Malaysia's Jazz Hybrid

Assalamualaikum wrt..

I read about the Jazz Hybrid from Paultan yesterday...

Such a brilliant idea from Honda Malaysia in producing more affordable price of Jazz Hybrid.*sarcasm*:)

A CBU from Japan came with a price at RM 94.8 k while this CKD version costs at RM 89.9 k.However this RM 4.9 k different can get you rear disc brake, 4 more airbags, hill start assist, auto cruise, shift paddle, automatic wiper and few others more..

Hmmm, it seems CBU car is much more value for money!


Owh yes, here is the link from Paultan page.

Cheap car prices in Malaysia

Assalamualaikum and good afternoon.

Found this link quite long time ago..

http://beritasemasa.com/harga-kereta-mm2h-malaysia


But since reduction of car price is quite a hot topic, this link could help give indication of the car OTR prices without taxes..( Most of the cars in the table are filled based on old prices since it was not updated but it can be ensure that the prices follow  the current tax calculation based on updated rate in 2006)

It can be seen certain brands like Mercedes and BMW are still on the high side / premium prices. But lets have a look on something common like Toyota Vios. Without all the taxes, a 1.5 G version is selling at 55k compare the taxed prices which is around 84k+..A quick search to the mm2h price for current Honda city E Spec shows it is priced at 62k compared to 90k with taxes included.

Much more affordable I think!

How about the national car prices?With the current prices, our national cars are also being taxed like other foreign brands. Based on the link, a Waja that was priced at 59k could be priced at 39k without all the taxes. With this indication, a Preve model is estimated a starting price of 40k compared to 59k+ with the current price and a myvi which is the best selling car in Malaysia could be priced at around 35k compared to 50k for the Premium Ezi. However, a quick search based on Langkawi car prices shows the saving would be only as much as 10k. This is still rather expensive! A quick search for Proton car's prices without VAT in UK however showed Savvy AMT could be price at GBP 7.1k..Therefore,the price shown in the list is not impossible..

Honestly, I am fully support for affordable car prices and I am believed that our national car maker could also be benefited with this.

5 cars - Forte vs Inspira vs Preve vs Vios vs City

Assalamualaikum wbt and good morning..

I actually have posted in my facebook something regarding about the way of Malaysian getting / surveying a car..Normally people in Malaysia choose a car based on the car budget range and not between the same car segment which is kinda differs to UK or Europe car buyer / review.  For example, Vios and City always been compared with Forte, Inspira and Forte as they are on the same budget range. But the truth, they are on different car segment.

Lower segment car - for better fuel economy, easy to drive and etc
------------------------
Higher segment car - for better performance, handling , comfort and etc


*****

I have been looking at the new 2013 Kia K3. It is totally amazing. I actually quite impressed with Korean car maker in catching up with the Japanese. Right now, I just only feel reliability is the only point or advantage of my consideration for the Japanese car maker since it is early to say about this on Korean cars. Else for value for money consideration, Korean is the best.

A creative and awesome advertisement by Volvo

Assalamualaikum and good morning,

Been watched an ads yesterday about the new Volkswagen Beetle. Basically it is something like a short story that is associated with the Beetle. Honestly, I think this ads is kind of ads that made just only to fulfill the task in associating with vw beetle..(Just my opinion)

Hopefully one day, our ads made would be more creative something like this video..

I just watched it just now after I check into my email which was sent by Autotrader this morning. At first, I thought the ballerina stunt was just an attempt to break the record while it is actually a video about the Volvo.( That email does not tell anything about the Volvo)

I know it came with a cost, but then why bother to do it if you cant give the best of it.

p/s But still, I cant wait to see the new Beetle..hehe

Assalamualaikum and Good Morning,

It has been such a long time I do not post anything in this blog considering the time spend on my studies and my work before this. Been involved in Malaysian Society in UK and handling one of the event in UK had made the time spent on this blog becoming rather worst.

Since I am into the automotive interest before this, this blog was specially made to cope with my interest and addiction towards car. But then I thought, why do I need to make things specialised and complicated while there are ways to make things simple.

So here it is..

The comeback of this blog..Well, this blog is not going to tell just only about the cars, maybe some technology stuff, information, islamic things, and maybe about myself.

Keep coming to this blog..:)
