Parking brake is a safety mechanism that prevents a stationary car from rolling away. Parking brake is also commonly referred to handbrake because of its hand-operated lever. However, there are also different types of parking brake such as foot-operated pedal (footbrake) as well as the increasingly common electric parking brake (EPB). Each of these parking brakes has its benefits, but which is the best? First, we will explain how each parking brake works. The manual handbrake and footbrake work

If you’re looking to buy a used Myvi as well, then here’s what you need to know before you purchase one. It is understandable why the Myvi is still a crowd favourite even in the used car market.

Since its launch 15 years ago, the Perodua Myvi has been holding the top spot as Malaysian’s favourite hatchback.

The Perodua Myvi is Malaysia’s most popular car but in Indonesia, the Myvi does not enjoy the same popularity. However, the car might have scored a new generation of fans. The King, which is badged as the Daihatsu Sirion in the archipelago, was awarded the best city car award in the Marketeers Youth Choice Brands of the Year 2020. This was a result of a survey conducted by Marketeers with 1,300 Generation Z respondents all over Indonesia within the age of 18 to 25 years old. The majority of the

Images of a white Perodua Myvi sitting on a fish stall has gone viral on social media recently. The fish seller claims to have suffered RM 1,000 worth of damages though nobody was hurt in the incident that happened in Ketereh, Kota Bharu. According to the owner of the fish stall, Zulkifli Ramli, 44, the white Myvi was driven by a 60-year-old woman who had mistakenly stepped on the throttle pedal instead of the brake, causing the car to shoot forward and land on top of the stall’s counter.

Apabila berbincang tentang penyelenggaraan kereta, kita sering beri lebih perhatian kepada enjin dan transmisi kereta. Lagipun, selalunya kita ke pusat servis kereta pun samada nak tukar minyak enjin atau cecair transmisi. Walaupun kedua-dua aspek ini penting untuk menggerakkan kereta, brek juga sama penting untuk memberhentikan kereta. Oleh itu, bagaimana caranya untuk menjaga brek kereta? Kadangkala, anda mungkin dengar bunyi pelik-pelik yang datangnya dari brek, tapi anda tak tahu apa masalah

For those shopping for a B-segment hatchback, the default option for many Malaysians is the Perodua Myvi. The other alternative is the Proton Iriz, but we’ll get into that later. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the Perodua Myvi’s pros and cons, as well as the estimated monthly payment to see if it’s the right car for you. Pros and Cons Headlining the Perodua Myvi is its value-for-money preposition. For a car that costs less than RM 53k, the potential buyer does get a fair bit of equ

If you have a car that’s been parked for a little bit too long, you will start to notice rust forming on the brake discs/rotors. Some of us are able to look past this, while some of us can’t stand the sight of it. Is rust on the brake discs harmful? Brake discs wear out over time either by thinning, warping, or rusting. So, if you’re wondering whether rust on the brake disc is harmful or not, the answer is yes, but only if left unattended for way too long. Rust can corrode the discs and damage t

Before you brush this off as yet another criticism against our own domestic products, let us make it clear that the Perodua Myvi is probably the best point A to point B car on sale right now. As a daily car, the Perodua Myvi is close to perfection. It does its job so well that it’s quite hard to justify paying more for a Honda Jazz – does the Jazz have a built-in Smart Tag, or AEB? Guessed so. The Honda Jazz’s Ultra Seats is nice to have but how often do you even fold the rear seats? So what’s t

The Perodua Myvi Advance is one of the few cars that have the ability to appeal to buyers from all walks of life. From fresh grads to highly accomplished chief executives, the love for the Perodua Myvi knows no bounds. Over 1 million Myvis has left the production floors since the car was unveiled to the public in May 2005. It's not hard to see why the Perodua Myvi Advance can capture the hearts of most, if not all, Malaysians. The Myvi Advance has always offered superb value for its price as wel

