8th Gen Galant

[55Cent]

Hi All,

I'm considering getting a bigger car for daily usage, but my budget is only within RM30k, i have screen thru quite a few option within RM30 or lesser and here are the car ill consider:

1: 8th gen galant 1.8 - 2.0?
2: Honda Accord 2.2 (20k the most)
3: Cefiro A32 2.5 (Start from 18k to 25k)
4: Cefiro A33 2.5 (cheapest 38k - 45k!)

I'm on the sales field and require quite a bit of traveling within klang valley and occasionally out station, my current ride a gen2 1.6 auto, the car has serve me quite well through out the year. however, due to extensive travelling i prefer a bigger and much comfortable car.

ill pass the car to my family members, and get one of the above mentioned car as a replacement.

can someone recommend me which option above is the most practical choices? in term of the following criteria:

- Fuel consumption
- Maintenance
- Accessibility of available spare part

I personally prefer the 8th gen galant with the shark front design that like similar to lancer x, however practicality is the concern, hope and current of past owner of the vehicle can shed some light.

Thank & regards

Hi DanzEterna,

Thanks for the feedback, but i really like the 8th gen galant inside out, instead of outlook modification, which i think is not legal right?

y not go for a perdana, equipped with evo3 or twin turbo engine?

the fc is quite okay as you know is a 2.2.the parts is widely available because mainly you can still find the ori second hand parts here in msia.the main problem about this engine is you must take care of the water and temperature.once it shoot up high then you might have problem such as everyday less water,temperature not stable and so on.overall is a nice car to have

Sir, if i opt for the suggestion, then it defeat the purpose plus evo or twin turbo is practical to drive for a sales man?

But of course when you boost, it will put smile on your face!

Cheers!
