JKay,

it seems your are more interested in power. in that case just go for the subaru S204. i'm not sure about the price though, but most probably will be around the RM200k figure.

mostly more than rm250k

Just an update for you guys/girls. Maybe, just maaaaybe, I might have a bigger budget. If my budget is bigger then I will think again (GTR 34??), but if budget remains the same, then i think definately will go for Subaru Impreza Version 9.
I love the Turbo in that car!!

benz SLK!!!

benz SLK!!!

The old shape SLK (R170) doesnt have good handling due to recirculating ball steering, making steering feel very uninspiring in my opinion. Anyything newer, ie R171 SLK will be way out of my price range :)

S2K interiors are nice and handles very well in cornering. Low end power sucks really bad but after 6000rpm, VTEC will scream and a lot of power up to 8800 rpm. But I don't like the suspension.. very stiff. But its very fast.

IMO... in the order of preference.
1- Evo 9 MR (very comfortable + power is there but cannot feel it)
2- Sti ver 9 (suspension very hard but power is more than EVO 9 MR)
3- R34 GTR (not the GTS-T version) <- lot of power potential
4- Civic Type R ( JDM 4 door, new 2008 model)
5- 350Z coupe (Very nice looks)
6- S2K
7- Civic Type R (2 door ep3) <- suspension too soft compared to honda line ups
7- Integra Type R (DC5) <- suspension too hard but too heavy but EP3 has very nice interior compare to DC5

I've driven all this car before because all my friend has them. So i know how each individual car feels except for the R34..

haha...how bout BMW 330 Ci cabriolet?there is 1 selling at motortrader at RM175k

Thanks D-IV. :)

Hey 5115, maybe my budget can stretch higher depending on one or 2 things. I have asked my local car dealer to see how much it will be if they import me a BMW E46 M3 from Japan.

I saw in KL, they are seling a 2003 unregistered car for RM275k Negotiable, so if my car guy here can get me one for around RM260++, I think I may get it. Fingers crossed.

He D-IV, just out of curiosity, what makes you prefer the EVO to the STi V9? I know all this is down to personal preference, but was just interested in your own reasons.
Thanks

 

[D-IV]

Why EVO over the Sti?... Pretty much a close match but below are the personal reasons..

1- I'm not fond of the intermittent exhaust sound of the STi.
2- Ride comfort of the EVO excels over the STi on the streets.
3- Hard cornering ability, I will put my trust on the EVO anyday~

I might be biased though but i'm trying my best not to be coz I've own an EVO before. But i've also driven STi's a lot of times already. My brother owns one.

 

[expenditious]

evo hands down haha...evo 9...if daily driven...evo9 would be a good bet..
