QUOTE(kadajawi @ Dec 26 2012, 05:19 PM) Renault should be fine, usually they belong to the safest cars. Renault is known for safety. 5 stars across the range if i am not mistaken, they're trying to balance it up coz they love to create crazy performance cars I guess   QUOTE(kimsim @ Dec 26 2012, 05:21 PM) Renault is partnership with Nissan, Cannot say like that each company as a different goal and target market.I guess Nissan should be ok. Or Infiniti crash test. Nissan is for every joe ordinary, Infitity is for richfag, etc. QUOTE(lcy851031 @ Dec 26 2012, 11:30 PM) I think Malaysia consumer also had to blame for this kind of situation. Yup, true.As Kadajawi say, the germany didn't had strict enforcement for the car safety features, yet people at europe will stay away from car that had bad crash test. But in Malaysia, i think most of the people only care about the exterior/interior looks, ICE and price only. The safety features, which cannot be added aftermarket, not much people care about it. The thing that japs manufacturer come out the gimmick bodykit/suspension tuning in Malaysia market really tell us what most Malaysia what factor to be considered when buying new car.  A friend of mine just came back from Germany. Over there Golf and Polo is like Myvi and Vios here, everywhere. When he saw one Daihatsu car which resembles the Myvi he pointed it out to his German friend and said its the most popular car in Malaysia. The German said, "what? that car has no safety features, mostly bought by poor foreigners or bought for foreign maids to use to drive to the market to buy groceries."  |

QUOTE(Myoswee @ Dec 27 2012, 11:38 AM) A friend of mine once told me LOL RM30k can't even buy much Either you are fxxxx rich or fxxxx stupid to buy a foreign brand in Malaysia  Just found out in US a V6 Camry 10 air bags selling for USD 30k. QUOTE(kadajawi @ Dec 27 2012, 12:27 PM) Foreign maids are very, very rare though. I know that had we gotten a maid for my father we would have spent around RM 10k per month. And that wouldn't be full time. Normal employees don't earn that much. And if you are cash strapped you'll probably just buy an old second hand car, though they aren't very safe. (Many have been scrapped in the last scrapping scheme though, where you were paid to scrap your old car if you buy a new one). Yup you're right.Though those poorfags can't afford to TUV the old cars will probably just get cheapass unsafe cars. QUOTE(EnergyAnalyst @ Dec 27 2012, 02:37 PM) I really fail to undersand what is it that you are saying, first you claim Peugeot 408 may show poor result if given the same test either by IIHS or Europe Ncap or ANCAP, but where is the proof of your claim? Unless you can point it to me the source of reference, then you are then assuming IKR that kinda assumption is dangerous. |

QUOTE(kadajawi @ Dec 27 2012, 03:36 PM) I think it is relatively reasonable to assume that it won't do so well, since manufacturers tend to do only as much as necessary (with the exception of Volvo). i think so too.@Zenix: TÜV is required for _all_ cars. Every 2 years the cars have to be checked if they are road worthy. Older cars obviously have more problems (even though features like airbags or good EuroNCAP ratings aren't required). Newer, safer cars are usually also in better condition, because, well, they are newer. It might be more sensible to buy a new cheap car (like a Fiesta, Yaris etc.) with warranty and on installment rather than an old second hand car that has to be constantly fixed, where taxes are higher etc. The new car will probably be much safer too. the engineers pakat with the dept that does warranty. all those maintenance free batteries claim 1 year warranty. cun cun 13 years will die thanks for the confirmation, never been to germany....yet  |

Kinda an AM FM situation.
They're both radio signals but having a 92.9FM doesn't mean it works as 92.9AM hard to judge. |
