Seems like there are very few or non Perodua owner in this forum.
For those who never heard of Perodua, it is 2nd Malaysia car manufacturer, and has actualy overtaken the market share from the 1st Malaysia car maker (Proton).
Their main product are mini cars with low capacity (0.65L-1.3L)which is economic to operate and fuel efficient. This is one of the reason why it could overtook the market share in Malaysia as the fuel price is keep increasing because the government is reducing their subsidy towards petrol.
Perodua also benifits from the worldwide trusted brand of Toyota as Perodua manufacturing is 51% owned by Daihatsu which is owned by toyota.
Anymore Perodua owner here? Please share your driving experience, which model do you drive??
As for me im a Kelisa driver :D

well, i'm not an owner of the perodua cars that my family owned. but still i always drive the cars when i went out. i got 2 perodua cars, 1 is MyVi and the other one is Kelisa. My opinion kelisa is best car to drive because it really fast compared to Myvi but Myvi looks nice and spacious. anyway what color are your Kelisa. mine is the limited edition, Black and yellow.

Yes! I do agree on kelisa's speed and fast pick-up. It is really an extra bonus for an auto car! My kelisa is in dark blue color. I bought it during last year year-end clearance (before the launch of blue-tooth headset), it only costs RM36,000 with full spec. Good buy!?
If it wasn't for the clearance price, i would also go for a limited edition kelisa. ;p

Yay! I drive perodua kelisa also! It is a small size car at 989 cc. displacement. Totally suit for working singles! It is really easy to drive around, not to mention on finding car park. However, if you are looking for family car, i don't think it is a good choice.

Yes, totally agree. I was facing this problem to move my stuff to my new work place as the loading capacity is really small. The car boot can only be loaded with medium size luggage. However, by considering 99% of the time that i drive alone and without any cargo, it's still worth it.

Yes, it does. but only to UK if not mistaken. But it does not have good reputation there. There were once Jeremy Clarkson introduces this car in TopGear feat Heaven and hell. However, he gave very bad comment on the car and said that it is built without passion.

I heard a lot of good things about kelisa.
The only negative feedback was too small.
One of my friends owns a Kelisa. With a full tank of petrol, he could travel from Kuala Lumpur to Kelantan.
The maintainance was minor. No really very much.
I am sure if all of the Kelisa owners are so lucky as him or not.
