My neighbour is interested in getting the Harrier but not happy with the sales person. Can anyone recommend a good contact from BM?

I had the same issue with BM 17years ago . I walked out and never went near BM since. Sadly, not everyone appreciates the importance of customer service. Just saying.

Agree!

 

I worried about the Reliability of my post-warranty hybrid Lexus and it's imminent Death before it's time, worried about runaway COE/VES (Taxes).... And therefore I made the Change.

 

:D

How about the wave of electric cars and the 2000 charging stations in 3 years time - will that make our cars today obsolete?

Chris Tan likes the Harrier..

Goodbye RAV4..

 

 

Brand-conscious folks who shun the Toyota nameplate because they feel the brand is old and boring should find cheer in the new Harrier.

The compact sport utility vehicle (SUV) from Toyota does not wear a Toyota badge. It has its own - a symbol of the predatory bird it was named after.

But what is so new about the Harrier? After all, the car has been available in Singapore for nearly 15 years through parallel importers.

For starters, this is a turbocharged version, powered by a 2-litre 227bhp/350Nm engine found in the Lexus NX (but slightly detuned). This makes the parallel-import version - powered by a rather dated 2-litre 149bhp/193Nm engine - seem, ahem, old and boring.

To be sure, the current RAV4 is a well-built and well-equipped car with a better fit and finish than any of its predecessors. Despite that, it is not among Borneo's top sellers. Hence the arrival of the turbo Harrier may well seal its fate.

The Harrier is more attractive in every way. To begin with, the new car has a sportier design. On the road, it resembles the Lexus NX (another car which shares its platform) more than it does the RAV4.

While the RAV4 stays true to the traditional SUV mould, the wedge-shaped Harrier looks bold and futuristic.

At the wheel, however, it feels more like the RAV4 than the Lexus NX. Its ride is soft and springy, with body movements that are noticeable but tolerable. You would not mistake the car for anything but an SUV.
