The Perodua Kancil (also known as the Perodua Nippa in the United Kingdom, and the Daihatsu Ceria in Indonesia) is a small car manufactured by Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua (Malay for "Second Automobile Manufacturer") in Malaysia. It has been in production since 1994. The Kancil is named after the mousedeer (chevrotain) native to Malaysia.
The Kancil was Perodua's first car after its founding in 1993. It is a small five-door hatchback vehicle on a monocoque framework that could seat five people. The Kancil and its predecessors are actually a modified Daihatsu Mira through badge engineering. Badge engineering is prevalent in Malaysia's automotive industry since it began in 1985 with carmaker Proton. Subsequent Kancils were only rejuvenated cosmetically as Perodua maintained the monocoque structure and tweaked with its engines.
Following its release in 1994, the Kancil became an instant success in Malaysia. The Kancil is popular with beginner drivers and is commonly used in Malaysian driving schools. It was also preferable for its fuel efficiency and surprising roomy interior despite its size. In December 1995, Perodua produced its 50,000th Kancil. By January 1997, 100,000 Kancils had been manufactured, and by 1999 250,000 had been built.
The Kancil was sold in the United Kingdom as the Perodua Nippa, and Indonesia between 2000 and 2006 as the Daihatsu Ceria
I love it, mechanics hate it, lol.

Not Eastern Bloc, but doesn't mean not interested in eastern bloc, just don't own one myself at the mo. Hubbys old car was a Lada Riva Estate and his new car at the mo is a Skoda Felicia, which will be a shared car when he gets another car.
