Since Malaysia is the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . There is some mainstream media made a comment that Jalopnik made a bias review since the Toyobaru twins is consider as a niche UBER SPORTSCARZ in Malaysia. I say it's a bunch of BS. they say that this piece of crap is the cheapest in all South East Asian region. Okay let's see the car specs -

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

- 660cc Toyota sourced EF-VE DOHC with 47 BHP/ 43lb ft

- No airbags

- Questionable build quality

- the only thing that's great about this car is it's available in manual transmission

-Sold around $8,000

Would you guys consider this car if it's for sale in your country? I'm not messing with anyone. I just hate to see people compare apples with oranges

I'm better off with the Ayla! :D

1L engine, i don't know how many hp produced but it's quite good, and get a massive mileage. Plus it's a proper car.

7.6k for the base model.

I'm a big guy, 6'2" and not too light. The only way I'm buying a car with under a hundred horsepower is if it is so incredibly gorgeous that I won't mind driving slowly. And it'd still probably have to be British.

...like this one.

What does this have to do with Toyobaru?

No and never. First off, not a RWD coupe.

Second and more realistic, if I was that desperate to get a great deal on a cheap car, I would just buy a used Civic. Because its actually a car, you know with an engine and air bags. It would probably last longer used than that thing new anyways.

Trust me, the Ayla is about the same as the Viva.

You're still dodging the question, sir.

The BRZ is a niche uber sportscar in Malaysia? Well what the fuck is this over there, then? A goddamn unicorn?

Ow! I feel your pain. Not that I'm driving anything awesome over here Stateside...just a rapidly-wearing-out Ford Taurus, but at least I've got reasonable choices when it finally gives up the ghost. Sorry to hear about the market in Malaysia.

It's a unicorn alright. Even a SLS AMG cost $600,000.

Malaysian Automotive Ministry experts says its unfair > claiming not fair comparing the Toyobaru twins because it's a high-end sportcars > put this Perodua Viva to compare the cheapest car in all South East Asia.

In all actuality, I did buy this for 9k almost a year ago. While it won't last as long, its A LOT better than one of these cars IMO.

I usually take those experts with a grain of salt considering SAE/DOT experts here.

Atleast I still have my V6 Proton :(

No reason to cry, its still an actual car. I would take that 10 out 10 times compared to Diahatsu or whatever.

For the equivalent of around $5k more, I'd rather have a Mivi.

I'd prefer a secondhand Ford Fiesta Sedan. Same price

Ok, I see what youre saying. I thought you were talking about a Jalopnik article comparing the two. The linked article is in fact total BS. As for the original question, I would NOT buy that car. It is half the price of a decent new car here in the US though.

It is cheap. but lacked many safety features making it a death-trap.
