Perodua Myvi Hatchback (2006 - 2013)

The Perodua Myvi is a small hatchback with rugged reliability, which is manoeuvrable and easy to park. It’s an alternative choice to mainstream superminis, but it isn’t a good one. It’s far too compromised in too many areas, most notably safety and quality.

Area of interest:

The simplicity of the dashboard means the various controls and dials are clear and functional, while a cubby hole under the stereo and heater controls makes good storage for your mobile phone or wallet. You sit in a slightly raised position at the steering wheel and there’s good visibility through the upright windscreen and tall side windows. The seats are reasonably supportive, but the lack of reach adjustment on the steering could have a negative impact on your comfort. The biggest problem with the interior, though, is the quality; there’s an awful lot of flimsy-feeling plastic that looks cheap and uninspiring.
