I think if they want to expect Perodua level fuel save, this might not be good choice.

true

QUOTE(zerorating @ Sep 16 2024, 11:25 PM)
not yet one year already asked reliable or not?
*
lol

QUOTE(Balanced @ Sep 16 2024, 11:27 PM)
If worry no spare part, take cars that are reliable and have been around a long time like the vios.
Any new 1st gen cars will have this worry no spare parts.

yeah told him already. he just looking at options


QUOTE(marfccy @ Sep 16 2024, 11:28 PM)
people said the same back in 2017 when protong release X70, over the years there are obvious hiccups, dissatisfactions, problems etc

but ultimately most of them are still pretty okay over it and sales are still decent

hmm my experience with waja is good also

so yeh the only experience you can research with S70's "longetivity" is via geely emgrand to see if they share the same quality over the years

QUOTE(zero5177 @ Sep 16 2024, 11:50 PM)
Since the powertrain like Engine and Gearbox are shared between X50 model which has been around in MY for more than 3 years (China launched 6 years ago) without premature failure, I think these are pretty ok for now.

Although ppl say this 3 cylinder is the dumping ground, but it is still pretty new compared to Toyota that still uses engine tech from about 18 years back, but hey some ppl don't mind paying for old tech which makes Toyota still selling pretty well today.

thanks guys

For old ppl, better safe to get old tech & less complicated electronics

Even touch screen also they blur blur already.

Jepunis cars good for old timers or old thinking fella. They want easy, not complicated, so called reliable (less electronics), best RV, best FC.

correct

If the engine was really that flawless, they wouldn't have come out with the new Dynamic Force engine  sad.gif

But like I said, if it works with Malaysian, why not right? it is more friendly in term of cost and profit.
