		<description>Correct! Tax too high and never revise Income Tax to lower down the tax rate or adjust anything... now car price increase, petrol increase, daily stuff price also increase but never see it decrease after that...

sekiranya saya membuat pinjaman kereta dengan kerajaan RM65k dan RM23888 lagi pinjaman yg dibuat dengan Toyota Coperation...adakah menimbulkan masalah dan tidak dibenarkan?</description>

		<description>I think you all people are forgotting something. What ever you all say, people still buy with no worries. All things nowadays are lousy. Forget about those imported cars. They can be as good or as bad. I got 1 malaysian made car for 9 years. It still serve me good. I guess you people aren&#039;t lucky as I am.</description>

		<description>Do not buy a Toyota car.... Lousy service and lousy car.

I bought a Toyota 2nd hand Altis 1.8G year 2007 from a 2nd hand car dealer. By right I still entitle to have 1.5 years of warranty, right? You know something, I have made a few complaints, they are:

(a) Driver side rubber strip at car roof top flew off when driving on highway, nearly hit other people&#039;s car. The passenger side roof top rubber strip also deformed. Toyota&#039;s mechanic said cannot repair unless I pay, because I am a 2nd car owner. What a nonsense!!! Who is the car owner, is not important to Toyota. So long as the damage is due to reason other than vandalism, it should be repaired!!! Somemore, cannot imgine if the rubber strip hit on someone&#039;s car, what will happen. Maybe the windscreen also break. Driving at 120km/hr on the highway, you know!!!

(b) Chrome strip surrounding the back glass screen peeled off also refuse to do, say that I have to pay!!! 

Nonsense Toyota!!! What is the difference to you between 1st and 2nd owner??? So long as the warranty is valid, you have to repair. So long as you can prove is vandalism or cause by ownself, you have to repair!!!

Toyota mechanic very hard working nowadays, want to get good bonus.</description>

		<description>This thread may have long been over, but well, In case some eager buyers are still eyeing the Rush; Im in Japan and I&#039;ve been driving a G version Rush(spoiler, alum wheel, high end steering and tilt-on-reverse side mirror) for 2 years now. For clarification; Toyota Rush and Daihatsu Bego are from the same house - Daihatsu. Just like the Materia or Coo, everything is engineered and built by Daihatsu. But instead of losing value the Daihatsu fingerprint is an added plus because it made possible to squeeze in space on a compact SUV - which Daihatsu is famous for - compact cars. Toyota rebadged the Matria and Rush but the point really is to show sister companies are one and the same quality. 

The exterior is exactly the same, except longer of course and the colors I wish would include the platinum grey, which I think most would prefer than silver or bright catterpillar green (hopefully u wont have this there). The interiors are not the same though, I&#039;ve never seen it in beige or pale grey. 
The rugged effect of black and silver (standard on all Japan version) was missing, and that&#039;s sad coz it was a good selling point. Did someone alter it along the way?     

So on with the car. With a 7 seater powered by the same horses that work very hard under the 4, well, we may be talking major underpower here. I&#039;m single, no family, and I drive my car alone to work eeveryday. It jumps like a rabbit on first and second gear but when the third gear kicks in, we start to crawl on an incline. add 4 passengers and it totally feels different, needing to step more on the gas. Now I really cant imagine how that would be when you have twice the number of weight. 

My kilometer reading says 8.4km per liter , thats city driving of maybe 1 hr a day. Again, if this Rush will ride 7 passengers, that km/l reading will definitely go down. And you have a 1.5cc underpowered guzzler. 

I love the Rush. It looks great, I can park beside more expensive cars and not feel inferior or something, interior is good, lotsa compartments to put your junk in, collapsible seats provide even bigger space for something as big as a mountain bike (on a 4 seater) it is tall, muscular, a bit underpowered but they dont really know that, its turning radius makes it easy to park and it rides well (just make sure you hinge something on the spare tire cover, stupid thing rattles). But again, the 7 seater will be a different story once you start filling those seats. I will suggest that you test drive it with your entire family on board if that is your intention for buying the car.</description>

		<description>I drive a Singapore Toyota Rush that&#039;s imported from Japan. I must say the interior of the JDM Rush looks better, especially the plastic door panel and steering wheel. However, I like the gated gear shift of the Malaysia Rush, which is not available for JDM Rush.

