1999 Perodua Kancil EX850 review from Malaysia
"A cheap car, everything is cheap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car is like a tin can, bent easily everywhere.
Felt insecure driving it on highways.
Door is just 2 inches from outside and it's hollow!!!
No airbags, no ABS.
Lousy built in audio system.
Lousy alarm system.
Lousy car locks (the doors and the ignition key are same).
Lousy quality control. A lot of screws are not locked tight.
Hardest seat, it's like sitting on a brick.
Poor performance compared to the Mira models (which my car was copied from).
General comments?
Cheapest car here, no comment, but have to bear with cheap materials, cheap quality control and stuff.
