Ahtong 1st Gear September 19, 2011 Author Share September 19, 2011 i think one of the things many don't realise in getting a conti, particularly from the VW range, is the expensive maintenance should parts break down. The DSG is a fanciful system, but when the clutches and electronics give way, it's another story altogether. The Jap range is more straightforward, offering cars which are more suited to the climate and style of driving. Yes, it's more simple and right away, it doesn't seem to deserve the price tag. But if you want something that last with minimal hassle, Japs are still the way to go. The lifespan of cars in SG is relatively short, abt 3-5 years. So for most, they may not feel the pinch of a car breaking down. btw, not putting down VW. but reason why i mentioned it is bcos VW seems to be the new Toyo/Nissan these days. And these owners who are used to fuss free japs will be in a for a rude shock when it's time to replace parts. Agree with you completely. VW is more shiok to drive than Toyota but even a simple thing like servicing is ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceroymenthol 6th Gear September 19, 2011 Share September 19, 2011 When idiots like me can buy a maseriti with cash, it will be a common car Many idiots in singapore can buy a maserati in cash. It is just a matter of whether the maserati constitutes 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, 1% or 0.01% of that idiot's cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceroymenthol 6th Gear September 19, 2011 Share September 19, 2011 C&C gave up mitsubish agent few months ago liao. Not sold by some PI dealer..if I remember correct. That why the sales is even lower at 13 units. Mazda also up lorry Liao. The Jap better wise up and offers more high tech spec and equipment levels or else really not worth compared to the conti. My next car after Jazz will most likely be conti. Do you think singapore is a very big market for the jap companies? Do you think the jap companies care whether singaporeans like you want to buy their cars or not? "better wise up" indeed. Another frog in well singaporean who thinks little red dot is very big and important. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiadaw 6th Gear September 19, 2011 Share September 19, 2011 (edited) Talk about Porsche. Anyone knows if Cayman S runs on 95 or need 98 or higher Octane fuel? I am interested in a used one. Before someone say, "Got money to buy Porsche, no money to pay fuel!" 1stly check the price. Cayman prices 2ndly, Some fuel station do not have high octane fuel in Europe, so if it can run 95, its a bonus. Just to be fair, this is how much the Maserati GT cost in Germany, & its consider one of the more expensive place to own a car in Europe. Masearti Gt Prices Of course cannot compare apple to apple, but a used GT cost around a new Altis here. Thats how crazy our price are here.
