seriously...I would get volvo without thinking...specs are better than BMW...built quality is better imo than BMW 3 series...I'd get V60 T5

Yes the V60 has come a long way from V50. The built in electronic safety features built into this machine is 2nd to none. Checkout Youtube for Volvo S60/V60 safety features and you will be amazed... at least I was!

Yes, people complain about the high prices of parts etc... but Volvo is offering Free maintenance for 5 years - including parts!

Imagine, you're on the way to Penang, and your car broke down in the middle of the highway. Call the Volvo roadside rescue and they will come to you - either give you a loan car so that you can continue your journey, or book a hotel for you if the need arises!

I'm officially a Volvo promoter!! haha

Volvo Launches Best-in-Class Coverage Plan
01/08/2012
5 year warranty, 5 years service and 5 years Volvo On Call for new Volvo customers

In its continued efforts to create value and provide a total luxury car ownership experience for its customers, Volvo Car Malaysia has launched an all new best-in-class coverage plan comprising a complementary five year warranty, five years service as well as five years Volvo On Call service.

The “5+5+5” offer is valid for all Volvo models manufactured in 2011 and purchased via its authorised distributor, Federal Auto Cars.

Volvo’s new “5+5+5” best-in-class coverage will provide Volvo car owners with peace of mind as well as the assurance of a worry-free driving experience.

This initiative is testament to the new Volvo philosophy “designed around you”, which is centered around understanding people and giving them a luxury experience that is a little more human-oriented, while at the same time anchored firmly on the Volvo heritage of building safe and dependable cars.

Volvo recommends regular scheduled maintenance service checks performed by authorised dealers to ensure trouble free driving experiences. However, should the need arise, Volvo On Call with onboard GPS technology is at hand to offer roadside emergency assistance and remote door unlocking. In the event of attempted break-ins, Volvo On Call Customer Service will be automatically alerted. The five year maintenance program also covers the first eight scheduled services at no charge.

For more information, please refer to your nearest authorised dealer. Terms and conditions apply.

Honda did publish their MM2H price openly. not sure if this price is same as REP?

i see. i am still undecided on what car to get yet and next year there will be a lot of new models i hope

do they give year end discount for REP as well? Since the car needs to be ordered instead of year end model?

I am waiting for new Honda Accord or CRV 2013 model coz i dont think they are giving discount for REP.

If that is so then, i might consider it!

Yes. But depends on dealer.

if given tax exemption...why still go for honda??

Not all car make are CKD. Aside from Honda, Toyota and Volvo, others have only have handful of models to choose.

true...does BMW or Merc SKD fall within the category? They've changed the rules I think, my mum's beautician got a Merc C200 for 150k new through MM2H programme....
