Merc price drop!

[Thaiyotakamli]

they also have a "buy A class auto upgrade to B class" promo.

 

wonder if they have buy C auto upgrade to E ...... :P

 

then who buy A class??

[Xtrocious]

lol .. tat guy purely looks at specs .. guess he has never sat in a c-class b4 ..

 

must be a 15 year old nerd looking at IT specs like tat

 

a c-class drives like a sports sedan .. a forte drives like a wooden coffin

 

hmm...maybe we should clobber together all those features he liked into a Geely and see whether he still thinks it's as good as a C180

 

 

[Cerano]

Bingo - the fact that a Kia Forte is so much better than a Mercedes C180 has been staring at you guys in the eye for so long, but all of you have been blinded by the ginormous star in front of the bonnet to see the fact! Wake up guys! It's dumb to pay so much for a C180 when the Forte offers so much more for less. Must tell all those rich towkays how stupid they are to buy a E-class over the Hyundai Sonata, even though they're making millions a year.

 

Oh... better tell my friend that his Patek Phillipe is a dumb buy as well. My Casio can keep time much more accurately, got light, stop watch and alarm somemore...

 

hi bro

 

can your kia forte do like what my humble C200 do?

 

I say 98.7fm it will auto swap. Same goes for any radio station. I say DVD it plays my loaded dvd. Same goes for CD. I say navigation, home it guides me home

[Cerano]

bro, compare car based on features.. chances are you wont be buying a premium car like c-class.

 

alot of higher-end cars also have non keyless ignition, still traditional keyhole.. just an e.g, doesnt mean they are botak or not as good in terms of features.

 

all these features, in my opinion, can be coined into monetary sense.

 

but other things that a premium car can offer but a bread&butter car can't, those.. isnt measured in monetary sense because they can't

 

even a "normal" C180 has a electronically coded key with built in immobiliser and for the US, the C300 has MBrace which u can lock,monitor,unlock, start engine from your iphone.

 

 

the chrome one

honestly speaking, the additional nice to have features of what a KIA or Merc has is not the critical point here.. For me, my personal opinion is that the body structure and its safety features of the car are the most important. Whether one has the option of keyless engine start or real-time monitoring tech from iPhone is not crucial, as most importantly, cars are vehicles for us to drive on the road. What matters most is the safety. My car saved my life in a recent accident. Having memory seat or LED light accessories was nothing more important than the airbag deployment and safety belt system. Just my two cents worth. :)

what i'm trying to say is,

 

Kia is really all the car you'll need....

 

a Mercedes-Benz with that 3-pointed star is just a want....

 

you're just paying for the badge....whores....

that is correct too.

 

and given that MB engineers measure the amount of force to press a single button.

 

 

(1 newton to be exact for C-class buttons)

 

i dont think MB would be less safe than any KIA

[Ferraricalifornia]

not that i condemn Mercedes-Benz or BMW though....

 

tonnes of them running around these days....

 

but that just means there's no exclusivity to the brands already....

nahh.

 

like this you may as well buy a chery qq since all you need is to move around.

[Windchoco]

cruise control, auto headlights, keyless entry and go, leather seats, 17inch alloys, climate control air-conditioning, distance to empty, i-POD Connectivity, chrome door handles, signal lights on wing mirrors, ABS, EBD are all standard on a $70k Forte 1.6SX (A)....

 

yet, the C180CGI can't even match up with some of the features on the Forte, but it costs over $150k....

 

you're pretty much paying for the badge and engineering, but mostly the badge....

 

and the C-Class is almost everywhere these days (as with the E und S-Klasse), so what exclusivity or luxury are you talking about???

 

 

U compare a bangkok pasar malam leather wallet and a Mt Blanc 1, the Mt Blanc 1 cost well over 10 times the price. Somemore the Mt Blanc 1 got zero additional features.

 

So do you see, the C-class is a wonderful deal. The premium over the low end is only 2x diff. [laugh]

[Windchoco]

nahh.

when a person is not the 1 buying, he will tok big big...

 

when i young i also ask my papa, why don't buy a rex / evo ? only cost a bit more only ma.. lol

[Ferraricalifornia]

thats why a car here is a luxury rather than a need....

 

in most countries,

 

as long the car can move can already....

 

don't really care about the brand and all....

to own a car in SG is not cheap as compared to other countries... I agreed to that.

 

Brand or what may be another thing but the quality and built matters..

 

I come to realise, no matter how safe I am as a driver, there are always other drivers who are extremely reckless, that's when accidents happen.... Question here, is the body and built of the car strong/sturdy enough to save you in the event of mishap?

Over here, u also can do that. Chery QQ also can move. When it is chiet by Lambo, it will shake or not is a different story.
