It is 100% better to drive fast than any stock Perodua Myvi SE which sells for RM52,000. It is also better than actually spending an extra RM13,000+ on a basic Toyota Vios J with an auto box. Don't mention the Saga. That is just a form of transport slightly better than buying a Datsun Sunny.
It is the best handling extremely affordable 4 door sedan on the market. There are some issues of course. Wait for a full write up soon.
But, while testing a brand new car (the Persona was two weeks old) , I thoroughly enjoyed hustling this 20 year old car around.
Of course this wasn't the first time I've had the opportunity to do so in this car but this time, I was driving it for most of the day (swapping driving duties with the owner) as we scouted for parts shops, number plates, paint shops for the car and food for us throughout Klang Valley. I also really pushed it hard through a few corners, like the Jalan Semantan left hander down into Jalan Duta at around 80km/h.........and it was....something worth writing in detail about.
After driving a two week old car and a twenty year old car in the same day the conclusion is utterly surprising. I will also be writing about this and the cornering experience in both cars soon!

"It is the best handling extremely affordable 4 door sedan on the market" - thats a major statement!
190E? If only we could get a pretty decent example of the Cosworth 2.5 version in Malaysia :/.
hahaha...well I do have a day job too you know.
The older car is a W124 200E ...not a cosworth 190e unfortunately. But look what a set of rims can make an unclemobile look like if you take a photo in such a way.
As for a 190e, there are decent examples, usually RM35k-45k for one. They surface occasionally.
