Myvi: Why It's the King of the Road
For years, Myvi has been the reigning ruler for the throne of “The King of the Road” in Malaysia. First, it started as a meme due to the unusual incidents Myvi is usually involved with. Perodua Myvi lived up to its nickname throughout all of its three generations. The important question is, what is the exact reason and justification for how Perodua Myvi was able to hold the power to conquer the road of Malaysia for so long?
The Friendliest Car in Town
Have you ever met someone that is so friendly and easy-going with you to the point that someone really made a big positive impact in your life? That’s how the Perodua Myvi is. The King of the Road is friendly in almost all aspects of a car that you can think of.
On the tip of the iceberg, Myvi is a very pocket-friendly car, especially for students, young drivers, new families and budget-conscious individuals alike. One of the reasons for this is the characteristics of the feature used by Myvi, Eco Idle to make it a very fuel-efficient vehicle to be used for daily drives and also long getaways. This feature will eliminate unnecessary fuel consumption during idling, hence contributing to fuel efficiency. To add, the availability of spare parts, affordable services for maintenance and the number of expert foremen to work on Myvi also play an important role in the car being very pocket-friendly.
Since coming out in 2005 until today, Myvi never failed to prove that it is a user-friendly car that is able to cater to the needs of every user from every social class, background and what they do for a living. To cater to the needs of the majority of users and drivers in Malaysia, Myvi offers not only an easy-to-maneuver nature for a car but also delivers impressive power when needed. This is crucial to make it as an all-rounder. Also worth mentioning, Myvi is getting more spacious throughout the generation. The OG Myvi which is the first generation already can accommodate 5 people at a time with sufficient space for luggage in the boot. As Perodua releases the second and third generation, the passenger space also keeps on getting better as the space increases and is able to give more comfort to the passengers with bigger boot sizes despite being a compact. To add more, the features such as the infotainment deck also keep on getting better and better.
Small Frame, Big Game
Undeniably being the number one choice in the compact segment in Malaysia, Myvi brings durability and longevity into the game. One big key to this aspect is how Daihatsu open the doors to cutting-edge technology and engineering support. This made The King of the Road not only compact but also convenient. With the rigorous quality control processes which include extensive testing for durability and performance, Myvi is less prone to major issues. This also incorporates Myvi with robust components and engineering technology. Equipped with sturdy and reliable parts engineered by Daihatsu and also the locality of the spare parts available also contributes to its longevity.
Sporting and Supportive Local Community
The role of the local car clubs all around Malaysia also promotes the number of Myvi you can see on the driveway. From the JDM-inspired modified Myvi to the clean-concept Myvi-Conti, the people in the communities and clubs have one thing in common despite having different tastes. They all share the same love for the King of the Road. The Myvi community has an active presence online, with social media groups, forums, and hashtags dedicated to sharing experiences, advice, and tips on maintaining and customizing the Myvi.