If you’re a fresh grad looking for your first car, chances are you’re looking at the Perodua Myvi. It offers great value for money and is packed with features, some of which aren’t even offered in cars twice its price. But then someone said you could buy a used Honda City for about the same price. So how should you decide? Before we continue, we'd like to note that this isn't strictly limited to the Honda City. Other options can include the Toyota Vios, Honda Jazz, Volkswagen Polo, etc. Likewise

While we wait for Perodua to announce details on prices and specifications of its upcoming Perodua D55L compact SUV, Indonesia’s tax office’s website has uploaded its latest Motor Vehicle Sales Value (NJKB, Nilai Jual Kenderaan Bermotor), which includes the Toyota Raize and Daihatsu Rocky, both are donor cars to the Perodua D55L.

Kalau anda ada kereta yang lama tersadai, anda akan mula perasan karat terbentuk di cakera brek (brake disc) atau di pemutarnya. Ada yang boleh buat-buat tak nampak karat tersebut, tapi ada juga pemilik kereta yang tak keruan dibuatnya. Adakah cakera brek berkarat membahayakan nyawa? Cakera brek lama-kelamaan akan menjadi lusuh disebabkan oleh geseran, meleding, atau karat. Oleh itu, jika anda tertanya-tanya jika cakera brek berkarat bahaya atau tidak, jawapannya “Ya” – tapi, hanya bila ia ditin

Volkswagen is not the only car mainstream car maker that’s culling its sedans line-up. The current generation 2021 Lexus IS, which made its global preview earlier in June and will go on sale later this year as a 2021 model, will be the last Lexus IS sedan. This is according to a scoop by Japan’s Mag-X. The Japanese publication went on to say that the 2021 Lexus IS was originally meant to be developed on the rear-wheel drive TNGA-L platform that currently underpins the Lexus LS, Lexus LC, and Toy

The infamous Jeremy Clarkson once said “Nothing turns a 17-year-old girl on more than a well-executed handbrake turn.", whether that is true or not, we will leave it up to your imagination (or testing?), but one of our Wapcar readers recently asked an interesting question of whether a cool handbrake turn is possible with the electric parking brake (EPB), and the short answer is - yes and no. Before we get into detail, the EPB is more compact than their mechanical counterparts, can automatically

While the internet is still raining praises on the Royal Malaysian Police’s (PDRM) swift arrests of both suspects in the Proton Waja drama that happened last week, others were impressed by the Perodua Myvi’s composure in the video when the Waja was doing its best to ram it aside. But, the question remains, what of the Myvi’s repairs? Can the owner claim insurance? From what we can see in the viral video, the Myvi sustained the most damage when the Waja was desperately trying to squeeze between t

As much as we like to have many, many cars in our lifetime, sometimes dreams remain just that - dreams. Case in point is the Toyota GR Yaris - from RM 286k, it's a bit out of reach for most of us. But a Perodua Myvi though? It's something most Malaysians can afford, with the most expensive variant topping out at RM 52k. Unless several thousand Ringgit is poured into one, the Myvi isn't the closest thing to what one terms as a road-going rally car. But JW Bodykit Accessories will at least make Ma

There is a good reason why the Perodua Myvi is Malaysia’s best-selling car, as no other segment rivals can beat its value-for-money proposition. Couple that with its stellar fuel economy and reputation for rock-solid reliability, it’s hard to topple the Myvi as the nation's best-selling car. When it was introduced back in late-2017, it was the first sub-RM60k car to feature Perodua’s ASA ADAS suite, which includes Pre-Collision Warning and Braking, Front Departure Alert, and Pedal Misoperation C

The Internet is a wonderful place for rumour mills (remember the hullabaloo surrounding the Proton X50?) All one needs is to put in a photo, and boom, people will start talking about it. Which is what we saw happen when Toyota Malaysia teased the GR Yaris. People went crazy over it, and that's fair - it's an exciting car, but not expected to be cheap. But if you really need some Gazoo Racing flavour, maybe this can inspire you. GR Perodua Myvi? Enter the 'GR Perodua Myvi'. Rendered by Mr. Kuruma
