2003 Perodua Kembara EZi review from Malaysia
"A great car for the average practical family man"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In the first week the carpet liner (plastic) began to shift out of place , but with re-adjustment, it was fine.
General comments?
The Kembara I have is the flagship DVVT EZ model and it has been worth every cent. I really am comfortable in this vehicle. It is extremely nippy for Malaysian traffic and tricky parking spots. The best thing is how economical it is. The best feature is the car phone kit that is normally seen in high end luxury cars like Mercedes-Benz. It is a fantastic vehicle for in town cruising or long trips.
The differential lock helps me out at the construction site in case of any emergencies. My colleagues never stop praising me for waiting and buying the DVVT model. I think it really makes a difference. The older model was noisy and a gas guzzler for a 1.3L SUV. This model is more sporty, stylish, luxurious, quite and safe. The space is truly for five average adults. Reliability is my only concern with this SUV...
