SUNDAY SPECIAL! Perodua Axia G 1.0L - More Expensive Than 2 Weevils Combined & Absolutely Horrible!

[@haoziran8179]

As a B40, this is my dream car, while I am riding on my little 20 years old Honda C70 cub zai....

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

It serves exactly that purpose I guess, mentioned in the description 👍🏽 😊

[@HotRod16]

Go get it! And start part time Ehailing. Helps you increase side income so you can go travel, clear debts and saving up more. This car is far better than what we started with Kancil. Size is lot better.

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

@@HotRod16 nah, really not my kind of car, haha 😆

[@HotRod16]

@@ChrisWeevilGarage bro, you been through the young life. Axia for the young kid serve their needs. You don't need it, but for sure you want something with character.😉

[@JustAnAverageDude-mo4sz]

​@@HotRod16kelisa is better character I think that's what you mean. Good handling car

[@Levinz999]

I love this car...Dad owns all sorts of cars.. Jags,beemers,merc's u name it..but it always gives me joy driving this little thing...I did upgrade the suspension and tires not to forget autofoamed it..owned this car for 8 years now...absolutely reliable and never once gave me a headache..also a lifesaver for my dad if any of his cars goes to the workshop hahaha...

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Indeed, I enjoyed my Savvy a lot too!! 😄

[@denniswong4874]

Axia, the very best car to run around town. back to old days i had the round lamp kancil 850. manual. so nice to drive around town

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Definitely! Easy to park too 😀

[@Sangsinga682]

8 years ago, Saw an axia skided hit a divider and flung mid air near parliment building heading to sentral, landed on the grass turned turtle. Though road was wet, it wasn't going fast. Scary moment.

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Not surprising, they're incredibly light and pretty unstable when there's cross winds 😑

[@zulfadhlizainol6678]

Well that touchscreen probably aftermarket install by car rental company because standard spec only have normal radio and usb without Bluetooth connection. I agree one touch power windows because it so convenient especially after you pay the toll. But hey at least they give power window. I remember used to rent Proton Saga many years ago for a few day and guess what Saga doesn't even have auto down driver side window let alone auto up. Quite weird because I thought the power window broke and on the day i returned the car i did ask them about car power window. They said its normal. All Saga are like that if you want to operate driver side window.😅

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Haha, yeah correct, they're not one touch, just powered 😄

[@mpadman3341]

This is my POV as an owner and regular driver of a 2015 Axia Manual (G spec). It's a love hate relationship. I absolutely Adore my car. It's super basic, has no ABS, no EBD, plastics everywhere, very light construction, but very reliable. With good absorbers, extra sound proofing, better tyres, regular service---my car took me all the way to Bangkok and back in one piece. I will repeat - this car is not for everyone, but this is a keeper for me. It will need a rear anti roll bar and additional bracing to be more stable at higher speed and when being overtaken by larger vehicles. Just my 2.5 sen worth of thoughts on an Axia.😊

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Great feedback! As I said in my latest video, there's absolutely nothing wrong with a basic car, it'll serve its owners well if properly maintained. For me it's my trusty Waja, it's my go-to car, basic, frugal and reliable to a tee 😊

[@mpadman3341]

@@ChrisWeevilGarage Waja will be a great addition to any garage👍

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

@@mpadman3341 indeed, it's my spare car when other Weevils fail, haha 😄

[@ngyc6294]

Haha. My exact opinion shared when one of my relatives initially hunting for a used cash buy 1st gen Vios or 1.6 Altis then 'mind bogglingly' ended up buying new G Axia (it was d pre-facelift then). Still speechless till today

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Would have been much, much better off with a used Altis imho!! 😁

[@ngyc6294]

@@ChrisWeevilGarage exactly. The reason for the purchase was 'it is good enough', which in more sarcastic way of saying it, 'here is a lady to be your life partner, never mind she is ugly, has a beard + moustache and plenty of body hair in places other dun, while sounding like Christian Bale as Batman but she is biologically still able to have kids with u'

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

@@ngyc6294 hahahahahahahaha!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@FirdausAmir]

Bank should offer 2% or lower interest for this axia only to help people get this car

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Agreed! Or even lower, 1.5%. As I said if it gets families off kapchai bikes, I'm all for it 👍🏽😊

[@zaidismail4068]

And some of these axia's would be suddenly be kings of the road, sometimes tailgating and highbeaming us.

