[Auto Talk] Honda Accord Or Toyota Camry?

[Falcone]

I'm more of a small car person. I dream to have continental car, still have a liking to Golf GTI, 306, but then I would never bring myself to spend that kind of money on a car, so I be more realistic and eye on Latio or Swift or Yaris or Fit/Jazz, but then I realise I just need to decent car to get from point A to B so I start looking at MyV or Satria, at this point I think I better stop or I'll be looking at bicycle.

The Bimmer 3-series is a really small car la. I think the Camry and Accord is more like the 5-series.

Maintenance for BMWs is also a lot more expensive. Hmm.. Is the build quality that good? The 318i is assembled locally, right?

But I think the Naza Bestari (Peugeot 206) has very poor resale value.

Unfortunately, Nissan still have not upgraded their Cefiro model here. Singapore already had the Taena but it's still not available here.

3-series is just an example. VW Passat is a good choice. 2 litre turbo, 200bhp, nice car.

On quality yes and if you are buying any German make quality is exceptional but repairs are expensive. They are very difficult to work on mechanically and electrically trust me I know.

No offense to anyone on the forum but these vehicles in a lot of ways are bass akwards

Try running cables in a BMW back to front or explaining to a customer why without modification or replacement his rear speakers in his Audi won't work with his new Pioneer MP3 player ... because they have built in amplifiers
