Buyers looking for a small, cheap car have plenty of choice these days. But one manufacturer is failing to reg­ister on the public radar: Perodua.Even though it has the distinction of selling the UK’s cheapest model, in the shape of the £4,792 Kelisa, the Malaysian brand hasn’t made any impact here. Can the new Myvi do better?It’s essentially a rebadged Daihatsu Sirion, and comes with an 86bhp 1.3-litre petrol engine. And at £7,799, it also represents a saving of more than £300 over its sister car.Other than a revised bonnet with extra detailing and Perodua badges, the Myvi is identical to the Daihastu. And that’s no bad thing. It’s similar in size to Nissan’s Micra, but looks bigger due to its MPV-style tall roof. The short nose is ideal when squeezing into tight spaces, with the near-vertical back screen making reversing easier.It feels very grown-up inside. Not only is the cabin practical, with an array of cubbies and cup-holders, but it looks good. The centre console is clearly laid-out, with the instrument binnacle featuring red-backed dials.
