RM112.80

Honda Civic 8th 2.0 depreciate 20k for the 1st year.
My family’s Accord 2.4 04 only worth RM100k after these years.
Don’t buy any car if you’re so scared to loss money.
Proton Tiara might suit you because 2nd hand value is only a few thousand ringgit and let’s say you get rid of it after a few months, it still worth few thousand :p

I don’t get any servicing plan like the Honda’s when I purchased the Sonata NF. And I don’t get it why must I sell the car after the servicing plan. I can afford the service. It’s cheap also. I have experiences with UMW Toyota SC, Hyumal Hyundai SC & EON Mitsubishi SC and I found that Hyundai is one of the fastest and cheapest to service. Jalan 217 Toyota SC made me waited 5 bloody hours for the car to be ready with appointment made few days before I went. Bloody UMW.

With the 2nd hard car market so bad, nothign with a big engine gets good residuals.

Even the 2.0 Accord looses nearly 10k per year. Or why not the perenial favourite, the Alfa and Volvo, both looses about 20-30k per year (and that is average, dep for first 3 years is even higher). Even BMWs are getting hit.

Hyundai’s depreciation is high for the first 3 years (due to close pricing with proton), after of which it flattens out.

But Getz engine is 1.4 and vios is 1.5 i.e bigger engine
___

C’mon la, the vios is slightly bigger engine pulling a lighter body. you are trying to say the vios is good in FC ? At this weight and engine size the power to weight ratio is just borderline( more advantage to vios), therefore a slightly bigger/more poerful engine will improve FC. eg: gen2 1.6 is more fuel efficient than 1.3 and myvi 1.3 better FC than 1.0.
I doubt that u r a doctor at all…ppl like you just like to listen to wat the toyota salesman say without checking out facts 1st.

talking bout residuals…..go get a house then. prefer a car with strong residuals? go get a kancil. or a second hand kancil. no car above 2.0 liter class has strong residuals.

its look like em…..

no one the same…..

more ‘orang tua’ looking la……..

bulky front grille…………..

previous one is better……….

wood grain garnish on steering and dashboard?????

and gear stick???………..look dull dude…..

BETTER PUT THE SILVER THAN ODD LOOKING FAKE WOOD

Wahh!! 11.5km/L . 2000cc…fuel saving huh!!

IsaacVky,
RM112 for service? Even proton costs more than that to service. Is it a DIY or is it a promotional thing. What happen after that? Unless you are super rich, I’m sure you bought yours on hire purchase, minimum 4 yrs payment. Is the plan going to cover all these yrs for servicing. I know we don’t make money from cars, but we would prefer a car with strong residuals don’t we? Say, at 3 yrs the servicing plan ran out and you want to change your car. You would be thinking about residuals won’t you?

vios tank is 42L but the old model weights about 100kg less than the getz. car category has got nearly nothing to do with FC ( unless you are referring to Cd….but the effect is almost negligible since both cars Cd not much of difference ). FC more related to weight though.

anyway, back to topic. they “transformed” and improved the interior and engine so much but the exterior design does indeed seem a step backward……looks like the current facelifted elantra (front view). If only they left the front design untouched or do only minor changes then it would have been a perfect job.

nmh, that’s very stereotypical of you.

Have you seen the Kyron’s facelift? Did they ruin it? Nope, I don’t think so.

but they’ve certainly ruined the Rexton’s facelift.

Thirsty. Expensive to service. Poor residuals. Hate Hyundai

i believe you are referring to all hyundai cars.

you must be still living in the 90s. My hyundai getz 1.4 can travel much further than my brother’s lighter vios in a single tank of petrol averaging about 500km on mix 50-50 city/highway driving.

most new hyundais are equipped with FC meter to show you if it really is thirsty or not.

btw, sweetsorrow.mp3? hahahaha

ps: d gurl is cute~

paul u gonna do a story on the new accent soon? they’ve just launched it and the 1.6 version with CVVT costing 73k looks interestingly good value, kinda curious about it…

I believe Hyundai is now getting better with their engines. Previously their engines have gotten some help from Mitsubishi. Now their very own new CVVT engines are proven to be more fuel efficient.
