Some of the korean cars r good but the downside is low 2nd hand value. My bro in law wanted to sell his 2 year-old Kia Spectra but no dealer want it. Sigh, my wife just bought Atos.

the hyundai ‘accident’ thats what jeremy clarkson calls it. its an ok car, but i wont buy it la. i rather buy a waja than an accent.

i heard too many horror stories from friends who buy hyundais. Mainly quality problems, and after a couple of years, they have trouble selling the cars, as the 2nd hand prices have really taken a beating.

Wahlaueh…

kancildriver, thx 4 ur point of views. it is a bit better quality & also like paul said… it is not ‘potong’ product & worth a try. If i am a new car owner, i may go for ASCENT also. Already try 2 WIRA… one fr. my father sedan wira, one is my current Aeroback wira… Sedan is better free from back ‘chit chit’ sound. I dun believe it as my friend said Aeroback give more sounds at back of the car… now i really regret… to follow my friend advise. GO Hyundai!!

I drive accent. My brother drives wira. We always tukar2 for fun. My verdict……

wira:- feels like driving an assembly of numerous components.

accent:- feels like driving a one-piece car.

anyway historically, accent was developed based on lancer also. You can find some component match wira……… just that the built quality is better. only lacking thing is the plastic interior.

E-Nabill: of course the wira is better. i hate the interior colour scheme and general feel of the accent. too cheap. however it doesn’t change the fact that the market likes it just because it’s not a Proton.

P1 need to close down or go focus on oversea markets since cannot survive in own core markets.

What mean by “tah pao”? I guess P1 should have earn more.. just look at VIOS what is equipped and its original price. P1 don’t even have such feature but price is so high, translate into to earning. Even then its lossing market .

Wahlaueh…

VIOS & CITY ~60k…. ‘MOH HOH NANG!!!’ (impossible) in short term… i means this few years… remember new NAP still stated G wants to protect the pity infant(P1), If VIOS & CITY ~60k then ASCENT will more cheaper… then WIRA can ‘tah pao’. P1 need to close down or go focus on oversea markets since cannot survive in own core markets.

i checked vios price at show room here, RM75-76k for low end model . And AVEO, they switched back to old prices to RM70k. I guessing all this new prices is more like discount price that already offer even before the current NAP thing.
