I have a Viva Elite Manual 1000cc bought in early Nov 2010... clocked 18000 km now...
much delighted with overall performance. good driving position.
I'm 6' 1" tall but no worries on leg space both in front n back
though ground clearance is 14.5 cm, it does not give trouble in humps... i think people feel its low due to the body kit.. but practically not bad as they think.
was a bit worried about 2nd hand market n availability of spares when ordered it last year.. but now over 4000 viva elites sold n i feel lot better.. has done 10k & 15k services... since its Daihatsu EJ-VE engine, VIC oil filter C-933 fit in absolutely. but VIC Air filters wont fit in as i ckecked. (But in UN_MO service parts prices r ok.. 1990/- for air filter.. wil b replacing in my next service.
howevr i too noticed rear door issue..
i agree.. a gud n reliable car.
