if you think KIA are ripping off the user...ten what about proton...mahathir has been ripping off the rakyat for years.because of proton invention the other quality models are priced at higher price and many malaysiasian are forced to buy ripp off shitty cars like proton.
evern serving proton is not cheap...the slit your throat al well.
I am kia user...I love kia cars...optima K5...awesome car...not like anyother proton cars....
Kia/Hyundai service is indeed not cheap as said by many before till date...
Even so, Proton cars is not as bad as what some of you think...All cars has it own problems...
they have improved a lot over the years if we were to look back at the 1st few
batch of protons...I used to bash proton as well until I come to an understanding
about proton more and can see the improvement till date.
Why nobody bash Toyota when Toyota had once have problems with their new
camry and altis? Why no one condemned Honda, when their cars have problems?
Why only when Proton has some problems, then ppl seems to focus more on it?
Bias? or just cuz is buatan Malaysia or just cuz what others says about Proton, we do
the same...? Monkey See, Monkey Do? Ever thought of reading up yourself and judge?
Well, real life example on opinions/thoughts of some:
Brand T Owner:
Oh the new models accelerator got problem.."maybe just a few model la, is normal la..."
When it comes to hearing problems of Proton...
Brand T Owner:
"Don't buy proton la, Proton is a stupid model! Power window got problem, always rosak"
Get the picture? Go figure...
If were to compare, a few Proton models are much better than Kia/Hyundai cars.
The newer models I'm not so sure. Even in terms of FC is much better than the spectra
which is well-known for drinking fuel like water and other sorts of problems which non
have ever raise much.
Thanks to Lotus, their handling for Proton is much better than many other
well-known imported brands..
1 thing I do agree is the tax on imported cars is indeed ridiculous. Well, what to do?
We live in Malaysia, we have to accept the fact that we have to pay for the extra tax charges...
Anyway, I would say all brands are trying to improve day by day.
Cheers!~
