There will always be people who will rather buy low end toyota and honda even if they have to eat maggi everyday for the next 9 years.

I am surprise why pol still buy vios now? The build quality has gone down so much. I have a 04 vios and stii good but my friend one only 1 year plus absorber koyak oledi. Some more if I drive >120, the car macam mau terbang.

I will still choose a non-national car, coz I know it should be cheaper but it's not coz' we are feeding the cronies as well.
Of course I pay more in tax and excise duties for the non-national car but at least some of the excess I pay will get back to me in terms of infrastructure and subsidies.

in the long run some people will still choose either city or vios... not as rich as you guys playing in the C segment range...
FC, maintenance, road tax, tyres, as all definitely higher than B segment... and also not easy to beat the resale value of T and H...

anyway... if rumours are correct... first 1000-2000 units are cbus... after that when local parts comes into play... there starts the headache of parts failing one by one... let's hope they legacy power window failure is solve... if rebadge still having this problem... then i seriously have nothing to say

consumers always have a choice

No worry man. Go ahead to change to 17 coz MIT lancer also 17". Unless you use it for sales, else not much diff. Important is you feel good.

mit lancer not use 18" meh?

Nowadays, resale value is about the same unless you sell lousy cars like spectra. I just bought a 2.5 years accord 2.0. Guess how much? 90k

Agree that maintaining vios is cheap but when you drive, it doesn't give you the umph feeling. Some more, if drive >120, the car act like boat.

every rim mean to be replace

I don't think any of the units will be CBU Quite impossible as the interior is probably changed (that's why the proton in the trailer is still hidden, don't want to show the interior), we know at least the front bumper has changed, the rims are changed.... Technically speaking, cannot qualify as CBU?

those who ordered, bless that you're getting the direct import from japan units.

wanted to order one, but tight on budget.

join the club someday next year

depreciation is at it's max if sold less than 3 years mar

tell you lar... umph with as japanese cars is almost non-existing, skyline maybe lar... but in general... don't think you can find...

you want umph... test the golf gti
i tested it a few months back and i was like... shit... i must have that! then my wife tambah garam...
"you got 2 choices... buy golf now or buy vios, drive a few years then change to golf!"
not to say i cannot buy now, but no point lar if it involves selling of my investment condo and buy golf with cash...

to me, and it's just me... paying 80k for a local car is... wow... i think only rich people can afford to do that

2.5. Years accord in mudah still 110k. New model or previous facelift? Old model suffer when new model came out

mudah u can easily nego 10% when u buy the car.

You sure?!

Eh bruda.. 1318kg is not almost 2 tonnes, OK!

but GTi pawn FD2R in torque and power delivery...
FD2R need to work the engine very hard to archive that output, while GTi , already can feel the power even at low rev
