I would say RX-8 because it's a 1.3L which means you get a cheaper road-tax but it gives out Stock if Automatic = 197 hp @ 7200 rpm
Stock if Manual = 238 hp @ 8500 rpm. Its powerful and believe me its fast and its nice. Of course, you need to be prepared to fuel up this car a lot, its a rotary.
Save on road tax abit only. Few tank of RON97, gone. Bahahaha.

bancruptcy rate & AKPK cases also increasing every year. :biggrin:
Yet most are age below 30, and mostly young people. Car Loans and Credit Card top the list
of bankruptcy.

That's why Sports Car/performance car for fresh graduates? Not really a good idea.
Can't walk adi wanna run.

Was thinking the same, maybe fresh graduates just graduated lately, and start to dream big but a bit too rush for some.
Around this time a lot graduating right?:biggrin:
If everything goes smoothly for me, I think I'll be graduating 4 years later. :banghead:
By that time, I might ask similar questions in ZTH but I'll be looking at cheaper alternatives first. Perhaps cars like old Civics, Corollas, Putra, Satria, Perdana, Galant and etc. :biggrin:

Yeah, the i3 is starting production already and later will have a discussion based on how much mileage you can squeeze on a single charge, weight of the car, what you're carrying, and which model is minimum drag resistance.

I guess in 7-9 years time, 50% of new cars on the Malaysian market will be either hybrid or full electric.

Proton and Perodua will not be building hybrid or full electric within this coming 10 years, and guarantee 50% or more of the new cars on the road will be Proton and Perodua. Based on this logic, I disagree, let's visit this thread again in 8 years time.

Noooo. My dream will be crushed then. No exhaust sound and no combustion engine. No high rpm in car as well.

Then at least I still have a chance of enjoying internal combustion engine before they die off.

Then petrol will be at RM10/L.....:smokin:
That will be a sad news indeed... :banghead:

It will sound electrifying :rofl:

Don't look down on electric cars, the Porsche Hybrid fully on Electric is kinda fast as well.
But then my only worries is Electric Bills and Maintenance for a full electric car.

But then no worries on what Engine oil to use, whether is fake or real :rofl:
Just worry about what brand of Battery on sale that time...

Maybe by that time Everyday will come out with Car Battery :rofl:

I know electric cars can be fast. Like those from Tesla Motors USA. But electric cars don't have turbo or even exhaust to make those nice sound. So, in a way it is fast, but some of the traditional characteristics of a car has been robbed off as well.

But when that day comes, we've got no choice but to accept it.

You can pretend you're in the future driving an "electric" car or trying to get used to it. Find your stereo's power cable and its speaker output cable and align it together. Probably the most realistic experience on a car w/o loud air filter and exhaust muffler. *WeeeEEEeeeeEEEeee*

That sounds almost like playing Need For Speed, Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsports already.
If like that, then the car can change sound depending on what you like for that day. Today feel like going for high rpm NA sound and plays VTEC engine sound. Or another day if feels like booosssstttt, turbo engine sound will be played with blow off pppsssssttttt :rofl:

You guys are referring to those people who trying to pretend and fool themselves that they are driving a turbocharged car with the fake turbo kepish kepish device installed in their car? Lol! :rofl:
