No 1,2,3 and last spot believable... but cheater at no 4??? [hur]

Don't you know good guys always come last?

 

You cheat but get better performance compare to the guys who play fair and lose out. Consumers may shout unfair but deep in their hearts how many would go for the lamer performance cars? Very few I think.

7 Cars that Owners Regret Buying

 

http://www.businessi...016-2?IR=T&r=US

 

Guess which  is the most disliked car?

 

Hint: It's selling in Singapore

 

 

I'm not surprised about the most disliked car. I've had the misfortune of buying two as company cars when I used to work elsewhere. Damn cheap yes... but terrible mileage and maintenance. Broke down too often vs the Sunny's which we had replaced with the Rio as cars for the salesmen.

Some of these comments are lame.

 

Bought a CLA which is an entry level Mercedes, then complain it's cheap and lousy. What did they expect then? 

 

 

I also noticed a large number of Nissans in the list  [smash]

The Kia Rio... though what I got for the company was the 1st gen station wagon model.... not this little hatchback.

Isn't Mercedes meant to be a Premium brand?

 

Otherwise, why pay a hefty premium for a CLA? Might as well just get a 2l Mazda 3.

It will usually be premium compared to other brands, but if you buy an entry level Mercs, don't expect the same quality as a mid-range or top line Mercs. Then again, no guarantees an entry level Mercs will be better than a top of the line B&B car from other brands like Toyota or Mazda. You are paying for the badge.

Cannot use our SG myopic impression of car brand.

 

To SG ppl, Mercs is premium. To the rest of world, Mercs is just a normal brand. Many countries use Mercs as a beat up taxi.

So it's a case of being a badge whore and perceived value?

if you read any review (in fact any print in the media) from anywhere in the the world, merc is still mentioned as a luxury brand. Who is the one with myopia here?
