Ford Fiesta better not be a choice for you since the resale value isn't great normally for Fords, and the sedan is just so ugly the RV drops more.
Honda City medium spec might be the best one for you.

now, im a fella very happily puttering away on the left most or centre lane. I like the car im driving now, no real need to get to my destination quickly hehe. Even have a P sticker on the back windscreen (now i think about it, not sure if thats legal, should check that). Sometimes some annoying fellas (strangely usually myvi's and civics, and an occasional vios) cucuk my buntut too close, then i tekan and larikan diri. most will give up when it comes to the bends laugh.gif

if you see the my old junk with a slightly obscured P sticker puttering away slowly on the left lane, probably me biggrin.gif

a random statement... i have something against fd1's.... just really dislike those things...
skyactive means you need  to go for the lastest model. that would probably set you back much closer to 100k (probably 110-120k in shops)

there was a time one of the 8gcc members whom had a Type-R dekit swap with an FD1 owner because he was going for a rocket bunny kit.
so there might have been a time you'll be wondering why you got tapau-ed so badly by an FD1 laugh.gif

i miss my vr4, now deciding on a used e92 or ej25 lol.gif

Mazda2 is alright.

Qualities in terms of importance:
1. Reliable yet to be known
2. Looks good one of the better looking cars for its class
3. Decent resale value yet to be known but from initial response looks like its not going to be terrible
4. Decent fuel consumption hybrid class fuel consumption, a friend owning a hatch told me after run in can get 800kms per tank
5. Preferably sedan it is not that ugly but it is not as spacious as the city

HI sifu.

I know its a bit OT. But this is the place where all sifu gathered. haha.

Currently Vios NCP 42, realize one of the rim bengkok abit, really abit only during balancing process. But after done the alignment, the handling still good at 130km/hr. So until now I don't bother...

Till that during one traffic jam, got one fella duno is sleeping or playing phone, bang to rear, my rear bumper on the right hand side drop around 2 cm, with no external damage, but internal part (below brake light) break already, and the bracket also break already. And eventually the bumper also paint come out abit. Lastly able to fix it by forcely pull up by hand not machine. But left a 1cm gap just below the right break light.

I planning to change the rear bumper at SC because have to go SC to replace the airbag.

Since going to SC, I just want to ask regarding the rim.... Is anyone here change their rim at SC before. I mean, I wish to buy rim at SC and ask them to fix for me too. If yes, do I need to know what to worry? Because I am afraid that the nut placing isn't same? Like NCP 150 have diff length between to nuts compared to NCM 42? ( PCD ) But I am wondering is it ok to remove tyre from old rim and into the new rim? Will it affect the quality of the tyre?

Thanks.

my condolences to the old bumper

1) when you say 'nut placing' i assume you mean pcd? iirc, should be the same 4 lug, 100 (4x100)... anyway it wont go in if the pcd is incorrect...
2)suspect the original rims might cost quite a bomb at the cs... why not consider getting some decent aftermarket rims? (or used set?memang no value punya these oem rims... good condition, few hundred bucks)
3)tyres can be reused IF the sidewall isnt damaged. Not sure how you damaged your rims so yeah you got to check...


Thanks.

i think you are talking about pre-registered cars?

technically they dont drop at all... they only lower it if they cannot sell the car after a while or if they really need to get rid of it... otherwise it will sit in the lot waiting for a new owner. (otherwise everyone would only buy cars at the ends of the years)

Thanks for the fast reply.

Yea, its PCD, just checked. If PCD isn't match it wont go in right.
Yea, my tyre is new and in good condition. I suspect it was done by my sis years ago. Now only I realize. Many things baru realize, bumper bracket break. From bumper got ketuk before. @@
I know the CS will charged exp. But I don't like after market... The design not nice. And what do you mean by OEM market? I quite don't understand...

oem as in truelly original stuff..... your original rims are oemlah (this is using the term oem correctly, unlike how these chinaman ripoffs tell you their real cheap china made stuff is oem)
so what i meant by that is, find a set of used original rims.... those rims are heavy and are worth next to nothing. you will probably get the set of four for the price of one in the sc.

pcd salah, 100% cannot masuk.i mean, the studs wont go though....
personally still feel that you should look for rims elsewhere...... sc gona chop you big time *go to mudah and cari*
personally would go cari a set of aftermarket rimslah, long as not ahbeng ahbeng type, its alright...... me still waiting for my tires to die before changing rims.... current rims impractical and are silly....

Haven't ask sc yet. But sure will cost a lot. But still will ask my regular shops as well see they can get me a new set of vios rims... I like my current rims so much. But got a bit bit bengkok and a lot calar.... Women driver. Very kanasai.

I think the oem supplier haven't got the GX rim yet....

I hope won't diff alot la the sc... I ask the bumper price. Diff between sc and mudguard is 200 only. Hope rim also same la


What's ur ride. Why silly and impractical. Lol stock?

Later other tered TCSS gods butthurt come here sweat.gif

Since your car so old don't need go back SC do anything. They'll just suck your money.

NCP 42 rear bumper which is made from PP material which nowadays many manufacturers and OEM also use as original parts but older Vios I think still used ABS material for their bumpers, you can scout around chop shops for used bumpers which will cost less than RM100 or if you want cheap but new can go see parts stockist if they carry those but usually they'll carry compatibles like the one in this advertisement, really original from factory is going to cost you double the price.

Vios original rim (i think this is the first gen NCP42 model rim) still so shiny and only for RM200 what a steal.

If in used car lots as a used car, yes.
If as unregistered new car usually no, unless cannot sell like VW Polo, but Perodua Myvi's made in November usually crossover to January without price drop as the factory usually ramp up production around that time of the year to have enough supply for CNY sales.

intimidating because you not sure if the CVT can handle that much power?
It's not the same CVT in your Preve.
It has a torque converter and able to withstand high torque.
Though I think it's limits are far lower than manuals.
But hey Audi's had high powered

TLDR but gearhead porn....dun fap.

Checked car list and mudah, some D-segment car price may drop as much 20k in a year of difference. I think I should better wait and see if the price can be more attractive in 2017… btw, don't see much used Mazda 6 for sales neither on the road too… is it really a good car as indicated in most reviews? Just curious!

well lets just say my rims have 8 lugs.... yeah...... (disclaimer, it was not installed by me, practicality -100)
you mentioned subaru rims? actually i was also considering getting a set of evo 7 (the bbs looking ones) or subaru v9 rims.... only problem with the scoobie rims was the fact that there are sti stamped on it....

many variables come into play, let's talk about new cars not used and not recon.

1. how long was it sitting there unsold?
below 5 months usually no price change.

2. what brand/model is it?
sellable brands/models don't stay unsold long, slow brands/models will hold on to the RSP until almost year end or only discount after 1 year.

3. is it a high sales volume car?
like i said high volume sales cars like myvi or bezza although made in low periods like october and november do cross over to the next year with their price unchanged because usually it is to build up volume for higher demand during year end when people get bonus or CNY.
