bro kancheong, can give me detail about standard fc gen2 n coupe... thanks

The FC of Hyundai Coupe is real real bad.. Full tank gives around less than 300km i would say.

Why would you want to get a FF sports coupe, with underpowered + high FC engine? The handling is not that good tho..

Bro
check proton's web site for the official figures. Shud be about 10-20% less. FC figures depends on how hard you press the pedal so it really varies a lot.
Check out this forum for some users' FC.
As for the coupe, besides your powerful right foot , the condition of the engine, gear box etc adds up to the FC. Ask uncle google for some figures. Pre 2006 hyundai/kia cars are known for their high fc. I know of someone who told me the fc is quite high for a 1.8mt car but that is his right foot talking.

haha~! thanks bro

Yeah, I am taking a mid to long term view.

I think the problem is I haven't been offered many freebies and discounts yet.

Need to bargain some more I suppose.

normal FC for gen2 1.6 manual are 5.8-6.2liter per 100km highway driving & 6.8-7.2liter per 100km city driving.. get 2005 batch or above for better FC but lesser power output than 2004 batch (due to ecu)..

HI. Just want to ask. With salary around 1800 after EPF deduction, is it okay to own a car? Viva maybe?

2. Budget : AS LOW AS POSSIBLE
3. New/Used/Unreg : USED OR NEW ?
4. Specs : WATEVER
5. Type : 4 seater.
6. Salary : 1.9k (unmarried)

1.Brand : ANY CAR
2. Budget : Loan with 150 to 200 per month
3. New/Used/Unreg : USED OR NEW ?
4. Specs : WATEVER, but prefer with low fuel consumption
5. Type : 4 seater.
6. Salary : 2.2k (basic)

The exact match with my requirment is Iswara LMST(used) but dunno it's reliable or not. Like to get a Viva or Myvi but the minimum monthly payment is around 300-500 . I've been inform car that more than 10 years cannot loan anymore? Even approved the interest is very2 high one? Need suggestion.

1) brand- nissan/mazda
2) budget- under RM200k
3) type- sport car of 2 seaters
4) milleage- under 30k km

i have considered to get a mazda, but mazda rx7 comes with low horse power. Currently, my main selection is nissan 350z for 190k after supercharged in kuching and to be used in sibu. but the roads in sibu is extremely bumpy, i am scared of the body kits will be damaged by the roads.
Any suggestions?

Apologies for late reply, was feeling under the weather recently.

Hmm unless if u wanna pay cash or taking loan, as u wont able to get loan for the coupe but its possible to apply loan for the gen2. Since u looking for a sporty ride, i would look for the used satria and mod like there no tmr.

Hmm by right one year old car will lost approx 15% of its price. However there is no used units so cant tell u that.

U have plenty of options for 2.0cc saloon cars like the upcoming forte 2.0, honda civic 2.0 and honda accord 2.0. If resale value and reliability is a concern then pick the sylphy. Btw the sonata should be phrase out as the new sonata is out in Korea this year.

Yes u can. Maybe go for a 7 year loan and u can afford a viva easily. Be sure ur loan do not go above 600 per month.

I rather scrap all the 3 choices and go for a used myvi or new saga BLM with such salary.

U gonna be kidding me, there is no way u can get monthy loan payment of 100-200 per month. But seeing ur basic salary is okay actually u can go up to 550-600 per month. With that say for 7 year loan u can afford a saga BLM. But seriously would advise u to top up some money since u need to pay 10% of the car price for downpayment.

Looking for sports car ya?

I rather look for unmodified units of 350z rather than the supercharged version and avoid the bodykit since u mentioned the roads is sibu are bad enough. Other alternatives to consider is the honda integra type R as well.

want power? go for BNR34.. Lots of mod available, it's an inline straight 6.
No point doing supercharge/turbocharge on 350z, best to keep it as NA if you don't want any trouble..
RX7 comes with low horse power?? You must be know nothing about the Rotaries... With a simply mod, the RX7 can make massive of horse already

Plenty of choices lorrr with that much of $$

Yes i can get used car with loan, 150 monthly payment. It is either Iswara LMST or Kelisa both 2003-2005 model. Therefore need adivise regarding those choices. Btw i like Mazda Astina but too bad cannot take bank loan for that car. The way i want 200per month bcoz i need to save at least 1k per month for my marriage next year . I don't want my expenses to exceed 1k.

1. Brand : MR2 / Any car like MR2
2. Budget : 60k - no need loan
3. New/Used/Unreg : USED
4. Specs : Turbo Of coz.
5. Type : 2 seater.
6. salary : 2k++

Anybody could give comments on the maintainence for over 10yrs old MR2?


my 2nd choice buy home.. which one is better?

MR2.. yum yum.. u've come to the right place and asked at the right guy.. hahaha

MR2, no need 60k so much, but depends on the modification done on that MR2 lor... 60k u can get a nicely mod and widebody-kitted MR2 already..

for around RM45k+-, you can get a 1996 model +... Personally i will only go for the Turbo version (3S-GTE), no NA for me..

Maintenance wise for MR2 is easy, there's few reputable workshop which is famous for they reputation on MR2.

You can always refer to me...

Considering getting a second hand vios or city for my wife.

Need advice and opinions

2005 facelift city Vtec/IDSI
2005 vios G/E

2004 city Vtec/IDSI
2004 vios G/E

Which to go for? what is the price range for 2nd hand for the above models? Which is a best choice u think?

I personnally prefer the Facelifted vtec city 2005 and price cheapest is RM59000.

just need more expert advice to support!

Which one is better in your opinion, Viva Basic (26k with almost nothing) or second hand Kelisa (~year 2005, around 26k)?

Actually I don't save so much as my living cost quite high.

Hmm if u can get such loan then why not, although i have doubts such loan is obtainable.

For that choice seeing u will have ur own family soon a iswara LMST is more favorable due that it has a bigger boot but the kelisa is much economical to maintain.

I like the SW20 MR2. I think it should be no prob but be vary as the next few years u wont be getting parts from chop shops, but there always another way to source for parts.

Other alternatives including the MX5 (hard to find) and the integra DC2. But putting ur house into consideration, actually u should get the house at highest priority

I believe u can get a used city & vios for 04-05 model approx 50-55k range, but try negotiate to less than 50k and u get a good bargain.

The facelifted city vtec is okay for 59k but as always, try bargain lower, say 56k?

It’s likely Mitsubishi will provide the Lancer to Proton, to replace the Waja (Impian in UK). Rumour has it that the vehicle would pretty much be a Lancer with only minor changes to the design.

I think better go for a used kelisa. It is better equipped than the kosong viva. Not to mention its very economical and fun to drive too.
