ppl in the car but it was ok. Not bad. And I didn't even need to use over-drive.



Rear shot. Car plate number is BJJ 8600. I wanted 8 coz means wealth, 6 is career and 00 coz can trail nicely with JJ. I dunno but I sourced this info from the net and just used my creativity to create a 4 digit number. Reason B plate coz my bro got connection in KL. One of the first non-black 2007 registered Myvi in Malaysia!
