Calvin,
yes, we all know it is economical .. provided it is in healthy condition.
just look at car battery or laptop battery. It really depends on luck sometimes..
i have used a branded car battery before.. but lasted me 18 months only..
while i use a lousy brand before but lasted me 3 years!!
and with our local temperature which goes cold and hot .. which is the worse condition for batteries. You can hardly know how long it last .. if you are unlucky, u end up fork out more then u wish to
.. its a gamble i would says.
i would gamble on something more solid .. yea .. we know petrol price will go up .. but i do put my gamble on them .. coz in malaysia there are still a lot of poor ppl whom needs transport.. no matter how, the G will subsidise the petrol bcoz if they increase too much .. ppl will makes a lot of noise especially those poor one
there are a lot ppl earn very less
Yes I do agreed theres a lot of people rely on transports. But the government will end the sub soon or later just like any other gov unless you in middle east country where they have endless oil (end soon). Do Malaysia gov really care about the poor people? I dont know because I never live there as an adult but soon find out.
Talk about cold and hot in Malaysia is no match to the Western country is there? My Prius battery survived -10c to 30c all year round since 2006 after 216000 km and it still running like gold. Yes some battery do die early I must admitted that, but it will depend on how the local dealers or franchises. In this case Honda Malaysia is F*** up customer service. If this happend in the UK then Honda will never sell car here again. Honda & Toyota get the top customer service in the Western country. People who manage this brands in Malaysia should work on their customer service & they really want to sell Hybrid there, they should give customer at least 5 yrs warranty on the battery no 3 yrs.
Do some study in the EU petrol price. Same thing, people dont believe in hybrid when it first launched in 99-00.
Now you dont lose any money on hybrid secondhand market especially petrol cost £1.36 (RM6.6) a litre.
Electric car is the next big thing in the west. Same evolution again started "people dont believe in electric car"
Sadly Malaysia motoring still 10 yrs behind. Because the gov still hugging the crapy old Proton.
