Tuscani price drop

[Osiris]

That's , but i am comparing apple to apple - auto car in my example...

[Synergy]

but i think they are selling the manuel tus overseas at a higher price than the auto

 

but damn 8.5 secs ....

wow, 1.9 second penalty for an auto is horrid... its like a flashback to the 20th century... IMHO, they should outsource the manufacture and design of their gearboxes if they aren't capable of making a decent one, that'll probably be better than selling only manual versions.

 

i never knew the tuscani could do a sub 9 second century sprint, that's pretty decent given the price of the car to begin with.

its very hard not to take comments like that personally; your choice of a car is usually a statement of who you are, your personality and how you hope to be perceived by others.

 

also, i wouldn't like to fork out good money for a car, only to have it ridiculed and mocked by the general motoring public... i would get defensive too if i were in his shoes.

 

nevertheless, everyone should chill...

[DarkLord]

Lose to corolla? Oh man. Cannot tahan such slow pick up.

 

i have been driving the tus for about 1 month ++

 

my fc is around 9 to 10

 

my fren on stock rims getting near 11

 

i can't really complain about the performance since i got it at such a cheap price

 

74K

 

the pickup is not up to my standard but with some minor I-H-E MODS

 

this car can be much better than most of its japanese counter parts that costs around the same price

and at HI END , i am sure it performs better than 1.6L cars like altis , civic , impreza , mz3 (not flaming any japanese car owners here)

 

and remember what you pay is what you get , you pay peanuts to get a monkey ..........

don expect something better

You are comparing a 2.0L car to 1.6L cars? Why don't you compare it to a Saab 95 or WRX which are 2L as well?

[Louis]

perhaps he's comparing based on price bracket and not engine displacement. i'm not sure... are there other 2.0L cars available for 75k?

I also think pple think too lowly of the Tus leh..

 

Unless got too much money to spend, at that price I will find it really a nice buy.

 

Also, most females I have met would very much prefer a smooth and safe ride rather than a speedy one...so i would say will love the car too for its looks and for its safe driving.

[DarkLord]

Ermz... Don't think so.

[Jiayong]

So.... if they think cheap is no good, den u should tell them big is still better, since they wanna compare in such shallow ways. Aiya.... dun ever be bothered by these comments lah. Get wat u need and wat suits ya, even a pauper earning a decent living is more respectable den a wannabe posing as an aristocrat.

 

Hee hee...tell them there is no replacement for displacement.

[DarkLord]

Just now I met 4 Tus and 1 Accent while sending gerger and her sister back after groceries shopping. One of them tried to play punk with me, but since I got two gals with me, I had to left it go...

Wah!!! Swee!!! i like your statement!!!

 

Pple always ask me why spend the money I had on my car instead of other newer and faster choices. True enough, I could have gotton a faster, newer, less problematic, Vtec driven twin cam 16V with the money I paid for my car...but I guess speed wasnt the main factor that influenced my decision.

 

I did rather be 5 sec slower and be able to drive the passion of my teenage life..hee hee...dunno whether when I become ah pek already will i still drive my car...haha..

[Jiayong]

haha..how did they try to play punk?

 

You should take your car to PG for a day track with the bros...u will come to realise playing on the roads no longer hold any meaning to you.

[Louis]

no other 2.0L cars in that price range? then i would say its quite a good buy, based on printed specs.

 

as for the punks who like to challenge... normally i don't bother

Then Takumi will change to a WRX like his dad!

[DarkLord]

From red lights, chiong and cut in front of me. I kinda rev as well but due to the extra load and my new pedals, I can't go any faster!

[Louis]

next time wind down your windows, show him the gals in your car and ask him how come he's alone...
