QUOTE(jonas.hoh @ Mar 10 2012, 10:49 PM) as far as i can say toyota has reliability even if it has 7 years and they don't depreciate as much. I don't intend to mod the car, perhaps keeping it to factory condition. If i were to own altis i'd consider having it for a longer period of time. well of course i know the risk of having a second hand car, but those can be settled by cautious observation as well as sending to mechanic to check. if you do not intend to mod that car and plan to keep it as stock as possible, I'm suggesting you to go for persona. new car, got free service from Proton. Old car no matter BMW Ferrari or what, you still have to touch up quite a lot of wear and tear parts.. Timing belts, suspension, overhaul perhaps, bla bla bla too many for me to writefor persona, i do know that proton has improved quite a lot comparing to previous designs but i highly doubt it would last long. even though the quality is somewhat okay for me. But then again it is a new car we're talking about so the indecisiveness kicks in  |

QUOTE(jonas.hoh @ Mar 10 2012, 10:58 PM) what kind of modifications do you suggest? those that i mentioned to touch up are actually in mod list.. lol.. for eg: suspension, you'd go for high low soft hard adjustable perhaps.. if you plan to mod that car, of coz you want your car to be in top form condition riteAdded on March 10, 2012, 11:01 pm so that means even if i plan to mod the car i'd have to touch up a lot right?

QUOTE(iSpace @ Mar 11 2012, 02:19 PM) Old altis kinda ugly plus its old car. old altis kinda ugly? you haven't seen those with pretty bodykits with good sport rims many unknown things happened to the car and you will never know. Better go for new persona. even its Proton. but comparing these 2. Persona wins. Why not go for J Vios like me. New car.. kinda cheap.. petrol consumption low.. 2nd value high... unless you want drive the car more than 7years then..  Btw, which spec wise does persona wins an Altis? |

QUOTE(Jazz6218 @ Mar 11 2012, 06:28 PM) becoz TS is tight on budget? which comment or post of him saying that he's tight on budget?becoz altis maintenance is high?if any major breakdown can he afford to repair it? but still his money his choice Added on March 11, 2012, 7:02 pm QUOTE(jonas.hoh @ Mar 10 2012, 11:54 PM) has anyone own an altis before? i want to know it terms of build quality, ride comfort as well as NVH. i am not really worried about maintenance as i am a mechanical engineer myself. so i do know about those things to a certain extent. just more concerned about the worth(as in the feeling of a good car) at the end of the day.

QUOTE(iSpace @ Mar 11 2012, 09:24 PM) Im comparing both stock. If u said about bodykits. A 20 years car honda delso with bodykits looks hundred times better than your modified altis lol.. if you are comparing stock, then it's very subjective according to individuals.. Some fella thinks that Peugeut looks great, but I feel it's fugly (especially Peugeut 207) no offense to owners here.. hahahahaha.. you think that persona wins, i feel that altis looks better.. no one's wrong  |
