But one thing for sure, they are fuel efficient, and are easy to maintain too. Some people say that these compact 4WD is a poor-man's 4WDs. I tend to agree. Heh3 ... ;)

Of course, today the Perodua Kembara & Nautica is still in production locally. Tapi I kurang minat sikit dengan model2 macam nih - not appealing to me as they don't look rugged or macho enough. Lagi pun Nautica only comes with automatic transmission. I guess I'm from the old school who still prefers the manual transmission cars.
Model Suzuki Vitara kira ok lah jugak, especialy if you are into light off-road activities. It's x suitable for hardcore off-roads ;)

Toyota Rush (twins of Nautica) pulak sebenarnya not a real pacuan empat roda, eventhough it may look like one. But I have to say that I like Rush's high ground clearance - as compared to other cars / SUVs. Kalau setakat ketulan kayu / batu kecik tu dia senyum jer ! Tak payah nak brek atau slow down tak tentu pasal.


I wish Malaysian govt can relax a bit on their import policies of foreign cars, especially for this small compact 4WD category ... I heard that kat Singapore, they still produce new models for Jimny (of course with some minor touch-up here and there - to justify the new price tag !) ... wishful thinking !

Salam.. memang kena la bro, walaupun kereta small/mini 4x4 ni untuk poor-man's 4wds tapi bukan semua orang kayap2 boleh beli hilux dmax, ke apa terutama yg dok kampung atau mcm sy yang terus2 nak beli kereta 4wd besar gedabak. P1/P2 x mau ke buat kereta tempatan yang ada solid 4x4, road tax murah, fuel consumption pun murah di poket.
