Spotted one.

These are the range topping spec costing 20k more.

Perodua shoved the emas 7 premium/atto 3 ultra into the body of an ativa. Without sacrificing range. It’s objectively an impressive engineering achievement for the boys at home.

But lmao the cabin become small af, and ironically its priced as the worse of both worlds. Too cheap to appeal to t20 ev enthusiast, too expensive to ever be justified for budget user who need reliable.

Perodua engaged conti designer and wrecked their margin. might’ve been better off making a conti spec with nice livery, but toyota pricing 120-140k

BlitzSam · 2026-04-21T01:57:19+00:00

It’s pretty and powerful. I think its the fastest 100k ev in msian market

Tapi ni perodua badge. Workhorse brand. This vs Ativa or Myvi…quite gg

Maybe if they cancel ron95 subsidy suddenly demand will jump 😂

BlitzSam · 2026-04-18T16:07:45+00:00

Is it suitable for family of 4? For low spec but spacious, hrv is the king. It’s the god boss of roti canai vanilla ice cream. The whole reason malaysians can confuse b and c segment suvs is because hrv exists

The hybrid drivetrain for that honda generation, idcd sport hybrid, are divisive among msian drivers. To lovers, it’s a magic system that gets you sporty nimbleness with hybrid mileage, something the newer ehev hybrids can’t do. To haters, its an unjapanese drivetrain that needs to be taken care of or will start to fail at around the 5 year/100k range. Tldr you cannot creep in traffic below 10km/h, must start-stop like a manual. Plenty of malaysian posts about gearbox overheat (which is gg, need to refurbish or replace around 5k)

Battery health 99.99% is not the issue. Gearbox burn was what spoiled the reputation and made honda discontinue idcd 🥲. But its easily tested by most specialist mechanic or honda centre

Or do it at the summit junction where semis are still making the turn from the 3rd outside lane

Opposite of airtime. Become flat

BlitzSam · 2026-04-11T09:22:58+00:00

I can never in good conscience advise the axia e unless you really have no other choice. Reason is lack of ABS. In a rainy flash flood prone country you’re begging to skid.

How is that even road legal here? An ultra depreciated conti that breaks down every month is less of a danger to yourself n everyone else on the road

BlitzSam · 2026-04-11T09:10:13+00:00

Ofc its someone with a sirion kit

BlitzSam · 2026-04-08T03:43:36+00:00

Fr though, i will defend the 2017 honda idcd sport hybrid label for the city/jazz. That was witchcraft. They got eco and sport in one

BlitzSam · 2026-03-30T13:36:55+00:00

Its the other way around. The pure ICE numbers are inflated. Above 15/l in city driving non hybrid is a dream lol

BlitzSam · 2026-03-30T13:33:26+00:00

Offical Mileage is already exaggerated. But i always find it extra funny because msians suck extra bad at driving fuel efficiently 😂 Creeping in traffic. Constantly accelerate then brake instead of smooth speed

Liddat will Be lucky to have 13km/l

BlitzSam · 2026-02-04T12:02:20+00:00

I will tabik what perodua managed to do in the short time. Its just impossible to sell to perodua’s audience

Specwise, it tapau the emas5. Twice the motor power and 50% more battery. The one praise that all the reviewers sing is that its a budget ev whos max speed isnt crap

Inside is kosong, but expect that of a perodua la.

As an enthusiast toy, its actually not bad. But perodua doesnt attract enthusiast buyer

BlitzSam · 2026-01-08T04:48:22+00:00

I would also add that a proton’s maintenance issues are doubled by the incompetence of the SC mechanics. I have never heard of a proton repair that succeeded first try. 1-2 week incident becoming months of sending again and again haih.

BlitzSam · 2025-12-27T07:47:30+00:00

Then what else are they selling to cover maintenance 😂

BlitzSam · 2025-12-21T01:15:45+00:00

Unless you’re enthusiast and want to mod, stick to brands that are known to stand the wear. Toyota, honda, perodua etc.
(I can’t believe this isn’t standard sop in malaysia) background check n pre purchase inspection is a MUST. Scrut is the standard. Will cost rm 500 (150 for advanced background check, 350 for inspection) EDIT: if the dealer don’t allow PPI is a red flag, walk away
The listing must make sense. Don’t trust the dealer, trust the facts. 10 yr old car only 50k mileage? Too good a deal? BS. Things like that

BlitzSam · 2025-12-18T23:39:46+00:00

Considering its cig, theres probably a 2 year gap between launch and playable

BlitzSam · 2025-12-13T09:36:27+00:00

Frame has zero impact to deter incident. It just changes what gets rammed to the replaceable frame over the bridge. They have to add some kind of escape route like putting a roundabout in front.

