augustineRS 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2004 (edited) a car is a car. i think it is good enough when one has its own transport. esp in singapore. i think most auto magazines homepage has a forum. Edited April 12, 2004 by augustineRS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's also called the "hairdresser's" car, "boyracer", "flatcap", "tawkey"... etc, etc, etc. As a generisation, the driver/owner is also defined by the look/marque of his/her car.

augustineRS 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2004 okok. You win realise i made some rambling in the first one. Hey, i'm a 'boyracer' too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2004 Ditto here man! Although this Ah-Beng is slowly weaning towards the sensible family man car (uncle!) but preferably still something with a little oomph! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Q00 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2004 maybe a mercedes is rite up yer alley... or a beamer... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
augustineRS 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2004 maybe the new volvo s40 T5. or the saab 93Aero. The new Legacy perhaps. enough oomph for an uncle! but seriously, alot of family man aka uncle has gone for Scoobys or even the Evo for their family car. 4 door, spacious(maybe not the Scooby) and pretty affordable. Esp for the Scooby, not the STI though. Motorimage just had a promotion for them a few weeks back.apparently to push the sales to greater heights. BTW N@Z, how much difference in price are the cars, as compared between brunei & singapore? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2004 Hehehe... superstar uncle! Beemers & Mercs have never been my cup of tea. Well, not the ones I really like anyway, like the M-Technik & AMGs. The Legacy is yet to be released here, pending price approval from the authorities, so wait & see, I find it the most interesting & suits my present needs. Shame Suby doesn't do turbo diesels, would be interesting! Both the new model Volvo & Saabs look pretty dashing but is expensive to purchase new, not to mention the running & astronomical maintenance cost here. I've driven a '00 model year Saab 9-5 Aero. Blimey! Fantastic in-gear acceleration! In sport mode the car literally lunges you forward as it rapidly accelerates. Definitely an Olympic sprinter in a Boss suit. In most cases you could just divide the cost of SG car prices by 1/2 to get the equivalent price in Brunei. It's cheaper to buy I guess but our financing period is only up to max. of 7 years instead of your 10 years. There's no COE. Insurance just went up recently but I think it should still be fairly competitive compared with other countries within the region. Not sure about (dealer) labour cost for maintenance but spare parts are 2~3 times more expensive in general. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
