Perodua Perodua

If you're one of those people who've always had an interest in compact vehicles but have yet to get a chance to try one out for real, I'm here to tell you about it. I recently took a Perodua compact vehicle for a test drive, and let me say – it's completely altered my perception of small cars.   As with everyone else, I previously thought that city cars were not suitable for driving in the city or were not as comfortable or as powerful. But having experience with a few models from Perodua, particularly the Axia and Myvi, I learned how mistaken I was.   The Test Drive Experience The entire experience began with an online reservation. A day later, I found myself at my local Perodua showroom, thrilled and somewhat dubious. The service staff were courteous and went over each and every aspect of the car before handing me the keys. Both the Axia and the Myvi were given to me for a brief drive around the vicinity.   As soon as I sat inside, I was taken aback at how roomy the interior was. As a small car, the Perodua Axia had ample legroom and headroom. It did not feel like I was sacrificing comfort just because the vehicle was smaller in comparison.   Driving it was even more spectacular. The steering was light, the turning circle was amazing (ideal for navigating narrow city turns), and the car performed wonderfully on both highways and busy streets. The test drive provided me with a good sense of how it would integrate into my daily routine – from driving to work, to day trips.   What Makes Perodua Compact Cars Special? After test-driving the Perodua Myvi, I know why it's one of Malaysia's top-selling compact cars. Here's what impressed me:   Fuel Efficiency: I've always been told that compact cars use less fuel, but driving the Myvi and looking at the real-time fuel consumption gauge confirmed it. It's extremely frugal, particularly in the age of increasing fuel prices.   User-Friendly Technology: From the infotainment system to safety features such as ABS, reverse sensors, and hill-start assist – it had all I needed, without being overwhelming.   Affordable Yet Durable: In comparison to the other brands, Perodua presents very high value for an affordable price. The quality you receive at the price is unbeatable.   Would I Recommend It? Absolutely. If you're looking for a no-frills, fashionable, and affordable car, test-driving a Perodua compact car should be your next move. It's the most effective way to see if it's right for your driving habits and daily routines.   Even if you're accustomed to driving bigger sedans or SUVs, I'd still recommend trying it out. You could be as surprised as I was.   Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1: Why would I test drive a compact car? A test drive provides you with honest insight into the car's performance, comfort, and features – things you simply can't grasp by seeing a brochure.   Q2: Can Perodua compact cars handle long drives? Absolutely! Although they excel in city traffic, cars like the Myvi are also stable and smooth on highways, making them just as versatile.   Q3: How fuel-efficient are Perodua cars? Indeed. Most Perodua compact vehicles are built with efficiency in mind. You will save on fuel without compromising on performance.   Q4: What is the top Perodua compact car to drive first?

With my family expanding, I realized I had to move from our humble hatchback to something bigger. I embarked on my search asking myself the same that every Malaysian would ask: MPV or SUV for  7 seater? I test-drove around, shopped around, considered fuel efficiency, room, comfort, and of course—maintenance price. I ended up with a Perodua Alza, and honestly, I haven't looked back since.   Now, getting the right MPV or SUV is half the fun, but I soon discovered that keeping it in top nick is just as crucial. That was one of the occasions when completely synthetic engine oil saved my skin.   Why Perodua Alza? Perodua Alza, their latest offering, is what caught my attention because it has such great balance between practicality, affordability, and handling. It has 7 seats, ample legspace, and adjustable seating arrangement—just perfect for my children and the occasional balik kampung trip with the in-laws. And its newer models have a more SUV-like design, hence exuding that hip, rough-outdoorsy ambiance that I was seeking. So label it an MPV or crossover SUV, it passes on both fronts.   Buying Fully Synthetic Engine Oil I had earlier been using semi-synthetic oil on routine servicing in that it was economical. But after taking some tips from a mechanic friend, I went in for fully synthetic engine oil. The difference? Day and night.   My Perodua now runs smoother, especially on highway trips or when we’re fully loaded for the holidays. Fully synthetic oil resists heat better, doesn’t break down as quickly, and helps improve fuel efficiency—which, let’s face it, is a big deal when you’re hauling a full 7-seater.   My own favorite was the peace of mind. I used to worry about my engine overheating in stop-and-go traffic, but that's no longer a concern thanks to synthetic oil. It keeps me running further before an oil change, too, a nice little plus for busy mom like me.   Final Thoughts If you're deciding between an MPV and SUV as a 7-seater, and you require something that is value-for-money, reliable, and pleasant, I would strongly recommend considering the Perodua Alza. Throw in a full synthetic engine oil, and you have a combination that's heaven-sent to make your people mover purr along in top condition.   It'll cost you a little more initially, but in the end your engine—and your wallet—will reward you.   FAQ Q: Is Perodua Alza a MPV or a SUV? A: It is actually a MPV but with the new face-lift, it's as if it has the appearance of an SUV. It's both worlds.   Q: Why is fully synthetic engine oil used instead of regular oil? A: A fully synthetic oil offers greater protection for the engine, longer life, and can help with fuel savings. It's best used in 7-seaters that are carrying more weight and traveling longer distances.   Q: Is it possible to use fully synthetic oil in my Perodua? A: Yes. Just be sure to consult your owner's handbook or get your service center to cross-reference the correct oil grade.   Q: Will maintenance of a 7-seater like the Alza be expensive? A: Not at all. Servicing regularly and good oil for the engine, like fully synthetic, will pay you in the end.
