About the guy clipping and damaging your PC mirror doing a U-turn....

What do you do if this happens? What did you do? Report it to police? Did the guy pay you?
Crazy drivers.....hate it when they double park on tight road like in Bangsar village and you clip their mirror and your mirror bends back. Luckily no damage to mine so far.

Congrats and welcome. A few months back you start a topic asking for recommendation below RM100k ( http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2371100/all ), there are some flame there. What let you make up your mind on PC?  biggrin.gif

I tried lots of cars in the class/price range. Prius C felt right. Here's my thinking:

Ford Fiesta - nice exterior look, nice comfy seats. Good size engine and a good ride. Inside boring/nothing special.

Kia Forte - packed with gadgets. Liked the big 2.0 engine but maybe too powerful for city driving (for me). Thought things not so well designed/put together. Design looked nice a couple of years ago-not so sure now. Worried big time about poor resale value.

Honda Jazz - Liked it a lot. But masses of space and huge windows - pro's and con's! Inside nice but dash nothing special and no GPS module available. Engine 1.3 was not huge. Did not feel great when test drove around bends in road. Over time felt my thought change- was too plain, not enough gadgets -but does have good safety features. its the best selling car for pensioners in parts of Europe - a big put off!

Honda Insight - hated it first time. Sales person also tried to put me off and go for Jazz Hybrid. Second time trying it i liked it. Nice drive. liked the boot size, small. Bit big and clumsy and lacking special features and gadgets. Only 2 air bags! Seen them around lots and nothing special.

Suzuki swift. Love the outside. Inside terrible. Small boot and cramped with very plain interior. Nice size engine and ok ride. Looks better than it drives though.

Then tried Prius C. Was put off by 4-5 month waiting time. Took another look and was offered one in a months time so grabbed it. Love the simple design inside -plasticky -Yes but simple and modern. Have the built in GPS unit which i like is sunken to avoid too much sunlight. Like the safety features. Like the controls on the wheel and most of all i like the simple display- very effective. Boot size is just right. Feels quick on the road (city driving). Did not buy it for fuel consumption but will welcome a reduction in costs.

For me it was the best package for the price. Good value, good resale value.

Things not so keen on (1st week). Window wiper at back very small. Front one is great but in heavy rain yesterday could hardly see out of the back.

Was driving through Bangsar in my white PC behind a young guy in his black PC the other day. Was pretty annoying- he was obviously trying not to go above 50km/hr....hogging the middle lane..going SLOWWWWW. Not sure what he is trying to save!