Proton&#039;s quality problem weren&#039;t serious until TM&#039;s time. That&#039;s also wen Proton went mad n made models which majority Msians won&#039;t fancy ie hatchbacks.

Besides, their current MD, Syed Zainal was from P2. He&#039;s doin to Proton wit wat he learnt in P2. Considerin he&#039;s been in Proton since late 2005, Proton today is much better, to an extend for him to say that ppl can expect very high quality Proton 2-3yrs from now.</description>

		<description>A blind toyota fan?? Seen Rush anyway..well i guess u dont know about toyota history n heritage..they have been producing cars with good n reliable quality but nowdays its like their playing we malaysians out..of course we malaysians must fight n bash if we are not happy n been offer with inferior products!!..almost everyone here comment badly about RUSH..but i guess we cannot really blame toyota..the goverment tax structure play a role in determine car prices..to make car affordable to malaysians toyota have to cut cost here n there..so i guess is the consumer choice..but seriously RUSH is not their best product..95K..tambah sikit better get INNOVA..2.0L somemore n bigger..:)

p/s:get urself a toyota next time duwitakada n u will know the REAL TOYOTA(malaysia)..(im sure ur national car is a better in someway)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A blind toyota fan?? Seen Rush anyway..well i guess u dont know about toyota history n heritage..they have been producing cars with good n reliable quality but nowdays its like their playing we malaysians out..of course we malaysians must fight n bash if we are not happy n been offer with inferior products!!..almost everyone here comment badly about RUSH..but i guess we cannot really blame toyota..the goverment tax structure play a role in determine car prices..to make car affordable to malaysians toyota have to cut cost here n there..so i guess is the consumer choice..but seriously RUSH is not their best product..95K..tambah sikit better get INNOVA..2.0L somemore n bigger..:)</p>
<p>p/s:get urself a toyota next time duwitakada n u will know the REAL TOYOTA(malaysia)..(im sure ur national car is a better in someway)<br />

		<description>Though I can only afford a national car, it makes me sad to read all these bashing on Toyota. While condemning the RUSH, all I hear here is ...I guess...I think....I assume...etc. Let me just ask, how many of u guys have actually seen it, or even testdrived it? None! U all just read or hear about it, look at pictures, then all the bashing! What is wrong with marrying a SUV and MPV?  Livina is a result of a SEDAN and MPV though to me it is actually a highroofed stationwagon. They are creative lot of people, to come out with something from the best of both world. And what is wrong with 1.5 engine? Their engineers must have been doing some calculation to know and approved that. Technology improves, smaller cc does not always mean underpower. Look at the new Stream. They use 1.8 engine and yet it is still powerful than their 2.0 predecessor. Heard of VVTI, VTEC etc? Toyota may try to cut cost on the interior but this is to give consumer better technology. It is not easy to build a brand that ppl can trust and rely on. Toyota have to sweat it out a hundred years to come at this stage. Compare with our national maker, only after more than 20 yrs, now only they are talking about quality. So it is really not about badge. It is about what they have done to build ppl trust.</description>

		<description>Oh God....This car is really ugly...really cheap interior and not really reliable from a safety perspective as compared to the Livina. I would go for the Livina and I believe much more quality &amp; safety has been incorporated in the MPV as compared to rush. Price wise a 1.6 Livina will only cost you somewhere around 91+K which I believe is a value buy.

Just a gentle word, We consumers aren&#039;;t stupid TOYOTA !</description>

		<description>Just like you, it&#039;s great to know that we are beginning to experience &quot;the awakening&quot;, where we are now able to express our dissatisfaction on being treated cheaply n lightly, rather than being is self denial n say &quot;it can&#039;t be, it&#039;s T mah.....of cuz gud car&quot;. Even when it costs a mansion to buy, as ugly as a bulldog, n as cheaply made as cap ayam mp3 player. Although, I hv to say, newer cap ayam mp3 players more pandai tiru ipod...
----------------------
@johanbey

6. If you really call youself a car enthusiat, can you try to understand then appriciate every car (including the tata nano) for its purposed to be created before making senseless and shallow comments?

