you're lucky.

my car almost totalled last time.

die die they dowan to write off to adjuster, say can fix.

car cost last time? around 230k

insurance claim? 200k.

only later on i found out that they insist to repair, and only later on also i found out that the margin to bring in spare part is many many times higher than just provide me with a new car. ranting.gif

in the workshop for 1+ year.

yeah

what's worse is that back then they only brought in very limited roccos, like 10 units only. and no 5 year warranty. somemore if you need to send your car for normal servicing, need to book 2 weeks or a month in advance. normal fking service, like topup oil and shit. so got a few times memang lama nak kena tunggu booking, especially nearing holidays so I kenot tahan do my own. they wanted to void the warranty. had to pull some strings, they backtracked their threat.

then car got totalled. not by me also, but that's another story la. that's when I knew how shitty VW malaysia/singapore (back then singapore was the HQ) was. but yeah, long story short, really bad experience.

the car, on the other hand, performed beyond expectation. seriously, 2.0 rocco drives better than a ferrari, on msian roads. but the service centre? ako makan taik lagi sedap dari send to them. why'd you think wearnes genting kelang tutup, wearnes sungai besi tutup, etc?

Bit more details on the bolded part boss. Intriguing.

hmmmmmm how can I say ah...


ok DUKE, otw to ampang. the long right corner just before wangsa maju exit. road is slightly bumpy.

rocco, medium suspension. i can pull 200kph no problem. car is stable. feels planted on the road.

felali 430. anything higher than 200 and can feel the car flying a bit.


what I can say is that it's just not designed for the common malaysian road. rocco smoothes out the bumpiness so much that I use soft suspension setting for my daily drive.


basically, the car feels more balanced. kinda like if you pit mx5 vs a felali on the same road. the feeling of accelerating in corner vs braking in corner affects your driving experience so much. after all msian road nak laju mana sangat.
