Buying Proton is a downgrade regardless of what of CC! And dont try to associate lancer with inspira. Just like china iphone with apple iphone. U mean everything else is MITSU? U wan me post campro picture?..There is no spirited driving in this car as vios can oso taopao inspira as claim by an inspira owner.

Explain why a stock carb blue sedan iswara got 3rd place in the recent CTA time attack sepang in Rx8 / FF Open category then ?

carb and super lightweight car, with mods....sure tapao those so called monsters car, but go on a highway run and the iswara will smell smoke only.............

spirited driving pedal-to-the-metal at highway choice, and ppl go and compare circuit racing with carb powered cars that have bloody awful NVH and only 2 airbags. quite some morons we have here.

suzuki swift sport, brand new manual gear with metallic paint, less than rm100k

u guys are so adamant about your views.

relax man. if u all got money good for you.
if you all can't afford a better car, don't talk as if other people don't have money okay

the ones that suggested TDCI or even 308T 6 SPEED would prolly understand where i am coming from.

like i said, i have other better things in life to focus on like property. i have that little spare cash i just want to use it on a car that i would like to enjoy driving. full stop.

don't tell me i need to take out money la this la that la.

this are all responses of the lazy, and the people that CANNOT solve simple queries.

in life, we work on a budget, whether it is on meals or on cars. don't tell me how i should spend my money.

my budget is 100k FULL STOP.  this is how i live my life, on a budget. some of you splurge on cars, some of you don't even have property. so don't talk as if buying a 200k car is as simple as it is. those who earn money and work for it knows the meaning of spending wisely.

you all talk as if money drop from the sky.

from the start i already mentioned so many keywords.

BE PRACTICAL.

if you want to tell me i got no money, or should up my budget, thank you very much but this is not the thread for you.

can we get back on topic?

Added on February 2, 2012, 6:39 pmactually i did decide between

clk
bmw ci
rx8
silvia s15
celica

was sooo tempting. but since i am planning it to be a daily car, it would be not so economical. and my peers are doing very well in life and we drive on-par cars. personally, sometimes we don't want to be a sore thumb.

so i want to get a normal , "sportier" looking car.
if i don't manage to get a car in the next 2 years, with a bigger paycheck

i'll aim for the sportage (new), stream rsx, maybe ft86 if it comes out, type r fd2r?

you mean have to drive like drunk man?

i suggest you close the thread and go test drive 1 by 1 that you listed... no point to ask people which one good... its your money your choice....
kia owner will tell you forte good
inspira owner tell you inspira good
308 owner tell you peugeot good
city owner tell you city good
how to decide?

you want to know what i have on my mind?

1. Upgrade to a Pug 308T 6 speed auto and pray that no problems come in like what everyone has faced in other threads.

2. Switch to an INSPIRA 2.0 and have it modded the way u like it. since it already has the lancer base, everything can be imported and looks just as sporty as the normal. bigger space also. but I QUESTION on whether moving from a "better quality honda city" to a "bigger spaced local made car"

3. PIMP THE CITY in which I've asked for responses before. mod the sound, the tyres and rims, maybe some interior etc.

4. KIA FORTE 2.0 with some light exterior adjustments

well, what dya think?
