[AR_one]

hello... anybody can help me to decide which car is good... i want to buy whether proton satria 1.3 or mazda astina 1.6 1992....?

 

[SkYwAlKeR]

if can try get satria 1.6... satria gti is too prone to break ins... satria 1.3 or 1.5 is a little under power...

astina depreciation value drop like no man business....but, its a great car & can do B6t & Bpt180/Bdp210 conversion, huge trunk, 4 doors & what is cool is when you sit, its very low, much lower than my ef9 junk. Satria to me a to common(no offence), why not be different.

only person who drive astina know what is best thing about astina...

 

[AR_one]

do you get 1 astina?
what ur opinion about that car?

 

[ahmadrico]

yes, actually it's my mum's...
in standard condition..with proper maintenance, u can actually cruising 160kmh without problems (my experience)..
the power window, wheel bearing, etc can last for 15 years without any problems..sparepart still foundable..

downside
appearence maybe is out of trends nowadays, but u will be different bro...heheh (popup eye)

now the car is installed with bpt and i'm very happy with it,,, reliable n great...

from my experience, there were no major problem i've faced since i owned it in 1992...since u mentioned 1992 (17 years old) astina, should the major maintenance had been done by previous owner (full aircond check, major overhauled, etc).. just be extra alert for the cooling system, lubrication system and wear n tare part (actually, it is normal maintenance component)

n by the way...join killerbees, u'll get more info there...heheh..

hihi.. when i get my astina i will join the killerbees club... :)
