Like the VW polo or Golf, they enjoy flat rate import duty 30% and local taxes 75% which is the lowest since their engine capacity is small.

Yet they sell their car high like bigger capacity engine which have 105% tax.

anyway vios only got taxed with 75% + 10% sales tax but they sell their vois J at 73k..

They have been doing this all this while because of they can sell high price and people eventually will still demand for import cars.  Can blame proton lack of competitive with foreign car makers. 

That is why i said if P3-21A made an impact in local markets, foreign car maker will lower their car price. They have alot of margins to begin with.

actually, before AFTA, proton got a 50% rebate on the 75% tax by gomen, but not anymore, but anyway, the foreign car makers are profitting from the myth of the 300% car tax to justify their car price

you rather facing small problem time to time?

or you prefer no need repair anything for long time.
Also safety is most important. A friend of mine crash into tree. Front totally damaged. But his myvi air bag didn't even come out. Resulting his chest and some rib broken.

well that is p2 quality for you laugh.gif

ok i agree on the part of maintenance fee are cheap.

but it's not about reckless. Accident are unpredictable even you drive slow. Other car also will come and hit you.

The main point is what is the airbag for if it doesn't work?

ok if you buy a new proton, just bang your car to a pole or something to check it
