What does /k think about this car?
I'm considering a car price below 200k (no top up)

Sporty Car: Hyundai Veloster
hyundai-veloster

In the world of sports cars, the Hyundai Veloster takes the crown with only half its owners saying they would purchase it again. Owners complained about the Veloster’s lack off power while it felt cheaply made and had too hard of a ride. They also noted that the hatch suffered from ease of access, response from a standstill and a tight cabin.

cerato turbo will b a better car if u wan to go for korean 'sports' car

Any goodcar to recommend around that price tag? Wanna look sporty de

Go for WRX
Now got promo less than 200k

megane rs ?

within 200k? renault megane

Crz, Scirrocco 1.4, Polo GTi (Used)...

Oh wait. Tell lah you want used or new

preve turbo, suprima turbo

Must new

Clio 3.2

Honda CRZ if you want similar looks

Wow, don't waste your RM200k pls.

Honda CRZ if you want similar looks

So I guess it's Crz or Megane? Time for test drive I guess haha

If you want a hot hatch that can be used as a daily driver, consider the Peugeot 208 GTi. New RM119k (after discount), 2nd hand from RM90k.
Compared to Fiesta ST, it has more power but with a good balance of comfort that makes it easy to drive daily.

Definitely a better choice than the Veloster

Top up a bit buy vios

Tahi car. Preve handles better, and im not making this up

Go take clio RS, its auto so driving it daily no issue. Summore renault warranty x kesah u go change big turbo big intercooler they will still close one eye and can claim warranty incase anything goes wrong

Haha no worries, yes bro part of that group .

New civic turbo is a family sedan with 'slightly sporty' engine and CVT.
Really depends what TS is looking for in a car, but if it is a fun car, don't bother with Civic 1.5T, Jetta, those. Go for a hot hatch or a proper sports car

208 GTI

200bhp of awesomeness

Ohh that day got tv interview right, i remember one of you guys highlighting the issue of road hoggers..

I usually join McClubz and NoEqual/TGTR drive...

wow nt bad, but i really rarely saw 208 gtis, whr do most of the owners stay?

im in klang valley area btw

Cerato koup lo

Kiki the steering lock own one. You can ask her.
I think got people posted her details when she was famous last time.

Ooh wasn't involved with that, so I am not aware . Nice, where do you guys usually drive?

Majority are in KV and Northen (PG, SP). We have 1 or 2 from east coast as well as Johor .
It is hard to spot GTis somemtimes because from far they look like the standard 208 3 door. Only if you can spot the differences you can tell from far.

ayam saw early in the morning when wanna go work just now. dun care how fast it can go, but we still stuck at the traffic jammed.. ohwaii

Since its a public touge session, usually ulu yam-genting je. Last session we had around 170 cars joined

i can suggest u.. vw golf r 2014.

This statement is quite stupid. Its like saying, I don't care how big a house is, but we still stay in Malaysia .
But if one gets a sportscar just to commute from A to B and gets nothing out of the drive at all, then yes you can say that. It is all about matching requirements.

Which brings us back to the most important question, what does TS wants for his 200k?
A status symbol? Get a beemer or merc 2nd hand.
A comfortable car? Get a large sedan.
A really fast car? Get second hand japanese sports car, etc
A handling car? Get a hot hatch, etc

Really depends on what TS wants

Yikes, that is massive ! Great once in a while but not so if the goal is to get a proper drive

i see, yeah i noe GTI got 3 doors n the GTI word behind, but really very rarely seen any of them, most of the 208 r the 5 door version

no love for ford focus RS?

Get Volvo v40 T5 Drive E

2.0 litre turbocharged Drive E engine ( Volvo's own) mated to Aisin 8 speed torque converter
245 bhp
350 Nm
0-100km/h in 6.3s

That's the numbers you want. Premium, sporty, handles well, safety 5 -star, 5year warranty, 5 year oncall sevice. On top of it all, a sexy looking hatch.

all that for RM193k. can't get a better deal.

lol rm200k wanna buy a korean car...forget it bro..u can get way better car than that....mercedes a250, lexus ct200h, vw golf, or even the new civic turbo...

