inlinesix Supersonic October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 Don't get me wrong. I am all for the new generation fast-shifting transmissions if they are a) in cars that prioritise performance (Porsche, BMW M cars) and b) quicker than a manual. However, the driver buying those cars must at least know how to drive a manual, preferably with some real skill (heel-toe, etc.). In which case, buying a PDK or DCT becomes a conscious performance-oriented decision and not a cop-out because one can't drive. Luckily, there is still got Gayman GT4 & ///M2. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terenc3 1st Gear October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 I got my first car as a Fiat Grande Punto MT too. I believe that we should at least own a MT car in our lifetime.. Driving and enjoying it every moment.. Though sometimes i free gear more than necessary. Hahaha.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13177 Supersonic October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 Singapore got no market because not many people here can drive, and a lot will take Class 3A 'cos they can't pass Class 3. Europe got big market because many people there can actually drive. Cant pass Class 3? Then last time only have Class 3, how eh? Lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangadrool Supersonic October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 Assuming B&B and non-performance car, get Ford Focus 1.6M if you can get hold of one. Sells very fast in 2nd hand market. Usually sold within less than a week. Really?

Kurty Supercharged October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 (edited) gen 2, if you frequently drive toward northern,Yeah. So fat I got good experience with proton.. My current rides and past, all from proton.. They should reward me as their loyal customers. . Assuming B&B and non-performance car, get Ford Focus 1.6M if you can get hold of one. Sells very fast in 2nd hand market. Usually sold within less than a week. Ford focus, bro gs also been sharing with me. What so special about this car? I'm actually thinking of getting a 1.6m then renew coe.. Is spare parts easily available in sg or malaysia? Honda civic 1.6m, minus the high cost though..

Acewin 4th Gear October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 Totally agree - I dread the day I have to give up my manual car, will be hard to find a replacement. I guess maybe 10 years down the road if you bring a manual car to workshop as them to change clutch many workshop probable got no experience. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow.. cool, that's interesting. So far I yet to see one in sgcarmart. I guess with my budget and preference, I don't have much choices. Subaru - nice but drinker Civic - nice but expensive Vio, Toyota. . Same.. Chevrolet - optra, looks interesting. Kia - rio and cerato. Mitsubishi lancer, decent but ah beng to me. Proton - gen 2 and persona.. am I fated to go for proton only.. Chery t11 1.6, look appealing but don't dare to try.. All based on 1.6m, hatch or sedan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azaouogh 2nd Gear October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 I guess maybe 10 years down the road if you bring a manual car to workshop as them to change clutch many workshop probable got no experience. Don't worry 10 yrs or even 20 yrs down the road the mechanics still know how to service your manual gb car as most of the mechanics here 're msians. There 're still plenty of manual gb cars in msia. They don't have coe thus some of the cars there 're over 20yrs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
