While the Perodua Axia in Malaysia is only available with one engine – a naturally-aspirated (NA) 1.0-litre 1KR-DE 3-pot (65 PS/86 Nm) – over in Indonesia, the Toyota Agya and Daihatsu Ayla get an additional choice of engine.

Forget your Bugatti Chiron or 740 PS Volkswagen Golf, the Ford Focus is in fact the fastest car in the world. That’s exactly what an Italian woman woke up to when she was sent a speeding fine claiming she zipped past a speed trap at 703 km/h in a 70 km/h zone. That’s almost the cruising speed of a Boeing 747 and probably broke a couple of rules, so she was fined EUR 864 and docked 10 points off her licence. Putting two and two together we know that it’s caused by a faulty camera, but bureaucracy

It's an appealing driver's car Significantly improved compared to the previous version But how does it compare to the Myvi? No one expected that when Perodua introduced the Perodua Myvi, it would be the default choice for young and old buyers alike.
