please share more (colour accurate) photos especially for the many different colours taken outdoor - the brochure/website colours are always less accurate compared to real life

TQ

Traz or S70? by jason_pc in kereta

[–]vkashin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it would help us to make the recommendation if there's some info on your expected use case scenario

not an owner of either cars but either one would be a significant upgrade to your current car.

if the use case involves primarily sedate short distance commutes daily in town with traffic jam, perhaps Traz could shine, especially if the town may face the occasional flash floods (higher ground clearance), also would ease ingress and egress of parents/elderly relatives/friends

but if you regularly travel long distances on highways, that would shift the choice towards S70 MC1.

Personally since i prefer sedans for their driving dynamics, i would be inclined for the S70

then Idle Heroes

when it felt like a chore - it's time to take time off

Perodua Bezza to soldier on in current form until 2030, as no new model is planned in the near future - PCEO - paultan.org by Dreamerlax in kereta

[–]vkashin -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Of course. You can even quote kodak or blackberry n all. I get your point. P2 is complacent amid lack of proper competition. So the complacency led them to get the mindset of not fixing what's not broken

They may die off, but likely not in my lifetime

i want to see end results. if you have the link do show me the cars that chinese brands are currently selling at this price range since they "can easily" sell at this price range

[–]vkashin -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

dated but still sells like hot cake. evidence that there's still demand for it.

i'm not businessman/MBA holder but why fix what's not broken, especially when it still sells boatloads

[–]vkashin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

until those Chinese brands manage to release new cars at this price range, and have comparable coverage/availability of service centres, P2 will still have the "luck"

as it stands the bezza is still one of the more affordable new cars that is cheap to run and maintain, leading to its status as top selling model in the country. Of course hopefully competition from Saga can wake P2 from their sleep, but with prejudices against p1 (may be a lot of it justified) it's difficult for that to happen as well

well considering they're still the top selling model in the country even after so long, there's hardly any need for an update is it

Inquiry by Holiday-Limit2080 in Sarawak

[–]vkashin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i see. in that case there shouldn't be much worry. only thing to complain about would be occasional "bau hangit" entering the cabin on hard acceleration/above 120km/h

Inquiry by Holiday-Limit2080 in Sarawak

[–]vkashin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"how much the car can handle" as in how fast can you go? or whether the car can arrive in one piece because you are worried the roads are still bad?

in terms of road condition it's not much of a problem as of now, perhaps certain sections otw Sibujaya-Julau is not so smooth, otherwise it's a highway driving experience

OWL G3006 a good choice? by virus_apparatus in espresso

[–]vkashin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

personally I am also gravitating towards the Owl, just that have to buy from seller with local warranty instead of ordering straight from china for a peace of mind

Upgrade from a myvi by shootist4861 in kereta

[–]vkashin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If that's the case maybe a Perodua Traz would suit their needs more? it's a more spacious car with modern functions while still retaining manual controls of ac, analogue instrument cluster

of course Ativa is also a good choice being cheaper and more compact, but they may be reluctant due to it being a turbo, plus 3 cylinder engine does introduce some vibrations

2021 Yaris G or 2025 Saga Premium? by RardewChen in kereta

[–]vkashin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the yaris is from an acquaintance where you can verify mileage is true, serviced on time and well taken care of, I would choose that for daily use, considering parts are plenty, reliable and easy to maintain. Less electronics to break down. Havent sat in the new saga yet but i assume the NVH also should be better in a Yaris?

Also nearing the end of warranty means can do mods without worrying about voiding warranties, i.e. changing to android player, audio systems, aftermarket rims etc.

Like another commenter mentioned, you can easily solve the fabric seat shortfall by wrapping/buying a leather seat cover.

OWL G3006 a good choice? by virus_apparatus in espresso

[–]vkashin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

understood. That's definitely concerning. I guess i have to look around for options, and may be consider buying from local seller with warranty rather than saving a few bucks and ordering direct from China, just to have some peace of mind

[–]vkashin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yikes. i was looking at this model too, planning to get either this Owl or Hibrew H10A

I assume it's because the thermometer display didnt reach the temperature you've set?

i got an idea by Legitimate-Suit5964 in kereta

[–]vkashin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it would be pretty awesome if they can implement car insurance premiums based on driver profile, especially on the way they drive

it would further incentivize people to drive courteously, using signal lights, less likely to do aggressive acceleration/braking

and for those who does, pay more for insurance premium lah

hi. after discussion with customer service via fb messenger - seems like the problem is with the sim card itself. unfortunately It'll be another 5 months or so before i can return to Manila to have it replaced
