    Ringgit Malaysia 65K for my GS Mirage

    Rm 1= USD 3.21 if im not mistaken .. our tax structure for car is quite different. just assume one Mc Donald Big Mac price around Rm 7-8. and star buck mocha latte around Rm 13.

    When comparing the Mirage to, for example, the Nissan Versa sedan, remember that the Mirage also has air conditioning standard (which is usually about a $1000 option), and the fuel efficiency is considerably better. If, for example, the Mirage got just 1l/100km better mileage, driving 20,000km/year would save 200l of fuel. At today's price of $1.36/l, that works out to $272, or $2,720 if you keep the car for 10 years. And, that assumes fuel stays the same price. I expect the price of fuel may rise.

    Proton used to sell rebadged mitsubishis. Then they acquired lotus and started designing their own. Their designs were nice to look at but functionally not that good (like lotus), ride and handling is really good with superb chassis rigidity, quality was disgusting (my moms car had bot lh front recliner handles break and both right side door handles broken). And these brook within a few years only!!

    Later the rebadged the current lancer again and developed a mid sized sedan called the prevé. Then they discontinued the lancer.

    The sad thing about Malaysia is that dollar to dollar we earn pretty much the same as the US (maybe less!) but out cars are 5x-6x the price!
    Even converted its 20k for the mirage. And strangely even in tax and duty free langkawi, the mirage still costs about 55k which is like 17.5k usd. Poor Malaysians are being ripped off!!
