I own a kangoo and the servicing always cost me a bomb since there is always something to replace. Further more they do not have a proper place to file your complaints. Makes them very non-transparent. So stay clear from Tan Chong Motors and Renault. Better to invest in Toyota/Honda.

Using the VW Golf GTi as a reference point; Golf GTi = £21,000 approx (in the UK); RM200,000 approx (in Malaysia) Megane F1 R26 = £20,000 approx (in the UK); RM250,000 approx (in Malaysia) Clio F1 R27 = £17,000 approx (in the UK); RM220,000 approx (in Malaysia) Bear in mind that the Renault Clio is competing with the VW Polo. Whereas the Renault Megane competes in the same segment as the VW Golf. Ok, I just did a bit of research and this is what I got.

The Clio is a smaller model and doesn't compete with the Golf. The Megane competes with the Golf and in the UK, the Megane R26 is around the same price bracket as the Golf GTi. The Clio RS (I suppose it is either the Cup or the R27) is several thousand Pounds cheaper than the Golf GTi. I think the culprit here maybe the AP (Approved Permit) bullshit. I'm just speculating here, but I believe Tan Chong being a non-bumi company, with no Ali Baba connections, doesn't get free APs. Therefore, they had to buy the APs from the jokers who get APs for free. And therefore they have to include that cost into the price itself. And if you take that into account, then the pricelist becomes less ridiculous. I believe it's just like the situation that Mazda have with their cars in Malaysia, which are just more expensive than their competitors by a good margin. lchan is right.

It is because of this naive mentality that the clio RS and Megane R26 becomes expensive. This same thinking has made the R32 priced against the bmw 130i, which is stupid. The clio is to polo and megane is to golf. you do not pip a car based on it’s horsepower. It is because of this naive mentality that the clio RS and Megane R26 becomes expensive.
