Default Perodua Nautica... The ideal 4wd?

Hey guys

as we all know, perodua have just recently launched their latest addition to their line of [COLOR=blue! important][FONT=verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif][COLOR=blue! important][FONT=verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif]compact [/font][COLOR=blue! important][FONT=verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif]cars[/font][/color][/font][/color][/color]... only this time it isnt really compact...

But of course comparisons will be drawn between the toyota rush and the perodua [COLOR=blue! important][FONT=verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif][COLOR=blue! important][FONT=verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif]nautica[/font][/font][/color][/color] but what do you guys think?

i know some people who are planning to get something within that price range..

RM90k....

Pros and cons anybody?

i personally feel that this is a decent and pretty bold step for perodua to have taken. Breaking out of their cheap compact car category and coming up with something slightly more upmarket... IMHO...

Wadaya think?

In Japan this is a pretty outdated model i think, for RM90K might as well save your cash n get a Mitsu Triton since you already opt for a 4wd,might as well get something solid that can do real off-road if you fancy one. Otherwise, i don see the point of driving a underpower 4wd around time, the fc is not good n in long term wise its too costly the fc..

its a stupid price tag for a local brand... i would have better bought a rush rather than nautica.....

4wd??... yes, all time 4wd.... if u really wannna do true offroad, get land cruiser...

Yea it is a variant of the Terios in Japan... But heck, the Rush was only just launched here... almost all our cars are outdated compared to their launch dates in japan..sometimes singapore etc...

But that aside...

If u looking at a triton..thats a different category already right..
The nautica is definitely a better urban/city commute than the triton...considering its mass and all... but of course the triton will outdo to the nautica off road... but honestly, no ones tried it yet so whos to say?

but i agree that the triton is the tougher car... but at the price of its size and weight...

and the tritons fuel consumption isnt say fantastic either... unless u referring to the diesel variant...at least i think theres a diesel version of the triton.

i need more feedback here before my mind is made up...

Skywalker..

But the Nautica is a Toyota!! just rebadged as a perodua...

And im sure u know..

The nautica is assembled in Japan...rebadged in malaysia.

The Rush is assembled in Indonesia...

This doesnt mean either one is of lower quality right?

Landcruisers are of totally different class of vehicles la...
But the perodua was never made to be an all out 4wd...its a urban/city commute as well... considering its size, i think its more ideal than the Landcruiser right?

I've test driven one and i must admit..i was skeptical at first, but its a pretty decent car... spacious inside as well...

But im still weighing the pros and cons la...

Dougster

Actually all go back to your preference, for RM90k u can choose Triton or Nautica. Triton is more high tech n toughness as well as its overall worthiness beside the fc issue. Nautica is no where near Triton.
