tanlowyatking — Sun, 22 Apr 2018 21:11:24 +0800

Hey guys,
Can you recommend me any shop in Penang that can really nego direct with the manager/boss/owner for a really good pricing?
I'm planning to buy all from only 1 single shop, so I'm really selective in my purchase as I have the slight bargaining advantage.

I will be buying a complete set of electrical items for my new home, looking for a lot of items example:
TV 55" and above with 4K
Air cond 4 units
Ceiling Fans 5 units
Water pump with rainshower 2 units
Washing machine front loader 1 unit
Refridgerator 1 unit
Air purifier 1 unit
and a few other electrical items

Please recommend me. Thank you.

Vios 2016

tanlowyatking — Thu, 17 Nov 2016 22:34:43 +0800

Hey all,

I've recently just tried the 7 speed CVT Dual VVT-i for latest Vios.

For me, i feel its a smooth, but a bit underpowered during acceleration.

May i know if this engine and transmission have been implemented into which other car? I'm concern about its wear/tear.
The old 4AT has been dumped, but that was what makes it a GodCar.

With this new engine, hmmmmm

Proton Persona Premium or Honda City E

tanlowyatking — Sat, 15 Oct 2016 12:15:00 +0800

It boils down to these 2 choice:
PROTON PERSONA 2016 PREMIUM (RM59K) VS HONDA CITY E (RM77K)

I will be making a decision to buy either one of these car in 2 weeks time.

My main usage for this car will be HEAVY HIGHWAY TRAVELLING.

I have test driven both, and found that there's not much difference between the two in terms of performance.

Some said to go for City (Stability, Reliability, Reputation)
Some said to go for Persona (Lower maintenance cost, more features and not worth to squeeze that extra 28K for a City)

Personally, my heart goes to Persona right now.

I just want to ask the sifus here (Persona 2016 owners), any major issues you have encountered? Is it stable at speed 120-130 km/h on the highway? Is it shaky? Fuel consumption on par with City?

Would like to gather one final round of advice from all sifus before I purchase.

Thank you all.

Your review of Proton Persona 2016

tanlowyatking — Thu, 22 Sep 2016 00:37:30 +0800

I had a test drive just now. All i can say is... WOW. Apart from the loud engine noise during acceleration, i think this is a really good car at a very reasonable pricing (I'm talking about the Premium model - RM59.8K). Not too shabby at all.

Any 2016 Persona owners here? What would be your review for this car here?

Honda City E vs Vios G vs Mazda2

tanlowyatking — Tue, 20 Sep 2016 21:02:37 +0800

Hey car sifus,

As title suggests, between the City E, Vios G and Mazda2 (Skyactiv), I have a few questions in mind:

1. Which one provides the most reliable performance for long term, high mileage usage?
2. Which one is the cheapest to maintain in case of breakdowns or parts exchanged AFTER the warranty period is over?
3. Which one provides the best performance in terms of speed, stability, driving experience? (I'm looking at you Mazda2)
4. Which one is the least reliable and costly to maintain in the long run?
5. What are the common parts that breaks down for each brand? Knocking sounds, steering issue, suspension issue etc etc...

p/s: I know the latest Mazda2 Skyactiv isn't out in the market that long yet, but I just threw it into the comparison because it has improved so much since the previous iteration.
