Which is the Chosen One ?

I haven't had the time update lately . Well I'm currently on a dilemma . Here's the deal : I'm getting my first brand new car on my own , you know after you've work so hard .. you wanna reward yourself and get a car you can call it your own you know, from your own sweat . But somehow I'm having difficulties choosing which one .

I've realised that choosing a car is like choosing yourself a future wife :P

(some pictures below was taken from PaulTan.org and Yahoo! go check out PaulTan's blog . its a cool place to read about cars )

Candidate #1 - Proton Satria Neo
---------------------------------


'Ahhhhh.....' followed by a long sigh . That was my reaction when I first saw it . Pretty , nice to look at and fun to be with . You're guaranteed to have a good time . Runs on a 1.6 Campro engine and comes with standard 16" rims (yummy) . But it's a 2-door hatchback and the roof is slightly lower than the rest , something a 'flag pole' like me would find a bit crampy and plus , it can't carry many passengers ..so it has its limitations . Like one of those pretty ladies who looks great but can't cook , do the laundry or cleans up the house you know :P and someone the parents do not agree on .. hmm ...damn she looks fineee ..but is she for long term ? available in less than a week ...

Candidate #2 - Perodua MyVi
-----------------------------------


Ok this one right here , I see her as one of those your parents have set up for you . You know , like an arranged marriage , someone your parents would definitely agree . Runs on a 1.3 DVVT engine like my current Kembara , said to have good fuel consumption and very spacious . But looks - wise , its ok only la . Although its nice overall , but your heart 's not really into it you know ...hmmm where's the connection ? I can't sense it yet and oh , you have to wait for her for 1 or 2 months :P lamanya ..

Candidate #3 - Proton Gen 2
----------------------------------


One of those mysterious looking ones you know , looks impressive , can do more things compared to Candidate #1 and also runs on 1.6 Campro engine but doesn't come with 16"s la . You can have fun , at the same time she's a decent cook , cleans the house etc.. But one thing is that you've been hearing stories like the many problems related to it . So you don't know if she's reliable or not . Well Proton claims they have rectified the flaws which were evident in the first batches . hmmm this is an option ... also available in a week ...

Notice that its all in black ? hehe well that's because its my choice of colour to have for my car . I've always wanted a black ride .. it calls to me hehe . And oh notice that they're all locals ? simply because of its affordability . Awek-awek Jepun ( Toyota , Honda etc..) Korea ( Hyundai etc..) or Perancis ( Peugeot etc.. ) semua out of my range laa ...

Sigh the dillemma .. will 'test drive' all of it to find out ;P ......
