LOL, then that will be worse than now. Petrol 2 times cheaper than now but salary is almost 2.5 times lower...

Interior also stock. But was actually quite tempted to do some mods on engine and mechanical parts... Not high performance stuff, but probably things that is at a higher quality than stock parts.

but property, makan, rental all more than 2x..... i think its alot more than 2x... owai.........

wana sumbat some mechanical stuff... go ahead hehe..... grind the intake, exhaust.... lightened pulley, flywheel, shortshifter........

Property price of course more than 2x already. At the rate this is going, I really wonder if something like an asset price bubble collapse happens, what will the consequences be.


Will find a better alternatives for these parts when they broke down. Otherwise, keep it as it is for now. Thinking of adjustables too because the current suspension is already reaching it's lifespan. Don't feel like changing back to stock. Shortshifter maybe is not necessary because Wira shifter is already quite short?

adjustables..... just dong go too hard, backside sakit nanti.
and a shortshifter doesnt make the shifter 'shorter' it makes the throw shorter... wira punya throw, not exactly short

Powerful plastic card ehh?? Hehehe....
Enjoy first, cry later.
I've been through that...now family first.
Bank hate me...wahahaha

dont forget that the majority of cases of brankruptcy in Mesia is due to uncontroalble credit card spendings.....on car-related matters.

Fresh graduates now mau gaya, mutu and keunggulan.....so, they hantam credit card......then cannot pay......bank hantam back them until bankrupt...


My unker fren said his fresh-grad son is asking for a brand new honda civic for his daily ride, because this is the impression of Uni grad should be wor.....

 

[sweelt]

ehh banks should looove you!!!

Ya lah bro, no more cincai spend using cards, unless emergency. Bank tak da untung. Hahaha...
Sometimes I see people using card to pay kfc, pizza, starbuks...etc. My bad, if they wanna earn points.
For fast food, I prefer cash.

Nowadays graduates should realize that mindset is only good in 1984 and before..IMHO best thing to do is to buy second hand car with low price and learn as much as possible about cars so that you can diagnose and even fix minor problems by your self. My trusty old saga taught me a lot of valuable knowledge about driveshafts, carbs, window mechanisms, steering rack, suspension, rust fixing and prevention..etc..

i supposed youngsters today not so interested with cars, and getting their hand dirty. They prefer comfy-comfy and gadgets in their hand....

I think I have some crazy idea but it probably sounds ridiculous if I choose to do so... Get a dual flow valve adjustable like Ohlins DFV... I know they cost like RM10k?

In my house, Wira's throw is the shortest compared to Saga Iswara and Myvi manual. Myvi's shifting feel is the worse... Doesn't feel smooth. At least it is still a manual though.

Nowadays I'm always driving Myvi whenever I'm fetching my grandparents. They said Wira is too low and difficult for them to get in and out from the car. After days of driving Myvi and switching back to Wira, I know how much better Wira felt compared to Myvi.

I don't see the point of credit card at all... Isn't paying by cash better and got more 'gaya' like you said? You got real cash in hand, not a card...

Old cars and even lower tier cars don't appeal to most youngsters. I can see it in some of my friends because I'm in that age group.

My friend who just got his job 2 months ago told me that he wants to consider buying HR-V or CX-3 as first car... What the.... I did remind him many times that it is not easy to take care of such cars especially for fresh grad... Just yearly insurance already come up to RM3.9k and roadtax is like RM430....

Start new job want new car......lol

 

[ken yeang]

Fresh grad starts new job..... a (new) car is a must for them to go to work....unlikely to be tinkering with it, except when kena poison at zth.

I just to know that my retired unker neighbor gonna buy his fresh grad son a new HRV woh. His son said there are already too many honda civic on the road. Not best loh. So, this is his choice.......while the father drives an old Perdana.

Youngsters today feeling so entitled....

 

[sweelt]

Drive "only". The rest neighbor unkle settle all....service, washing, insurance...etc.
Like my neighbor unkle also. Son around, but father wash his car. What the....??

Yes i still drive 25 year old junk, but works really well though. In fact every feature on my saga works, except low fuel warning indicator.
