Hye ~ i am planning to buy a car ~ currently using MYVi 1.3 (2010) ~ And personally I like 308Turbo for a long time ago ~ hahah ~ kinda my dream car (that i can buy) ~ 2ndhand value for 2010 308 Turbo is around 60k - 70k ~ worth it or better buy new preve?

Or any other option for car less than rm70k ? I gonna sell my myvi so my downpayment is quite high ~

Try not to go for uncertained vehicles which will bring you problems later on. Why not buy new? Nasim's after-sales are notoriously known to be poor, and in the even of a breakdown and parts need to be replaced, it's not only you are paying more for these replacement parts but the possibility that you may need to wait for several weeks for the parts to be available. Few friends who owned Peugeot don't have much good words for it when it comes to reliability and maintenance. When it comes to driving, it can be good. But when problem crops up after warranty period, then you will feel it. Especially if warranty period is over.

The Preve is quite a solid car with decent handling. Only the Turbo engine is not very refined and loud but guess that is what to expect for a vehicle that's below RM70k. Brand new you have peace of mind.

And I believe Proton's after-sales service is anytime better than Peugeot Nasim's too.

Do you own Volkswagen in the first place? Or you just took that as your username to bash conti with false problems, etc in which you are personally with crappy N-brand.

Based on your comment, it shows that you are the type that stick to Japanese make and won't go conti at all. If that is the case, aren't you supposed to avoid P1 as well when they no longer get MMC engines especially Preve/Suprima? It's not even Japanese made.

Warranty or not, you still fork out own money for the service. Your N-brand Teana/Sylphy, the fragile CVT gearbox maintenance, you still have to pay with own money while under warranty. So what crap are you talking about here? As for the few unlucky but lucky cases for some Sylphy owners that had the CVT gearbox steel belt dislocated a bit, lucky for them it happened while under 3 years warranty, any guarantee for them after the 3 years? How do you explained the X-Trail, Sentra N16 and Cefiro engine blown cases due to excessive overheating when no more warranty? Aren't they paying with own money too?

What is this nonsense you are spewing? And what is it about my N-brand Teana and Sylphy? Why was this in the discussion? I think something is wrong with your head.

There is no nonsense. Based on your comments all these while, you know nuts about conti. There is nothing in your comment that talks about conti all these. Those who really owned conti could have given some facts properly.

If VW so that unreliable, wonder why so many buy them nowadays? The Passat and Golf look dull but people still go for them when they could go for the nicer Mazda 6. So why is that? For Japanese brand, the most reliable is Toyota followed by Mazda then MMC, etc. Honta is never durable while N-brand, not sure whether they have overcome the overheating issue. Can you explain?
