1997 Perodua Kancil EZ850 review from Malaysia
"A quick, easy, economical car, ideal for city and local driving"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Main oil seal leak at about 120,000km.
Brake pads and shoes required replacement at about 140,000km.
Air-con inadequate in warm to hot climates.
Body panels easily damaged in minor fender benders.
General comments?
Car is easy to handle, even without power steering.
Easy to park, with good visibility all around.
A pretty hard ride on a rough road; bungols and judderbars are a menace if you don't slow down, very slow!
