you need to be firm and clear on what you want and what you're getting.

let me ask you this, to fully sound proof a car typically cost between rm1k to 10k or so.
any "higher segment" car with DECENT STOCK sound proofing cost between 100-300k and beyond not including a long term high interest rate bank loan.

do you need mathematics lessons to calculate which is cheaper?

yeah thats what i did - hood and doors, although i only sound proof 2 doors, f*** the rear door.
however i've surprisingly gotten good comments that my rear doors are solid too... that's probably due to the new rubber linings/seals i've replaced not too long ago. and my accessory installer mentioned that despite being empty, old iswara's door plate is thicker/heavier than most car makes today hence the sturdiness

but this only applies wear and tear, i replaced all my worn and torn parts, door/chassis rubber lining/seals even entire door panels due to accident/rust and corrosion.

consider it new, except it is stock.
the same goes to the front doors, except they are way more solid with thick sound proofing materials underneath them

here's the thing: NVH improvement can easily exceed a higher segment stock car when done properly.
those jobs will require stripping your car down to the bare metal chassis and slowly apply various materials to them similarly how a luxury car such as BMW/audi/merc would have, and those sorta sound proofing/insulation is definitely not available on supposedly "higher segment" such the 120-160k range c/entry d segment cars.

so what i am saying here is when you are putting down absurd figures (eg: 10k) into sound proofing, you can easily exceed a higher segment (eg: civic/altis being c segment) car despite being a lowly saga.

do look into the matter more before starting your hostilities and playing around with various forum colors

kindly share what was done, where was it done, how much was spent

since you're so firm on your opinions, you're free to keep them

both goes hand in hand
(yes i have both too)
