QUOTE(ratloverice @ Apr 5 2023, 03:22 PM) Heard it from a previous g30 and f15 owner that bmw memang banyak masalah, but he still bought a g12 eventually. iinm w205 and x253 are using the same gearbox, and the gearbox on my w205 sometimes acts like it doesn't know which gear to change to. Suspension pun quite stiff. So which would you pick?

QUOTE(fantasy1989 @ Apr 5 2023, 03:24 PM) if pre-owned then best value is xc60 if u plan to use it for another 8 years (as it wont hold value well) if short term then benzi Plan to use long term lo..unless the car dies on me No plan to sell also so resell value not important to me. I tested drive all 3 of them..BMW > Volvo > Merc. Normal maintenance cost are similar as well. Cuma reliability and repair cost I don't know which 1 is better.

QUOTE(hungrygodzilla @ Apr 5 2023, 03:30 PM) Sounds like you not the kind of people who will enjoy a Volvo la. Dont want ADAS, scare high tech stuff, scare battery, scare electronic stuff... This day this age, learn to embrace technology, even old boring toyota push out car with ADAS and lot more electronics and tech already, how long can you run and hide wor? Why bother driving the car on jam road and long drive on highway when the car can do the driving by itself, if you scare L2 driving, can just enjoy the ACC and control steering only. Get the XC60 inscription plus package la, the B&W speakers really amazing. But from your chat, seems like you more suited for BMW. No leh, my current car also got ADAS but I don't find it useful. It's just that I banyak takut kereta masuk kilang then very sien. So you can also say "Aiya TS takut kereta rosak when bother to buy conti, buy Toyota je"...but u know la...dream ma to own a conti car.

QUOTE(ceras @ Apr 5 2023, 03:33 PM) Amongst the 3, BMW has the shittiest support. You go to their 3S is like going to Proton 3S. My choice is Volvo which have improved their support in the last few years by leaps and bounds. As regards to hybrid, once you have it, you will not want go back to pure ICE. It is also a safe midway to full EV. Ingat BMW high class sikit service and support better punya? I am okay with hybrid la..just that Volvo macam more electronics than the other 2 takut always rosak. QUOTE(Duperaider @ Apr 5 2023, 03:33 PM) unker using xc90, unker fren that drive xc90 says hoh, you need about 30k for first year to zhap the car, then second year onwards should be about 10 - 20 k per year, the if all lucky hoh, only 6k per year for normal maintanance. First 1 or 2 years for sekenhen is liddat one lar, a lot to zhap. Wa uncle, need so much to zap ah? 3 years only wo? Maybe send to service center let them zap since ada warranty?

QUOTE(JimbeamofNRT @ Apr 5 2023, 03:34 PM) have u test drive the clubman?  I tried but I don't like it. My gf likes Mini Cooper tho. QUOTE(mywishistopawn @ Apr 5 2023, 03:34 PM) xc60 - too many tech and hybrid conti usually cost bomb to repair bmw x3 - never drive glc - i driven w205 C200 & currently owned w213 E200, both using m274 engine which very reliable. so fast i just change oil and some wear and tear. This also explain why so many C w205 on the road. I think Glc 200 & 250 is using the same m274. Try to avoid 48V EQ boost, to me is unreliable. Eh but 2020 onward GLC macam still ada 48V EQ boost? How long have you owned the car ya? Any big repair like need few k to repair one? QUOTE(ratloverice @ Apr 5 2023, 03:34 PM) That's the only reason for me. I was veryyyyy interested in s60 t8 eh until i saw the 180km/h speed limit Wa bro drive so fast go Holland ke? This post has been edited by NothinUnusual: Apr 5 2023, 03:37 PM

QUOTE(hungrygodzilla @ Apr 5 2023, 03:37 PM) You buy what not for me to judge la, not spending my money. If you dream of conti, go get BMW la. Volvo's badge not conti enough. But personally, i'll go for XC60, simple and nice car with amazing speaker. GLC interior ... i see already OMG, long overdue for new version already. BMW not familar nth to comment. No worries la, this is /k ma, we share share opinions punya. I also like to hear different kind of experiences and opinions. I like the interior and look for all 3 also. Just looking for opinions in terms of repair cost haha

QUOTE(ratloverice @ Apr 5 2023, 03:38 PM) I usually drive around 140 je on highway, but sometimes when the traffic is okay, boleh tekan extra sikit la. SUV x ngam u bro, should get sports car terus. QUOTE(RegentCid @ Apr 5 2023, 03:39 PM) I like hybrid car plus I love Station Wagon even more, which curretly Volvo are only still selling in Malaysia. Looking + waiting for used thunder grey version from Volvo show room. BTW, Volvo depreciation value are the highest among 3. 60k price drop in one year. Depreciate cause always rosak or brand x wangi? If the latter one I don't mind cause I plan to ride this baby for a long time.
