The whole point of banning autolock in non-BCM cars is rendered moot the moment the driver enters the car and manually locks the door.
Does the regulating bodies think that all the owners will never lock their doors if it was not done automatically? It's like if a victim dies due to rescuers were unable to unlock his car, those organizations and carmakers can go  This post has been edited by dares: Jul 25 2013, 07:43 PM |

QUOTE(jolokia @ Jul 26 2013, 09:57 AM) Yes for most modern car. For P1 only Preve and Exora.Jurassic P1 not sure. :-)  QUOTE(jolokia @ Jul 26 2013, 10:12 AM) There r plenty of car with 6 airbags & ESP, u just need to 'pay' for it, it's a case of demand & supply, when consumer willing to pay for it, supplier will supplies accordingly. Not really, look at Vios vs Fiesta Sedan. Almost the same price, but worlds apart in terms of safety equipment. If the consumers tell Toyota they want 6 airbags and ESP, Toyota will prolly answer "CAN! pay RM20k more." |

QUOTE(Gouki @ Jul 26 2013, 11:04 AM) that is why, u can have the choice not to buy that crappy vios. plenty of choices out there. you know Vios is a money sucking model. why still buy?  QUOTE(Smurf2 @ Jul 26 2013, 11:21 AM) still driving old camry and so far no problem.. been like you before, never think of quality of a product, simply choose korean car , a kia forte because fitted in with many accessories. at the end, sold of the car also. Korean cars with many accessories, its more like a display rather than its really functional. will never buy korean cars again. wasted my money and time keep sending to SC. Send to SC = time, sold off = money QUOTE(jolokia @ Jul 26 2013, 11:50 AM) Since Fiesta & Cerato giving 6-7 air bags just buy those car, why so fruss over Vios doesn't provide ? almost all the member here highly praise Cerato, so just buy it, why bother what Toyota giving ? like do I care if China car failed euro ncap ? not buying them. Either I misunderstood Jolokia or you guys misunderstood me. My point is more along the lines of what Kadajawi posted below....Jolokia said we will get safer cars as long as we are willing to pay, my question was: why do we have to pay more for safety? when elsewhere in the world the cars they buy get similar levels of safety with cars in their respective price brackets.Offcoz deep inside everybody still love Toyota, KIA/NAZA doesn't give much glamour isn't it, that why Vios outsell Forte by 4-5 folds despite lower specs. lol.... Can u ask Developer to sell u a fully furnished 1500sq ft condo in Mt Kiara at RM 250K ? or 5 stars hotel to sell their food at hawker stall price ? They would ask u to fly wau bulan isn't it ? In the context of Malaysia, every car sold RM80k or more should get 6 airbags and ESP. QUOTE(kadajawi @ Jul 26 2013, 12:10 PM) No need to pay more. Elsewhere the Toyota models are equipped with ESP and 6 airbags at no premium, and they cost as much as their continental competitors. It is just that Toyota wants to make more profit.

QUOTE(jolokia @ Jul 26 2013, 12:55 PM) Those "elsewhere" also charge u RM 4-6 for a liter of gasoline, a simple lunch at RM 50, monthly water bill at RM 500, their people should tembak their govt for not following Malaysia fuel price, food price, electric & water bill. Why are we talking about Benz, BMW, Audi? I'm talking about safe cars, not luxury cars. You don't have to buy a luxury car to have 6 airbags + ESP, at least you shouldn't have to.It's is not because thing r expensive, it's because u r poor, why u see so many Benz, BMW, Audi surrounding u ? Car r base on brand, house r base pn location, do u compare house in TTDI to Semenyih ? or JB with Singapore ?? U can build a bungalows in kampong with 500K but with the same money u can't even afford a 1500sq ft condo in KL. I'm asking if Koreans and Ford can offer much more safety at a relatively cheap price, IN MALAYSIA, why can't everyone else? Clearly it can be done and still be profitable, right? Why are we still getting 2 airbags without ESP inside the RM90k price range? Why should we pay more if it can be done cheaper? It has absolutely nothing to do with gasoline price, lunch money or water bill. Those fckers are reaping huge profit margins at our expense.

QUOTE(jolokia @ Jul 26 2013, 01:24 PM) Yes that what said buy KIA buy Ford, ignore Toyota, if u still insist Toyota pay more. Just saying more money doesn't necessarily = more safety....or more safety doesn't necessarily = more money, that's all same as if u wanna live in mt kiara pay more or live in smaller unit, or else moved to cheaper area & get bigger unit. How can they ripped u off when u dont buy their products ? is Vios the only car available on Malaysia ? u have plenty of choice, or u been forced to signed a contract only buying Toyota brand ? End of the day u still want that Toyota badge right ? lol... Koreans car the best konon....  |
