Sadly with the recent bad publicity (quality, all those stun/accident), many starting to doubt P2 even Malay girls also up standard and just want to sit in Maseli.. laugh.gif

Most people don't care if the car is efficient or not. It's all about the brand.
Like Seiko or Rolex?

During my younger days, I always fancy those BMW & Mercedes.

Now at an older age, won't be getting them since these cars are not reliable and is a money pit. Feels a bit sohai to buy them unless you have a business that is generating huge profit back to you.

For a salaryman, probably a Honda / Toyota is good enough already.

Best efficient car belong to Honda City CVT. Especially on highway distance, this car excel for FC with combine 18km/l. But does it reliable for high mileage is question mark. Many suffer CVT gb problem heading 100k km above

Buy car in accordance to what you can afford.
Real rich people wouldn't care about how much it cost for petrol/electricity; maintenance; services; insurance. They just pay without questions.
Those who frequently questions those above should examine themselves whether they truly can afford the car.

Read one City Hybrid owner previous gen, with DCT dry clutch, also kene with gb issue. Luckily for him claim under warranty when his car almost 5 years old. Wonder the DCT unit price if repair/replace. Inb4 it dry clutch, 2nd first dct oil change by HM is at 160k km, believe this contribute for the issues

That’s an inconvenient truth and one that doesn’t get said nearly enough thumbsup.gif thumbsup.gif

Personally speaking, I wouldn't mind driving whatever brand, as long as I like that car.

I've been toying with the idea of getting a stick shift for a weekend toy in Sydney. My Cayenne is obviously Tiptronic, and I don't know what got into my head when I opted for PDK in my 911 GTS (actually, I do know what got into my head - the faster 0-100kmh timing: 3.4s vs 4.0s).

So, I kinda have an itch for a manual that I'm trying hard not to scratch (but I know I will fail).

For that, I have 3 candidates in mind:

1. Stick with the Porsche brand: a 718 Boxster in manual - BUT, that's on its last legs, with an all EV platform replacement round the corner

2. Go back to BMW (the M2 still comes in manual) - but, the M2 is really, erm, shall I diplomatically say, an acquired taste in the looks department right now

3. Go for an MX-5

3 different brands, and one might argue that a BMW or a Mazda is a step down from Porsche, but as long as the driver gets his quota of enjoyment, who cares!
