But if you take a new car...you have to worry about paying the monthly installments,and add in the regular servicing too, problems still not solve actually!

And that's not all true that old cars always needs 100% money and attention to maintain. It depends on how is the condition and how the last owner took care of it.

Take example my Nissan, it doesn't break down often enough to break my wallet.Over the years, I just do my usual oil changes and only once in a while, I fork out more when something else breakdowns .

But otherwise, Toyota and Nissan built cars to last.

TS, I test-drove a MYVI on KLIA highway, and I can attest that kinda floaty on KLIA highway. If I were you,I rather go for the Corrola for more comfort, more power & spaciousness. Everything is better than a Myvi, if Corrola vs MYVI.

MYVI is a good car, but it's suspension is setup to be best driven around town.

I think you are a Pro-MYVI supporter, for you are blinded the truth, that Corrola still beats it hands down for spaciousness. LOL!

TS,
I sat in my friend's Corrola AE111 Auto version, and I loved the feeling of solidness and good NVH (Noise,Vibration,Handling). MYVI and Corrola both are on a different class of cars and still, if you sat in a Corrola first..and then later sat in a MYVI, you would definitely go back to a Corrola.

Take a manual version for highest fuel economy since you are primarily for highway runs.

Is that all you can point out...new new new? LOL

You didn't hear this saying?

~~ Old is Gold ~~

Yeah Agreed.

Highway runs usually are more relaxing and more beneficial to the engine, as the constant high RPM and high combustion temperatures will burn off the old carbon naturally.

High mileage vehicles doesn't always means bad, guys.
200,000KM is nothing. It's too common for most cars on the road at this age, or older. My own ride is already more than 200,000KM now and running strong.

Take a look at old Volvos.. for example..they can have like 500,000KM on the clock and they run like a healthy horse.

The Americans always celebrate whenever their cars hit 200K miles. MILES. Thats 321,868 ,FYI.
Search in Youtube.Tons of these videos.

Shame on you guys for discriminating a 200,000KM car without giving it one chance.High mileages doesn't necessarily means its a wrecked car.

Also, my vote still holds for Corrola because their gearbox ratio is very tall. Meaning high speed, low RPMs.

I recall that MYVI Auto at 110Km/h is around 3000-3200RPM while the Corrola AE101 Auto version has much lower RPM than 3000RPM. This translate to quieter running and of course, less fuel.

Any MYVI owner (WanMya, you also) can confirm the speeds?

This one I believe you, cause I sat in my friend's AE101,cruising on the Federal Highway, and I thought his tacho was faulty! LOL

Added on October 31, 2008, 1:46 pmViscosity of the engine oil does not affect any speedometer or RPM reading.

Only tyres and rim sizes do.

Nothing to Laugh about.
Engine Performance , Yes, can be affected or improved due to lubricant drag and improper usage of oil viscosity.

But What I was relating, was engine RPM and Speed of Vehicle Ratio. Lubricant still can't affect the relations of RPM vs Speed of Vehicle Ratio.
2 different things I am talking here.

Furthermore...pimp the Corrola AE101, drop in 4AGE or 4AGEZ 20V engine, and put some nice black rims,
park it next to a souped up MYVI with whatever "TRD Passo" bodkykit, and it still stands out.

I could imagine if the both owners pops open their bonnets and see who drolls more
4AGEZ vs. K3VET

Yo dude. Cool it la.
Just some suggestive suggestions for future mods la
If he wants to take the suggestion, he can ask more about it.

I was also comparing apple with apple. You should know that K3VET is turbocharged right...how can I pop in a 4AGE N/A engine and compare with a turbo-charged K3VET?

For FC main concerns, yeah, just stick to the ori engine. TS wont go wrong with taking over the bro's AE101.

Cheers!
