What is your back-up/daily ride?

[RIKI]

Been thinking of getting another car for my daily commute. Kl traffic is slowly kiiling my new ride :burnout: Just wondering what is your back-up ride?

 

[turbology]

another BMW!
(Bus Mini Wilayah)

 

[funfer_fahrer]

I have a Smart forfour 1.5L

Small enough to squeeze into KL rush hour traffic.
Big enough to fit 5 people.
Fast enough to chase a Merc E200K and teach him a lesson he'll never forget.
Very frugal.

woh! in that case I wouldnt want to mess around with you...Im afraid if either of your rides does not manage to teach me a lesson....next, i will be seeing a boeing 747 in my rearveiw mirror...

A mini Toyota 1.3L MPV.. small enough to squeeze through most double parking hazards and back escape lanes, yet huge enough to fit 7 adults. Economy to run and yet can fit in the biggest wardrobe you can find in IKEA and 3 years old now at 100k km.. still as reliable as the first day it rolled out from the showroom.. it has proven to withstand all sort of abuses I subjected it to..

My usual balik kampung runner due to the ample seats and space..

Back up car - Wifey's Jazz Vtec.. perfect town car... fuel saver... Daily drive is still a BMW...

cheers

Same here. It's the car of choice when going to parking spaces which leads to door dings. The bimmer stays home in such cases

No issue of door dings with my smart car. He he

Missus' E46 or Mini Cooper (now with dotter). The force is strong with me.

Yea love the plastic panels concept! The Smart makes a great daily workhorse. JPB also uses his Smart for4 during the days to work (open air car park) and keeps his E92 parked in his basement carpark at home for use during weekends only heh.

Been thinking of getting the folliwng

1) The white Proton Neo CPS - Love the look, handling is second to none, CPS engine is much better now but Quality issues are still concern to me

2) An E46 of similar price range ( about RM60k) - what can I get ?

3) or an E39- adding RM20k to 30 k more - can this really be a back-up car

Cheers

Not rich la.. I am trying to let go my current 3 year old Gen2 trashing car ( if I can let go)
It is good handling car but the engine is lousy.

Need to rest the E90 on some days as the jam are so bad in KL on some days that I really hate to age the car too fast. Cannot really become only weekend car as I really love to drive it everyday :top:

Avoid proton at all costs no matter how good they claim.

2) An E46 of similar price range ( about RM60k) - what can I get ?
Not reliable as a backup car.

3) or an E39- adding RM20k to 30 k more - can this really be a back-up car
Also not realiable as a backup car although I own one. BMW is more suited as a hobbyist car. You know hobby? Like playing Airfix, Hasegawa, lego..

Cheers

These are only my personal views. Cheers to you too!
