QUOTE(0168257061 @ Oct 25 2018, 11:52 AM) Try compare Vios vs 208 or Polo and see. Chassis braces, metal thickness, overall lower in quality than an equivalent segment/priced conti car. The reason conti cars are designed that way is because of their very strict regulation in europe. Besides that, in Japan most of their high volume cars are all small kei cars, and people in japan drive very courteously, hardly get into major accidents. I've driven in Japan before, it makes sense why they dont need to overengineer the car. QUOTE(skyblu3 @ Oct 25 2018, 11:58 AM) They are falling behind in the last 10 years, now they are trying to catch up back.But it'll take time. I'll still feel safer behind a conti car than a jap car, especially in our country when the people here drive like nuts |

Oklah, let's say the Prince engine already improve (cough)
The stupid fuel pump remains the same, the high pressure pump also same, intake also same, aircon coil, thermostat, Abs sensor, engine seals, a bigger more twin scroll pandan turbo, easy to break electronic blow off, short battery life, probably even the carbon built up and a whole lot of other parts that's not related directly to Prince engine also gets broken, fast. |

Air cond coil Thermostat Electronic diverter valve The above undergone recall, changed to newer ones, haven't had an issue with them since. My car was extended another 2 year warranty also (now is 7 years, since 2014). Turbo Engine seals ABS sensor Carbon built up Intake Never had a problem, despite already 120k km. But I was advised to do de-carbo every 100k km for most direct injection engine. Short battery life This one is true, bloody european battery don't seem to last. Our constant heat maybe kills it faster. Next time gonna try Amaron. |

QUOTE(LTZ @ Oct 25 2018, 11:57 AM) Yeah just back from One Utama looking at the real thing.The gauges positioning quite high in the real car and once the steering adjusted lower i can see 80% of the gauges so not much of a problem. The problem is the back seats. The legroom so freaking small once the front driver seat adjusted to my 172cm height. Dunno why european like to make tight back seats than most jap car despite the guai lou height is much taller than asians. |

The power and torque is just a basic explanation on how fast the car will end up in the workshop, how fast Peugeot owners will rant and cry, and how fast the car value depreciate.
