Observer 4th Gear May 22, 2013 Share May 22, 2013 To you, what is considered as an upgrade of vehicle? I used to think from a price point, so long my next vehicle is more expensive, that means upgrade. Apparently to some, the CC plays a part as well. Examples: Price Point - Last time buy the car 40k. Now gg change to new car which costs 60k. Rgdless of first or second hand. Performance - Last time drive Honda Accord 90k. Now gg change to copen 60k. Presuming copen performance is better la Car Capacity - From an altis change to Jag XJ...suddenly 5000cc...upgrade? Brand - From Accord to vw scirocco...upgrade? Just for discussion...in office zho bo ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for discussion...in office zho bo If you use price as benchmark...let me give you this very real example... 2007 you bought a WRX for 86K 2012 you bought a Altis for 120K... Upgrade ?? [:p] If COE stays stable ok lah...but with our COE machem like roller coaster...price as benchmark can go outta the window. UNLESS...you use OMV as benchmark.

A5SB 1st Gear May 22, 2013 Share May 22, 2013 For me it's everything. The price, performance, brand prestige, comfort and luxury are considerations. That said my priorities have changed over the years. I was more concern about performance last time. But lately I put comfort and luxury higher up the list, due to my car being used more for family purpose than last time, where it was 80% for work.
