I want the E400 frankly speaking. 333hp who don't want lol? Don't think there's local units for the E300, UK/Jap spec not my cup of tea.
And also I don't see myself spending more than RM100k on a car for the time being

the prefacelift version e200, 200k km but around 4-5 years aged (that time), the ceiling fabric dropped, speakers broke, hard seats and uncomfortable hand rests that's hard too. Doesn't feel as spacious as japanese D segment car. It was fitted with bad tyre and the car's insulation cannot block that tire noise entirely.

What? Headliner wear out that fast? I only had headliner fabric torn on a 25 yo Honda.

Why? What's wrong with it?
How come?

Weather problem?

Conti not meant for hot weather here?

I use to admire BMW 330e.

But seeing all the potential problems not to mention burning my wallet later on, i guess i stick to honda city hybrid i-dcd.

4 years running now. Mileage still 40,000km-ish. Use only for going to work. 24km round trip per day. 10 minutes drive LOL.
For weekends & balik kampung trip, got my wife’s honda BRV.

Touch wood going to use for a very long time, even after the 8th year hybrid warranty ends. 

e300 bluetec hybrid is diesel right

its has better acceleration and better fuel economy due to diesel/hybrid combo

W212 is one helluva tough car. Try slam the door and u’ll know it’s like a bank vault…

I can only imagine if it was a Rover. That’s one easy way for me to get back to B40 lol. It was an mk6.

VW isn’t that expensive to fix with OEMs aplenty thankfully. But it’s freaking annoying to have things that you’ve never heard of breaking before, starts breaking. Some even repetitively. I’ve replaced accelerator pedals, dog mounts, dsg linkage and quite a few others. All these required me to get it on a flatbed. and cosmetics like the roof lining, door panel leather sagging like some kind of Botox job gone wrong, soft touch panels that became sticky tapes.

I absolutely agree contis drive better than Japanese on most days but I just can’t deal with shit potentially breaking every other day.

its a pity we dont have lease car system like overseas. where you basicaly rent the car for 2-3 years under warranty and then return the car to dealer. that would be the most hassle free way to experience the driving pleasure of conti without having to suffer the maintenance headache.

I’ve spent so much time and money on cars from wiralution to ek to GTI and R I just can’t do it anymore. Spent so much of my younger days squatting at Jaafa, Jian hang to watch them weld exhausts and intercoolers.

Still remember I used to try and replace the capacitors in my GSR 5508 ECU out of passion as you’ve put it. Of course, I screwed up the entire thing and had to get a new one lol.

Now? I just can’t make time for this shit no more. Unless I strike a lottery or crypto goes up a few 1000% more, I have to dedicate whatever time I have to make money.

Edit: or 3308. I’m so old now I can’t remember anymore

Yea bro. I think I go back even before bro Tom started ZTH. My era was feilo vtec, batu tiga and of course, Centre point BU Friday nights

No but I’ll tell you what did though. The fuel cover. Not the string that holds the petrol cap, that’s negligible but the cover itself on the outside. That’s 1.2.K (or something) not including paint job.

Go to see old timers in /k bro. Haha. Now old already come here to read sarcastic comments or troll people. Some are really hilarious I love it.

You see the hinge? That’s plastic. Overtime, it deteriorated and broke I guess. VWs, at least the one I had don’t have alarm when you lock. So you hear the solenoids quite clearly. Without the cover, the solenoid was exceptionally louder so I went and take a look and…
