Which car is would be the better choice for daily?


330i
Good Driving dynamics
Power is there

S60
Looks good
Power is there

GR86 (Manual, Typo in the poll)
Good Driving dynamics
Resale value should be the best among the bunch
Been wanting to try out a coupe

Tesla
The reason why tesla is in the list is due to the value at the package is too good to resist.
I am living in landed, so no issues with the charging as well.



I have 2 cars atm
- Japanese b segment bought in 2020 (Will be selling it away)
- Polo 1.6 bought last year for gf to use (Wont be selling, but mileage is less than 300 KM/month)

For me it has to be a Tesla Model 3 Performance.

Best performance, best bang for buck, brand new with peace of mind, the convenience of charging at home and most importantly it's tax free. Buying a brand new imported car in Malaysia tax free is one of the best bargains you can get!

imho... the old evora is the only comfortable lotus for daily use... des why i specifically mention this model...

should be able to get one around 200-250k... but got to stomach the road tax...

10 yrs ago i wanted this car... but now i go ev... but honestly, i feel m3p is more for bragging rights...

Get the M3P you won't regret it. Sleeper when you want it; crazy race car when you feeling bored. Being an EV (esp. Tesla) the maintenance/upkeep is very infrequent and don't need to worry about anything aside from consumables like brake pads. If you keep flooring your 330i chances of things going wrong and requiring more expensive repairs in the future will go up.

he wants the model 3 performance... comes with 20" standard wheels and i think bigger brakes... he still young so i guess can tahan as a daily on Malaysian roads... and i think cannot downgrade smaller but i could be wrong... and how often one does century runs for 3.1s... biggrin.gif

i'd just go for the long range if i were him...

The part where it's quite a turn off is the big wheels (if there is an option for smaller ones I will opt for it)


For why choose performance..seems tempting to be able to smoke cars like m3, c63, golf r etc etc for the fun of it lol

CRV 2024 2.0 RS will be a good choice.

I can go long on pros and cons as S60 owner.

But I think not needed, because TS heart says Model 3P already...
