AI-generated Summary ✨
The comments mostly revolve around skepticism about the actual price reductions of Perodua cars post-GST, with many feeling the discounts are minimal or deceptive. Some express frustration over perceived profiteering, high margins, and lack of safety features like VSC, especially in lower-end models like the Axia. There’s criticism of the government and manufacturers for claiming significant savings while consumers might end up paying more due to additional costs and inflation. Several commenters also lament the safety neglect, advocating for better safety features and better value for money. Off-topic remarks and personal opinions about car brands and government policies are prevalent, but the core sentiment is disappointment and distrust in the perceived transparency of price reductions and safety commitments.
