i now drive a 1.3 cc car. which is fuel efficient (not really since its already 7 years old and the gearbox is not 100% functional, but still). but if i start staying far from selangor, i may need to buy a more powerful engined car for my longer travels.
Honestly, power is important for stop-starting city traffic, and for mountains. If your long drive has neither, then 1.3L is fine. But yeah, the gearbox is a problem.
My "daily driver" is twice the age of yours, but with regular servicing it gets 4L / 100km. (Toyota of course, and a hybrid.)
lol. you mention the hybrid at the last part of your sentence. that seems unfair 🤣
yeah, i do face uphill and downhill later on
why with westeners and toyota 😂 thats another puzzle for me.
I love Toyotas.
Western automobile manufacturing, especially in Australia, was all about the sweet sweet government subsidies.
So the secret to great profits was to hire as few engineers as possible, but many designers, lobbyists and lawyers. The product's performance and efficiency was not important. (Important to the consumer maybe, but the customer was not the most important source of money.)
Toyota came in from outside and changed everything. I also own a (very old) Mercedes and a (quite new) Mazda, but I'm going to sell the Mazda and buy bitcoin instead.
my car advertised fuel consumption is about 6.17L/100KM.
but in reality i am only doing 440km per 32 litre of petrol, so that is about 7.27l/100km
toyota is less popular here. people love honda so much
i think the ford ranger 2.0 wildtrak is a pretty car. wdyt?
That's not terrible if there are hills or city traffic involved.
I usually suggest friends fix their old cars fully instead of buying new cars - but Malaysia does have cheap cars...
do we really have cheap cars? for real? my 1.3 saga cvt costed me like RM45000
yeah to be fair, my saga was cool. friends who bought higher cc car was complaining. haha
but the car do struggle a bit when going uphill and downhill.
That is less than half of what I'm selling my 2019 Mazda for. Literally less than half.
Yes, Malaysia does have cheap cars :-p
when i bought my car, i was a junior resident doctor. technically it cost me 10 months of my salary that time. people was saying i should buy a more expensive car that time, but i was like naah
