The idea of "Japan car good, China car bad" is why Honda can keep selling cars with bad steering rack.

those were the days when vios used to be budget toyolta car

now become as big as colola already

In Malaysia price > all

many people seem to have the impression there exists a perfect car to tibai this brand that brand but in actuality most of the time all of them have their own flaws and designed for certain type of drivers

personally while i lean towards japanese cars, theyre no longer worth/built like theyre used to. so many issues plus really expensive now

deswai chinese cars now are making an impact in Malaysia. sure there are setbacks, but people can live with a certain tolerance of setbacks

ask those fellas who own those continental cars, they can tell you exactly how it feels. but the difference is they pay alot upfront and still high maintenance at back

chinese cars manufacturers targeting the buyers to pay less upfront but high maintenance at back. your pick.

fukken this, typical fanboys of certain brands apa lagi. they want to be like that frog sitting inside the pot of soon to boil water, then by that time later cars like City/Vios become RM120k then only they know

right now chinese cars are offering the value and somehow they take offense at it kek. if japanese can offer back quality + value as in the past, im sure as hell would jump back to that brand
high maintenance could be just the amount of time you spent to upkeep, not just purely cost related

like for example while your car spare parts cheap and widely available, but because you need to frequent into workshop for replacements its still bothersome.

they projecting la apa lagi. its just typical business clearing supply parts as usual, its nothing new
