Hello peeps,

Advice me on Proton S70 or Camry hybrid 2017, pros and cons, looking to upgrade or buy another car for family.

Thank you

#1, I go and book s70 fx without test drive then bank took forever to approve loan as my work nature is on off.

#2. Going for suv/mpv and proly cancel s70 loan since off to work again.

Hi captain obvious....

Kamli

7 Years Hybrid, Battery change already?

Battery aging not even a Toyota badge can save your from that.

Its like this...

No Headache vs Headache

You choose

Kamli lah.

2nd hand value higher.
Japanese brand.
Toyota parts support.

buy to repair. a good idea if u like diy troubleshoot

Camry Hybrid - If Battery already changed, A/C pump already service/changed, Steering Rack already changed.
Maybe can consider, if not prepare another RM10~15k to repair if no more warranty.

Would be better to get a Mark-X even better.

wanted to say d-seg camry parts will be expensive but doubt s70 parts will be any cheaper also.

one thing to note about the camry is 2.5L road tax loh and the hybrid battery.

camry wheelbase longer so probably means longer legroom for family.

all in all, i prefer camry to s70 as well.

Kamli but 7 years hybrid still not sure good or not.

But seems like majority says Kamli

Camry
If need local support can check Tee & Tee at Klang. They specialist in Hybrid repair for Toyota Hybrid vehicles

Hibrick MA...NOT FULLY E VEHICLE

Afraid of new proton, since x70 came out seems like lots of issue, but then a 7 years hybrid isn't much to say.

Leaning toward camry, since I like hybrid but the aging battery as people say kinda worry me.

Thank you, great info

Still afraid hahahaha, first time leaning toward hybrid.
Last time want to buy Prius, people say avoid coz bateri very expensive.

Last I check hybrid battery for Camry (new) with 24 months warranty was RM 7,000

Newer car of course

But I’m bias

I choose s70.
New car and still have warranty. Relatively comfortable too

good luck bro...
for me, ill avoid 2nd hand cars, let alone a hybrid.

Honestly, didn't know. But used to heard lots of battery issue, and cost a lot.

And wife bias toward new car, saying better tech, and warranty wise.

Maybe will see the S70 then make up mind.

Also take note you are comparing a B segment vs a D segment, vast of a difference.
