kinda correct bro, depends on own financial management and ability.
i cannot understand some drive a 140K car and rent a flat, why not just a 70K-90K car?

however, real deal drive expensive car into his mansion

or how many cheap car owner do own a mansion? or even a terrace?

butthurt, ego and face value must be compensated in other way i guess.
they could be faster, they can drive it like a sport car, they can drives like their grandfather own the road, but then it is still a whatever it is car.

How bad is proton?

Very very very bad!!

everytime we spot an accident it always involve a protong or myVI cars on the road.statistic shows that 80% of the accidents and fatality daily here are local cars due to poor workmenship and especially mentality of driver as compared to a branded car drivers who tend to driver more safely on the road.

Vios

This is so full of win, I dont even know where to begin.

Let's begin with how many local cars are there on the road compare to "branded cars"?

but as far as safety and conscience is concern in malaysia,driving a branded car truly effects ones status.for example if u drive a bmw or mercs and park in front of the hotel ,immediately the jockey will rush to your car or open space to park in front.but if u were to drive local cars,they will just point finger for u to park at the lower parking bay.i don't know about u,but this is really feel butthurt.so to me,a big nono for local cars

Are you sure? a few years ago I drove my junker iswara to the Palace of the Golden Horses. The bellboy came and open my door with a smile just the same as he did for other Beemers or Mercs. It was a bit embarassing actually because my central lock was broken

Maybe the bellboys are not as shallow as you are.

i drove an alza an park using jockey before a few times..no problem..

dugong or city is more like an upgrade from a lower class.however its still not as eyesore as protong or myvi.it may have its dugong looks,or funny shape,but its still the brand that matters.why does everyone shop at lv or gucci where they can shop for better quality at a cheaper price?because of the quality?no.its because in malaysia,branded and status comes in mind 1st.unlike in europe or other developed countries whereby u can wear whatever branded cloths or drive fancy cars people wont even bother.

oi what shallow shallow. Low class proton driver go cry at corner .

my boss also the same, he is an operation director
driving a 1994 inswara

i would like to see the source or this is yourself assumption

i mean,as for my personal opinion.i don't,i won't and i never will drive a protong or myvi cars.not in this life.i would rather be working hard to save abit more to buy a dogong or city then it is to drive a protong

OK.jpg

do not insult or offend.we all have our own opinions on local cars.most people here also i would say,drives a proton and would feel offended to hear this.but as for me if i were to own a protong which i never will,i would just keep swallow and work hard to change car

now become bashing thread...hehehe...

i dun give a damn about car n its status...u can afford honda buy honda lah...u can afford toyota then get 1 la...

many of my frens drive CKD/CBU thai toyota/honda and they feel proud of it because of the badge status...me? got plenty of car to play around...so pity!

ekekeke

owh ya...one funny thing is...some of the brand minded people comparing wish vs exora and they said...PLASTIC...

i just laugh at them cos toyota also uses plastic...and the argument continues by sayng toyota uses different grade of plastic! hahaha

never had problems parking my car using jockey service while i was driving a waja, heck i even had experience driving a kelisa for jockey service. so what crap are you talking about?
