My Longkang

Suituapui my friend and resident commentor:

Sibu is such a small town and the roads are often narrow and small. What I cannot understand is why people must have such big cars, other than the fact that it’s just an ego trip for some kiasu individuals. (Somehow it seems that the bigger the cars, the smaller the brains!!

Did I hear “Ouch”?)Notice how these stationary cars emit so much fumes when they start to move e.g. at the traffic lights. And what about the fuel consumption. Think of the environment. If they need it for their business or they have big families or the whole family the same shape and size as suituapui, perhaps that’s understandable.

Unfortunately, I can’t afford one…so in my old jalopy, it’s a tight squeeze!!!

I can understand his sentiments. With the unavoidable and expected increase in petrol prices, my friends in the new car and used cars business are telling me that smaller models are receiving more queries and selling more than big petrol guzzling spacious model like SUV of MPV although MPVs are still relatively popular.

For me, I need a car with a high road clearance. It should not be long for parking will be a problem within my compound. The consumption should be economical and the interior is very important. I need it to be spacious and comfortable. Not to mention a wide storage space. It must be powerful enough to overtake a car without any problems with at least 5 passengers in the car.

What is your ideal dream car? I mean one you can afford to buy and maintain For me, the dream car is Toyota Avanza. It is a cool car, can seat seven and has a reasonable price tag.
