Perodua Nippa 1997
  • Economy

    Value

    2 out of 5 2.0

    It is great value if you don't mind driving around in a car that looks and feels cheap.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Cheap on petrol and insurance although you can only get parts from the main dealer, which bumps up the price massively.

  • On the road

    Driving

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Gets you from A to B but you wouldn't want to go much further, seats are hard and uncomfortable and the wind makes a really noisy sound as it wips through the wing mirror gaps at high speeds.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A lot better than people claim, it is very "nippy" around town and ideal for squeezing into a small space when parking.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    Owned it for four years and it never broke down.

    Ugly, I've been told it looks like a giant roller skate and sounds like a hair dryer!

    Comfort

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Everything is within easy reach although the front seats are uncomfortable on longer journeys.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    No-one would want to steal it which is a good deterant!

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Expensive but very helpful and friendly.
