Your Hail Mary attempt to try and justify your reason of patronizing people just goes to show how imbecilic the they are. In Malaysian slang, bodoh sombong.

Your opinions are of course, yours. It should, however, be relevant. No need to come in here and tell people your mother is also a woman. Tell us something that we don’t already know. If that’s your purpose, it is my opinion that you can go Kopitiam. You can go guns blazing over there.

Well like I mentioned, if you are too bodoh sombong or too dumb to understand what others are trying to say, then just don't read/ ignore it Dumbo.

There isn’t anyone here who doesn’t understand what you’re trying to say. What we’re trying to tell you is your opinions are not appreciated, helps nothing and just shows how arrogant you are. Perfect for the other thread mentioned multiple times before.

Of course I can ignore your comments. But I can also rightly point it out as stupid, arrogant and completely unhelpful. No? At least my opinion is slightly more valuable than yours, which is an absolute nil.

If you think you are so good, why not give some 'valuable' opinions on this thread instead of whining and crying like a baby and wasting thread bandwidth here.

I seriously feel damm ignorant on this kind of comment - 'if you ask, means you can't afford'.

Hey, can I set a target on it or you don't have something better to say?

Seems like you have a comprehension issue as well, amongst the many other problems. I’ve said that my comments are just one notch above yours, which is 1 as opposed to yours, which is 0. I haven’t a clue how much maintenance it’s gonna take but I’m not patronizing the one who is asking either.

These people.. Maybe in real life they're constantly bullied or insulted at, hence can only use social media to release their dissatisfaction faced in real life.

hahahaah diuuuu. stop stalking me leh hahaha. paiseh one okay. now you know family got buy macan liao.

I think if you really like a car and you can afford it, just do it. Porsche's car are very reliable relatively speaking, as long as you keep it well maintained on time with an experienced workshop that deal with Porsche's car, you will enjoy the ownership thoroughly.

I can totally understand the "excessive" feeling of buying a luxury brand like Porsche though, it can be intimidating somehow if this is your first time, but if you really do like it, go for it!

Offtopic: Any Porsche community/club/forum around here that I can join?

As long as maintenance doesn't leave a hole in your pocket should a major component requires replacement, and that you don't need to use a credit card and pay installment for maintenance, go for it.

I have some colleagues, who no choice but to use credit card to maintain a Proton because he just doesn't have enough when it breaks down. Then pay minimum and incur interest.

Everything is relative and proportionate. But I must say, Macan is a great choice in terms of looks. Though I'd prefer the new LR Discovery.

lr discovery too futuristic for me.

if major breakdown rm10k i can still pay for it. of course if major breakdown every month i can’t la haha. once a year still ok

RM12k for a service?? Big bois league indeed

Wow..I pity ur friends..what to do. Its proton after all, the parts is among the cheapest in the market. Swipe and pay minimum indeed disaster liao. I pray he can finish the outstanding balance fast2 once he get money back.

Sometimes, it's bad money management. Sometimes, it's circumstances they may be in and I understand. They have kids, and a car is the option instead of a bike. Then that becomes bad family planning, which leads to bad money management because not enough to cover expenses via their income. My point to all car buyers remains the same, be it from Viva to Lambo. If you need to be in debt to pay for maintenance, my opinion is NO. If it makes a big dent in your financial planning if something major breaks down, my opinion is NO. Car has and almost always is a liability.

Getting back to the topic of the Macan, what deal is TS getting? Macan S and above would be ideal. The standard Macan would seem underpowered but I don't know coz I haven't sat in one yet.

It's not underpowered, 0~100km/h below 7s for a standard Macan, 6.7s for Chrono spec, faster than many cars out there.

Depends on what you want, I was given a choice to choose between Macan and Macan S, for the sake of maintenance and it's just a family car, I preferred non S for the comfort, reliability and lesser maintenance.

Many people have wrong perception between S & non S, it just 100HP and 1s (0~100) different, if you want fast and real powerful, only Macan Turbo is the choice.

i believe not that expensive, as vagtechnik do service porsche macan. Maybe save around 5-10k per year for servicing which is ok for conti.

what is vagtechnik?

workshop that provide value for money service for volkswagen group cars

ok thanks. if official service center then I no worry.

Expensive car not dare send those normal workshop. Dunno they know how to do the electronic stuff later simply join car rosak they no guarantee 1.

but they did their job well to my golf mk6. Well official service center should be the best, but if buying second hand no point going there, unless there's no alternative.

They can source original and oem parts, the best thing is that they tell you beforehand, but this is my personal opinion, but you can visit them and see for yourself as so far i am satisfied.

my rule of thumb, if i purchase a 250k car, i would spare 50-100k for maintenance for the rest of the ownership
