I test drove the auto version about 2 yrs ago, just before the agent (Comfort) pulled out of the car distribution biz....Originally posted by F[r]0sTy:anybody can provide me details/info on the car. not neccesary to have driven it before, all opinions are welcomed. i would like to know abt the price, handling, interior workmanship.
lucky didn't buy.
Car is very underpowered, and so to compensate has v short gearing. I remember the pick up from traffic light was ok, but noisy, but at 80km/h engine was already doing about 4000rpm
. Decided then that it wasn't for me cos I do lots of expressway driving. Heard from others that consumption is pretty bad too.
Interior ? Can't remember much except that steering wheel was damn cheap-looking and ugly and seats had some gaudy colour scheme. -
ya, from the specs can see that its gonna be underpowered. guess a 1300cc engine for a SUV doesn't really work out. how about the price? i heard the engine is daihatsu produced?

Kembara, i believe is like kachi in Malaysia. Should be daihatsu made.Originally posted by F[r]0sTy:ya, from the specs can see that its gonna be underpowered. guess a 1300cc engine for a SUV doesn't really work out. how about the price? i heard the engine is daihatsu produced?
I have never tested drive before, but i have friends that drive kachi. Those cars will "flies". My friend have ram to 140km on that small piece of equipments. -
If I'm not wrong, the engine is the same 1.3l 16V engine as the Charade SG sedan. A decent engine, but prob too much power loss through the auto trans and the full time 4WD. Like most Perodua cars, the car IS a rebadged Daihatsu- look up Daihatsu Terios. Same car, different badge only....Originally posted by F[r]0sTy:ya, from the specs can see that its gonna be underpowered. guess a 1300cc engine for a SUV doesn't really work out. how about the price? i heard the engine is daihatsu produced?
The price was not competitive last time - cost about the same as a normal Jap saloon for a rather spartan car. Anyway, I don't think there are any new Kembaras being sold here anymore....unless you want a 2nd hand one.
The new Kembara in Malaysia has a VVTi engine, so supposedly is better. -

honda jazz
mitsubishi lancer
suzuki swift
toyota altis
daihatsu yrv turbo
thx guys, you're helping alot -
honda jazz rather expensive, latest i saw on wheels, it cost abt 72k, no doubt a geat car, but i feel not worth paying this kind of $ for a 1.4L carOriginally posted by F[r]0sTy:somehow, i find the wooden parts of the altis and vios dash very plasticky. after reading some of your opinions. i have narrowed the field down to,

Frosty,
If you prefer a bit to sporty type... Mazda3 is abt 70k budget... -
oh yes, i tink mazda3 is a gd car as well. but its a little on the expensive side, 70k+ rite? if possible i would like 2 get a car below 70k. but thx for ur opinion, its a gd car and worth considering.

Jazz 67500 (A)
City 59500 (A) idsi 63500 (A) Vtec
Vios 57776 (A)
Altis 66376(1.6A) 73476 (1.8A)
If want to get a value for money, which would be a good choice?
Family quite big but mostly one person drive.
I hv thot of getting City but was advised that the parts are really exp$$?
I only considering these two brands coz of their FC.
Thanks.
