Lai Lai Time For A Change, How About We Wait For 2011 KIA OPTIMA Turbo & Compare This With FORD MONDEO Ecoboost.
2011 KIA OPTIMA Turbo vs. FORD MONDEO Ecoboost 0-100KM (Seconds) 2011 KIA OPTIMA Turbo - 6.5 Seconds! Amazing! FORD MONDEO Ecoboost - 7.9 Seconds! Cool! Btw, 2011 KIA OPTIMA Turbo Has A Very Similar Engine To V8! This post has been edited by DesmondMiles: Nov 29 2011, 07:28 PM |

QUOTE(rcracer @ Nov 29 2011, 08:03 PM) Kia already said they WILL NOT BRING IN good engines because of so-call 'Fuel Quality BS excuse' O.o really?Mondeo can bring the latest greatest EcoBoost, but KIA cannot Kia like to treat malaysian like idiot, malaysian like being treated like idiot also But they had older versions of optima here. The new optima comes in 3 version, hybrid, normal, and turbo. I dont think they will be so evil to not bring any one of those hehe. Anyway kia mantainance is expensive.. So best still go for mondeo This post has been edited by DesmondMiles: Nov 30 2011, 11:22 AM |

Some Car Prices Might Be Going Up Next Year. FORD MONDEO Price Comfirmed By Salesman That It Will Be Increased Around 7-12% For Next Year's Batch And The Car Will Be 99-100% Same As This Year's Batch. (Navigation Unit Package Might Come In As Optional)
BTW so sorry to tell you guys that this year's batch of FORD MONDEO has left a few units. According to the salesman - Johor, Pinang and a few other states have sold out all their Mondeo's and Some are not even displaying it in their showroom after a few weeks of displaying. As far as i know, 2 Days Ago KL Has Left Less Than 10 Units Of Mondeo. Yesterday Noon, I went to showroom again, Mondeo's in KL Only Left 3 Units. 1 Silver, 2 Black. And Salesman Say Silver Might Have Been Sold Out - That Lefts 2 Black In Whole KL For Sale! And This Is Also Because Customers That Booked Cant Get Loan So Cancel Their Booking. The Engine Is Powerful! Test Drive Liao! Sound Prooving Quite Good Even Trottle Hard! But Peugeot Salesman say FORD Doesnt have its own service center. he says they give license to other center to do the job. therefor not professional enug. i dunno whether this is true. Passat Design not very nice. Do Not Confuse Passat CC & Passat. Their Both On Different Classes Liao. Passat CC Around 260k Passat around 180k and their design are not the same. Of couse Passat CC is better and more stylish. Toyota Camry comfirm launching new one next year between jun-dec according to a toyota salesman. And Im Not Sure Bout This But Peugoet Salesman says ALL PEUGOET Cars & MPVs are Using The SAME ENGINE. Even u buy the 5008, 508, 308, 3008, the sporty one (forgot name) all using same engine. 1.6 Turbo (Feels Like 2.2) Didnt manage to test drive 508 cause car will be in Puchong Showroom 10+ December For A Limited Days. Sorry Topic Mess Up cause its late and im just dumping all i can recall on sat and sun |

QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Dec 5 2011, 10:19 PM) You really believe that salesman crap talk that the Mondeo has no stock cuz its selling so well ah? Common la bro. Open your eyes. How many Mondeo's do you see in the Klang Valley? So far ive only seen 3 and i drive around alot. That car is doing very badly. The only Ford doing well in Malaysia is the Fiesta. Ive seen much more Porsche's than the Mondeo for sure. Yea I Only Seen One So Far On The Road. Its Under Populated. Ford Doesnt does any advertisement on Mondeo (Maybe i miss them) But So Far I Dont See Any. The Previous Mondeo was not using ECOBOOST Technology Thats Why It Doesnt Get Attention. Price was same with a 2.3 Engine. Who Would Want It? Just Another High Mantainance Executive Continental Car. If that salesman says that 'its very easy to sell' then ask him to show you all the sales he has recorded in the last 1 year. Also ask him to show you how many sales his branch recorded. See if he dares to show! Mondeo not even among Top 50 models in Malaysia. Dont be a fool. Salesmen will always feed rubbish to those who are willing to accept it. Or on hindsight, are you a Ford salesman yourself feeding us rubbish? The Star have compared a few executive cars and rated Mondeo The Best Value For Money Car. Fiesta Is A Compact Car.. Many People are interested in it. Its A good car for a moderate income family. But i dont like its design though. Anyway In Performance You Go Find Me A Car With Almost The Same Specs With Almost The Same Price... I Booked A Ford Car, So You Think Im A Ford Salesman? Think Before Insulting! Added on December 6, 2011, 1:53 am QUOTE(stimix @ Oct 23 2011, 01:01 PM) Actually Camry Resale Value Might Drop Because Many People Are Using Camry Now. Accord i not sure lar..Saw Camry 2.4 111,100 4 Years Old. Still Quite High Price But Thats After Going Thru Dealer. Maybe they buy from you 90-100k. And + New Camry Model Coming Out... Resale Value Sure Further Decrease Next Year. But if compared to continental cars, they still win lor :| Still Confused Whether to cancel booking and take next years model or just hang on to booking: - If take this year's batch On Road Price Around 180k. But Resale Value Drop As its considered 1 year old car by next year. - If take next year's batch, Price Comfirm Increase @ 7-12%. Some Say Next Year 200K+ But Car Counted As Brand New... Need Advices. This post has been edited by DesmondMiles: Dec 6 2011, 01:53 AM |

