Judge a car based on its intended purpose....

  As was noted by the ice breaker, we appreciate the very machine that your car truly is. I may be biased and envious but a Ferrari or an Aston Martin isn’t something that you give to your child that just had their 17th birthday who can’t park the car to save their life.
  Having said that, as some of us might have seen on a certain show a group of auto journalist slammed economical cars like the Proton Satria Neo, Perodua MYVi and such. with all due respect to those journalist, they are judging those cars based on the same standards that they would expect of a Ferrari or a Bentley and not for what those cars truly are which is a car for a man on the street and was only meant to get a person from point A to point B.


According to them the Perodua MYVi has "breaks that are rubbish and the ride is rubbish", they also complained about the plastic dashboard and lining and said that this is a car that you drive with a long face. However I drive that car quite a lot and to me it’s a pretty good car for a man on the street. The car doesn’t drink much fuel, has the gadgets that a normal person would need and is relatively comfortable. I know I am not alone when I say that the Perodua MYVi is quite a good car to own given that its price is low and IT’S ECONOMICAL which the same reason it was built for is and it caters to the economically conscious segment of society.

Hence as I said with all due respect, you can’t judge an economical car on the same standard that you would judge a luxury sedan or a super car, so perhaps the journalist may want to exercise come leniency when they judge future cars of the same category.
