i dunno about u... but, my fren keep on complaining her 7 yr old vios rattle like hell.... she cant take it anymore and thinking of changing her car asap... my 7.5 yr old hyundai still running strong 

How do you gauge quality with a 2 yr old car? If your car starts developing problems within the first 2 yrs, then its crap but if it doesnt then it doesnt mean its all good either. Parts usually start giving way after about 4 years or so. Even previous gen Spectra's generally didnt have problems within the 1st 2 yrs.

And by testing handling and braking, how does that gauge quality? Thats a totally different aspect.

You wanna know the meaning of quality come test drive my 2003 Vios. Despite being 8.5 yrs, the engine is still smooth, accelaration still good, no rattles anywhere in the car, the window/door seals are still in excellent conditon, suspension is still smooth with no squeeks, aircon still really strong and paintwork still shiny and nice.

Thats what i call QUALITY.

Year end car... u try ask around.. some marque year end car you get 20~25k discount....

A car which is originally priced at 92k and now giving discount as much as 9k is not ordinary year end discount. We are talking about 10% of the original car price!!
This is quite a hot selling car looking at the volume sold every month since Jan'11 and there is no reason to give out such huge discount. I suspect there want to clear stock and ready for the imminent launch of another sedan model which is priced close to Inspira.

err y not lolz...if car not yet arrive can cancel and get full refund...if arrive cancel get 80% back onli...

tuna, second thought, since u wan it to be 10k cheaper

why not go for sonata 2.0 high spec?

at rm13xk. the panaromic roof is.......speech less.

hmm, can mer? quite flexible.

bro, the car since june/july already giving 5k + 3 years free service.

3 years free service also near to rm3000-4000 already.

i would say, they were too optimistic on the sales forecast. you know la.

isn't that the promotion for 1.8 model?
unrealistic sales forecasting.

yea can do based on my experience la...but not sure if book at more than 1 branch duno HQ will burn the booking fee or not

no need to place 2 bookings
counter it by telling them if car unable to deliver within 3months,  give me more discounts.

i know...i'm asking for my bro..alrdy paid booking fee at 2 branches...duno will refund or not now

i would say, they were too optimistic on the sales forecast. you know la.

Normally this sort of discount is for outgoing model or those which not selling well isn't it?

It is Naza strategy la.. rip the money from hardcore fanboys 1st..
lt later on put on huge discount on past slow moving model..

Perhaps a sedan with turbo engine ?

in conjunction with m'sia mentality is to buy a car which has a higher sales value...
which one is better...?
put on huge discount on past slow moving model OR current fast moving model...?
turbo can use RON95 ? if yes maybe, if RON97, they better keep that car for use during endurance race only...

RON95 can be used with a turbo engine, why not? It's all a matter of factory tuning. All the Golfs, Passat CCs etc all can run on RON95 wat. Even the new Exora CFE can run on RON95. Not so powderful la, that's all...

will the engine be tuned by default to use low grade petrol, for new car coming to msia?

Of course, unless it's specified by the manufacturer that you must use RON97 or higher, like the Civic Type R running on factory tune. My fren went and detuned his CTR cos beh tahan the fuel price lol...

No offence bro but you're not the only one here who owns a Vios for 8+ years and it doesn't perform like what you said.

Well if u trash your car then dont expect it to last. Not sure if thats the case with your friend but ladies have the tendency to always run into potholes thus reducing the lifespan of the shock absorbers & tyres. Ive been always carefull with my car but its got about 178K mileage.

clear stock to reprice next batch inspira, new pricing strategy for the new sedan perhaps?

this K5 also got pana roof right.
rm10k treat it as investment for your car, which is a tool for you to have more opportunities... hee hee
