Safety & Tech
Common Problem
Reliability and Maintenance
The Perodua Viva is generally considered a reliable and economical car. Owners have praised its low maintenance costs, cheap parts, and fuel efficiency. However, it is important to note that the Viva is a basic car designed for getting from point A to B without any frills or advanced features. Regular maintenance and timely part replacements are crucial to prevent major issues.
Safety Concerns
Safety is a notable concern among Viva owners. The car lacks advanced safety features, which might be a consideration if you plan on traveling long distances frequently. For those prioritizing safety, alternatives like the Perodua Axia might be better due to additional safety features such as dual front airbags.
Steering and Comfort
Some users have mentioned issues with the steering, particularly in models without powered steering. While the weight of the steering is manageable, it may not be as smooth as powered steering options. Comfort is also minimal, with reports of noise, vibration, and harshness being common.
Build Quality
The build quality has been described as lacking, with some users comparing the shell to "tin milo". This reflects the car's focus on affordability rather than durability or luxury.
Comparison with Other Models
When considering alternatives, the Perodua Axia is often recommended over the Viva due to better safety features and slightly more space. The Viva remains a popular choice for those seeking an inexpensive and straightforward vehicle, but for those who prioritize safety and comfort, exploring other models like the Axia or even the Proton Saga might be worthwhile.
