if u like diesel, buy a diesel engined car, if u like hybrid, buy a hybrid engined car, which one is better? of course, the one u like lah. u wont say your choice of car is bad over another man's pick.
as long as u and me happy with our wallets, end story.
it'll be endless, if we compare to cost, whenever one party said it has the lowest cost per km, the other party would say, that it come at the expense of power,torque bla bla,
if the party under fire said, well, my car do run cheap and have higher torque, then they'll fire another salvo saying your car dont have higher horsepower lah bla bla bla.
then, after all else fails, blame the hybrid battery cost..aiyah, its almost the same cost with you upgrading your rims and ICE.
in the end, what have we concluded? diesel are more superior than petrol? hybrid sucks, turbodiesel won?
can we just discuss and focus on the pros and cons of our ride. others will be well informed too.
Added on October 6, 2011, 1:04 pmin my OPINION,
we own cars based on our budget. there is no right and wrong over our choosing, you and me sir. there is nothing bad about diesel or petrol or vege oil or NGV. No one likes to be critised anyway..especially over our rides, because we love our ride, you and me sir.
during my younger days, i have own several national and non-national cars, i modded the cars to gain extra oomph and satisfaction..most people does.
but how does all this modification benefit me in the long run, i have failed to see. yes i can drive fast to high heavens, i can brake the car in the shortest distance, but then, how fast can we drive in our road or highways, u can reached 180-190km/h but for how long, there will always be a time when a late-turning car who will eventually cut into our lane, and then we will have to slow down and accelerate again. rage ensues. we sit at traffic light, and when we try to accelerate past another car, the other car will pressed his throttle hard, adamant to not let u pass his car (because his car is powerful than yours), and u retaliate back, rage ensues.
nowadays, there are a lot of cars on the road, traffic volume in puchong was 40,000 in 2004 but multiquadrapled to 440,000 in 2010. this literally means that our roads are choked with cars, in other words, there will be plenty of cars and a lot less space for us to 'enjoy' our car. we will be cramped bumper to bumper, side by side, just to move forward to get to our destination. in the process, we burn more fuel. just look at during festive holidays, our NSE are clogged to the max with cars. everyone burns fuel. for nothing.
we need to use less fuel, which will translate to less cost to u and me. we also need to care for the environment. i believe, hybrid cars are good technology that will help towards reducing emission and lowering our crave for fuel. BMW and AUDI have also starts putting motor electric on their cars. well, these are not bench markers but the trend is slowly going towards this direction. the cars have changed, we also need to change.
there are other technology still in development, like hydrogen fuel cell car (Honda Clarity), and other mumbo jumbo high tech stuff which is still beyond our reach (even if it does, we will always criticize it down to its manufacturing process because we don't like to change to new technology),
nonetheless there are also other technology that helps to reduce fuel consumption, like VTG, common rail turbo diesel, REEV, EV.
as i said, there is nothing wrong with our choosing. i chose a hybrid car and happy with my decision, and pretty much impressed about its efficiency, and the manner which it recycles energy and conserved them and cutting down consumption whenever we don't need it (like auto-stop function).
please stop giving a bad reputation over something, just because there is one bad apple on the farm. yes, the battery of the writer's hybrid fails. a replacement is being offered and why we need to bury a wonderful technology (hybrid) that is so wonderful millions of people around the world loves it.
would u still be driving your high powered torque and high powered engine car through a traffic jam in the future. don't u want to try something different?
regards.