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Yep, it happens a lot, it's like they're trying to oust their bigger sibling for the throne of King, haha 😄

[@robston63]

It's nice actually. A peoples car. Even so, not everyone can afford it@it's getting more expensive!

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

@@robston63 no, its not. A Saga isn't that much more expensive and is a LOT better.

[@Highlander226]

Lock the car when parked as ‘cars’ like these are much sought after😆😁🤣

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Might be a blessing if it gets stolen... hahahaha 😆

[@roystonjuti4190]

Actually the Axia G also came in manual, that is 1 tier above the "driving school" spec that u mentioned. Everything is the same as the u got there except it's manual. The manual version of axia G stopped somewhere is 2017 if not mistaken. Sorry if I was wrong. But anyway, I own the G manual version. Manual rocks man! 😊

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

I'm sure it's a LOT more fun to drive than this auto variant!!😄👍🏽

[@alvinsonlampunanakphilip5613]

2017 still got the manual, two variants G and SE (which comes with push start button, keyless entry and bluetooth double din). The next facelift in 2019 both the G and SE manual has been eliminate left only the E alone.

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

@@alvinsonlampunanakphilip5613 thanks for the feedback!! 👍🏽😊

[@brendanjames7707]

You should do a review of my manual axia 😅 you'll definitely notice something. No spoilers haha 😆

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

@@brendanjames7707 I'm sure it's a lot nicer to drive than this auto! 😄

[@yalahmedia]

The manual version is pretty horrid in my opinion - sloppy throws, steering column that gets in the way of the clutch pedal (i have big foot), rev hang

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Thats the one being sold to driving schools iirc, bare bones super basic, steel wheels, no player, etc.

[@jng8475]

😂😂whew… thought you brought another Weevil😅

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Not this, no way!! 🤭😅

[@cedyy1]

driven this and the engine seems to plateau when it reaches 100km/h. above that you'll need to step hard on the accelerator to get it to go beyond that. it's definitely not stable at high speed. those who drive this car above 130km/h got balls of steel.

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

I wouldn't, it didn't feel safe at all even at 100kmh! 😆

[@brendanjames7707]

I own the spec kosong face-lift. I could get 161kph downhill on a good day. GPS speed reading btw.

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

@@brendanjames7707 gosh, I felt insecure at 110kmh, no way I'd do 160!! Haha 😄

[@lcwpg]

why i bought a kia picanto back in 2019 over any perodua, short seat my thigh not on the seat its not comfy..suspension is bone breaking. interior is just am i back in the 80's and the driving experience is just well you have to be a person not like not care about cars to enjoy driving one saga is better in terms of many things..maybe not in fuel consumption but drives better feel better in my brief time driving one

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Agreed!! And it was definitely more fun in my ex Savvy than this 😄

[@gabriel_lim82]

A used e46 or equivalent conti would probably be cheaper to buy than this axia. But the maintenance remains..a conti. For someone who needs a cheap form of transport I guess the axia is as good as it gets. Like what u said, u get what u paid 😬😬😬

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Very true 👍🏽 Maintenence & running costs would be a fraction what a Conti would cost, not to mention insurance and road tax 😊

[@MaverickEchoJuliet]

The good ole' Axia would be nice to have as a reliable standby car when the used conti is spending too much time in the workshop or stranded tepi jalan LOL🤣🤣🤣

[@keataun352]

So ke30 much more solid than this? Hahaha. Between a manual axia used and an iriz , ill go for the iriz anytime.

