What a great weekend!


Night view of Putra heights.

Peaceful saturday night out. Usually, saturday nights, people would go clubbing, drinking, and stuff like that... but, we lifeless bunch, decided to pay a visit to this beautiful park at Putra Avenue. Look at the reflection of street lights on the lake. Perfect view of a lake, and the PH hill was mesmerizing!

1st impression of Alwyn, and his car... with a souped up audio system inside. BOOM BOOM POW!!
Futsal friday night.

It's been a long time since I play late night futsal. This time, it's a fun one. There were total of 3 cars present. 1st car in the picture, Jere's facelifted Myvi, 2nd is what i drive there, Myvi 1st gen, and the 3rd car is Alwyn's Jazz.

What I can say about Myvi is.. it's a great car! It feels confortable, the engine is good, spacious, comfort suspensions, easy to drive, good looking... and good value for money!

The thing I like most about Myvi's are the low end torque of the engine which peaks at 3200 rpm, with 116Nm of torque. It's a good figure compare to Proton Savvy's 105Nm @ 4250 rpm. This makes the Myvi more responsive at low rpm's, and a better feel of acceleration from rest.

Another thing I like about Myvi is the steering, it feels very soft, usual turns and U turns in the city, feels easy with Myvi's steering. It's soft and light, the surface is grippy, which makes you want to just make a U turn with one hand. However, the steering is too soft that it provides less information to you on corners, you can't even feel the grip of the tyre, which makes it scary at high speed corners.

Comfortable ride of Myvi, I believe this is the main reason people buy Myvi. you just feel so small, and slim in a Myvi. Extra size space and headroom makes you feel like dancing in the car :D hands up and dance at the club song on the radio, you can do that in a Myvi. Soft and comfort tuned suspension, this is good in Malaysia where potholes are everywhere, and if you don't like to stop for humps, buy this car. However the soft tuned suspension totally sacrifice the handling ability of the car. Body roll of the car is annoying, even at low speeds. What I recommend is a bigger size rims and lowered suspension, I think this should help the car to corner.

Well, add this all up, and you'll feel easy to drive this car. It's almost effortless, just brake hard before corners, so that you don't scare your girlfriends ;)