&gt;&gt;&gt;Yes, I know. I suppose the manager once wake up n thought &quot;hey, we have vely faithfur yes-men Maraysian market, I wonder if next time we wanna tour there, we can show our investols that we are so powerfur the ppl there would buy our cars rike buying pewter knife handicraft. That&#039;ll be better for our plofit n ross a/c statement.&quot;

And so it happen. This rush serves no purpose of being an SUV, neither it can be a better ppl carrier than Avanza. It&#039;s in between, it&#039;s half-hearted, n yet it&#039;s so much more friggin expensive. If one can still not see the motive, then one must be dimwit enuf to buy it.</description>

I hv to say, I agree wit u abt it&#039;s our ppl&#039;s fautl that we n Indonesia &quot;sold&quot; ourselves too much to T. It&#039;s like seeing a hot waitress who&#039;s being too nice, the customer begins to assault her sexually, bt she can&#039;t resist. Surely, we being the harrassed &quot;waitress&quot; would dislike the way the &quot;customer&quot; is treating us, bt what can we do?</description>

		<description>-1.5l underpower?so many avanza owner wonâ€™t be wrongâ€¦

&gt;&gt;&gt;Of course they&#039;re not wrong, cuz it comes from THEIR OWN mouth!! However, it&#039;s not rly a big problem to them, cuz they&#039;re not gonna thrash it aroun Sepang or sumthin.

90% Avanza owners must&#039;ve been family men/women who needs to transport their valuable families safely, not fastly. Too bad that shud they were tempted to overtake a kancilution, they dun hv the power to do it, that&#039;s all.

On that note, being underpowered isn&#039;t rly a minus point at all for MPVs. Besides, Avanza&#039;s body just doesn&#039;t look like it was designed to go anywhere above 130kmph. It&#039;s just too tall n fugly.</description>

		<description>1)change the interior to black or dark grey. No way for cream for sporty vehicle-la!!
2) take out the manual shifter of air-intake at centre console (the horinzontal stuff that put it right in the centre below the aircond vent)
3) make integrated fm/cd player
4) take off the last role (like CRV), and replace the rest with leather seat. 5 seater would be VERY VERY good enough.

I would buy if those 4 criteria met!!!</description>

		<description>&quot;they use us because they know we will buy because of the badge not the carâ€¦why people blaming our own countrymen or indonesian for a greedy jap faultsâ€¦huh so lameâ€¦&quot;

- So what&#039;s your point. This is the problem. Never admit self-weaknesses but put the shite on others. Now try to blame the Japs for giving you this inferior model? instead of reckoning why they dump this kind of car at only two countries in the first place,... which seemingly deserve it due to those countrymen mentality.

You said it&#039;s the fault of greedy Japs, no they are not greedy, but they are opportunist and analyst. Hey look at the bigger picture dude. They&#039;re talking about business here man. Do you think this kind of car can make way through Europe or America. Not a chance man. Why those nations get the best creams and top of the range models. Hey i don&#039;t have to go far..do you think Toyota will put this &#039;crap&#039; on sale in Singapore ?? Think again man !! Demographic characteristic of one nation reflects all. 

That&#039;s why in my previous post, i noted there&#039;s an inclination of people here to change for the better and it&#039;s a good sign. It&#039;s the people here that got to change first before you can throw stones to others and calling them greedy or faulty. 

UMWT and Astra, hah practically same... But can you think clearly who suits the character of greedy most, is it UMWT/Astra or Toyota. Toyota is a true car manufacturer and producer, while UMWT/Astra ? 
They&#039;re making monies just like this... tapping you fingers.</description>

		<description>OK... so this how the Avanza looks like with an SUV shell over it. So... what&#039;s the point, Toyota? Nice shell but the interior is so low rent it&#039;s a real turn-off.

I&#039;m really interested to see how many Malaysians will actually buy into this SUV &quot;lifestyle&quot; story.</description>

		<description>Although I&#039;m driving a T car, but this new T Rush is rather disappointing in terms of engine capacity, interior, price and safety issues. A very sad/sick product from T badge.</description>