Ds5

ayam duncare but seems u butthurt? ohwai~~

Handling car, does it mean better handling ?lol

China car.

Is not conti. Conti > all

below 200k performance car got tons of choices instead of this Veloster Turbo

New Conti: Fiesta ST, 208 GTI, CLIO RS
Used/Recon Conti: Golf GTI, Focus ST, Megane RS, A250

Used/Recon Jap: FD2R, WRX STI, Mazda 3 MPS, Evo 10

Else you u may also consider sedan/coupe like used 328i, A4/A5 2.0T Quattro

Yup, certain cars have better handling characteristics that appeal to drivers that prefers agility vs power.

Camry hybrid

Scirocco R 190k new

The V40 is not made in China, you dumbass. The tech is still 100% Swede.

So with your logic people shouldn't be buying Jag's as well since it's indian owned? LEL.

Focus ST or Golf GTI with discounts, or brand new pre-reg units if available.

Even the Volvo V40 T5 is also good.

wat he sarcastically meant was volvo is owned by a china carmaker, hence making it 'chinese'

Shittiest car u can buy . Probably the worst handling and no power car. The turbo is useless. In fact, just avoid any Korean car. Super lousy .


Better off getting a subaru wrx . now got promo. 190k plus iinm.

ugly as hell

Below 200k, buy 2 x VW Vento 1.2L TSI, double redundancy. One car engine crack/DSG fail, got another back up. If both fail, then really bad luck.

Korean car are just like Koreans.

Plastic

yes i know mate. What i'm saying is just because it's chinese owned, doesn't make it any less than what it is, a wolf in a sheeps skin

Wow now scirrocco r is cheap but year 2013. Couldn't imagine they couldn't sell the damn car for 3 years

Dont care.
Is owned by mainland China.

So it's china car. Kakakaka
German engineering > all

v40 is very serious 245 horses

and introductory 192

ko bawa proton pun boleh jahanam. TS jangan percaya recommendation budak ni

Lel, cuba masuk proton cfe cvt technical discussion group kat fb, everyday sure ada org post issue turbo jahanam punya, so definitely not user issue haha, theres something wrong with the design that if the user follows the recommended 10k km schedule service, engine wont last long. Dunno why other turbo cars dont suffer like this CFE does

Anything that has ~250bhp and turbocharged is really fun to drive.
Including those cheap china cars

Get a lada from oversea, base spec lada and u will become the rarest in malaysia

Korean car good meh? Hear a lot from my fren it kinda suck

you are toyoi dupe account

I reported and let's find out shall we

lol spend 200k for a hyundai 'sports car' is just plain stupid.

Oi why you go report me?
I'm not toyoi la mangkuk. My dupe account got elite tag

Myvi > all

Duit lebih sgshuhu AidaAzmann kata boleh buat beli pizza.

For rm200k can get bmw 1 series. A proper rwd hatch.

V40 is nice on comfort and straight line performance but if you love B roads, volvo won't be your cup of tea unless it's those R model with awd.

I am blessed to be a passenger of a s60R many years ago going up ulu yam and we came upon a group of porsche and lotus drivers. Lets says the porker and lotus have to eat humble pie that day.

The one reviewed was the standard veloster. TS asking about Veloster Turbo. Pretty decent with style. It aint no Golf GTI competitor. Probably you will be getting Mazda handling (maybe even slightly better) with some good acceleration.

I it's rubbish turbo or no turbo

new WRX 199,990 only.. megane rs looks cool..but old car..

No need to be so harsh. Still better than a fair number of cars. Would not call it rubbish. But not exactly the best. More for people who wants some power, with some style at an affordable price.

Wanna ask, if buy recond car (model not officially sold by local distributor) will it be hard to get spare parts? Model I'm talking about is latest mark x

yup i found it nothing wrong with the car just bcoz u don't like/afford it not necessary a rubbish one.
For some people, that kind of performance would be enough and obviously most of us wanted more and yet most of us also can't even actually own it in the end forever stuck with proton or maybe with a powderful Vios TRD
