Overview

It may not be a well known badge, but the Myvi is an excellent small car. It’s easy to drive, exceptionally cheap to buy and run and very well built. The Perodua name may be an unfamiliar one to you too, as the company has only been in the UK since 1998, but it’s already started to make a name for itself as a producer of affordable and practical cars.

The Myvi is the best yet and proves that cheap needn’t mean second-best. Further reassurance – should you need it – is that the model was developed with Toyota and Daihatsu – two companies with long reputations for engineering excellence.
