AI-generated Summary ✨
The comments primarily focus on the recent price reductions of UMW Toyota models after GST implementation, with some expressing skepticism about the actual size of the reduction, suggesting it should be closer to 4%. Many highlight the lack of advanced safety features like VSC and multiple airbags on models such as Vios and Camry, noting that these omissions make the vehicles less safe and affecting sales negatively. Several commenters criticize UMW for perceived overpricing, poor safety standards, and poor customer treatment, including sarcastic remarks about sales techniques. There is also disappointment that prices for certain models have increased despite the supposed discounts, with some calling for boycotts and supporting competitors like Honda and Hyundai, which offer more safety features at similar or lower prices. Overall, the sentiment is largely critical of UMW’s pricing strategies and product safety standards.
