Nowadays with social media, forums etc, no one want to buy car from Tan Choong Motor, for the after sales service.

Yup. Moto Image <- the useless Tan Chong

One decade ago XV close to 100K only with promotion or usual overtrade popularized by TCM. And minimal promotions from deadfish marketing dept public don't know any difference in FB20 engine used until today price now 150+K

Nowadays if engine got serious problem just buy half-cut engine kosong and replace, my mechanic already help owners change engine kosong and can get JPJ approval with proper custom documents.

Definitely not for normal buyers to change engine, would say 99.9% owners won't even consider half-cut engine transfer.

Hearing this for XV, even more people avoid 😅

Some people say Subaru is as durable as Toyota, but more fun to drive

Toyota owns 20% of Subaru.

Thats why got collaboration like 86/Brz

Problem in Malaysia is Tan Chong

What I know is Subaru will increasingly becoming more niche, what more with Thailand closing plant after 5 years of consecutive losses

This will affect or deter prospective buyers for sure

Sidetrack a bit,

Outside Malaysia, is Suzuki doing better than Subaru?
