Family premium sedan that <rm150k OTR (current promo price), to me is following but what more ? Mazda 6 is there but smaller / less comfort and >rm150k

Accord 2.0 - More common / spare part & reliable. Tech. Durable ?

Passat 1.8 CL - Better comfort and suspension. TSI. Conti look but new B8 batch reliable ?

definitely passat. better engine, features, comfort, nvh, etc.
since Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia took over few years back, Malaysians started to enjoy the legendary vw reliability, performance and superb value.

Wait what, legendary VW reliability?? 😂 Are you a VW salesman?

Superb value? Until the RV drops like a stone that is.

Passat is below rm150k? got such promotion?

New accord coming soon. Better wait to see it?

apparently is arount 200k

You are comparing brands at both ends of in terms of rv.

Car wise, Passat wins hands down period.

Top up and buy a Mercs or a BMW la... no brand and no face!

For spec wise and price range, Accord 2.0 is like a kosong spec. Top up to get the 2.4 version much worthy.

VW Passat, I admire the car but choose not to own it. Not enthusiast enough to own it.

passat 1.8 is using dry clutch, it's better to get the 2.0TSI with wet clutch and much better equipment and the power is damn syok.

i think the passat 2.0TSI and optima GT are the best bang for buck u can get in this segment

U will be "Very Worry" after you get VW. Hope you don't regret. Whether is value or rv, VW is rubbish.
( I owned a VW, 3 years old, piston crack, mecha fail x2, clutch fail x 3, water pump x, central lock x1, 3 times breakdown engine light on n tow to SC. Rounds up to 3-4 months car need to ICU in SC for each calendar year ) Sold the card after 3.5 years, from purchase price of RM 135K, trade in RM 33k. My old honda city purchase at RM 85k, 11 years old, trade in RM 22k.

Do consider and do your own research before buying VW, but buying a Jap car, definitely save you a lot hassle.

wtf...3.5y lost 100k? that bad the RV?

I’ve owned the Passat for 4 years now. Totally opposite experience with u. Just send for normal service. Everything was boring, like clockwork.
But the ride, comfort and handling is much higher level compare to Japanese cars. Not even Mazda 6 comes close.
RV doesn’t bother me unlike most ppl bcos the full value of the car is realized every time when driving it.
As long as ur healthy, can make money. But can never recover the years of shabby driving and lower level of experience.

Comfort Line, the basic one. Agent price lah. 2018 registered even cheaper

i see in the website CL is rm179k, how low can you get? Do you still get that 5 years free maintenance package? same duration of warranty?

can always nego with the salesman to get more discounts and freebies.

new car or pre reg 2019 car?
if new car is very cheap

he is trolling maybe. the way he wrote abt reliability i can sense the joke. chill guys.

If refer here, it is https://www.carlist.my/cars-for-sale/volksw...8&max_year=2019

in this list, mostly or almost all are pre-reg car, still worth to get though
