Proton Waja

  Here’s some fact about Proton WAJA The Proton Waja is a saloon car designed in-house by Malaysian automotive company, Proton, first released in August 2000. The Waja is the first Malaysian-designed car, with a chassis derived from a Mitsubishi Carisma and a Volvo S40. The name Waja, which means "tough (as steel)", reflects the strength of the steel used for the Waja compared with the previous models. The name was chosen partly to counter the perception in the domestic market that Proton cars were less strong.[citation needed] In the United Kingdom, the Waja is sold asProton Impian, "Impian" being another derivative of the Malay language, meaning "dream". The Proton Waja is the first model designed in-house by Proton. The development...

Viva the Alza

  The Perodua MPV finds winning ways to give motorists what they want. IT sells some 7,000 units every month, is relatively cheap and has ample room for five passengers. It has a preppy engine and looks smart. It’s not expensive to maintain and retains its resale value. It’s not surprising therefore that the Perodua Myvi is the best-selling car in the country. But what the Myvi lacks is decent rear boot space – which is particularly felt during the balik kampung ride during the festive season, or as the kids in the family grow bigger and bigger. Would making a bigger Myvi be a step in the right direction? Absolutely, say the people at Perodua, who feel they have a found winning formula in the Alza, a multi-purpose vehicle launched on Monday. Looking much like a stretched, raised...

Perodua Nautica : Perodua Kembara

  Perodua Nautica : Replacement Of Perodua Kembara The Perodua Kembara was launched in 1998, and as one of the cheapest 4WD SUVs in the market, it took the lion’s share of the SUV market – 60% by 1999. The Kembara’s successor – the Perodua Nautica 4WD was launched today and Perodua seems to be approaching it differently, bringing it as a premium product imported from Japan (a first for a Perodua) with only one variant priced at RM89,900 OTR with insurance. While the Kembara took 60%, Perodua only intends to take 5% of the current SUV market, with sales of about 150 to 200 units monthly. The Perodua Nautica is essentially a Perodua-badged version of the short wheelbase Daihatsu Terios/Toyota Rush. The front bumper and grille is different,...

Perodua Myvi in North America

When most motorists hear the name Perodua, they usually run away screaming. Let's just say that Perodua has a reputation for quality which is somewhat equivalent to Chinese cheap toy companies. That's a real shame since the Myvi is an all new design that shows the world that Perodua is taking the criticism seriously. Its 1.3 litre engine provides sporty performance that will satisfy the most demanding fast driver (keeping in mind what class of car we're in) and the fuel mileage is below the class average, but excellent for the size of engine. The price of the Myvi is somewhat unfortunate as if it could be chopped down by 15% it would definitely place it in the Top 5 in the class.The Perodua Myvi Hatchback 1.3 SXi 5 Door is estimated to carry a North American net sale price of $12,246.00, given...

Perodua Viva Versus Perodua MyVi : Comparison

Confusing To Choose Viva Or MyVi? Maybe This Would Help..I know some of you who are thinking of buying the Perodua Myvi are now considering buying the top of the range Perodua Viva 1000cc Premium instead. So I’m going to do a little comparison here. If you have anything to add, please feel free to comment and contribute to the discussion.PowerInterestingly, it seems that the same 1.0 liter DVVT EJ-VE engine in the Perodua Viva makes more torque than the Perodua Myvi’s 1.0 liter DVVT EJ-VE engine. The Viva claims to make 90Nm of torque at 3,600rpm, while the Myvi 1.0 liter only makes 88Nm at 3,600rpm – that’s a minor difference of only 2Nm though.Since the Perodua Viva 1.0 liter would clearly beat the Myvi 1.0 in terms of power to weight ratio, so let’s compare the Myvi 1.3 to the Viva 1.0...

Honda Jazz 2009

Honda Jazz 2009. Worth to get One!Surprisingly, there will be no diesel engines under the bonnet as Honda believes the refinement, fuel economy and performance of its i-VTEC petrol engines justify shunning a diesel. So, the 1.2 and 1.4-litre petrol engines will power the new Jazz at launch and a hybrid will come during 2009, promising no road tax.Emissions fall from 129g to 120g/km for the 1.2 litre, which is mated to a 5 speed manual. Instead of 78PS, the 1.2 now has 90PS and returns 55.4 mpg combined. The 1.4 litre emits 124g/km from 137g and 139g and is teamed up with Honda's new 6-speed automated manual i-SHIFT transmission that replaces the previous CVT. A 5 speed manual is also optional.

Perodua Alza: First Perodua MPV

New arrival! Perodua AlzaHere it is – the new Perodua Alza! We’ve been following the development of this MPV ever since we first got news of its existence back in early 2008, where it was reported that Toyota and Daihatsu were going to build a new MPV and produce it in Indonesia. When the Daihatsu Luxio MPV came out we all got a shock – that more of a van so we waited patiently until Christmas last year when the Toyota Passo Sette was finally unveiled in Japan. Nearly a year later, the Perodua-badged model with a new front, rear and interior is here. How much is the new Perodua Alza?So anyway, here we are finally, the Perodua Alza. The smaller MPV also comes with a smaller price tag, though Proton has worked to introduce the Exora Basic as...

Toyota Ractis

  Will Perodua Myvi New Model Be Like This?   Ractis is powered by same engine as the Toyota Sienta while the Ractis also available in 1.3L variant. The Ractis is introduced in Japan in year 2005 and had been years we hear rumours that Toyota will bring in this model to Malaysia. However, we do not see it in the showroom until now. So perhaps the Perodua will bring in this model as their new MPV. However, the Ractis is a 5 seater mini MPV. So to make it a 6 seater MPV, Perodua will need to do some job to extend the Ractis wheelbase so that it is long enough to accomodate 6. Personally, i prefer this Toyota Ractis design as it gives me the feel of Toyota Wish and Estima! Its such a cool machine! Wow!...

Choosing Sports Spring For Your Car

Lowering Your Car Properly Using Sports SpringsRate vs. Load vs. Sag It's all too easy to get lost in suspension lingo. However, when it comes to springs, there are a few terms that you should get familiar with and understand. - Spring rates are generally rated in pounds per inch (lb/in), which represents the amount of force required to compress the coil spring by 1 inch. For example, a 900 lb/in spring will compress 1 inch under a load of 900 pounds. This is not the same thing as pounds per square inch (psi), which is a measure of pressure.- Spring load is the amount of weight that a coil spring can support at any given compressed height. More simply put, if a 10-inch-tall spring at free height with a 200 lb/in rate were compressed to a height...

Car washing tips

It?s simple to wash your car, but you want to do it right. Here are a few tips to protect your car and get it clean. Sharing Tips For Car Beauty* Don?t use dish soap. Many people think that this is an acceptable cleaning agent for cars--it?s not. Go to an auto store and look for soaps made specifically for vehicles. * Use a bucket to mix the soap with water and wash using a big mitt or large sponge. Remember to rinse the sponge/mitt it often to avoid scrubbing dirt and grime back into your car?s finish. * Wash your car in the shade so that the car itself is cool and you won?t have the sun drying it faster than you can work, leaving spots. * Start with the wheels, one at a time. Hose down one wheel and then spray on a wheel cleaner on the wheel AND rim. Using a brush scrub down all the dirt...
