Perodua Nautica... The ideal 4wd?

[Dougster]

Hey guys

as we all know, perodua have just recently launched their latest addition to their line of compact cars... only this time it isnt really compact...

But of course comparisons will be drawn between the toyota rush and the perodua nautica but what do you guys think?

i know some people who are planning to get something within that price range..

RM90k....

Pros and cons anybody?

i personally feel that this is a decent and pretty bold step for perodua to have taken. Breaking out of their cheap compact car category and coming up with something slightly more upmarket... IMHO...

Wadaya think?

rm90k for a perodua? id rather buy a toyota or vios....more reliable, if MPV,
get a naza ria or citra. pick up will be hilux.

 

[Dougster]

AH thats where the stereotypical mindset limits our local cars..

The nautica is predominantly a Toyota... furthermore its assembled in JAPAN.... just rebadged as a Rush here.

ANd the Toyota Rush..is assembled in Indonesia...did u know that?

But this doesnt mean the toyota rush is of bad quality right?

the other examples u suggested are all different categories of car...
Why would Naza be more reliable? When the nautica is in fact fully built by toyota? As u said earlier, you'd rather pay 90k for a toyota....

Notice that no one ever questioned the pricing of the toyota rush? the only thing it has that the nautica doesnt have are 2 extra seats!

but brand is important bro, for rm90k, id rather puchase rush, aftersales is important bro, look at perodua, their efficiency is not as great as toyota,
product wise, there are pros & cons with this 2 cars.......

anyways, are u planning to buy nautica? just my opinion, if i have rm90k,
id but a used harrier,...hehe...cheers bro...

 

[Dougster]

Harrier different class la bro...

More so, 2nd hand harrier...ill die from paying the interest la...

Newer models where got below RM100k?

But thanks for the advice man..

 

[DanzEterna]

i know diff class bro....but u paying rm90k for a malaysian so called 4wd suv,
2nd harrier 98/01 model around rm73k can get.....yala interest abit high....hehe...but if u wan style, must sacrifice abit lor....:)

 

[Dougster]

Yea..i get ur point man..

i wont even call the Nautica a malaysian car la dude..just rebadged only...

But u know ... just comparing la...

The nautica is gona be a much more nimble car to drive around the city..smaller, cheaper to maintain as well... if i were to compare oso i might consider the Suzuki SX4 or Swift or something... if u can see the type of car im looking at la..

Dont want 2nd hand la bro...

 

[DanzEterna]

yeah..i quite like the suzuki swift sport, white color, change 17" rims, & lowered spring will be good enough.....fuh...marvellous...hehee

 

[neojack]

dun make heavy debate here. WTF malaysian car 90K? got tax sumore aa?it shud be 60K.

 

[mivecmerah]

aftermarket problem how? that time u will say, erk!!!!very costly malaysians car parts...

for me, i rather buy old time BMW...ahahhahahha