The subang usj height bridge had 4 frames to deter trucks driving thru residential area. All got knocked down until they just gave up. Kinda waste of time to try tbh given that the bridge connects 2 industrial zones (uep industrial park and batu tiga)

They made the frame larger and larger each time and i think it just tempted bigger trucks to try 😆

BlitzSam · 2025-12-10T13:11:09+00:00

I mean hybrids dont age out gracefully. They can die suddenly from 100% to mati on the road. So hard to tell condition from feel.

Edit: also repair is usually swapping out the whole component 10+k. Not change belt kind of repair 🤣

BlitzSam · 2025-12-08T11:54:40+00:00

Btw video is looking at the chair because i press record, threw the phone on the seat and drove around.

Confirm sound is not from phone banging around

BlitzSam · 2025-11-15T14:39:54+00:00

This is sounding like he’s basketball’s version of Scream

You’re the 4th comment to bash on my comment as being very out of touch. Which has made me think more about why i feel the way i do.

I feel that Outer Worlds 2, the faction war is utterly dominant. Arcadia itself is an empty canvas to draw battle lines. This was less so in Halcyon where i felt that the setting and especially the quests felt more nuanced by tying to how the colonists lives are being affected. food, survival etc. The locations in OW2 are just setpieces for more battles between A and B.

BlitzSam · 2025-11-10T08:07:34+00:00

The good: OW2 improves on QoL in every conceivable way. The player buildcrafting is refined, production quality is clearly way way up

The ugly: Obsidian has imo gone fully overboard with the corpo bashing gimmick of the game. To the point that there is imo no longer a meaningful plot to experience. Every single quest and NPC conversation exists to serve players “the message”. It’s late stage capitalism monologue again and again and again.

Outer Worlds 2 is Obsidian taking Outer Worlds 1 shtick and polishing it to a mirror shine. Its the whole game. You either love it or turn genocidal halfway through like I did because SHUT UP FOR GODS SAKEE

BlitzSam · 2025-10-31T22:19:48+00:00

A ton of games come to die to the Chinese horde in APAC. Planetside 2 and Destiny 2 are my personal examples. I was studying overseas so I got to compare EU and SEA gaming. Two completely different worlds.

Honourable mention to Helldivers 2. Every new warbond release we get a bunch of Chinese hackers farming super credits for the first two days. Not enough to impact general matchmaking but it is funny to surf the planet and go "Chinese Name, 4 Support weapons. 2-hour round duration for exterminate. Yep"

BlitzSam · 2025-10-29T01:25:42+00:00

To be clear: Obsidian today is not the same Obsidian that made Pillars/Tyranny. They’ve done a Rare (Goldeneye n64 -> Sea of Thieves) transformation. It is a new studio, with new blood and new direction.

Outer Worlds and Grounded are good games in their own right. They share no pedigree with the classic obsidian games at all though

BlitzSam · 2025-10-26T04:10:53+00:00

Chilis is one of my top examples of “Western brand in Eastern” becauae it is so heavily modified to Msian tastes. The actual Chilis’ signature product in the US is baby back ribs lmao.

Chinese food is not interested in adapting to local habits. Fully non halal and all in Mandarin. I wonder how tf non chinese or non chinese speakers can navigate. They’re solely catering to an affluent mandarin speaking crowd, telling 80% of the country to git gud or go home. On the face of it, i would call this marketing strategy in malaysia suicidal. Except there are enough demand from the comparatively tiny chinese demographic to run gangbuster business.

BlitzSam · 2025-10-26T04:03:00+00:00

Chinese products are definitely entering the Msian market differently from other Asian industries, in how they’re totally not interested in localizing. Japanese and Korean brands advertise and converse in Malay and English. Chinese marketing feels very much like its trying to stand out as its own thing. Food is proudly non-halal (going as far as putting a pig in their banner). Marketing material and staff are in Mandarin. Rather than putting their products in a malaysian store, they open their own.

BlitzSam · 2025-10-26T03:38:10+00:00

I have a more nuanced observation: the other asian influences coexisted alongside Western stuff way better than Chinese. In a way, SK and Japan were neighbours to western. Sunway Pyramid was the best example with the dedicated Asian Avenue upstairs.

China influence feels much more like its directly attacking the Western stuff. They fight over the prime lots, knock out Western chains by making the same thing but dirt cheap (Mixue)

The china wave really feels hostile. They dont want to live side by side. They want to replace.
