Talk, why do you buy Continental cars

[subsonique]

way to go tom, hehe. and the growls of an italian babe, haaa only god knows how.

 

[Bert]

Why I got my car?

- It was cheap (Cost vs benefit issue)
- It is safer (4 airbags and ABS... No other 1.6 has such features!!!)
- It is built better
- It is rare
- Parts are not that expesnsive compared to BMW's and Alfa's
- Reliable
- Rare again... Dont want to wind up looking like the car next to me.

Well... Its a nicer car than my Waja albeit older. Better too.

 

[subsonique]

hey bert, what's your ride babe? the one which has less expensive parts then alfa or fiat. yours must be one of the VAGs?

 

[Bert]

actually if nicely calculated, euro parts are cheaper, in sense of it durability and long lasting period. you see, we may have to change the suspension which may cost around rm1.5k per full complete set, as opposed to rm600 for locally made ones. reason being is due to the fact that it last so much longer and we may not be changing em for the next 6 years or so. correct me if i am wrong.

100% agree with sub posting with regards to conti.

If one is looking for a workhorse car that's cheap to maintain and keeps on running and running like those duracell ad, it's Nissan Sunny. :P Forget about the rattles and other noises, it's the cheapness and reliability that I'm talking about. :P

:D you can always drive a beat-up conti and park it smack rite in front of the hotel...and nobody will blink an eye....try parking a mod-up iswara wif rm10k modification underneath the bonnet,another rm25k for the ICE,another rm7k for the leather interior and the works...ppl stare at you like the car is simply not worth it to be parked there...my iswara is more expensive than my bimmer that's a fact but the bimmer gives me confidence......errr...not that i have all the mods..just an example aahhh :rolleyes:

hehe chick magnet alright, but hey, no matter whichever you have, whether locals, jdm or euros, as long as it looks super good, do expect some lovely chicas by the driver's side. hehe seen it and it's pretty much so true.