QUOTE(kadajawi @ Dec 6 2011, 02:24 AM) Value for money in the UK doesn't count s... in Malaysia. Lol, sorry to insult but i don't think a normal Ford Salesman can afford a Mondeo Don't think I have seen one in JB either... Of course Ford salesmen shouldn't be driving a Toyota, lol. I don't think you should really care about resale value... how much better can it be when you buy the 2012 model and have to pay 20k more? You think you can get 20k more after a few years? However, if it gets better equipment, such as the satnav (which, as I mentioned before, rocks (used it in the Galaxy. The display was IMHO a bit too dark there though). However the VW has a 30 GB HDD for your music, which is also quite neat. Of course I don't know how good the maps they have for Malaysia are, and how they will update it (and at what cost)), theeeeeen it might be worth it. Just. The salesman say next year batch MIGHT include a navigation unit as optional. Cause the current one is the basic model without any modifications import fully from Belgium. But anyway nt gonna get it. Might as well buy a good gps VW passat design looks outdated. Performance less price slightly higher, so i dun think I'll take that. But inside is nicer lar |

Do u still believe that Mondeo sales are sooo good? For your info, only 6 Mondeo's were sold in Sept and only 56 in total so far this year. Does that sound like a great sales record for you? Even Porsche sold more Cayenne's than the Mondeo and that's a luxury car. Ecoboost or not, Mondeo's dont appeal here in Malaysia. Looks good in pics but not in reality especially the rear. Surely not a head turner. But Performance For That Price Is Amazing. Passat CC Is One Nice Car With About The Same Specs @ 90k Higher.Take these stats and go see your salesman and see what he has to say bout his sales record. How i hate these lying salesmen! The Star may have done a review but ive yet a read a poor review on the Peugeot 508. Ive read some poor reviews bout the Passat 1.8. Its even ranked among the Top 10 most disappointing cars of 2011 along with the 2012 Honda Civic. Ford Itself has a low publicity in Malaysia, So Nothing To Say... Check The Booking List Yesterday, I would say 85% Booked Ford Fiesta, 5% Ford Focus, 10% S-max. Anyway cancelled by booking as i could get a better rebate @ Melaka. But Also looking @ Other Options While Im Not Committed In Any Purchases Yet. So Which Car Did You Get? 508? Peugeot is still using an older technology for turbo compared to Ecoboost, so not very sure whether to go for it. |

QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Dec 12 2011, 07:33 PM) I suddenly started looking at the Audi A4 1.8TFSI today. Price is approx RM 240K (OTR with insurance). Not sure if it would be worth the extra 70K over the 508. Have you take a look at the Passat CC? Nice Design Around That Price Range.. http://www.audi.com.my/sea/brand/my/models/a4/a4_saloon.html A4 Looks a bit odd |

Anyway Passat CC design is really nice... 15k More you get a much better looking car.. I didn't go to see the audi A4 though.. So i dunno it's interior.. QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Dec 16 2011, 07:48 PM) We were refering to the Passat CC not the 1.8TSI. The TSI is pretty ugly and looks outdated. Specs wise it looses heavily to the Peugeot 508. The only thing going for it is the DSG and engine. I dont think we're gonna see much of it on the road. International reviews dont rate the 1.8TSI highly. I see 4 White Passat CC on my short journey to VW Showroom In Glenmarie.. Hadnt seen any Passat On The Road Yet.. |
