10,000 miles

1st Service

Milage 9725.

1st service completed this morning by my local garage BB Motors, who have looked after my cars for several years. Service completed using Perodua service sheet, oil filter change (genuine Perodua part), service book stamped, and warranty maintained. Problems, nil.

More Purchase options

Some new variants available, Myvi SE and Myvi Sport (pictured below).

swiftcover.com - not in a Perodua

My car insurance was due this week, and although my Co-operative Insurance renewal quote was reasonable I still checked some of the alternatives.

Swiftcover seem to be spending a lot of money on their Iggy Pop advertising campaign, so I thought I would see how much they charged. I entered my details and their website replied that they were unable to give me a quote!

I found this odd, I would have thought I was an ideal person to insure, never had an endorsement, standard car, maximum no-claims, never caused a claim, etc. So after three emails Swiftcover replied:

"Dear Mr Barker,

Thank you for your e-mail.

At present, we do not offer cover on any model of Perodua vehicle.
Therefore, we cannot offer you insurance.


Kind Regards

So because there are not many Peroduas about they have not listed them on their system - their loss, I have always been happy with the Co-operative Insurance anyway.
