We say Decent, cheap runaround for urban use but very basic.Performance The Myvi’s 86bhp 1.3-litre petrol can handle town easily enough and cruises well. The auto box is one to avoid.Emissions 48mpg is possible in the 1.3 manual; the auto box knocks fuel economy down to 44mpg. CO2 is 137 and 151g/km respectively, which is acceptable rather than impressive for a car the size of the Myvi.Driving The Myvi is not particularly assured around corners, and steering is light. Ride is smooth enough over most surfaces.Feel Clunky transmission and noise inside the cabin are minus points for the Myvi.Space The Myvi offers lots of space in the cabin, and while the boot is small at 225 litres the rear sears splitfold to extend load space to over 600.Equipment Aircon, CD player, electric windows, central locking, metallic paint, reversing sensors are standard on the Perodua city car.Price The Myvi has a decent starting price, good running costs and kit levels are good. But is it value for money? Not really.Quality There's a six-year warranty on Perodua models. Sister car the Daihatsu Sirion is durable.Safety Twin front airbags, EBD with ABS are standard on the Myvi.Pros Cheap runabout that will be good around town. Good kit levels.Cons Below par in most regards.Alternatives Daihatsu Sirion, Fiat Panda