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Very! No joke, it feels a lot more reassuring than this. Iriz is a better choice for sure 😄

[@fraud1366]

That system is aftermarket the standard one is just a regular radio with usb Also the armrest, spoiler etc are all also aftermarket and not stock

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Thanks for the feedback, good to know 😄👍🏽

[@truckman7123]

Since this Axia inspires nothing, the last gen Axia E manual would be a better buy with saving of 16k! Agree?

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Manual FTW!! Definitely 😄

[@LakshmananLM]

Yeah, the infernal hard plastics and the floaty nature of the car. It is definitely safer in traffic jams than the highway. It's the Windows RT and Intel Celeron of cars...

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

I was thinking more of a Commodore 64, hahaha 😆

[@sleepless3y3s]

1:05 - the Axia E spec is not sold exclusive to driving school. It's for anyone who want the cheapest Axia with nothing inside, doesn't mind the old design and a manual. I'm driving one - goes all the way to JB, Terengganu and even Genting, no issues

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Nice! Yeah, I known it's for sale to the public too, just saw one in Ipoh 😀

[@MaverickEchoJuliet]

You pronounced her name correctly😂 instead of Uck-Sia Resale value of the Axia is pretty good

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Cos it's already so cheap, can't really lose much, lol! 😄

[@incisor78]

​@@ChrisWeevilGarage 10 year old Axia G still selling at 50% of it's value. Also the seat backs are really super thin like condoms😂. If you put one finger from the front you can touch your other finger thru the back of the seat😂😂

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

@@incisor78 ah damn, I should have tried this!! Hahaha 😆 😂

[@fliedlice88]

One touch up power windows would need the anti-pinch sensors, whereas the one touch down is free 😂

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Ooh, true that! Well decuced bro 👍🏽😊

[@barry9838]

Axia g spec, g because it's made in germany. A lot in common with your e60 n e46 😂😅😅🙏

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Had to check my calendar if it was April 1st... what a joke!! Hahahahaha!! 🤣

[@clarencechiong5331]

Hi Chris, thanks for sharing. I'm new to your channel and enjoying the content. Is there any chance you can find a Ford Cortina Mark 1 with a Lotus Engine or a fully modified Datsun 510 in Malaysia?

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Welcome! Hope u enjoy the channel! Yes the cars u mentioned are available here, but very rare 😊

[@ngkwdaniel]

I am a height of 186cm, and I need to hunch myself to drive this car at a "secured" sitting position since there is no foot rest :( How are you not hunching your back? hahah

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Maybe I'm used to adapting to small cars fast, thanks to the ex Fiat 127, Charade and Kancil 850, haha!! 😄

[@muhammadal-qayyum758]

Axia is great, espcially when u wanna buy roadside durian, seller will sell u durian cheaper, if i brought my other car, defininetly potong leher harga, plus i dont have to care much about durian smell inside the car 😂

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

This rental smelled of that combined with ciggy smoke 🚬 😳 I nearly passed out, lol 😆

[@darknetsystem]

lol the only best thing about axia is its crazy fuel efficient. btw 5.44 i think thats for sd card, not simcard 😁

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Yeah, I meant SD, but said SIM! Weird. Hahaha 😆

[@banterdose650]

perodua spend more time on the road than any German car

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

So what? Still horrible to drive though, lol 😆

[@dayan234]

The latest model is not bad though, looks good too

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

The Axia Style? Yeah, looks alright 👍🏽 😊

[@khairulnazri4087]

The lastest g spec no rpm 😂

[@tmnta]

the 2023 X spec also does not come with RPM 😅

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Gosh! Wow, thanks for the feedback guys! 😀 👍🏽🙏🏽

[@MaverickEchoJuliet]

No need for a tachometer as the 😅motor boat sound from the 3-pot will indicate when one is nearing the red line
