Choices of cars to buy?

[Supra_Fanatics]

izso...yeah my dream family car would be a camry or mazda 6. ...1 generation before the new model....but dunno when can afford it..

My family dream car would be the Lexus IS-F

The new mazda 6 is real good though...looks better than the old one. The front looks a bit like
the Mazda Shinari Concept car. Seems they are heading to that concept direction.

which head?

Uh... Saturday la taiko. I'm going Saturday. And if you're thinking of poisoning me with a Jetta forget it. I'm not a fan of even the Passat CC. GTI is not bad but these cars are all kinda erm... I don't know how to describe it. Just not my cup of tea. Great cars no doubt, but doesn't make me wake up and oogle. The Polo Sedan isn't an exception. Just that compared to the rest of the selection it's that much more exciting.

Sigh. The biggest issue I have seriously speaking is choosing one that is my wife-friendly. Gonna go car testing this Sat after I get my suspension done for my Hero.

The new Maz6 is pretty amazing to look at. But damn the size of the thing is monstrous. Gotta love that gaping nose too. RM160k+ right? Aiya.. I'm sure you can afford. Look at all the money you've spent on your Perdana man. You're just choosing not to give up you're hero.

Compared to the LFA and MP4-12C, I think it's the cheaper alternative and way more exotic. No to mention completely mental.. 7ft wide will be very interesting to see on normal traffic. Mustangs are cool. But having seen that many in Houston back when I was there, it didn't really seem cooler compared to the Camaros and Vipers. Gawd the Vipers. Oooffff... shiok.

Because Danz rather save the money for FD3S instead.

Camaros looks better if compare to the standard Ford Mustang, but when comes to Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, the widebody and overall I like it. Which is why the new Knight Rider caught my attention
Well, that's me la

Vipers...damn..that car really beyond my reach currently. Hornysex was spotted once by
a friend of mine in KL. If not wrong the photo of it is at Mid Valley Gardens. Not sure which
rich man own that.

6ue5t dude, I think you're married right? Does your wife drive? If not then I understand why you so easily managed to buy that MarkX. If she does, then either she's a very experienced driver or a car enthusiast. My wife is neither. So she has the final say in the car decision making and right now it's not looking like the Polo is high on her list.

Well like i said we're going car window shopping this saturday, in particular the Altis SupFan suggested so we'll see how it goes.

I probably should close this thread until then and then post something up when I actually make payment for a car.

To buy a car, if it is for ourselves, I wouldn't really bring my gf/wife along. Cuz is just not easy to buy with them around. They give u all sort of feedbacks and dislikes. They only recommend cars that they like to u.

I'll 1st ask their opinion on certain cars, then decide myself
Just like example I mentioned I want to get a Satria Neo CPS.
She disagrees because is 2 doors.

But when comes to choosing a car that your gf/wife likes, what I did was, I kept quiet and ask
my gf what car she wants? She make her decision, if the car is okay for me, I will just assist
in checking for her. So end up, bought the Kelisa. Settle without having any headache

exactly...my wife didnt let me keep my previous sgti. had to trade in for a perdana v6 auto. but i came back with a twin turbo manual haha.....no choice ma bought edi...

Golf Mk7, Golf Mk7......

My friend about 2 years ago was talking to me about buying new car for his wife. See this, test that until now still have not bought.....

You buy for me ah? RM150k is beyond my reach la. Besides, it's still on that DSG gb and even though VW claim to have fixed the problem, I wouldn't want to be a guinea pig to find out.

I really hope I don't end up like your friend. I am getting really tired of driving the Myvi. If I could afford it I'd turbocharge the whole thing and buy over my friends custom everything from his dekitted Myvi.

That's a body-kitted car. The real car doesn't look that good. The front nose gape is the same but everything else is quite milder in comparison.

Considering I drive her most of the time, it has to be something I like as well. Compromising is the hard part

Yup, but when bought I thought I won't like it, end up I prefer to drive the kelisa than the BLM

A fun to drive car with better handling

Ya, if can get a car where both you and wife like then easier. No complain from both sides.

Yes, I'm married and she drives but I would not let her drive the Mark X even after she asked a few times! Cause she's not a good driver despite all the lesson I've taught her! She drives my Livina everyday to fetch the kids only. I would never let her drive bigger or more expensive cars no matter what cause if something happened it's gonna be my headache. As for decision making, yes she has a say somewhat (hence I cannot buy real fast cars), but other than that, I decide, even for cars she'll drive.

Good for you, maybe I should've used the same strategy and came back with an Evo IX instead! Oh well the ship has sailed already. :(

He is not a fan of Honda and Hybrids
Sure he will not like the leg room in Honda insight as well on the rear.

At least she dare to drive big car, ask my gf she wont dare to drive car that is bigger than a myvi


but good thing also, at least in future she wont drive my dream car Cuz it will be manual and is bigger.

SupFan has very graciously pointed it out, I'm not a hybrid fan (normal ones anyway) and Fit (jazz) is too small for my purpose. Family car with boot that can fit more than just one stroller is a minimum requirement. Right now the Myvi fits only one stroller and nothing else.

Dammit.. I can't use this strategy with her. She said "what if I need to..." then I pointed out she has never touched my Wira before, she'll follow with a "what if?" Kinda hard to argue with a what if. I'm trying to get my wife to have a look at the Livina as well as the Altis. Let's see how it turns out.

(Wish I had a Mark X or equivalent too)


Ok guys, for those interested to chitchattokkoksingsong this sat, I'm going to EA autoworks to get my suspension done around 12 to 1pm give or take. Maybe we can all meetup for lunch? Either way I'll be there.

 

[DanzEterna]

Too many what ifs in the world. You ask her...what if flood.. then if normal sedan habis already, buy a SUV instead...

Hehehe no need to argue la, if she's gonna be the main driver of the car then let her some say in it. If the car she chooses is the one you don't like, then just make up excuses, like that car is problematic and will cost a lot of money if unlucky etc2. She wouldn't know anyway, right?

For me I actually prefer my wife to just drive cheap small car like Myvi cause she's really not good. But I need an MPV to carry a lot of stuff or people when needed. Initially also thought of buying Myvi for her and I keep driving the Livina, but then I'm too bored with it already as it's actually indeed a boring car! So ok lah since I want something nicer for me, I have to let her drive the Livina.

Mark X is nothing too special lah, still just a normal mid size sedan for middle class people who cannot afford a Lexus yet. It's for people who can only buy a Camry but want just a bit more punch and more importantly a RWD! :)
